This is all a government cover up. I blame Trump. These republicans just won’t stop. Damn them. This would not happen if Obama was in office. 😁😁😁😁

I have to say that I’m really impressed with what the Rams have done in free agency so far. I hope they get this center signed. But they are set up pretty well for the draft if they can get that done.

My only concern about the offensive line is the right side. I’m not sure about Havenstein at guard and Robinson at RT. I’m not sure that shouldn’t be reversed, but we’ll see. I’m sure they’ll sort that out during pre-season.

We have camp and preseason. I believe things could change.

I’m not saying this is the main impetus behind this signing but according to Bonsignore, McVay puts a premium on players that have good character. It’s something they’ll be looking for in every player they consider acquiring.

Sounds a lot like Case Keenum.

Even then that would make Pence the president. That’s not much better. Unless Pence is implicated. If so that would make Paul Ryan the next in line, and he is unlikely to be implicated in this.

Eventually, somehow it will get to me as President. But I believe you are ahead of me on that list, if correct, unless you bypass it or something, then it goes to WV, then Zooey, then me or some wackey order. But eventually the President will get to me.

There is this creature in Papua New Guinea called the Ropen, that supposedly looks a lot like a Pteradactal, a prehistoric flying creature.

Jack, the Ropen is just legend, like the loch ness monster or the yeti.

This just in: Pterosaurs are STILL dead, maybe even more so

Dr. Donald Prothero exposes the myth of the ropen, a pterosaur-like flying animal claimed to have been observed in Papua New Guinea. It has even been suggested it is a self-luminous creature. It’s a story well-known to cryptozoologists (the same stories get recirculated repeatedly to make up for no new evidence to fill a book). Turns out, as in many cryptid tales, it falls apart when you dig into it. And thanks to one crank’s ridiculous Creationist ideas, and his spreading around the same story under pseudonyms, people actually believe this stuff.

Fake Pterosaurs and Sock Puppets

Virtually all discussion of the ropen comes from a single individual, Jonathan Whitcomb!

Whitcomb admitted the deception in July, 2014. The book Searching for Ropens? Self-published by Whitcomb [sic]. Ropens.com is run by Whitcomb, as is LivePterosaur.com. Modern Pterosaur.com is supposedly written by someone named Norman Hungtingdon. “Who is he? It’s me, Jonathan David Whitcomb,” he admitted. The site Dinosaurs and Pterosaurs Alive.com by Nathaniel Coleman? “That’s also me, and I’m still Jonathan David Whitcomb.” Several sites are maintained by Whitcomb under aliases. In short, it’s a classic case of a typically modern internet phenomenon, sock puppetry, where one individual floods the internet with material using different aliases and email accounts to escape detection (and spam filters). Eventually, it was spread so widely that two paranormal pseudo-documentaries were produced, Destination Truth (on SyFy) and Monster Quest (on the History Channel), all unwittingly based on the obsessions of one individual. Whitcomb admits to his rampant sock puppetry, and doesn’t seem ashamed of the deception…

I’d guess Creationists are nice people but their tactics for deliberately deceiving people to undermine science are seriously deplorable.

Whitcomb, who is not a scientist by any stretch but a Certified Court Videographer, believes the ropen is a Rhamphorhynchoid pterosaur based on the stories he’s collected. He has done the most to promote the reality of the ropen, self publishing two books on the topic including one that many science-lacking crypto-enthusiasts might see as “authoritative” Searching for the Ropen as well as Live Pterosaurs in America. Obviously, ropens.com, complete with citations to books of the Bible, would be seen by those who want to know more about the creature they heard about inTime’s Top 10 Famous Mystery monsters

The truth is, nothing biologically resembles a ropen in real life. There are no existing pterosaurs – they absolutely went extinct tens of millions of years ago. There is no evidence for bioluminosity in birds, reptiles, or mammals (with the possible question about barn owls but not confirmed). And reports of pterosaurs (or ropens) have never been verified. As noted in this article, frigate birds in flight may resemble what we think a flying pterosaur looked like.

Prothero notes that Wikipedia deleted its Ropen page since all cited sources are “seemingly from the personal websites of the author of the vanity press Searching for Ropens and Finding God book”. The word “crank” was lavishly used which was appropriate (an eccentric person, especially one who is obsessed by a particular subject or theory). There is no evidence for the ropen, just legend.

Shoddy scholarship, belief-based conclusions, terrible quality evidence, and propagation of errors is rampant in cryptozoology literature which makes the field deserving of the scientific scorn it gets.

How about the 5 foot spiders roming around the jungles of Congo? Deep in the jungles though.

I got a call from someone that said they were Jared Goff and asked if I could help with his throwing motion. I said OK. We are going to start working right between the OTAs, and training camp. Thought I could do my help.

What is winning so far is the one stripe on the pants and the white facemask on the helmet. I saw it on twitter.

Now he basically is talking about what Obama wanted for Obamacare. As I mentioned, why not keep Onamacare, and amend stuff on it to make it better, which sounds like what Trump and the republicans should be doing. What is sad is you are repealing Onamacare and amending it, and calling it Trumpcare.

You missed a lot. You missed the discussion on if Bigfoot is an ET, the President of Iceland is considering banning pineapple on pizza, the best picture flub at the academy awards, then there is fight going on, between RemyMa and Nicki Minaj. Who’s side are you on? Nicki Minaj was posting tweets on Saturday calling RemyMa a hoe and such, while, later, RemyMa while performing on stage, she was multi-tasking, was tweeting to her, and doing a diss song as well. She was performing in my city. I had to miss the concert, do to I was in the hospital. It was a kidney stone.

We almost forgot about we talked bringing back the Whole Rhinos. And Pteradactals live in Papua New Guinea. McVey is on the hot seat. 😂😂😂 Just a rumor.

I like Dez Lawerence with our first 4th rounder. Good size CB. Also, I believe we can sign Dre Kirkpatrick. Give him a 4 year $24 million $12 million guarantee, and he’ll come in and say how much he wanted to be a Ram. Money changes things.

As long as it is not our guys. We need it to be from the oppositions. We need our defenders to stay healthy. Just saying.

It still would have been cool though, if it was possible. A T-Rex running down my street. The drug addicts would not know what to think.

There are rumors pteradactals are still alive. Supposedly in Papua New Guinea, they have talked about these flying creatures. Even in the jungles of Congo. The same place that says giant spiders dwell. Of course, most of the jungle of Congo has never been checked, so who knows what is in there. I wouldn’t want to see a 5 ft. Spider if one existed.
