Human tragedy and what it does to me

I see their faces on the TV screen and I stay as detached as I can. The unbelievable anguish that must be going through their minds. The loss. The stomach punch of everything they have worked for and ever hoped for being gone just like that. Those poor, devastated people. I am of course talking about Packers fans.

you know, im not too sappy, and am pretty numb to all the bad poo in the world, that being said:

Havent seen much at all about the Haiti earthquake, but flipped it on CNN last night and they showed this 11 year old girl pinned under debris. Her legs and lower body were pinned and she was able to talk and take on water and such...

they said they were finally able to free her, but that she died soon after.

that really was horrible.

I read that story this morning after I posted this. She said "Mother, please don't let me die" right before they lost her.

In the Spartanburg paper this morning there was a man who had been to Haiti on a humanitarian mission a few years ago who said he would not go back this time because he had guns pointed at him last time. I wish our army had permission to fire away at those thugs this time. Last night Sanjay Gupta was the only doctor who stayed at one of the hospitals...the rest cleared out because the Red Cross told them it wasn't safe to stay there.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
