Not as bad as I thought: 4/10.
But like in Quiet Place, this apex predator made no sense, especially against a highly advanced human civilization.
On top, both are easy to manipulate and without vision rather weak predator.
In nature next to every hunting predator depends on good vision.

No! You got 3/10...that is what you get when purely guessing. I would end up in the negative.

Not trying to diminish Lewandowski's record achievement, but he wasn't the only player to break a goalscoring record in the Bundesliga this season. André Silva broke Eintract Frankfurt's Bernd Hölzenbein’s goalscoring for most Bundesliga goals in a season in the clubs history, though that won't get the attraction it deserves. In fact only Lewandowski, Messi and Ronaldo scored more than him in the major European Leagues, yes even more than Haaland!!! Messi and Co. have 38 match days, Lewandowski and Silva have only 34. But the Bundesliga is a Mickey Mouse league with 18 and not 20 teams.

You have no idea how pissed I was when Hamann asks Lewandowski not to break Müller's record out of respect for him. A) if at all, it is on Müller to make this request, and b) he would never come to the idea to ask something like that. An athlete always strives for the best performance possible, if not, he is corrupting the very idea of fair sportmanship. And what would be the worth of this record after it was granted to remain out of pity. https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/nfzai9/dietmar_hamann_what_kind_of_a_signal_would_that/ I don't like Lewandowski that much, but I would never ask him to deny himself well deserved achievements. PS: Olympic gold medals for British athletes will be hissed nonetheless. Thank god there are _NO_ Olympics till 2024.

I like Fitzy too - but he reminds me of when Cousins played for the Skins
He'd put up jaw dropping stats - but his teams would finish like 7-9, 8-8, 9-7 and he'd disappear when the lights were shining on him
Seems like Fitzy puts together like a string of like 4 games where his stats are off the charts then disappears
Agree about Baker. Love him. Can't wait to see what he does this year
My Super Bowl is Browns over Cowboys
As far as Stafford - I may be off - but has he ever won a playoff game? I get he's been on some bad Lions teams but he's been around forever, no? I'm really curious to see what he does with the Rams
Mayfield's QB rating last year was 15th, slotted right in between Matthew Stafford and Gardner Minshew. He had more weapons than the Lions and Jaguars combined. Can't wait until the Browns' salary cap is gobbled up by his average ass. The same can be said about Mahomes and his packed roster. There is a reason why Rodgers, Wilson and Brees have only one ring. I'm even thinking why not exclude one player from the cap space and let the team decide how much they are willing to pay.

I like Fitzpatrick, but is he really better than Trevor Lawrence? Ah yes, Lawrence hasn't played a single snap in the NFL...so is he the next super star, or a major bust? And how is Mahomes better than Brady, when he lost with the defending Super Bowl winners, while Brady had to lead a 7-9 losing record team as new QB through three on the road play of games to a Super Bowl, where Mahomes did not manage a single TD? This is more a fanboy list. Or Rodgers, as reigning MVP. Mahomes is third at best after the performance of last years: easy schedule, and yet an abysmal defeat when running into a true opponent. A guy who was running for his life when it mattered the most can't be the best player of the league. Yes, he fought bravely, but he couldn't lead hist team, overcome it short comings, compensate gaps, couldn't even make a single outstanding move. And players like Kelce where still there. The pocket wasn't breached every single time. Two injured O-line players does not excuse everything. OH, it's not only the playoffs that matters, but also the regular season? Then again: Rodgers is MVP, and Brady had to overcome massive obstacles and the Bucs development was most impressive one. Brady (in the end one plays for the ring, not for stats, and the "learning curve" of the Bucs) Rodgers (MVP with a team, that is not as packed as the Chiefs) Mahomes (absolute elite players, but the Super Bowl proved that he is no GOAT) Stafford only 11?! If so, why did the Rams bother at all and didn't even try to get Watson? Imagine they had still the opportunity to go for Rodgers... Mayfield is also underrated, while Dak Presscot is massively overrated. Did they rank his contract, or his impact? Herbert, Burrows, Zack Wilson, and Lawrence are also not fairly rated imho.

I'm agree with you in all thing you said but Stafford. I don't say he is a top five player, but - imho - certainly top ten. But now he has a team which can compete. So no more excuses for him. PS: Best wishes for "Fitzy", and it would be great if he made it to the play offs...I might be wrong, but he never made it there, didn't he?

But the E in EPL stands for English right? But I know what you mean. I guess you (your league) went too far in terms of investors, and we (50+1 rule) are too restrictive...there must be a middle ground between allowing investors into the sport without selling it out entirely. Veto rights for the clubs members, ban of certain types of investors, expulsion (forced sale) of investors in case of (severe) violations of the code of conduct/fair play rules etc. pp. I think Bundesliga should expand to 20 leagues. German has a better economy than other countries with big leagues (UK, France. Italy and Spain). Attendance per game is higher in Bundesliga. Germany has had more success in international football than other nations. I couldn't agree more with you. My reasoning for years.

An all English CL-final has its price. The European Super League was to great part your* idea, and Real and Co. jump in. *not my fault that English has no case system. So, when I say "your", I don't mean you (dich), but you (euch) It's laughingly referred to as an All English Final. It's an All-EPL Final. There isn't enough home grown and nurtured talent, so call it the latter. It serves right. But the E in EPL stands for English right? But I know what you mean.

I didn't see anything particularly controversial from him either. He probably got upset that some posters were staunchly defending Israel's actions.
He asked Admin if they could ban him from the Politics board but they said they couldn’t and that’s why he self deleted. Told me in a PM I just read. Hope he doesn’t mind me letting other people know. Can't he just stay away from it, or put the worst people on ignore (including their threads). I did it with Nobbi, and it was a great move in regard of my blood pressure.

We all know about the pandemic, and how it affected movie making. I was thinking, these movies that were honored last night were mostly made during 2019, before the pandemic hit. The real ceremony that will be different will be next year's Oscars. I don't know how many movies Oscar-worthy will have been made during 2020, at the height of the pandemic. I liked how they did the show, within the restrictions. I was so relieved that they didn't have everyone at home, the screen full of squares. They still make TV show, don't they. Hollywood movies have become next to irrelevant because they no longer make movies of interest or relevance. Low ratings due to COVID...the people sit at home and would welcome entertainment. Get woke, go broke.

I don't believe that New Zealand, which paid a extreme high price, will stay free of the virus. And if so, then all was for nothing. And I believe the costs are in no relation to the highly doubtful benefit. And New Zealand is an island nation which is next to exclusively accessed by plane travels. How should Europe manage this? And one error after New Zealand has re-opened the border (or will they turn their country into North Korea 2.0?), and they are back at square one. It could be illegal immigrants, sailors on a cargo ship with too few custom personell to check them all, rich people who by-pass the rules etc. pp. Corona is a SARS-strain, and we will never get rid of it. Up to 90% do not even notice the infection, while the virus itself is highly contagious. Herd immunity and vaccination programs for the vulnerable groups is imho the only feasible way in the long term. But the damage of the pointless lockdown are already huge and will cost more lives than the virus itself. No matter if Sweden, or US States like Florida vs. New York, there is no correlation between a lockdown and the numbers of deaths, and thus an actual benefits. If you are healthy, you are not threatened by this virus. It is the old and frail who are threatened by it for it is far more infectious than the flu or cold. So protect them and leave the rest in peace. And when you are above 50, you are also threatened by cancer and heart-related diseases, both are killing more than 600,000 people every year in the US. And one's diet, smoking, stress level, sleep pattern, general fitness, drug and alcohol consumption etc. pp. has a huge impact if one is threatened by cancer, diabetes, strokes, heart failure and Corona, or not. Why should I be denied of my freedoms and rights because some people are fat and lazy workaholics who gave a damn about their heath for entire decades?! These are personal decisions and responsibilities. Why should I bear the consequences ad infinitum?! You are driven by fear, and you aim for the impossible never mining the costs - including lives. As soon as everyone who wants a vaccination has gotten it, it has to go to normal, and everyone is responsible for his own health again. While I do share the view on some details like New Zealand's situation, from a general standpoint we'll have to agree to disagree on this. What is fair enough.

This virus will never go away. But as soon as all who want to get vaccinated are vaccinated, there is no reason to maintain a single measurement. While I don't pretend to be the only person who should make decisions or even holding the "truth", you think it would be better to go forth and live with the virus rather than try to eradicate it and live pretty much free from it like New Zealand? I don't believe that New Zealand, which paid a extreme high price, will stay free of the virus. And if so, then all was for nothing.
