@PaulCharchian @MrZMovies I loved it-fantastic show..but we should all agree they should not have a third season.

@DMRussini Can you talk about what you know about JJs health?

You kind of alluded to him not being on track for starting week 1 from what you heard at the combine

[Josh Carlson @JoshCarlson2]

@PaulCharchian if a qb doesn’t fall to us why not draft Harrison Jr. and roll with your boy Kirkie again? It sounds crazy but why not build a fantasy offense for the ages. We’d be the best offense in NFL#dontreachforaqb

[Josh Carlson @JoshCarlson2]

@jzulgad @SKORNorth crazy thought!Don’t draft qb of the future. Keep Cousins and draft Harrison Jr and let’s be the best offense anyone has seen in 20 years. Those qbs won’t be where we are picking in the draft anyways.#dontreachforaqb

Pale Blue Dot is a photo of Earth that was taken by the Voyager 1 space probe in 1990 from a distance of about 6 billion kilometers (3.7 billion miles) as it was leaving our solar system. This is what Carl Sagan said about the photo:

"Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it, everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor, and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every 'superstar,' every 'supreme leader,' every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there — on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand. It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.”

Taylor Swift is going to watch the Chicago Bears and New York Jets in back-to-back weeks. Man, she must really like Travis Kelce.

@TomHolland1996 I’m a teacher in a middle school. Students were supposed to put what other students they would want to sit at lunch. He said Tom Holland and Mr Carlson-any chance you wanna come sit for a school lunch Aberdeen SD?

@ProFootballTalk Florio your a Vikings fan. What would do you want the Vikings to do/what’s the smart play here?

I hate to break this to you SportsCenter but Coco Gauff was not “soaking it all in” at this moment. She was praying. She has been very open about her Christian faith in the past. It seems pretty obvious what she is doing here.

Your feelings come from where you find your hope. Where is your happiness and your significance?

It’s not a problem. I can stop whenever I want! #SKOL

True gospel humility means I stop connecting every experience and every conversation with myself. I stop thinking about myself altogether.

Vasily Arkhipov (1926 - 1998), a Soviet Navy officer, was the sole dissenting vote against launching a nuclear torpedo from a B-59 submarine after the U.S. deployed depth charges during the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962.

Having lost contact with Moscow for several days, the Soviet crew was uncertain whether World War 3 had already begun. The captain, believing that war had erupted above water, was intent on firing the nuclear torpedo. The situation was further complicated as the submarine's batteries were nearing depletion, causing air conditioning failure and elevating the temperature to above 113°F (45°C).

The mounting heat, coupled with carbon dioxide poisoning and dwindling oxygen levels, began to cause crew members to faint and adversely affected their decision-making capabilities. According to the established protocol, the launch of a nuclear weapon required the consent of only the captain and the political officer present on the submarine. However, by a fortunate turn of events, Arkhipov, a flotilla commander, had opted to be on that ill-fated B-59 submarine.

It was an unusual choice, as flotilla commanders were rarely onboard nuclear submarines, yet their rank was high enough to alter the standard two-person voting procedure to involve three people.

Engaging in heated debates with the two senior officers, Arkhipov successfully persuaded them to surface and reestablish contact with Moscow. His steadfastness and crucial decision-making skillfully averted a potential nuclear conflict, saving the world in the process.

So much of our frustration and discouragement comes from searching horizontally for what has already been provided vertically.

If you need something in addition to God to make you happy, that is your true King.
