I first encountered management improvement in 1964. It was the zero-defect program that was intended to enliven management to intentionally prevent errors by doing things right the first time. Even as an inexperienced industrial engineer, I found that strange. Had management actually been allowing defects? Apparently I was not the only one. Another asked about the purpose of the program's intensive records-keeping requirement. The most unsatisfying and almost insulting answer was that it was the way the program would be justified. I asked whatever efforts were underway to make the benefits of the program available to the design community, minimizing design errors. Again, it seemed that those promoting the program were only interested in justifying the program by application to production. The only actions I ever saw concerning this program were those of intensive records-keeping. Another young engineer in our office handled quality control inspection process. I did not see where his office was even involved in this program. It appeared to be limited to its own program management and administration. To understand why this program was initiated, there must be some historical perspective. It was a long-term result of our basic business environment and how it was exported to other nations following World War II. The industrial foundation of both Germany and Japan had been destroyed, as had many other nations. The United States, being the people we are, had stepped in to help them get back on their own feet as self-sustaining nations. We exported our business model, how we did things. As noted earlier, those nations were not only accepting of the United States industry and what it had been doing, and also looked to other business knowledge sources, such as quality-driven messages from Dr. Deming mentioned in our earlier presentations. Higher quality industrial product imports grew rapidly. Quality cameras and timepieces were actually eating into our domestic markets. We were being outproduced and domestic products were losing in favor with our customers. Business leaders felt compelled to act. It was casting American business acumen in a very bad light. Our business model, the privileged leadership running things with workers in a separate production effort, was not competing well with the newer systems being developed in Germany and Japan and other rebuilt economies. The challenge was even being felt in government. They too were faced with the challenge of being customers. Were the military leaders to buy domestic materials that politically supported American industry or less expensive imports? They were spending public money. Leadership in government did its best to support privileged leaders in our industry. But not so much as to interfere with citizens' private decisions. They instituted a bi-American policy. This was an unofficial directive to accept where it did not threaten some sort of backlash from citizens, the American products in place of any foreign ones. The problem was government employees who insisted that the policy was the right way to do things and started complaining of Swiss chocolate being offered in the vending machines and food products that got sold to military members in their post-exchange stores. The policy died a quiet death and was soon simply ignored. Customer decisions, the real economic power source, was putting the squeeze on domestic business to do something. Management improvement was the obvious answer. It was relief for the management challenges. Even the name was obviously selected for the purpose of selling the idea that these were addressing the needs that were highlighted by important products in local stores. It was the privileged-based answer to the real problems of the cost of management rising in American industry. It was running things in terms of improving what management was doing. But by then, American business leadership had 50 years of experience with efficiency and production, and every time they tried to interfere, production dropped. And so their new direction was administrative and did little to interfere with that part of American business model that was doing well. It was largely cosmetic, but that cosmetic improvement was good administration. It was how the leadership was improving management. The very concept of the program was built on justifying the efforts in terms of what could be demonstrated as the success of business leadership. I may not have been seeing the differences, but the program was declared to be a wonderful success. The records that had been kept documented the improvements gained. If there were improvements, in fact, I was not in any position to see them. I was working as an efficiency engineer, and there were no production changes in either what was being done or how it was being done from the application of this program. We already had quality control programs, and it was designed to balance quality and quantity of production for the best results in terms of the output from the production effort. That early application of management improvement was otherwise relatively innocent. He used local assets by reassignment to the program effort, and the only major additional expense was program training, learning what to do to properly document the benefits being realized. I did not learn of any cost reduction in management from the application of that program, and there was none in production at all. Everything seemed to continue much as it had before the program was initiated. It was declared to be a successful program, and then allowed to slip into the past. I was not in any position to see what impacts this program had in private industry, but assumed that it had to be more effective there than what I saw. Soon it was the lean program. This was an intensive look at management systems to find inexpensive ways to fix management programs that were burdensome, inhibiting, or otherwise challenging to those who had to apply them. It is hard to find any better statement of the difference between administration and performance than this program. It is those who are running things, attempting to make things better for the people they hired to do management and support efforts. First, it involved an efficiency expertise that was not common to management system employees. They had to be hired from outside the business, and the employees needed training to take effective part in the effort. Administration hired other people to do the job of those they had originally hired to do the job. Again, the focus was to improve things, but had no performance goals that would increase the value the organization produced or reduce what it cost. They actually added some costs. Needless to say, the program was declared a success. It met or exceeded the management goals that were set for it. Then it was reorganization as a program, looking at how the management effort was arranged. It looked at the quality of missioning to assure that goals and objectives could support the individual parts of the business working together. And there was clarity, consistency in the application of management systems. There appeared to be some companies that were spared pending failure by radical reorganization, reducing the cost of management by releasing a significant number of management employees as part of the action. I was a senior industrial engineer when I again was involved in management improvement. It was several iterations later with the latest program being a combination of Lean and the Six Sigma, a follow-on to the old zero defects program from the 1960s. This program had been codified to the extent that there were recognized levels of expertise that were declared appropriate for various program activities, headed by a black belt generalist in the operation of the program. As a senior efficiency engineer, I was not terribly impressed. I received what they addressed as yellow belt training for a relatively low-level involvement. My first effort was to look at the program's operating process, what the program was to do. The obvious challenge was that it did not cost itself. It rather used extensive operations as a program cost. It only looked at what was a cost before and after application. That was strange as part of the program was permanent increase in employment for ongoing operation of the expertise in the improved organization. It did have a cogent and consistent program process for improving management activities. My early effort was to apply this process to its own improvement process. By its own criteria, the program improvement process was in serious need of improvement. I did publish an article on this, but there was little that came of it. The military organization I was working for quietly hopped it out of the program as it was being urged by higher headquarters. We do have a few basic management improvement themes. These are repeated on the program level. The program names change, but the principles remain the same. They are generally applied in iteration by name change and increasing the intensity of application. We have been doing things right the first time and it is pretty much limited to management and does not seem to have much effect on organizational performance. I still find it difficult to address this program's accomplishments. Just what were our management people doing wrong that they are no longer going to be doing wrong? The very concept addresses incompetence in either subordinate managers who are hired into position or incompetence in senior leaders who hired people who are not working properly. Which hand should I use to slap them? We have the lean effort that improves management processes, simplifying them and removing barriers to people who are trying to get things done. Just where do these barriers and unworkable management systems come from? Are these lean efforts just doing a competent job of setting up programs to run the business? The primary reason that senior leaders claim for their employment? Reorganization is not really a change in what is being done. So much is changing who is responsible to who for doing what it does. It has had positive effect when it shakes excess management people out of their jobs. But that was the exception. And this does not even address the deeper problem for American business leadership. All these management improvement efforts address improving what senior management is responsible to do, but has apparently been unwilling to or unable to do on its own. All of these programs hire people from outside the organization to do the improvements, begging the challenge to what senior leadership has been doing. Is it that effectively operating management is not any priority to these leaders? Are they simply unable to do the basic management functions that are the natural responsibilities of those in authority? Are they effectively incompetent or otherwise unable to do management? And then with Lean Six Sigma, the process leads to hiring new LSS specialists to supplement the managers who you have just disempowered to do the jobs by giving some of their duties to the new specialists. In this environment, measuring management by how much it costs to gain performance through those who do performance is not so much a tool as an active rebuke. The cost of management continues to creep up. If anything, these programs spur growth and organizational costs without beneficial effect on what the organization accomplishes. But there is an even greater challenge, and it is in vision. If application of any of these techniques had actually worked and actually changed management for the better, the reason for the application would have been satisfied. Repetition of the program just indicates its earlier failure. I can address this presentation as a source of value for the student. It is not that the programs do or do not work, but that there is consistency in the administrative handling of improvement efforts. It yields a reasonable certainty in how privileged leaders will react to actions initiated by others. The principle is for managers to do the right things and do them correctly. For application, if a leader is doing the right things in his or her understanding and that is not working, the process is to do the same right thing with greater force and intensity until it does work. Declaring the effort to be a success does not change reality, nor does it address the matter of how much intensity and effort should be committed to the effort. The study of performance is, at heart, a study of how we got things done in the past. It is learning what worked for us and what did not, so that we can be the ones who get things done in the future. We have two upfront and challenging examples of a general success in performance. The first is family, a common human experience. We all have in becoming who we are. Families are remarkably effective at assuring things do get done. The second was the establishment of performance management in the early 1900s. The increase in what people could get done by the introduction of intentional performance orientation was thrilling in its own quiet way. There is an obvious reason for the close and repetitive review of this later development, as it was the basic codification of our knowledge of performance to establish a body of performance knowledge. The first application was elimination of unproductive effort, the use of human time, skill, and effort that did not contribute to achieving the valued result. It seems such a simple thing, but the results were startling. Workers were suddenly getting twice as much done and were putting before less of their time and effort to gain that result. The second application was to measure what a worker could reasonably accomplish. It was the initiation and performance standards. It was satisfying that all important management requirement for something to gain through the efforts of those who were performing. It provided a whole new concept for planning human work. The contrast is in the management concept that came with applying master and servant legal concepts to employment. Leadership accepted this as buying the time and effort of workers for direction to work efforts. Under this concept, the greater the effort of the worker, the better they were as employees. The worker who slacked off was to be replaced with someone who would work harder for his pay. The worker who went home exhausted was valued by leadership. The new performance manager with the industrial engineers technical support challenged the legal understanding by having workers ease off on work, even as they generated a lot more productive output. When management tried to use the new performance standards to demand even more from hours they had paid for, it ran into resistance from these new managers. Tired workers did sloppy work or made outright errors that required re-work. The new and remarkably more effective managers did not support leadership in this, but teamed with the hired help. Business leadership tried to support these managers as best it could. It authorized them to issue assignments and collect results on behalf of the business. It empowered them to reward or punish workers who excelled or slacked off. It provided a competent set of support services that could be used to make them even more a part of the larger corporate effort. The more management tried to get involved, even in support, the less it received in response. Every attempt to take active roles in production under a foreman seemed to lower what the workers were able to do. It was like these workers no longer worked for them, but had their own purposes directed to productive results. They resisted corporate goals and objectives and seemed totally fixed on what they could accomplish. They honored the work standards that production management generated. The answer was isolation. It was recognizing and honoring a barrier between leadership and performance. It was quarantining the brash and unruly production area workers in their own little world. Corporate management acted to harvest the benefit of the foreman-based work efforts, but kept it bottled up. It was not really part of running the organization. Management still considered its duty to support the productive efforts as it could, and sought management efforts that would improve production. It became normal for a business to put its stamp on productive efforts by making improvements to their work processes. Then along came Dr. Deming, insisting that their improvement efforts were actually damaging performance. He taught that letting a working approach continue to produce without interference would have beneficial results in terms of performance. Dr. Deming's approach was not given effect until it was received by the ruined industries following World War II. The result was foreign competition for American business management, and changes were forced. Now in this course, we are addressing the performance of management. The operation of management and support systems of modern organizations is still under that boss mode, with leaders setting work requirements and receiving the results from assigned management and support efforts. With our performance orientation, we are the ones who are called to question this arrangement, noting that the size, cost, and complexity of management has continued to grow under this theory. While the production area has remained in the cost-effective performance orientation. We are the ones who are learning to see the waste and the new potentials for performance of management in terms of taking part in the larger operation of the business. With what we are studying here, senior business leadership is going to face the same challenges it did in the production area. This time it will be remarkably greater organizational performance from teaming management and support with the production effort that earns business income. It is a whole new area of business performance application. This time it will be even greater challenge to stay separate from that performance effort. It will be the senior leadership that will be isolated and quarantined from the rest of the organization. It is senior leadership that will be given the choice of joining with organizational performance or being seen as a source of waste. We are addressing the very challenging time for leadership and the reaction of those who deal in privilege is not going to help them do intelligent choices. Their constraints will be in their loss of privilege if they go up against the very organizations they are hired to lead. We are not addressing some gentle and unassuming change. Before any of you decide to take action on improving management or setting up a business in competition with those who have privilege foundation in their management, you must consider the cost associated with competitive hostility. Privileged leaders always resist change and they have proven fairly effective in doing so. The benefit you generate by your action, teamed with the actions of others, will have to be sufficient to overcome this cost. You may well find support among business owners and investors who will also so value the result that they will join in the effort. Next, we need to see the same basic understandings from the viewpoint of the worker. It is key to remember that Frederick Taylor was threatened by his own people when he started to act based on his developing scientific management principles. There is a lesson here that is consistent with early English feudal history and the signing of the Magna Carta that upset the basic structure of a feudal monarchy. It was not the peasants who revolted against the king. It was the barons whose privilege was threatened by the king. Things do work in a privilege based system. That is not the basis for change. We are addressing massive empowerment of workers through increasing what people get done. It is not going to be easily accepted even by those who benefit most from it. In addressing changes in management and the way it brings people together, there is going to be a resistance to even real improvements. This resistance has, if anything, been enhanced by management improvement programs that do not seem to improve much of anything for the management workers. We are looking at the potential to have management and support systems replaced with duties to support organizational performance. It challenges the comfortable position of a stated job with a process to be completed. It replaces this with a duty to seek out and satisfy the support needs of internal customers. It is like the change from being pushed for every bit of effort a worker can give to taking breaks in work to refresh oneself for the next effort. Even that was resisted. We also have knowledge of what people will value, what these management workers will have to replace it if they are to support and or promote the changes. It is that universal human value of trust relations, of being the one who is trusted to do something that is valued by others. It is being part of the team whose effort assures the income of the business that keeps people employed. It is having a support effort appreciated by those who receive it. I would introduce another principle here in support of your empowerment. It is the importance of communication. People who do not see the benefit of what you seek are not going to join in the effort. Our first reaction to redirection, our human reaction, is resistance. Enlisting others, empowering them, is going to require communication of cost and benefit to such effect that they will support or even take part in the effort that promises change. This is where tools such as the black box and simple visualization of value cycles can serve you in your efforts. A vision as to improvements in organizational management can include the challenge of our existing management improvement programs. Our first challenge is the leader belief that using its internal support is required just because you can employ people to work doesn't mean that they join your team. The challenge includes that only people who work in supply can buy things for the organization. The only people who can automate your management information are those in the corporate office. A competent support person will work to assure that you want to use their services. But that is not a given. That requires a level of trust that is beyond employment. And then we have our management improvement programs. And we ask what effect they have on the relationship that makes our internal support efforts valuable to their internal customers. Programs like LEAN simplify these support systems. Keeping them focused on doing what serves the larger organization. Programs like Six Sigma may add consistency to what these support efforts do. The challenge is that these do not address their performance. These affect changes in their assigned responsibility. And service to others remains at best little affected by what they do to accomplish it. Again, it is people who team, not the systems. Our general observation is one of the continuing growth in the size and cost of management, which is not even addressed to what it accomplishes. Where the value is, as we have learned, determined by the needs and wants of those who receive and those who have not changed. The growth in size and complexity does not generate value for the organization. There is potential for the ones who promote change, to enlist these management system employees to support changes. It is an increase in ability to focus on delivery of value to others. Lessening that insistence that support work has been assigned in terms of using a support system. Our challenge has always been learning from the past. Being human, we tend to repeat anything that we believe will work. And have a remarkable capacity to believe things, to trust in other people. Science has been an application to get beyond the limits of this capacity, and what it would put on us. It is the organization of knowledge so that we can sort out what beliefs are simply accepted on faith. The application of this work is generally one of seeing what has been accomplished as valuable results in the past and separating these out as a science of human performance. It yields knowledge based on the repeatability of reality. In the case of our ongoing management improvement efforts, such as eliminating errors and simplifying process. We have that most uncomfortable witness to there being declared to be a success, and then being repeated. With the tools we have developed here, if any of these had worked in the past, we would see a measurable improvement in the operation of management. If we cannot see that measurable improvement, then it has not really been accomplished. Claiming improvement, while the general cost of management continues to rise, puts these programs firmly into the category of belief. If they fail to improve management, attempting to try them harder and more intensely is unlikely to improve management in the future applications. That is the nature of reality. From the engineering approach, we have a few general rules that can be applied to effect. We know, for example, that there have been some success stories and applications of radical reorganization. This tells us that the problem that these organizations suffered was a matter of a lack of intelligent organization. For the rest, it is not easy to address any successes except for the operation of the programs. The valued result of gaining through the efforts of those who are managed has not been a result. The observation is that these efforts are not focused on gaining improvement. They are attempts to solve the wrong problem. From our basic management studies, we are able to identify the changes in more definitive terms. We need to address either an increase in the productive output that gets sold to customers or a decrease in what it costs to operate the organization while it continues to provide its products. This is our black box model that defines improvement. If some effort ends up costing more without corresponding increase in earning ability, it is not an in fact improvement. The challenge we face as people who are able to see this is not one of the performance at all. It is a problem of people in positions of privilege over what they own who do not accept that they have to act for our benefit. It has ripened in our business environment into a firmly held leader belief that what they are doing is for our benefit, even though we never see any benefit from what they do. Our true potential is in discovering our corporate potency, that people are the only party in interest. Leadership can be directed to actions that serve our interest. And we do not have to accept their benevolent leadership in place of our own choices. We, the people of the United States, are the in fact owners of this nation. We own its government. We own its economy. We own its legal system. We own its industries. There is no other party in interest. If there is a challenge, it is our own learned and enforced belief that someone else is separately entitled or empowered to represent us to the point where we have to accept it. This just highlights two personal challenges that each of us has to face in becoming effectively empowered. The first is that we are dealing in an area of human belief rather than what is real. We, and that would be all of us, are human. And it is on our nature to trust another person to do things. The other is that we, and that is all of us, are the ultimate source of both political and economic power and authority in our nation. What we are able to decide as a people becomes what our leaders are to do for us. It is where they gain our real support instead of having access to our resources with the illusion that they will do what they feel is best for us. Beyond that, we are also addressing the management of government, not just of industry or individual businesses. Our concentration of business organizations is a matter more of convenience than necessity. It was where the challenge to performance in terms of output was most visible, where the value could be reduced to simple measures of cost and benefit. With this, we already have one foot in the following section of the course. We will be more directly addressing unstructured gatherings of people. I start by noting that the United States as a nation is not a structured gathering of people, even though it was the obvious intent of those who wrote our initiating documents. There is no accepted purpose by modern government leaders beyond running the nation. Humanity is not a structured gathering of people for any specific purpose. In this study, we will be looking at the potential for unstructured gatherings to come to focus and directing the operation of our economy, our nation, and even humanity as a whole. What you will come to see is that you are not alone in this, but only talk to believe that you are somehow isolated and opposed by others. What this course has to offer you next is that empowerment is a choice. It is a capacity of humanity that you may choose to accept or to replace with the personal potency that is available to individuals. Even seeing where you have that choice is true empowerment.


1991 that's the last time the Detroit Lions won a playoff game zero BC That's the last time the Detroit Lions went to the Super Bowl. They've never been in the Super Bowl now Lions fans right now are Rejoicing it looks like we're headed to the playoffs in real life, but don't forget the decades of pain We haven't do word to get here I'm gonna be taking over as GM of the Detroit Lions for the next 10 years And we'll see just how many Super Bowl rings we can bring to Detroit Let's take a look at the good and the bad number one on offense a lot to be excited about one of the best young wide receivers in Football the Sun God Amon Ross St. Brown 23 years old. He's a 90 overall superstar He might even be a 99 overall at the end of year one definitely gonna get X factor But this might be one of the first rebuilds I've ever done where I'm genuinely concerned about salary cap The biggest question mark on this team is Jared Goff. I like Jared Goff He's a great quarterback and he's a great quarterback in Madden, but he's 28 years old This is a 10 year rebuild. I don't think 38 year old Jared Goff will be suiting up So at some point here, we are gonna have to move on from Jared Goff David Montgomery and Jameer Gibbs This just doesn't make sense to me. We drafted Jameer Gibbs, but we signed David Montgomery to a three-year 20 million something like that I want to use one running back and honestly anybody can be his backup Craig Reynolds comes in and honestly does halfway decent He's a 68 overall, but I'm not on the duo running back train I have a feeling I'll be trading away David Montgomery trying to get some capital out of him keep in mind I like to use strong draft classes for every single position. I think it makes the game a way more fun One thing to know about Detroit is they love their tight ends. We have burnt a lot of draft capital over the years on tight ends 76 overall 22 year old you know, he's gonna get so much better and he's fast 86 speed 88 excel all those route runnings Everything else that can get improved I like the port a lot tackles are already really really expensive in the national football league There's a very highly paid position and he's an 88 overall and he's a superstar.  We got Ragnar who's a 90 and star John and Jackson's a 77 He's only 26 years old this offensive line is great to honestly I like Decker and then Graham Glasgow is the only guy that could eventually be upgraded He's getting older too. So we'll look to draft the right guard in this upcoming draft Probably not with my first round pick but potentially a second then he switched over to defense one of the most important positions I think in the NFL and in Madden franchises is corners all of my Super Bowl teams always have a nasty corner We have none. I do like Kirby Joseph and then here's the thing. They've got Brian Branch not starting He's kind of like plays nickel. I'm gonna switch this up. I do like Kirby Joseph. He's really young and he's star I'm gonna move Kirby Joseph to free safety so that Brian Branch can start at strong safety We're gonna move Tracy Walker down out of the depth chart Brian Branch is now the starting strong safety It's our second round pick out of Bama I think this is one of the steals of the draft one of the like highest values for where we got him I love Brian Branch. There's just so much good young talent on this team Aiden Hutchinson. I'm honestly shocked He's only star. I kind of thought he would get super star But Aiden Hutchinson 23 years old 86 overall and then there's Jack Campbell another rookie another hidden dev 23 years old one early thing I want to do with this team is I want to switch our defensive scheme I don't like that.  We're gonna switch to a 4-3 quarters here I will run Detroit's defensive playbook, but offensively Dallas and Kansas City are always the best The reason I like Kansas City is because they use their tight end a lot. I want La Porta getting those reps I think all of our wide receivers will kind of equally get the ball It's not the best for Jameer Gibbs not the best offensive scheme for him, but I think he'll still cook anyway So here's the 4-3 look I already like this significantly better if I had to give a priority list for positions I would say corners second priority is probably a detackle and then third priority is gonna be a right guard to a plate Glasgow Recently we traded for Donovan people's Jones. I was gonna say we need another wide receiver But we did trade for DPJ in real life. So I do like him. I'm gonna move him up in the depth chart I think he should be getting more reps than Josh Reynolds and of course we have Jameson Williams So I'm also gonna move up in the depth chart, too I actually will move him above DPJ in the depth chart Almenra is our slot wide receiver already making sure Gibbs is our half back in all our sets Just generated our rookies. Let's see what this class is looking like. There's a top five corner The thing is I don't think we're gonna end up with the top five pick. I think we're gonna play pretty well this year I'm predicting like nine and eight maybe ten and seven So we'll end up in the middle of the pack. It's another corner right there LaShawn Hairston There's another corner right here Trent Sampson out of Michigan 6-3 that looks like more where I'll be picking I'm gonna fire Erica Cruz. She does quarterbacks wide receivers not even thinking about either of those positions right now We're gonna hire Yijuan Huang. He does corners and middle linebackers.  Are you kidding? For David Montgomery? Why do you even want him? Hey, I shouldn't say that Montgomery is really good. He's an 83 star, but I am shocked by that offer.  Jameer Gibbs is the true RB1 now in Detroit Defensively though, that's just so insane. Now Odafe Owe is primarily a power rusher I'm gonna switch Odafe Owe to an edge rusher. I'm gonna make him left end. Owe is actually a higher overall at left end He's a 79. All right, y'all this team is fully ready to go. Let's see how this season one goes Everybody is in position to succeed right now. Yo, I predicted nine and eight We go exactly nine and eight, but we made the playoffs the Packers went twelve and five That's one of the first times I've ever seen that Bears were horrible Vikings were horrible Jared golf six in the NFL in passing Yard's not bad. My home's led the league then Prescott borough Dobbs. Yo, hello, Josh Dobbs the pastor Not that's awesome. Golf was 28 for 12. That's a really good season It's not MVP caliber by any means looks like it might be Josh Allen 35 and 2 but 956 Jared golf had a shocking amount of Rushing yards.  Jameer Gibbs 9 56 and 6 to little underwhelming receiving. Oh my god number one receiver I told you we're using the tight end. I didn't expect it like that Laporta 88 receptions a thousand yards 12 touchdowns The Sun God 922 and 8 people's Jones DPJ got a lot of reps 919 and 1 and Jamo 730 and 6 touchdowns So they're really well distributed on the receiving side defensively Jack Campbell 12 Tfls 11 for Brian Branch 2 interceptions out of Campbell 1 out of Brian Branch This could be a defensive rookie of the year campaign for Jack Campbell that many tackles that many Tfls 2 Interceptions and half a sack. You'd like to see more sacks, but 800 some with 8 that might have been one of the best Things we did all the way to left end 7 sacks. He had 8 hutch at 8. I was a rekay had 4 and a half and he's dog shit We need a better de tackle imagine those numbers if that's a good de tackle offensive rookie. Oh, of course. It's Sam Laporta I wasn't even thinking about that offensive rookie of the year is Sam Laporta. I've never seen that before that's huge Jameer got fifth. I'm Eskimo bros with Jane Reed. By the way, I don't know if I ever mentioned that Defensive rookie of the year goes a Byron young Jack Campbell falls just short and then Brian Branch behind him very good season All right, so we're gonna win some awards We're definitely gonna get some dev trade upgrades and we've got this game here against the Niners. This is a 10-year rebuild So I'm not gonna watch every game Especially if I'm not going to Super Bowl if we ever make an NFC championship or a Super Bowl I'll be sure to watch those games. I have a feeling we're just gonna get shit on here 14 to 7 It was a little Eagles chiefs rematch in our first year of the 10 years Tyree Wilson wins defensive rookie of the year and offensive rookie there goes the race she rise So Sam Laporta does win it in the NFC, but the overall rookie of the year was actually ratio rise That's unfortunate, but that's okay.   Oh, he's looking. He's looking amazing already Jameer is low on morale, but he is a star now wide receivers are looking good Jared golfs feeling good Defensively Jack Campbell gets a dev trade upgrade Brian Branch gets a dev trade upgrade for finishing probably so high in defensive rookie of the year That's my guess away. No upgrade and shockingly no upgrade for Hutchinson free agency I honestly want to save Caprim for when all these young guys want to get paid We are gonna be a quiet team in free agency this year. There's nothing I want It's time for our first NFL draft our pick is round one pick 19 I could have swore I set my national scouting focus to corners, but I guess I didn't there's a lot of good corners though There's a top five corner. There's two round ones, and there's three round one to twos We'll have to see what it's available when we come up.  I need to trade up to the Saints. Okay, so we're trading up nine spots I have two third round picks. I'm gonna give away one of my third round picks is actually I might be giving up too much here Let's see what they say You think did I get fleece? I lose a third round, but I go up nine spots to get the guy I want We're on the clock now. Hey my fate lies in the hands of Trent Sampson. Is that his name?   We are gonna fully change Detroit's defense.  I got sauce gardener on both sides both hidden dev That's huge. Also. We traded away our third round pick So I maintain whoever's third round pick. This is which is high We take Luke Harrison here elite speed out of Luke Harrison good solid strength I am I'm gonna take I'm gonna take this detacle Luke Harrison. That's a fast detacle 79 speed 86 strength 81 excel He's almost 300 pounds. He's 65 definitely a finesse guy though F power moves is not good I'm gonna let the CPU close this out my next picks not to the fifth round Hopefully they'll pick us up a right guard. If not, that's all right the moment you've all been waiting for first draft draft recap Oh my god Samson's an 81 and carrot. There's a 77 and we are gonna be the don't fly zone Brian branch is already a superstar Samson's an 81 carrot. There's a 77 and I didn't even scout corners I'm so glad we traded off for this guy.   He's four overalls lower.  He's a 72. Okay, so he's okay He's not to get too excited about but at least I'll have a rookie getting reps rather than I was a rekay Computer took a high tower.  They read Joseph They did take a right guard, but he's ass and he's normal dev So he probably won't be getting reps over Glasgow and then 69 is 62 Nothing crazy 84 free save the Steven Hurst was the best player in the class LaShawn Hairston was the DB taken right before Samson why I traded up and the third best player in the entire class was Trent Samson who I got at pick 10. That's awesome new look Detroit Lions headed into year two Offenses simply the same thing just way better than it was last year. Hi overalls Gardner Johnson's back Jack Campbell's a superstar Branch is a superstar. We got two new insane corners Jerry Jacobs takes CB three I think we got to win at least two Super Bowls in ten years. Hopefully three if not more year two Let's see what we can do well in year two We finished with the exact same record except we don't make the playoffs and the NSC North is tough Bears are eight nine Vikings are ten and seven Dobbs is a stud I guess and then 13 and four Packers Packers are looking like they're gonna continue to be a problem for us in this upcoming draft We're gonna be looking for a linebacker. I want to get Anzalone replaced So maybe first round we take a linebacker or a guard second round. We take whatever we didn't get in the first I'll be in roughly the same spot drafting at 18 19 20 somewhere around there. There's Carl Sellers out of Georgia There's Austin folk out of UCF. They're not much in the linebacker department in this draft class Jared golf had a almost the same season he had last year Jumeir Gibbs does the clips with thousand Let's get it baby. Love seeing that love seeing the four digits instead of three and I'm gonna leads the team This is kind of what I was expecting they got the same receptions I'm gonna 14 touchdowns huge season for him DPJ another solid season Jamo another solid season Defensively anything different Anzalone. Am I missing something? Where's Jack Campbell? The depth chart must have gotten reordered somehow because Jack Campbell. I didn't mess with it though Hutch had nine sacks Anzalone have three and a half three for Oda fe O way Luke Harrison only had two He had 14 TFLs, which is nice. I do not understand how Jack Campbell got phased out Here's how we're looking at the end of year two Gibbs is a 91 overall Golfs and 85 Amon Ruh is a 95 DPJ and JMO are getting much better We still got a really good wide receiver room. Hey, the deck is getting old man We're gonna have to start working on this offensive line. Las gals get worse sewers getting better Of course Ragnos getting better Jonah Jackson's floating but pour us up to a big 90 and then defensively Knew this guy was a dog, but I didn't know he was like that Trent Samson was a superstar X-factor he's up to an 86 overall already. Oh my god. This guy's the best. This guy's actually the best. Let's go That's truly one of the best. That's one of the best picks I've ever made Trent Samson Superstar X-factor Carothers was star O way gets a dev trait upgrade. So does hutch and so does Kirby Joseph. Oh Dude, we have a safety conundrum man. Do we trade one of these safeties? What are we doing here? I keep all of them and keep Kirby Joseph as my sub linebacker and just have like a monster sub linebacker Anzaloni doesn't get started up now. I still need another detackle too because this guy sucks I might keep Kirby Joseph just for sub linebacker shit I'm liking this Raiders win the Super Bowl Nelson Porter's offensive rookie of the year and Kyle Radovic is Defensive rookie of the year no awards for us here, but to go nine and eight twice is interesting But this team is getting so much better. I don't really care since I don't need anything so desperately There's no need to trade up. Although this guy doesn't look that bad Lance Tyler. He actually looks really good I just don't think I should use a round one pick on him. He's projected day three actually looks really good though elite excel Great speed great jumping elite change direction. Okay. Well, let's pick up Lance Tyler in the second round But for this round, let's get our third corner. We're gonna take our third corner Jerry Jacobs walks. We need another corner He is hidden dev. He's not as impressive as Trent Samson the rest of those guys 90 speed. It's a hidden dev It's hidden dev so Lance Tyler. He's still in their low key dude I might be able to get him my third round pick, but I don't want to be that aggressive I'm just gonna do it right now. He looks too good. So this guy is deep in here But look at these physicals. He has one he has two goods two greats two elites a pursuit B block shed Is he normal that fuck? All right. We just got hope. He's a good overall. We just got hope. He's gonna roll He's 22 that's the net. That's that's why I will take the next pick because I do think I want to try and find a Good guard not a detackle clock sticking on me here. It's our third round pick. I need a right guard That's actually a shock to me. I thought for sure this would be normal then this guy was not impressive I thought that linebacker behind them. This guy be normal with my round four pick here I'm gonna take a detackle. Hopefully get a second detackle. I'm not gonna overthink this I'm taking Quincy snow detackle Let's go. Let's go 87 strength 80 speed 80 to it as a very fast detackle Dude when you that little hit a dopamine when you see the blue hidden dev Feel so good year two draft three cap Hey Super solid no crazy anyone's but Jeff Hayden's a 78 Jeff Hayden was a great pick I was a little nervous about him. I thought he'd be worse 90 speed 93 accelerates Have other good stats because he's a 78 left outside linebacker Lance Taylor. Yeah, so he's normal dev But he's a 75 overall Matt locked the right guard hidden dev and a 75 definitely an instant starter Snell is only a 71. That's not too impressive. And then the computer takes Turner takes a 71 overall wide receiver And they take corn Thomas a halfback. So can't be mad about that Let's see how the whole league did best player in the class is an 82 corner with 96 speed Vernon Day Next up was a wide receiver right guard wide receiver Sanner Lance Tyler kind of open you our coverage of some variety.  He's not a rusher. This is perfect This is exactly what I needed here. So Glasgow can come out for our new right guard Wade Matlock and then at corner It's Don Gardner coming out for Jeff Hayden. I mean, look at these corners, man They're young. They're getting so much better and Trent Stamps is already a superstar. I expect that's Insanity year three Lions new right guard three superstars on offense got a new backup T tackle and then Jeff Hayden I'm corn. I'm corners heavy and then of course Lance Tyler normal dev But hoping he can have a good season don't need to make any trades do anything crazy right now I think year three is just gonna be a great year. We're just slowly improving here. Whoo. Look at the year three squad Absolutely dominant for the Detroit Lions were 12 and five dominated the NFC North Everybody fell off and we're taking on the Eagles here. Eagles is not the team. I want to be playing right now Jared golf second in the league and passing yards.  Okay, Jared golf is cooking. It's not MVP.  That's insane.  That is Jeff Hayden our newest corner two Interceptions for branch one for Jack two for Hayden not bad Gardner Johnson had one Carothers had one Lance Tyler had an Interception 12 sacks for hutch six for Luke Harrison five for Oda Faye away and four for the rookie Lance Tyler He had four sacks and interception is that said defensive Ricky the year worthy probably not I'm sure somebody did more than that I'm in a saint brown offensive player the year awesome defensive player the year hutch was fourth offensive rookie of the year Not even in the equation. We shouldn't have been I didn't draft anybody Defensive Ricky the year Jeff Hayden was six Lance Tyler was eight if we make it past this wild card I'd like to step in and see what the divisional looks like in year three here 12 and five See, I knew dude going up against the Eagles is tough. Even if though they're nine and eight They already won a Super Bowl in this franchise and we lose another wild card playoff game here in year three But this team is getting so much better so fast. It doesn't really matter I think we will make a free agency move We will make a free agency move here an interesting year in the league the Ravens and the Falcons square off in the Super Bowl Raven's gonna dub by a single point Rishi rice is offensive player the year Rishi rice is going off definitely got some upgrades though Looks like ominous about to be a 98 overall. My goodness.  I want a slightly better kicker It's actually it's really nice to have a good kicker try and get it for four years Our team is so deep that I'm thinking I might oh my god Laporta Matlock. Whoa Matlock is superstar.  What just happened to my team? When did we get Evan McPherson?  Is this a dev trade-up graders? Is this what you had did this trap my drafters is too good, dude.  I got a trade CJ Gardner Johnson I can't have my X factor free safety not starting or do I just keep CJ Gardner Johnson at depth?  This defense is absurd. I don't even know what to do with my picker Okay, so chargers have round one pick seven. Let's try and get that all for them and take that stud wide receiver See if we can give Jared golf another monster here. I'd give up my round one pick 24 and Maybe DPJ so we move up to round one pick seven We lose a fourth and Donovan people's Jones, and I'm taking a wide receiver with this pick I'm just gonna take the best wide receiver in there. Look at all three of these quarterbacks look nasty Dominique Younger Miguel colon and Max blonde. Okay. Yeah, you know what? We're gonna take Goss replacement right now elite. This guy's good a ton of greats only one good and that's in speed I'm taking Max blonde out of California Max blonde out of California. Is this the future of the Detroit Lions franchise a Scrambler quarterback hitting dev 83 speed 92 power. He's fast. My fuckers fast Can you throw them all but dude Jared golf was taken off and running a lot that may be the future of the Lions It's still Jared golf's team. I still gotta get a wide receiver. I just didn't need to take one in that first round Yancy's slow good skills, but he's slow.  He looks like he's 40, but that's a 22 year old He's been getting into bars since he was 11. So he is slow. He has 89 speed 87 Excel This is a weird wide receiver. He's huge. He's six five got a little Megatron. So we trade away Donovan people's Jones We end up getting a potential franchise quarterback and we still got a usable wide receiver. I'm gonna end this draft I feel good about it. Hopefully we got what we need I just know that max blonde is I'm hoping he's at least a 75 overall drive free cap drive free cap drive free cap Okay, Nancy's good. Nancy's a 74 blonde is only 73 I guess I mean it is hard for quarterback But I was definitely expecting him to be higher round one picks seven. He's fast He's a good quarterback just a low overall very low awareness Martez bush hello and another free safety, dude We are just a safety team goodness and then CPU seems like see if you kind of whiffed down there But that's all right. You ain't see me and a 74 makes me happy So max blonde will be our backup quarterback now and then at wide receiver since we traded away Donovan people's Jones or take Andrew Yancy and we are gonna move him to wide receiver three Jamos at wide receiver two I'm gonna is that wide receiver when he said 98 overall Here's your lion's roster going into year four two superstar X factors three more superstars got our new hidden dev Quarterback max blonde.  Come on Well, we're gonna have a rematch against the Eagles in year four, but this time we're nine and eight NSC North was crazy nine and eight eight nine eight nine seven and ten We do make the playoffs though looks like Jared golf gets second in the league and passing yards again So golf 36 and 13 Jameer gives a thousand one hundred and ten receiving Omnera another amazing season 800 for Laporta Yancy 864 only two touchdowns not gonna win him offensive Ricky the year But a solid season defensively Jack Campbell Jeff Hayden Brian Branch Kirby Joseph four Interceptions Jack Campbell three Kirby three CJ one for Jeff Hayden one for Carothers 15 sacks out of big Hutchinson. That's his best season by far Luke Harrison had a good season with eight Oh to fail way it continues to be the fleece of the century was seven Marshall Kellam. Why is that not Yancy? Marshall Kellam gets two and a half sacks. Did I lose Quincy Snell Luke Harrison and then Quincy Snell Is it my Rushdie tackle backup? Yeah, that's why he's my backup Rushdie tackle.  Let's go play with this lineup or 94 overall That's insane. Let's have some fun. Let's play a little bit of this Play a little bit of this wild card playoff wild card playoff. We're gonna play some of these moments here I don't want to drastically impact the outcome in this game, but let's have some fun They want me to come in on third and ten and make a stop definitely need Hutchinson coming off the edge same with Odafay Oh way.  We got Jack Campbell in the middle. See we got here gentlemen He's got a wide open AJ Brown is what he's got Kirby Joseph. I think right there Jack Campbell and They made that easy lion's score and they're having me take over in the red zone first and ten Let's go. All right. I'm thinking this is man coverage. Did we have so many studs La Porta Amunra? Oh, it's not it's a zone Amunra is covered Jameson Williams is manned up.  He's too fast. Oh Jamo, let's go baby. All right. I think I played enough. I'm gonna jump to the end of the game Let's see if we hold on to this lead. It's 10 to 14 21 to 10 28 to 10 say the Lions are gonna walk home with this one 31 to 17 hey, I definitely impacted that game But we win by 14 there Jameer 73 yards on the ground 4.8 yards per carry Jamo Yansey La Porta I'm in a very even game for the boys to touchdowns La Porta divisional against the San Fran 49ers I'm just gonna send this one. We're nine and eight. They're 11 and six, but we did just smack the Eagles Oh 45 to 17 are the nine and eight Lions really gonna pull this off. We barely made the playoffs. We're good I mean, we're really good right now though. I'm gonna send this to the Super Bowl if we make the Super Bowl We'll watch the game for sure.   Jared golf is it ninth? Never thought I'd see the day Max blonde is gonna be waiting on that bench a long long time But I'm glad we have him gives us up to a 97 Yansey J. Mo La Porta Then defensively we get a dev trade upgrade for CJ Gardner Johnson, and I think he's the only one. No Oda fe I cannot believe we fleece the Ravens like this man. We really fleece the Ravens like this for David Montgomery All right y'all Super Bowl here against the Kansas City Chiefs We click playful game, and then I just watch right there top three Mahomes Chris Jones and Pacheco We got Aminra Hutch and Sam La Porta Detroit Lions taking on the Kansas City Chiefs Let's send this to halftime. Then let's check in Lions score first. It's seven to seven. Oh, we got stuffed on the goal line It's still seven to seven. It's still seven to seven fourteen seven fourteen fourteen twenty one fourteen Twenty-eight fourteen. Oh, let's check in cheese are kind of handed to us right now Twenty-eight fourteen laser over the middle the Super Bowl is not looking good for us though We're gonna have to force a stop. Oh my god broke that tackle and a horse collar second and six they go pitch Pacheco I don't know why Oda fe away was in coverage there. You should always be coming off that edge That's all she wrote in Super 30 It's hard to get past the Chiefs man It is not a bad game by any means my homes had five passing touchdowns though We had three and one interception that'll do it two touchdowns 150 yards for rice One for Jima one for Yancey one for La Porta tough a women's Super Bowl I can't be mad about that right when I'm struggling with honestly is how do I make this team better?   He's 23 is a 93 overall. What's it gonna cost Falcons? What's it gonna cost? I'm throwing in Luke Harrison. I would one pick 31 that ain't worth much I'm gonna give up round one and round two and round three I'm kind of gonna nuke my draft this year Honestly trading this game is so easy that I like I almost preferred highball because it's more realistic I'm trading away my young detackle for an even younger detackle who is Superstar X factor 92 overall cost me my first second and third this year. All right y'all I'm actually gonna sim this year's draft. I don't have a first second or third Is that really that aggressive of a trade to get a 92 Superstar X factor 93 overall? I feel like should cost that much coach got us a 71 tight end a 71 center not bad I think we made the right decision.  I can't say I'm not shocked He was so good. He kind of like needed to be on a team that was really gonna fully utilize him a year five I think this could be our best season yet Undoubtedly our best season look at this 14 and three number one offense in the league the squad has Super high morale. This could definitely be a Super Bowl year for us We've got to buy Jared golf number one in passing yards. Does he win MVP? It's gonna go to Jalen Hertz or in my homes or Purdy crazy I'm in row with offensive player of the year 42 and 10 4,805 yards. So leads the league Jameer Gibbs a thousand 300 yards 21 touchdowns.  Oh my god 1312 out of La Porta and J. Modus core single touchdown. That's crazy Campbell way up there and tackles 6 TFLs 18 for away 13 sacks Hutchinson 9 for away 6 for Josh Well, I expected a little more out of him low key so that's 17 TFLs 6 sacks But I thought he'd be a bit more impactful in the divisional were taken on the 9 and 8 panthers So Derek Brown's their best player then Brian burns Bryce young Imagine this is a pretty free W. It was and now we take on the 9 and 8 San Fran We have a 99 offense right now. Brock Purdy was up there in the MVP voting, but I imagine we go to Super Bowl here Okay, so we definitely made it past the Niners. It's kind of a close game 3121 not too close But a dub we're taking on the Jaguars who are the two seed and they're 13 and 4 We have a significant overall advantage. What's this Jaguars roster look like are we finally gonna get our first Super Bowl here at The end of year 5 or is then your 6 my mind's starting to go blank Andre Cisco's a 99 T-Laws a 99 Etn's a 99 Stefan Washington wide receivers a 99 Josh Allen Tyson Campbell Trayvon Devon Lloyd Evan Angram Calvin O'Neill Brandon Fulton, and then here's your Lions with 1 2 3 4 5 6 99 so my god 98 overall Lions taken on the 92 Jaguars that top 3 It's kind of rookie in there. I love that. They're not a rookie, but an auto-generated. We're back in the Super Bowl, baby We're looking for redemption looks like we got a stop on the Jaguars And I want to step in here and play a little bit offense Let's kick this drive off with a little play action, and I'm gonna throw a hospital pass Oh Jared golf's got a step up.  Look at Hamanra St. Brown Beautiful dig. Let's take advantage of Jameer Gibbs is superstar. I just noticed that Jameer Gibbs is superstar He's got some crazy speed on him. Jameer is gonna take 16 yards on his first touch. Let's go and run play action here I'm looking for oh, we think I'm gonna rock can do that. What a ball. What a ball Yancy is Yancy's only guy at trust that's in right now. Let's see if he clears Oh, he will he will Yancy clears. Why didn't you guys? I promise you I meant to dive I'm just gonna watch as we punch this one in yeah first points of the bowl coming in the second quarter Amazing blocks Huge start to this game Jaguars march down and score one of their own Lions punt Jaguars are marching again 7-7 Jaguars through the red zone they could take a lead here, and there's not a lot of clock left Let's see what they do t-law drops back unloads low.  No, that's a huge play and the Sun God McPherson I'll come out and drill this put three up right before half. This is a really Let's go, baby. We'll let the boys play the third quarter here huge touchdown 20-7. Oh, we might we might just end of the game 20 to 7 t-laws taking over the suvo This could be our first ring second and 10 laser over the middle. I gotta call the time out though Yeah, clock is not on their side here Hand off to ETN. Can we break it up? Oh, run it. Wow Lions. We're not ready for that And I wasn't either play action. He's Another interception. Oh my god, it's the backup free safety. That's who came in for CJ Gardner Johnson When he walked in free agency and Jared golf's gonna come out here in victory formation the Super Bowl Show me my confetti. Don't glitch out. Hey Dude, they're trotting the trophy out and they're trying to get me to call a play. I hate this glitch I just want my confetti. That's my source Super Bowl. Don't do me like this What if I put it on fast and I sim it to the end of the game? What happens? I've seen this glitch before when I quit the game now we'll have to win first Super Bowl ring 20 to 7 Super Bowl 62 Super Bowl MVP is Trent Samson. Dude, that makes me so happy We traded up for that man and now we Super Bowl MVP 20 to 7 against the Jaguars Taylor Decker does retire That cpu drafted me Schwartz that center was uh who was star dev So we can move him to left tackle right now. We really we really don't even need a draft to fix that That's pretty good. I think at some point here. We should try to draft another superstar wide receiver I'm geeked about you Jameer Jameer finally caught superstars. He's a 99 overall defensively so far. We've maintained everyone except Trying to remember his name, but it was northeris. That was our third corner. He walks in free agency We couldn't afford to pay him. So we still have Kirby Joseph. We still Brian branch We still got Hayden away villa Hutchinson snell still out our core linebackers Tyler's looking good jack Campbell's looking good, but we need another corner So in this upcoming draft, we gotta just draft another corner, baby We've been drafted a lot of corners and we've been drafted corners. Well, I am not nervous about that at all Let's take jane pierman. Let's see what's up. Oh, wow. I have been so hot on corners And I finally took a big wiff here. Let's take a shot here on Brandon McKenzie. Oh my god I saw the two elites and the physicals. I'm getting smoked right now draft recap, baby This oh see so we got good overalls. He's a 76 overall corner. That's really good 74 overall McKenzie's Okay, 92 speed 94 excel got mark Haynes a middle linebacker 73 overall. That's a huge pickup Your year six and defending super bowl champion. Detroit lions. Jared golf is looking unbelievably good right now Once you get a retire 33 years old 12 years in the league He wants to keep man. We can tom brady this man. I may I may never need max blonde another Monster season for the lions here 13 and 4 Like when you see these colors, look at these colors like looking at my defense and seeing this much red Is so absurd my home's his first golf is second re saw leads the league in rushing yards Jameer Gibbs with 1229 and 14 touchdowns. I'm gonna say bound third in the league with 18 touchdowns 1387 yards sam la porta 9 20 and seven. It's an all right season honestly nothing too crazy Defensively we have 13 sacks on the odiff a all way. He took over hot touch at 10 Eight out of villa four out of snail three out of emrod two and a half out of jack Campbell Taking on the 10 and 7 chicago bears We're taking on a division rival in the divisional. I love that. Oh my god. We lost Yo fields had three touchdowns. No interceptions. Yo, we got cooked dj more cooked us I saw we go for a little back to back there Damn with the super bowl two years in a row and then in this third year here But virtually the same team we get booted in the divisional while the bears went all the way to the super bowl They got beat by the ravens. We won coach of the year then Campbell gets coach of the year Can't argue with that. We built this team so well without free agency that I've kind of been staying away from it Taking a peek here. I'm gonna try and pick up and Todd Harrison does not look like he wants to play for us But money talks, baby. Oh, just kidding. I don't have the cap. Shit. I'm broke Never mind. Just hanging on to our team. I can't afford anybody. I have one mill available in cap space No, I knew this was gonna happen. No is our dynasty over bro. Did I lose anybody in free agency? I don't think so. Okay. We lost Quincy Snell in free agency. That's it though So the computer picked me up a superstar corner. Hell.  Dude, I think I'm gonna do it salary caps crazy. I gotta unload somebody's contract and I know jeered golf It's cost me a lot of money right now.   Couldn't I I need to stop trade I need to put in five first round picks and then hit the button So max blonde has been patiently waiting. He's also out of cal No, jeered golf trained him up nicely. He is three years in the league. He's never really seen the field But he's an 80 overall. He's star and he's finally ready to take over this team I might end up grabbing him a wide receiver with round one pick five round one pick five and round one pick 27 I could get the hawaii quarterback kyle leblanc elite speed elite change of direction elite agility elite accelerator This guy's faster than fuck. Oh my god. Do I replace max blonde?        This guy's insane. Looks like chuck grant. We get a 75 overall right hand hidden devata Okay state in the second round 73 overall detack on the fourth round. We are just cooking We got four picks from the texans for trading down, which is a ton I'm just low on cap room cost an arm and a leg But jamo two firsts a second a third and a fourth for the 88 overall superstar expector 22 year old deontay mckenzie All right for the first time we are switching up the offensive playbook. We're switching it to baltimore We're gonna try and emulate what Lamar jackson's been doing He's won MVP in this league a couple times now and the ravens have two super bowls So kyle leblanc. It's your team now. Here's your year seven. Detroit lions deer goff is gone We're gonna be running the ball down their throat jimir gibbs 99 overall I'm really interested to see how this season goes now. I know my team is a 99 overall But something tells me that kyle leblanc cooked we're 12 and five We're playing in the wild card against the commanders. Dude. Let's take a look at this line. Oh kyle leblanc I knew it. This guy was too good. I have never drafted so many super star x factors, bro Currently rocking a 91 overall started the season at 70 90s 99 speed 95 acceleration.  Whoa 33 and nine. That's a very good ratio for his rookie year. He had to have run had to have won rookie year He had 700 rushing yards and six touchdowns. I like that still 1400 and 14 Deontay mckenzie really good season 16 touchdowns la porta then aminra Sees a regression, but we did that on purpose. We're starting to fade him out So we had 181 carries with kyle leblanc. Honestly expected him to do a little bit more on the ground I'm not gonna lie. Kyle Leblanc the clear offensive rookie of the year I'm gonna play a moment in this game because I really want to use kyle leblanc So here's the wild card taking out the commanders. They got adam taylor vanguard tydan terry mclauren jonathan allen They're 92 overall.  Oh my god I can't believe I got caught third and five.  Hey, we gave up so much for him james and williams and he won a picks It's 14 to zero. It's 14 to seven. Actually, you know what let's go one more third and four I want to get in my time with kyle leblanc, bro.   There is we'll throw a laser This guy doesn't even have a name. That was so weird, but mckenzie was glitched out I didn't put his name under him.   I'm so glad we drafted this guy, bro Let's let's put this game away here 45 to 10 Dude, is kyle leblanc gonna win a super bowl in his first year thinking on the seahawks here 10 and 7 W 17 to 10 NFC championship against the falcons. I'm gonna sim this if it gets close. Let's watch We're 99 over all men. They still got beach on a cow pits and lynstrum opening drive falcon score Lion score right back falcon score right back 14 to 14. Jeez. They're scoring so fast It's 21 to set. It's 24 to 21. Wait a minute. We got to watch Let's clock in desmond ridder is at least superstar. Gonna go play action there. Hux it deep Wow, broken cover lion score right back 31 to 28 Even if they don't convert here, it's not ballgame, but ridder throws over the middle. He caught that Does he check down to bijon because he's there?  He does get it. Oh my goodness this man ridder running out of time Connects he's gonna drop back. Desmond ridder is gonna throw to no man's land. We go to the super bowl if we win this No way Oh my god Second intensity We run the ball out now because we're Baltimore So we don't have that crazy pass offense that we used to have and Kyle Leblanc Makes a huge throw right there. I was about to say this guy can't throw it like golf either But you know what he makes a great throw right there first and 10 field goal does nothing for us We got to go end zone the block unloads Right. I don't know about that though Third and seven he uncorks it. Oh, that's a crucial drop and I'm gonna be honest I don't know who just dropped that but that's ballgame 31 to 35 in the nfc championship Arthur smith's gonna take this one Oh my god. We lost Aden Hutchinson in free agency. We have another superstar x-factor detackle Brian Quinn What is with this game? Oh, I did trade this pick actually don't have any picks. Yeah, I have no picks here Yikes, I gotta hope he's hidden dev. He is let's go to him Let's go to him just gonna send it to the end here. Don't gotta do anything fancy Little drap free cap looks like man was a 71 overall. We did get will mcgannos. It's happy Let's me a nice backup half back. He's hidden dev to rookie at Louisville. Yes. That's actually really that is what we needed Trying a jade and paraman from the Bengals 91 left tackle It took a lot bro took an x-factor detackle a first second third and fourth Chill out. Here's your new look lions Need another amazing season on Kyle Leblanc defensively. We'll be looking to do the same stuff We've always been doing man. Just cook not the best season here nine and eight But we still made the playoffs or we're very consistently making the playoffs 3535 passing yards for Leblanc rushing. Did he improve? He did eight 78 up the yards per carry and Gibbs had another good season Deontay a thousand and twelve. Yeah, I don't know man. I think that Dallas Cowboys defense is just so OP Villa had 10 and a half away had nine. Dude, no more eight and Hutchinson's crazy. We couldn't afford him That's the W against the Giants, baby. Now the divisional. Do we get through the Rams? Oh my god We're the nsc chip versus the Packers. Do we make it or not make it to the Super Bowl nsc chip versus Packers? Come on.  Wow. I can't believe you just did that Taking on the 11 and six Steelers in the Super Bowl. What's this Steelers roster looking up? By the way, here's the Lions. We've one two three four five six seven eight nine 10 99s.  We're chillin. All right Oh, let's see what you do. All right Steelers start with a touchdown Lions respond. It's seven to seven It's 14 to seven. It's 14 to 10 21 to 10 am I we're gonna win the bowl Leblanc I see it Leblanc you can throw it out, but you can take off too Trying to juke in the overfield you sketch ball.  We're milking this clock All that run in the ball is freeing up Deontay Mackenzie 35 pass to jamir dropped Are we bringing out the unit 24th? That's not as healthy of a lead. I don't like that as much McPherson Oh, it's not McPherson. That's our punter. Our punter is our kicker right now We don't have McPherson anymore and the Super Bowl ends 17 to 24 Steelers were able to score, but it used all their timeouts and victory formation Ice is it up for the Lions. Oh to pay always second touchdown as a lion same for la porta jamir Gibbs Kyle Leblanc the soft bar. He's gotta be super long to be in three touchdowns a ton of rushing yards Super Bowl 65 goes to the Lions, baby. My bad boys. This is year nine I accidentally hit sim to next season instead of sim to draft. Shit. Oh, I don't get to see the draft overview The entire offense is retained Leblanc's looking good. We've got some depth at running back Still got Yancey Mackenzie and Aminra. Well, okay, we retained everybody. Okay, awesome That could have been a lot worse, but it wasn't I just don't get to see the recap on the rookies Unfortunately, I apologize boys. I fumbled the bag there. Hey year nine. We went nine and eight So this schedule should be pretty easy for us. It's all about Kyle Leblanc, baby Kyle Leblanc is now a true 98 overall scrambler in only two years in the league. His accuracies are already immaculate He doesn't have deep accuracy, but Raven's playbook doesn't really throw deep. Hey now. It's just it's just coasting now We are literally just we're coasting. We're that good 13 and four season 28 and one is an insane insane stat line for Leblanc. Jamir Gibbs 1200 Leblanc almost had a thousand rushing yards this season Nine touchdowns Mackenzie another great season decent for Aminran Laporta They're probably upset about the scheme changes around here, but take it on the New Orleans Saints here They got a 99 overall superstar. I expect to Chris Olave. Do we get through the Saints? Dude, we can't back to back it the game won't let me back to back it, aren't it gonna sim this straight to the draft We have negative 10 million cap space. So I can't sign anybody in free agency Well, something had to budge and what budged was Jamir Gibbs. We could not afford to pay him Our current running backer now is will mcdaniels, which is the real kiwi drafted He's no jamir Gibbs. We kind of knew that was gonna happen We just don't have the money to be paying all these guys and oda fe o way retired That's like a huge blow to us going into this final year right here Samson has six upgrades available and I don't think we can spend it. We can't samson is too good You can't upgrade them anymore. That's crazy. Oh, we don't even have the first We don't even have our first round pick here. I ain't getting I'm not getting anything usable here I have negative 47.3 million in cap. How is that even possible? I don't even have a first round pick in this draft. I'm simming it. All right, gentlemen Take a look at your year 10 Detroit lions. Who have we retained and who is all brand new? Let's find out kyle leblanc for those of you who just skipped to the end of the video We had a quarterback. His name was max blond He was an 80 overall and he was getting ready to take over for jared golf who he had just traded I saw a quarterback available in that upcoming draft class. He had elite speed elite acceleration Elite agility and I said this guy looks pretty fast. Why don't we take a shot on him 99 speed out the gates kyle leblanc And it changed everything for this team. We switched our scheme We went baltimore ravens. It was time to run the ball with the quarterback This guy's out of hawaii and his first year he goes to the playoffs and loses in the nfc championship And his second year he won a super bowl and this is his fourth year technically now We're gonna see what he can cook up the auntie mckenzie. We traded for him. He's now a hard 99 And he's amazing, but almond rel superstar x-factor still with the lions la porta 98 still with the lions panacea 97 still with the lions and the rest of our o-line is fully revamped Defensively kirby joseph 98 overall superstar x-factor definitely the standout wild card player of this team did not expect him to be So good. He's been amazing jack cambell has held it down in the middle all these years ryan branch is a 99 my safeties have been amazing in the first two seasons We drafted some insane corners trend samson being the first one jeff hayden being the next villa was a trade 99 d tackle hutchinson Retires from the league and i'm not sure the math on this. I don't know how we're a 98 overall final season Let's see what kyle leblanc's got cooked up, baby We literally love going nine and eight you can kind of start to feel this team falling apart though I don't know.  We got smacked 41 to 19 and that's gonna be it Let's sim this up to the off season and let's see how year 10 went and we can put a we can put a bow on this The 10th year season recap the cowboys beat the texans and lamar cunningham his superbowl mvp 2031 it was the saints 2030 was us with superbowl mvp kyle leblanc in his second year 29 It was the falcons 28. It was the ravens over the bears 27 was us This is jared golf. We had jared golf acuity here 26 We went but didn't win it so three superbowl appearances in 10 years two wins And our ending team how many original lions players remain Aminra st. Brown penace sewell sam leporta three guys. I love man. No jamir gibbs.  That's crazy kirby joseph probably our mvp man He has been amazing brian branch that might be it man 10 years three superbowl appearances and two wins If that happens in real life, I'll be a happy lions fan. This was an awesome rebuild boys We're kind of low on cap space, but it was a blast. Hey, I appreciate you guys are watching as always This is a long rebuild. So I really hope you guys enjoy these rebuilds have been fun. Shit. I'll see you guys next Friday with another rebuild I love y'all. Thanks for watching as always and I'll see you guys in the next video. Peace


Today I am going to talk to you about one patient of mine by the name Mrs. Chhataj. She is an elderly 61 year old lady for whom I had done a knee replacement on the right side almost about 3 years back. She was very happy with the surgery and she came to me about 3 days back for a surgery on the left knee. We did her surgery on the left knee. Today is the day 3rd after the surgery. She is almost pain free, mobile, independently able to use the washroom and today she will be going home. One of the primary reasons we are able to discharge them on day 3 is what we do is we follow patient optimization. Even before surgery we ensure that all the parameters are fine and we follow enhanced recovery after surgery protocols to ensure that the patient is mobile either on the same day or the next day after surgery. By employing these practices we ensure that our complication rates are much lower and the patient is discharged at a faster rate and in a much better independent position. If you have this problem you can get this to Saiyed Imran in Manipal Hospital. He is very good. Allhamdulillah, he is the best. Nothing can be done. No matter how you are, you can do it. Allhamdulillah, it will be good. We at Manipal Hospital Millers Road regularly employ these practices to ensure that our patients have better outcomes in a shorter time.


We're going to be talking about SVG charts and graphics in Ruby. So anyway, SVG. SVG is one of the big comeback stories in the tech world, I think. Because SVG started out back in around 1999, like a long time ago before the bubble burst, like the bubble that was before the big bubble that just burst a while ago. And XML had been invented a couple of years ago. And if you were to go into your local borders and buy a copy of XML magazine, you'd be forgiven for thinking that XML was just about the greatest thing that had ever been invented in the history of mankind ever. I mean, I know I was. And I got to say, guys, I'm kind of disappointed with how things have turned out. Because by now, I expected at least to be browsing the web in 3D using the power of VRML. And this is the creepiest image I could find, by the way. Yeah, it's Netscape. It's a VRML plugin for Netscape. I think I actually use that. I may have actually seen this rabbit guy. So yeah, I expect to be doing that. And for the boring text pages, those should definitely be rendered using XSLT, right? Because I mean, who needs Hamel when you got XSLT? And for the graphics, well, those are going to be SVG. And this is actually coming true a little bit. SVG is making a comeback, like I said. Now, why is that? And what is SVG anyway? It stands for Scalable Vector Graphics. And you all know this, but I'll go through it for the viewing audience at home. Raster graphics, your normal JPEGs, GIFs, pings, all that, are made up of pixels, right? And if you take a 10 pixel by 10 pixel image and enlarge it to 1,000 by 1,000, it looks like crap, unless you're on CSI Miami. And but vector images don't have that problem, because they're defined mathematically. You can scale them up and down as much as you want. That's fine. And the reason this is becoming more and more important is that, well, the people who make the screens for our devices, for our desktops and all that, they've been on a crazy terror lately. This shows the growth in pixels and screens. I don't know if there's actually an 8K UHD display out there, but I just got a 4K one. It's pretty cool. And they're not only adding more pixels there, they're cramming them into a smaller and smaller space. Penciled density is getting lower and lower, which on the one hand is kind of cool, because it makes everything look sharp and all that. But on the other hand, it's a real pain in the neck for us web developers, because we got to make the logo look good. You know, I used to, in the good old days, I used to be able to export a PNG from Photoshop and send it to my users through the web and be assured that it would look uniformly crappy on every monitor. And now I just don't have that assurance anymore, right? If I use the old sort of standard resolution for my logo, then it's gonna look crappy on retina monitors because they scale things up, or yeah, they scale things up and it looks sort of fuzzy around the edges. If I increase the image size by two times so that it gets scaled in retina to a nice size and looks good on retina, then who knows what it's gonna look like on HTC screen or whatever. And we're all just gonna be screwed whenever Apple comes out with retina 2.0. And so, anyway, I just wanna propose, I like proposing rules and talks, so this is Star's first rule of web design. You gotta make the logo look good. And SVG makes the logo look good. That's probably one of the nicest use cases for it. But as I'm sure you know, it's also great for cool things like illustrations. This is a really neat JavaScript library called SNAP, which you can use to make, there I say almost flashlight animations like if you wanted to do a cool intro page for your website, you could do it using this or, I don't know, I don't mean to make fun of them, but it's a really cool project. There's also graphs and the 800 pound gorilla in the graphing industry has gotta be D3. You can do amazing things with D3, right? You can map the outbreak of measles across the United States. You can make crazy charts showing interconnectedness between people who have the measles. I'm kinda worried about measles. No, I'm just trying to get a rise out of people. And anyway, you can use it for charts, right? And not only can you use D3 for charts, but actually D3 is a foundation for a lot of charting libraries that we use. Like a lot of charting libraries like Rickshaw will rely on D3 to do actual heavy lifting. And this posed a problem for me because, have you ever had this experience where you're looking through some code, you're trying to make some changes, make things better, maybe make things more efficient?   So that's basically my life. So I didn't know anything about SVG at this point, but I knew that these charts were pretty simple. Like they can't be that complex. And so I opened up the web inspector in Chrome and actually inspected the SVG code. And just as an illustration, I put the code for one of those graphs on the left-hand window. And on the right is D3. And it keeps going for five minutes. I pressed the down button for five minutes and recorded it all. See, this is the point where I have you guys in the palm of my hand. I can make you suffer so badly. So anyway, it's about 100K minified. And it just really, really, really started to annoy me that we were using this 100K library to generate some about three lines of SVG code. You know, I wondered if maybe it wouldn't be more efficient if we rolled our own in Ruby. But like I said, I didn't know anything about SVG. So step one, what the heck does SVG even look like, right? It looks like this. It looks mostly like XML, HTML, whatever. You actually don't need a doc type or anything like that. This is valid. You can use it in your web apps or your web pages a number of ways. Easiest is probably to just treat it like an image. You can use it in an IMG tag. You can also use it as a background image. It's really handy for stuff like that. The second way to treat SVG as an external resource is to use the object tag, which gives you some nice fallback, a fallback mechanism, and it allows you to do some JavaScript manipulation, but not all the JavaScript manipulation that you might want to. And these approaches are nice for caching. You get browser caching for free just like with any type of image, but you can't style them with CSS really, and you can't, well, I mean, you can do some JavaScript, but it's kind of limited. So if you're looking for the most flexibility, the next approach is probably your best bet, which is just to embed the SVG directly into the HTML. And this works too. Obviously you have to use fragment caching or some other sort of text caching. You can't use browser caching for this. But you can manipulate this with your applications CSS and JavaScript, which is pretty cool, and I'll show you how to do that a little bit later. But first, let's take a tour. What does CSS look like? So just like in HTML, you have a bunch of tags like paragraph and h1 and all this. Basically, these are markup tags for describing documents, for describing text-based things. SVG is really similar, but you're describing shapes instead of text-based stuff. So we have shapes, right? You can draw a circle using the circle tag. You can have an ellipse. Ellipses have two radii. I actually distinctly remember nodding off in math class when they covered ellipses. And so, yeah, they intimidate me a little bit, but I'm not gonna show it. I'm gonna be brave. You can do rectangles. You have all sorts of crazy, amazing rounding options for the corners. You've got lines.   You got text.  In this case, I'm loading an image from an external URL and on one copy of it, I'm running a filter that makes it black and white. You can do, basically you can do a lot of things that you might otherwise have to use Photoshop filters for or something like that, just with pure SVG, which gives you some interesting options around image manipulation that may have not been open to you before. And the cool thing is that if you're in the browser, SVG works a lot like HTML. Like you can use your same old bag of tricks. You can give SVG elements a ID. You can give them classes. And then you can use CSS selectors to style them. You can use document get element by ID or you can use even jQuery to get a reference to an SVG element and then you can change the text. You can change the font. You can really do a lot of stuff. And this may sound somewhat useful, but it opens up a world of possibility because it means that you can actually manipulate vector graphics in the browser. Say for example that you wanted to generate a bunch of custom, I don't know, postcards or something, a new postcard for every one of your user. And each of those postcards needed to have custom text, maybe a custom image on it, whatever. You could have your browser design or your browser, have your designer create the design in Illustrator, export that to SVG. You load that into your browser and then you can manipulate the SVG and swap out the text or do whatever you like with it. And then use something like something like phantom.js to print it to PDF. Which I'm not just making that up. I've actually done something like that. So, congratulations. You guys are now SVG experts. Everything there is to know. But that's the only half of the battle. The other half, I know this is the most overused chart ever, but I like it. Anyway, the other half is not red lasers or blue lasers. The other half is making some charts. So, we're gonna make three types of chart. We're gonna make a bar chart, we're gonna make a line chart, which is not shown here. And we're gonna make a donut chart. So, let's get started. Bar charts. Oh yeah, I just wanted to mention also, I'm just gonna be implementing these in SVG for now. Basically, putting these in and making these dynamic in Ruby is gonna be almost trivial. So, we're gonna focus on the SVG so we can see how things are actually put together and understand that a little bit better. So, what is a bar chart? A bar chart is just three rectangles that are next to one another, or however many rectangles, I chose three. I've given each of the rectangles a height corresponding to some value, some percentage, 50, 75, and 100. I'm imagining those are percentages. And so, now we have kind of a bar chart, but it's upside down, that's the problem, right? Because, well, most charts start at, the origin is at the bottom left, but SVG, like a lot of computer graphics, sets the origin at the top left of the screen. So, we actually have to position each of these bars so that they line up at the bottom. And you do that by setting the Y value to the maximum height of your graph minus the height of the bar. Am I getting feedback? Okay, I just stepped back a step and I thought I got some, so I'm just gonna stay right here. So, this is a really ugly chart, but we can use CSS to style it really easily. In this case, I'm using, I'm adding a stroke, a white stroke that separates out the bars. In SVG, you don't use CSS attributes like background and border. Instead, you use stroke, which is sort of like a border, and you use fill, which is kind of like the background. So, this is alright, I guess, but we want everything to be interactive, right? So, what if you wanted to show the value of the bar when you mouse over the bar? To do this, I'm gonna take an approach I would probably take even if I was implementing this using HTML on these bars where it just divs. First, I'm going to print out the value at the bottom of each bar, or wherever I want it. And I've only shown the code for one of these bars so that it's a little bit more clear. I'm grouping together using the G element, the rectangle and the text. And the G element is nice because it, not only does it allow you to structure your documents in a way that makes a little bit more sense than just having everything at a base level, it also lets you play tricks with the origin so you can do things like relative positioning. And then to add the interactivity, I'm just gonna use some CSS. I hide the numbers by default, and yeah, when you hover over it, I show them with a transition. It's not showing the animation on here, so that's why I'm leaning back. All right, so bar charts are conquered. Line charts are next. When we get done, you guys are gonna be able to make your own D3 and Ruby. And when you do, please tell me because I would like to use it. So for a line chart, I'm gonna introduce an element called a path. As I mentioned before, a path is made up of multiple segments, and they can be lines, they can be arcs, they can be bezier curves, whatever you like. But the main thing to know about the path is what this D attribute does. The D attribute is essentially a list of commands, and I've broken the commands out and separated them onto separate lines so you can see that a little bit easier. Basically, you can imagine this like you're giving commands to a person holding a pencil, or like you're writing a program for one of those old plotters that actually like holds a pen and a little device and moves it around. So first I'm telling it to move to 0.10, and then I'm telling it to draw a bunch of lines to the different points which are my data points. And that's pretty easy, right? So let's add a fill to that. To do that, I'm just gonna copy my original path, and instead of leaving it open and just having a line or a stroke, I'm gonna close it and add a fill of like gray. To add points, it's very easy to just, oh, okay, it's easy to just add circles each to your data points. And if you wanna make it pretty and use some CSS, you can use those same attributes. I'm just using fill, stroke, stroke, width to make this a little bit prettier. And the math for this is really simple. Like the math we've used so far, it almost doesn't even feel like math, it just feels like programming. But generally I found that when you're creating charts, it's easy to think about the math as sort of a three-stage process or a three-step process. And the first, you have your original raw data. This may be, I don't know, say I know how much RAM a server is using. And then I want to project that into a abstract sort of graph space. And as an example, say I wanna take that amount of RAM and I project that into zero to 100%. And then as the third and final step, I project that zero to 100% into a pixel space. I'm using scare quotes with pixels because with SVG pixels are kind of a nebulous thing. But still I convert the percentages to either heights or rotations or whatever. And I found generally that pretty much all the math I do boils down to a scale function where I say map my data into a space of one to 100% or something, and an invert function to just take care of the fact that SVG starts drawing at the top left of the screen. All right, so two charts down. We have one to go, the donut chart. The donut chart is the most complicated beast of a chart. Okay, it's not that complicated, but what this chart is actually made up of is made up of two paths. The one on the right, yeah, on your right, is the actual representation of the data. And the one on the left is a background, this is there to make it pretty. So let's get started. First we're gonna start by drawing the right path. So if you'll take a look at the D attribute, we start by moving to 10, zero. And then I tell it to draw a circular arc. That's what that A is right there. We tell it to draw a circular arc with a radius of 10. And the reason that says 10 twice is that you could actually add two radiuses and do a elliptical arc. We've got a couple bits that tell it which direction to draw in. And then we have the end point, which is calculated by the computer. Yeah, I didn't do that by hand. So the next step, we add a line into the inner radius, just using the same L command that we used for our bar chart. Then we draw the inner radius, which is another arc. This is a little bit smaller. Finally, we close the path by using the Z command. And I don't know if you guys have noticed this, but the graph is rotated 90 degrees from the direction that I want it. And I suppose I could go back and fix all my math, but I'm just gonna be lazy and add a transform and rotate the whole thing 90 degrees. So we'll add some CSS to change the background. And then we'll add that second path, which is a lot like the first path. So the math here is not quite as complicated as it may seem.  If you first start thinking in terms of polar coordinates, because if we're trying to represent values from zero to 100, then those can be mapped onto a circle as zero to 360 degrees. And that combined with the radius gives you the ability to define every point that we use there. And so now all we need to do is convert those to Cartesian coordinates because SVT always uses Cartesian. And you just use a trig formula that you can look up online easily. And there you have it. So I'm not going to go into exactly how you would generate the XML with Ruby because that would be kind of boring. But if you're interested in a really sort of bare bones implementation of this, I have this on GitHub. We use this in our app, but I wouldn't recommend that you do it because I might change it at any point. All right, so this next slide, I think every talk should have this slide in it because it seems to me like putting together a talk is more about what you leave out than what you put in. It's all about stepping gingerly around all the dragons that you've discovered or lying there asleep just waiting to devour you. And the first major dragon that you'll face if you try and do something complicated with SVG is that it's not meant to deal with large amounts of text. It doesn't do what HTML does. There are a couple of ways around this. The first is that you can actually, in some browsers, you can embed HTML into your SVG. In other cases, since SVG doesn't support WordRap natively, you can use something like JavaScript to go in and create your own WordRap functions and create your own centering functions and stuff like that. And so if you see SVG that uses text and has text nicely centered and everything, chances are they're using JavaScript to do that. The coordinate systems, I dipped it a little bit into this with the G element and doing relative positioning and stuff like that. But coordinate systems can be a little bit hairy to figure out exactly what you're defining your elements relative to and all that. If you don't start down that road, if you don't ever do any tricks with the coordinate systems, everything is simple. But as soon as you start to get tricky with the coordinate systems, you can find yourself possibly writing things to a Cartesian coordinate system that actually when it's displayed on screen is rotated by a certain amount and it just gets weird. And the documentation is, it's there and it's okay, but people don't use SVG as widely as they do, say HTML. And so the documentation isn't quite as good as perhaps we're used to. So you kind of have to do a bit of trial and error. The standard hasn't changed, I don't think at all since around 2000, although I think there's supposed to be a new version in the works. But anyway, I have faith. I think you guys can do it if you're interested in that because I did it and I wasn't that big of a deal. If you're interested in learning more in this, I suggest that you buy this book, which I did not write, but it's really good even though it's published by Microsoft. And, well, they fought SVG for years, so maybe it would have been adopted a little bit sooner before that. But I guess, yeah, who among us isn't a hypocrite. So anyway, that's it. Thank you guys for listening to my talk on SVG.
