Last night I invented a time machine...

So last night I invented a time machine, it only needs the parts made and put together. You can go back and watch past events, but you can't interfere and they won't know you will be watching.

So the things needed are:

Special infrared and x-ray telescope satellites that can travel 1000000 times the speed of light.

Remote control tower on the moon

Computer to decode satellite info and splice videos

Here is how it works...

Say you want to go back and see your own birth. For me its 1975. So the satellites move away from the earth all together at the same distance, 35 light years away. So they then will all be receiving light from the earth that was reflected from the sun 35 years ago, and they can all work together to get every angle, see through buildings, etc. They send the info back via magic wormhole and bam you are watching your own birth on the television.

Now if you will excuse me, me and the boys are working up tinker toy models today of this.

Batteries in space... you all are living in a fantasy land.

Now if you will excuse me I have to figure out how to go faster than the speed of light by noon.

Start buying lots of magnets and 3 foot diameter steel piping.

      From what I gather, sure it allows you more room in that you can manipulate the cap more due to smaller prorated amounts to fit salaries in, but for cap purposes, you're still on the hook for the money at the end of the day.    "ChatGPT You said: What are the advantages for NFL teams to sign larger signing bonuses? ChatGPT said: NFL teams often use large signing bonuses as a strategic tool in contracts. While they cost real cash up front, they offer several advantages, especially when it comes to salary cap management, player retention, and negotiation leverage. Here's a breakdown of the benefits: ✅ 1. Salary Cap Flexibility Signing bonuses are prorated over the life of the contract (up to 5 years) for salary cap purposes. This allows teams to spread out the cap hit, even if the player receives the money immediately. Example: A $20M signing bonus on a 4-year deal counts only $5M/year against the cap. ✅ 2. Attracting Top Talent Players love signing bonuses because they're guaranteed money paid up front. Offering a bigger signing bonus can sweeten the deal without inflating yearly salaries. ✅ 3. Front-Loading Real Cash, Not Cap Teams with strong cash flow can pay big bonuses now while minimizing the immediate cap hit. Useful for teams trying to build around rookie QB contracts or with flexible cash budgets. ✅ 4. Locking in Key Players Larger bonuses make it harder for a player to be released early due to dead cap consequences. This can create more job security for the player and roster continuity for the team. ✅ 5. Leverage in Restructures Big signing bonuses create future cap hits via proration. Teams can later restructure deals (e.g., convert salary to bonus) to create even more cap space. ✅ 6. Competitive Edge In free agency, a team offering more guaranteed cash up front often wins the bidding war, even if the total contract value is lower than another team's. ⚠️ Key Caveat: Large signing bonuses increase dead cap risk if the player is cut or traded early."   I think that roster bonuses can be a useful tool if you're trying to keep players in by manipulating numbers and spreading the hit over time, but I don't think that it's something that you want to use unless it's "necessary." I don't know that you want to get into signing rookies on roster bonuses, as the bust rate is relatively high.

      not even if that team in New Orleans disbands before the first game.  Saw one 2026 mock that had them drafting first next year.
