Yeah it's Mora. 0-6 in 11 years with Saints and 4 years with Colts.

We should've gotten this off of the meme reference.

Fisher was the coach for the Music City Miracle, I believe.

Well I knew he had won playoff games but thought maybe a stretch like Tomlin has now.

What are the only two countries in the world that are double landlocked?

(Meaning you have to travel through two different countries to get to an ocean.)

Actually, this must disqualify seas, because a bunch of Eastern Europe is double land locked from oceans, but not seas

Well the Mediterranean is technically the ocean but yeah to be clear I’m talking about any navigability to a port.

Kosovo and liechtenstein

Liechtenstein is one, yes.

Aren’t seas functionally part of the global ocean? Like the Black Sea is a sea by name, but a ship can leave port from Sevastopol and drop cargo in Long Beach without ever going through canals. If we’re talking about lakes which aren’t immediately connected to the global ocean like the Caspian Sea, then sure. But not seas.

Post by **brian** » Wed Jan 22, 2025 9:06 pm

Yeah inland seas like the Caspian are landlocked but not the Black, Mediterranean, Andaman etc.

Here is the top 10 list in NFL history for yards lost on sacks:

I was thinking somebody who scrambled around a lot.

I feel like Peyton was too good at going through his reads and getting rid of the ball when shit went south. Maybe I'm way off.

It now seems to me that Peyton is probably too easy a guess and therefore, wrong.

L-Jam3 · Post by **L-Jam3** » Wed Feb 05, 2025 12:40 pm

Tarkenton? It seemed like at one point he had all the counting records.

Ryan · Post by **Ryan** » Wed Feb 05, 2025 12:41 pm

Sam Howell

Nope, in fact that is exactly how to think about this one

He's probably halfway there after last season

EDIT: To overtake Tarkenton, Sam Howell would need to have 11 more seasons like 2023. Jeez

What are the three states whose tallest occupied building is higher in elevation than the highest point on “land”?

govmentchedda · Post by **govmentchedda** » Sat Feb 08, 2025 1:59 pm

Florida for sure.

Nebraska? Kansas?

DSafetyGuy · Post by **DSafetyGuy** » Sat Feb 08, 2025 2:02 pm

govmentchedda · Post by **govmentchedda** » Sat Feb 08, 2025 2:06 pm

Googled and the actual other two make sense.

Post by **brian** » Sat Feb 08, 2025 3:51 pm

Florida yes.

Other two not been answered yet.

L-Jam3 · Post by **L-Jam3** » Sat Feb 08, 2025 4:06 pm

Thinking states with a coastline but no real mountains. Siuth Carolina and Louisiana.

Nebraska can't be I don't think. I drove by something called Scotts Bluff that was pretty massive. I was really surprised by that state, actually, as it abuts parts of the Badlands and other really non-Plain State geography I just wasn't aware of prior to that trip out to Mt. Rushmore.

Nonlinear FC · Post by **Nonlinear FC** » Sat Feb 08, 2025 4:24 pm

Having driven through both ends.. I'm guessing Illinois. I can't think of a place with any real elevation in that state.

I also agree with Delaware, I can't think of any elevation in that joint.

Florida is 100 percent the flattest state.

The correct answers (according to my Googling) have all been posted. I'll let brian confirm.

SC definitely has big foothills, if not mountains.

Post by **brian** » Sat Feb 08, 2025 5:15 pm

Louisiana and Illinois are the other two.
