Let's also remember that not all NFL players come into the league with fresh noggins; most football players will play a vast majority of games BEFORE reaching the NFL, and it's a real small minority of players that actually last more than 4-5 years in the league. The biggest, and most immediate, changes need to be…

Those teams you listed have the benefit of recent success and/or residing in the largest markets in the NFL. The Seahawks play in a mid-sized market, where a large percentage of the population grew up in other parts of the country, and there have been only a few spurts of actual success on the field. And it's not like…

I'd rather the Seahawks face the Jaguars in the big game, run up a 28-0 lead in the first few minutes (when everyone is still stuffing their face and not paying close attention) and just run out the clock for the last 3 quarters.

The only people who say that the Seahawk fans aren't passionate are the ones who have NEVER been to the stadium currently referred to as Century Link Field. Are constant sellouts not enough, even though this team hasn't won more than 7 games in five years? I guess it's a good sign for the team that you have to…

Clever messiah....

If the play pro hockey in Miami, they'll play it in Seattle. Eventually.

The Mariners were ROUTINELY getting over 3 million fans a year when they were playoff contenders, so many years ago. If anything the population has GROWN in Seattle since 2001, so it should be no surprise to anyone with half a brain that the M's sagging attendance has everything to do with the product on the field.

Because space exploration doesn't just benefit the United States or Russia or China, it benefits EVERYONE. And if the benefits are global, then, really, everyone should chip their fair amount to get a global space program up and running. And if we start pooling our resources maybe we can finally come up with viable…

I love this idea because it'll be a lot easier to make, without wasting tons of money on fancy special effects, and an animated film/series doesn't really have to worry about canon, and what happens in the Abrams movies. It can be in its own universe, like the Batman and Justice League cartoons, and tell its own…

Exactly. Paramount still holds the copyright for Star Trek and all of its characters, and if they totally pussed out on something awesome like a USS Enterprise in the middle of Vegas — even when they had no financial obligation whatsoever — they'll totally puss out on this. Especially because it wasn't their idea to…

Before we start thinking about building huge ships in space, we need to get serious about building a mag-lev space tether. It's just too expensive to keep blasting components into space with rockets, especially for the thousands of tons of materials needed to build something like this.

I believe that, in the next 50 years or so, cities will essentially destroy a large swarth of suburban land — areas outside the dense commercial zones we cal "Downtown" — and convert it into farm land and reforestation. Once we run out of gasoline (or, hopefully, enough time before we run out to avoid major…
