Water?

Cavity Creeps?

a Dunkin' Donuts?

 

The NASA New Horizons spacecraft is just hours from Pluto, having received final commands for its close encounter early Tuesday with the dwarf planet, which is rapidly revealing itself as a geologically complex little world.

This 9 1/2-year journey to a tiny keyhole in space some 3 billion miles from Earth is the equivalent of a golfer on the East Coast hitting a ball across the continent and making a hole-in-one in Los Angeles. So declared the project manager, Glen Fountain, on Monday morning in a news briefing at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, the home of the New Horizons mission.

“People talk a lot about how surreal it is that we’re really here,” principal investigator Alan Stern said. “It feels like you’ve been walking on an escalator for almost a decade, and then you step upon a supersonic transport.”

      Dan Morgan on the Rich Eisen show

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.

      Well, seeing as we play the Lions at home this year, pretty sure that rumor isn't true.

      Totally possible imo, I also caught that snippet from Morgan where he said “If” we sign him. The lack of competition says otherwise tho 🤷‍♂️
