    Yes twice

    Once in the theoretical part

    Later just before setting off the trinity test they mentioned this to General Groves who was a bit taken aback

    Never heard a thing. Seemed straight arrow. Then again, ND is pretty strict or could be like you said.

    Cool. I remember reading about this ....maybe 30 years ago, and thinking.....they still went on with it. I don't know why ,but it gave me freaking goosebumps.

    It gave them goosebumps

    They even bounced the idea off of Albert Einstein who pretty much said yeah there’s a small chance you will blow up the world

    And then he said there is only one way to find out

    Theory will only take you so far

    Oppenheimer

    Go Steelers

    Claypool will improve this season. Not by a huge amount, not even enough to get Chicago to offer him a 2nd contact. But just enough to make him a viable depth option. He signs with the Steelers as a low tier free agent and goes on to become an elite receiver for Pgh.

    Ok, I know this is unrealistic, but if it actually happens I can come on this board and say I told y'all about Cosmo Claypool before ANYONE. Na na na na. Na na. Of course if it doesn't happen, noone will remember this prediction so I'll be off the hook. Bookmarking this thread so I can prove I made this claim should it actually happen.

    This should've been in green font but my phone is out of green ink.

    93.7 the Fan had a segment about Claypool today. He is only half heartedly running his patterns, quitting halfway before the play is over and refusing to block. He is 6'5" 235 and runs a 4.40 forty but he is totally wasting his career by being lazy.

    I wouldn't be surprised if Claypool isn't giving much effort as a way to get out of Chicago, he's not one of their top two receivers, and his QB Fields likes to run a lot.
