There are many variations of it. Certainly there was a major outmigration (or more than one) from Africa. There may have been one or more "remigrations" back to Africa (assuming that is the cradle of homo sapiens as a distinct species).

The more we learn about the "other" human species and how, ultimately, homo sapiens conquered all of them in turn, modern arguments about "wypipo" colonizing anything seems droll. Quaint, even.

If anything, homo sapiens moved into Europe in large numbers, assimilated/exterminated the neanderthal population, created a new, robust "hybrid" strain (very light, mind you, ~2%, slightly higher in East Asia, but that's a discussion for another time), and this hybrid, African-originated homo sapiens hybrid went on to conquer the known world, ultimately.

"Hey, you can't colonize us after we colonized you! No fair!"

The modern (post 2019) era of football is vastly different in nearly every way. There is no more player development.

You're going to get most reps out of about 45 kids, including special teams. You will have another tier of about a dozen or so who will provide some meaningful situational reps (the pure specialists, mainly, including return men).

And the rest you're either overpaying for, are injured or will transfer. Every team will be a radically new roster with a few core holdovers from the previous year. That's reality. That's the situation on the ground. If we do not have the best coaching staff for that reality in 2026, I would be highly shocked.

But everyone will adapt to it. You have to be good, rich and/or lucky to succeed and hopefully we're all 3 "enough" to get to the playoffs in 2026.

I would 100% get that rifle's headspace checked with a go/no gauge before firing anything else out of it.

Guns are engineered to hold up fairly well against abuse until something fails. The Browning BAR is a heavy beast.

It makes it so extremely dated. Just think how inexplicably strange, foreign and out of date it reads even now and then extend that 20, 40 years.

Sad that such talent was lost to heroin.
