    OT: Stationary cycling bikes.

    Same here. At my age and size, KOM's aren't attainable. I just subscribed to Strava to get the Live Segments on my bike GPS to give me some feedback against myself in real time. I've never tried Zwift; I subscribed to Rouvy last winter and it was "meh", but my indoor setup is pretty low end...

    John Fourcade

    I didn't want to click on this topic knowing this would be brought up. Unfortunately, I can still see that punk waving the ball around after he "scored" like he had done something. Never been nauseous leaving a game before or since.

    what was the jet that flew over at halftime?

    Don't forget the multi-national aspect of F-35 (politics, source of funds). Regarding "high" maintenance of F-22s. Keeping super stealth at peak performance in the field is very difficult. It's one of the reasons we have such an advantage over our potential adversaries. Performance of the...

    OT: T-45fixer

    Actually, it was determined the F-22 issue was caused by a faulty valve in the pilot's upper pressure garment. A ton of engineering expertise and budget was expended focused on the On Board Oxygen Generating System (OBOGS) and grounding of the fleet as BMT mentioned. Pentagon spokesperson...

    MUST READ(short): Article on why NCST fired Tom O'Brien. Sound familiar?

    Running off Russell Wilson didn't help, either. I seem to remember there was a lot of grumbling when O'brien gave the ultimatum to Wilson of no more minor league baseball. Mike Glennen was no slouch, but as we can watch now on Sundays and his success at Wisconsin, Wilson is a special talent.

    OT: F-22 Porn

    2 things... First, UAVs will likely take over much of the manned missions once they become autonomous enough to detect the proper targets and avoid threats adjusting on their own. The image of 12 year olds at a console with a monitor and joystick is not practical (communication with UAV can be...

    OT: F-22 Porn

    The entire airspace battlefield paradigm was rewritten... ...due to deployment of the F-22 and continues to be updated by the operational/tactics unit based at Nellis AFB. The Raptor's performance at low speeds and high speeds/supercruise are unmatched. Everyone ooh's and aah's about the...

    Question for the Old Timers- who the hell was coach Ron Green?

    My favorite team Actually, there were a few ticks of the clock left when Ray hit that shot off the left elbow. Joe B Hall kept calling TOs for what seemed like forever, but the Hump rocked the whole time. Ricky Brown has the smoothest jump shot I've ever seen for a big man. I've talked to...
