[Grumbles in Belichick]

I posted the following yesterday; let’s see how I did!

I’m a Broncos fan, so it pains me to say that Belichick is an amazing coach. It’s impressive that he manages to win regardless of who he plays or who’s on his team.

I like how Iridium accused ESA of being a drama queen.

Any chance to dump on Musk is clickbait gold

This is so overblown. It was a 1/1000 chance even if they did nothing. Sat operators move to avoid collisions all the time. The “news” here is a routine communications breakdown, not that we almost had an accident in space.

It’s driver failure and even the feds say so.

Please stay off the roads, You ARE the problem.

I’ve said this over and over and over. Ultimately, the DRIVER IS RESPONSIBLE for controlling the vehicle. That’s the damn law.

“It’s also established that Autopilot was on and remained engaged despite the driver’s inattention, and it seems to be a case study in how semi-autonomous driver inattention while driving can go horribly wrong.”

Why are we shouting that Tesla “let” the driver do anything? Is the licensing process for operating these machines that meaningless now? As someone licensed for the privilege to drive cars on public roads (yes, it’s a privilege and should be regarded as such) everyone should be fully aware of their responsibilities…

Stupid people shouldn’t be allowed to buy cars. If they want a car, make them take a test...Woops, we do that already

In 2018, ESA had to perform 28 avoidance maneuvers, reports C|net, so this isn’t hugely out of the ordinary. That said, it is “very rare to miss an opportunity to make a story out of nothing when it involves Elon Musk”

as a Pats fan, the day we get our WYTS is always one of my favorite days of the season. I can’t wait!

Sean McVay in the week leading up to the Super Bowl decided to not have his team practice in the sound of screaming fans. He figured since the Super Bowl is a “corporate crowd” they won’t be loud cheering for either side. He really had no clue that his fan base is smaller than Trump’s hands and they do not travel.…

As a Chargers fan, that was especially galling. They had the wherewithal to come up with an innovative defensive scheme against a rookie QB who was known more for his running than passing, then tried to use the EXACT same scheme against an immobile QB who is one of the most accurate, efficient throwers in NFL history. 

Also just a huge indictment of how bad coaches are at adjusting, both in-game and (somehow) in preparation for a game. They all want to play the game on their terms, which basically means that a coach like Belichick knows exactly what you’re going to do.

The Chargers and Rams WYTS this year have just reminded me of how much other coaches just absolutely underthink when playing the Pats. How the fuck do you not try and mix it up against the most dominant sports franchise/coach of the past 20 years?

As a Lions fan I can take solace in the fact that we scored as many touchdowns in the Super Bowl as the Rams.
