Pressure vs. Sacks:
In an ironic twist of fate, the Falcons now have a pass rush...
BUT, they rank 18th in EPA/pass & 17th in Success Rate.
They are elite in man coverage (4th in EPA), but not so much in Zone (26th).

Global warming solved!
After sitting through all those talks at the Royal Society this week, I'm pretty sure this is a more effective use of rocks to solve climate change.
This new climate solution rocks!

Now that the Sept and Oct data are (belatedly) in, it looks like 2025 will be the second warmest year in the record (~80% probability). The last three years are in a class of their own.

I always find survey results like this staggering (almost to the point of unbelievability).
The US was spending around 1% of its federal budget on foreign aid.
The average guess among 1,000+ surveyed Americans was 26%.
15% thought it was over half of the budget (?!)
