Jonah is the story of a prophet commanded to deliver a harsh judgment from God to the people of ancient Nineveh. Jonah resists God's command and attempts to run away by boarding a ship. While at sea, a divinely directed storm causes Jonah to be thrown over board and he's swallowed by a giant fish. But Jonah stays alive in the belly of the fish praying and after three days and three nights the fish spits him out onto dry land. Once he's back on land, Jonah immediately returns to Nineveh to deliver God's judgment to the people. In the end, the entire population of Nineveh repents, making Jonah one of the most effective prophets in the Bible canon.


What would happen if you tried to rebuild the team with the zero players? Our team here was formerly the Chicago Bears. But after trading and cutting every single player on this lineup, we're left at a zero overall and not a single football player. The good news is we have $210 million in cap space, and it's not like we just gave up our players. We got as many draft picks as was humanly possible out of our entire team. 15 first round picks. We have two second round picks, two thirds, three fourths, two fifths, a sixth, and we even have two first round picks in 2025. So some teams talk about tanking or rebuilding, but we really talked about tanking and rebuilding. Now, granted, the fans in Chicago were not exactly thrilled to see all their favorite players leave. All those years they spent watching Aaron Rodgers own them was for nothing. And unfortunately, Bears fans charged the stadium and had been committing arson left and right. Fair to say it's time to relocate this team. Ni Hao, buddy! I'm taking my talents to the Shanghai Sharks. We're headed to Japan. Shanghai's in China, isn't it? It's okay, guys. I'm racist. I'm also confused. I just relocated to Tokyo, but we're still the Bears. Maybe we need some players. It's also time to choose our draft class. I'll be using auto-generated rookies. And normally, the rookies are all wondering, what team am I gonna get drafted by? But let me tell you, Jamie, Eric, Alex, Joel, Joe, Brian, Callaway, Dwight, you guys better start the group chat early and start studying Japanese. Because you're coming to Tokyo. I can tell you that right now. Clearly we're gonna tank this season, but what is gonna happen when I click next week here? We have no players. And we're supposed to be playing the Packers in week one. So it's letting me do it. Oh, you know what? I'm actually shocked at how efficient that was. It automatically signed us practice squad players. So technically we have no players. Our starting lineup, let's see who it signed for us. We've got Matt Ryan, Michael Carter, Trent Surfield, Equinemia, St. Brown, Preston Williams. We basically have just your shittiest team. Casey Hayward, what are you doing over there? Chris Wormley, Everett? All right, well, we've signed 27 players to the roster. We're 0-1. Nobody's shocked there. What's funny is, yeah, we're probably gonna go 0-1-17, but with all the talent we're about to acquire, I wonder if we truly become a superpower in this league, or if it just doesn't work that way. How did we win? How do we win three games? Seriously though, how do we win three games? How do we? I want to know who we beat.  All right, who lost? Who lost to my practice squad? We beat the Washington Commanders, the Caroline. I don't know how we beat the Carolina Panthers, and we beat them pretty bad, 24-7, and we someacked the Packers.  We dropped 38. Wait a minute, can I see that box score, please? How did we do that? Matt Ryan, 262-4 touchdowns. Michael Carter had 67 rushing yards. Equinamia St. Brown was 8-107 in a touchdown. Michael Carter, oh my God, we went off. Okay, this year is a wash for us. We knew it would be a tank year. We go 3-14. That's perfect. At the end of season one, we are 3-14. Most of our players have left or got cut, or we're only signed to one-year deals, but we have Cameron Dantzler, I guess. We have $316 million. And listen, a lot of these prospects are coming our way. I made sure to scout quarterbacks since obviously it's kind of going to be the cornerstone of our squad here. My favorite quarterback who's actually fallen a lot in the rankings is this dude right here, Kyle Calloway. The number one quarterback, at least here, is Eric Irons. So his deep accuracy is A, but his medium accuracy is B. Throw under pressure is B. Short is D. I mean, that's horrible. Dwight Novak looks nasty, too. He's A, C to D medium, A short, A under pressure. So he could be a really good option. But then further down here, Kyle Calloway, look at this, A to B deep, A medium, B short, A under pressure. So he's basically A's and B's. Other than that, the first round pick, Jamie Childress, I think this will probably be my round one pick one. He's projected first. He's a 6'5", 247 speed rusher. His player notes are lengthy. And my favorite part here is he has A block shedding. So he's a speed rusher, so an edge threat. And he has A block shedding already, A tackle. His hip power is B to D. His finesse moves are A. So he's A block shedding, A finesse moves. This guy's gonna be a beast. I'm excited to grab him. So I think it's Jamie Childress. Dwight Novak is definitely one of my quarterback options. I just don't like C to D medium accuracy. When Kyle Calloway is A medium accuracy, B short, under pressure, A to B. This guy is actually probably my favorite. He's 6'6", strong arm out of Texas Tech. You know who else is out of Texas Tech? Patrick Muffraud, Jackson Holmes brother. It is time boys. This is where we rebuilt. Oh my God, we're not actually the first pick. Oh my God, the Seahawks, we had no players. And the Seattle Seahawks made us to be worse than us. How is that even possible? Oh, just don't take Jamie. Don't take Jamie Childress. Okay, this is super weird. The draft appears to be broken because I didn't get to see who they just took. By the way, if you were wondering, the Steelers made the Super Bowl, the Falcons won it. Desmond Ritter was MVP. Yeah, I've never seen that Super Bowl before. All right, round one pick, dude. Did they take Jamie Childress? They did not. Who did they take? It looks like they took the quarterback that was above Dwight Novak. So the Seahawks elect to go quarterback. They leave Jamie Childress on the board. I could pick him up and then potentially I get Dwight Novak.  Technically, I could get both of them. I have enough draft picks, but our very first pick is Jamie Childress out of Miami. The speed rusher. Hidden Dev at least star 89 acceleration, 84 speed. I don't like to see his speed be a little bit higher, but 89 acceleration is amazing. He's going to be an edge rusher. This could be our lead edge set on the squad, maybe. The draft is totally busted though.  All right, up to our next pick. We're round one pick four. Did they take Dwight Novak? The Cardinals were just up. They did not take Dwight Novak. So Novak is still in here. A, A, A, C to D medium. He has elite acceleration, decent speed. A throw on the run. A under pressure. A deep, A short. I think this is our guy. I think we go Dwight Novak here. He's so high up and listen, if one of our late picks and Kyle Calloway is still in there, I do want to take him. Damn, he's fast. Oh, 78 speed. Dude, I'm getting high, high, low speed. He's a really fast improviser QB out of UCF to have 90 excel and 78 speeds kind of counterintuitive. 92 throw power is monster and he's hidden deb too. So that was the right call. At the very least, he's star. All right, so I feel confident that we have a great edge rusher and a great quarterback because they're both at least star. So we can skip past doing another quarterback. What's the next cornerstone to an NFL franchise? We could go Brian Harrell, the power rusher out of Virginia Tech. I don't like his stats nearly as much as Jamie Childress. We could get a stud offensive lineman. This dude, Earl Andrews. Sea pass blocking is kind of mid. Quincy Hawkins got pursuit tackle. Juan Murphy out of Wisconsin. He's a lefty. He's 5'10", 1'77", he's tiny. He's got to be fast if we were going to take him. He's got the ninth, the 40 yard dash. He's not fast enough to be 5'10". So I'm not going to grab him. You know, I actually really like this dude, Annie Moses. He has elite agility and acceleration, which doesn't actually matter, but he placed super well in the combine in almost every single category. He's got B pass block, B run block, and then A to C awareness impact block. Is there anything that's really concerning? I'd say pass block and run block power at C and D is not good. I'm going to take a shot on a tackle here. Hidden dev, come on. Listen, boys, we get hidden dev every single time. We are in business to build this team. But the minute we start getting normal devs, we're going to be in trouble. So those guys will progress damn near as well as a practice squad player. Ooh, we've got, oh my God, we've got like, we have quad, we have back to back to back to back to back picks right here. That's actually really, really good. So we can't, we can't get sniped on anybody. We just take the best players available. I'm going to take Earl Andrews. So we now have two elite tackles. Hopefully hidden dev out of Earl Andrews and 90 strength is a great start, A impact, A to C lead. The rest of that doesn't look too good to be honest with you, but I'm most excited just about the star dev or hidden dev. I assume it's star. Shit, if he wants to pop out as a superstar, I won't complain about it. Juan Murphy is not the guy. I'm not taking him. What about Matthew Gresham, the strong safety out of UCLA? Doesn't seem too fast. Great strength, great acceleration, B hit power. Huh, I don't like him that much. Actually, no, he really does. He has Bs and As in most of these. I'm going to shoot for Matthew Gresham here. I was going to get, I am, every time I see hidden, I'm really excited. So we have so far have only hit hidden devs, but he's 88 speed, 92 Excel, 92 Excel is nice. It's just not very fast for a strong safety. We take Josh boss. He's the second half back in 40 yard dash, but at his pro day, he was the 11th. I wonder if he's actually fast. He's 5, 11, 209 out of Rutgers. He's a receiving back with A to C catching A to C break tackle. Wait a minute. His catching, Travis actually really good. His routes are good. This is an interesting running, but it's like a little Christian McCaffrey. Is that what this is? He's almost got the McCaffrey build. He's just a little too tall. No, this is the McCaffrey build 5, 11, 209. Josh boss. No. That's our first normal dev, but I'm not going to lie. This dude's kind of a dog. 93 speed, 93 Excel is the best intangibles we've gotten so far. He's 22 years old. He could definitely win. Hey, listen, if he wants to go ahead and win offensive Ricky of the year and take that normal up to a star dev, that'd be awesome. But damn, there's our first dev trait with. You guys want to talk about a freak show? Patrick Beckham is a 6, 4 man to man corner. He is huge. I think my concern is his 40 yard dash is not very good. Let's get his speed as good. Acceleration is elite. So we are first DB pickup. We did get the strong safety who was hidden dev. Let's take Patrick Beckham to DB.  Beckham has 95 Excel and 91 speed is great. Especially when you're 6, 4, hidden dev. Quincy Hawkins is kind of staring at me. I'm not going to lie. A pursuit, a tackle. He'd be another outside linebacker. He has elite. Everybody's got elite acceleration. This is crazy. My whole class, but everything else is just not that good. Coverage are bad. So he's just kind of like a tackle. I'm going to take Quincy Hawkins here. Thank you. Quincy Hawkins, 82 speed, 91 Excel, hidden dev. Let's go. Dude, one of these guys got to be superstar. That's what I'm thinking. Okay, so we have round one pick 16 and we don't pick again until round one pick 21. I almost want to be safe and take Kyle Callaway here. Oh, or do I wait? Do I let Kyle Callaway fall to me on the next pick? We really do need a wide receiver, though, or maybe one of these tight ends. Ben Lehmann is a six foot wide receiver out of Oklahoma State. Slow, slow, slow, slow, slow.  What about the tight ends? It's a 6, 3 tight ends, small tight end, but his speed is great. Strength is great. Acceleration is great. I kind of like this. Landry Dunn. Landry Dunn or Alani Gaffney or Mike Petty. Mike Petty's got a lot of A's in there. Alani Gaffney is the fastest tight end out of Michigan. Yo, elite speed, elite jumping. I got to go Alani Gaffney here. Don't be normal Dev.  He's out of the University of Michigan, so I already hate this dude. Boom! 89 speed, 89 Excel, 6-5 vertical threat. Hidden Dev, tight end, Alani Gaffney. Okay, best case scenario this next pick is Kyle Callaway is still available because I really like Kyle Callaway.  Actually, there's three quarterbacks above him that are still available. I just don't get why he's dropping so far. A to B deep, A medium, B short, B on the run, A under pressure. He's damn near already a super good quarterback. I might be reaching while taking him this early, but I want to be protected at the quarterback position. I'm going to draft Kyle Callaway. Dude, I'm telling you man, I don't know what the deal is, although none of these teams really want to draft a quarterback anyway, so 81 Excel, 83 speed, 97.  So I'm going to let him and Dwight know that, kind of just like hang out. We'll see in the draft free cap who's the higher overall. We're also round one pick 23. So that worked out nicely. We got Callaway and now we can pick up one. We have no guards right now. We have no free safety. Dude, Khalil Thomas out of Mississippi State looks really good. I could move Callil Thomas to guard. Look at this dude. A impact, A lead, B pass, B power, B run block. His pass block finesse is horrible. I don't know how much that matters. I'm going to pick up Callil Thomas and move him to guard. Hopefully he's hidden. Dude, I'm on an absolute roll right now. We have drafted one normal Dev player. It's our half back. Our half back is our only normal Dev right now. I mean, it is the first round. They're kind of supposed to be Hidden Dev, but we still have a lot of picks in this first round too. Low key, I probably could have waited on Kyle Callaway, but that's okay. The free safeties are really falling in this draft. Elite jumping, great speed, great agility out of Oscar Hammond. Alton Elston. Elite agility. What about Danny Jackson? I think Oscar Hammond is the guy. We're going to take free safety Oscar Hammond here. I also like him because he's 6'2", but his skills aren't great. A catching, I don't know. Hopefully he's at least a Hidden Dev. Yeah, because his stats aren't going to be very good, but he is Hidden Dev, so he can progress. 91 speed, 91 jump, 91 agility, 86 acceleration. That is about as average of a free safety as you're going to draft. We've got round one picked 29, 31, and 32. Pick 29. I'm just going to... What position do we need? I still need a wide receiver. Here's JR Sweeting of Clemson. He's a playmaker. He's 22 years old. He's 6'3", with elite acceleration. His speed is only good. Oh, I don't like that. I don't like that his speed is good. He's got a good amount of A's up there though. A to C spec, A medium, deep route, C to F, yikes. I'm going to take a chance on this dude, JR Sweeting. Damn it. He's honestly kind of nice though. Actually, he is nice. 92 speed, 94 excel, and he's 6'3". But he's Normal Dev, so my half bag of my wide receiver are Normal Dev right now. That's not great. I technically have no down linemen. I have no detackles or DNs. I just have edge rushing linebackers, which technically I could move them around. I'm going to take... I'm going to take Blaine Meltzer here. He's 21 years old out of USC. Normal Dev, speed rusher, 85 speed, 87 excel, 85 strength. Damn. He's got nice speed and excel, but I was hoping for hidden Dev. Pick 32 here. There's lots of free safeties. There's this corner, Brian Adkins. I pick up another DB here. Marginal change of direction and marginal speed. I can't take you. I can't take you, Brian. I can't take this detackle. Travis Byram out of Miami. Thank you. We're back. 80 excel, 92 strength is great to start with for a detackle. Hidden Dev. We'll see what he ends up being. And our first pick of the second round is pick two. And at this point, I don't want to say it's a free throw because it's definitely not, but we're really just going to be taking some Hail Marys here. Here's another massive wide receiver. 64, 21 left handed out of Tennessee. Gregory Murphy. Okay. His speed is bad. They give it solid. His jumping is elite. His strength is elite. So he's honestly very similar to the guy we just got. So I don't really, I don't know if I want two gigantic wide receivers. I think I probably should be looking for a speed guy. I'm going to take Darius Morris free safety from Wisconsin. I'm really just looking for Hidden Devs at this point and we're not going to get it there. 91 speed, 86 excel. He'll be usable though. We'll still, we'll still rock with him. Look at Mick Petty. This tight end Mick Petty has insane, has A's everywhere. I'm taking him. They're like, like that is not a positional need at all. We don't need a tight end. But wow, I mean, A's hidden Dev. Honestly, what he could turn into is some trading fodder. We could move one of our tight ends of wide receiver if we really wanted to. I say we just look for a really fast wide receiver. You are not a really fast wide receiver. I guess I got to take Dylan Tigner here just because the value is really high. And that's why he's falling because he's normal Dev. 91 speed, 88 excel, 64 very similar to my other wide receiver. With our next pick though, which is basically a back to back. We're super close up here. I just got to take a fast wide receiver. Tyler Oliver has great speed, elite accelerations. That's probably a bit of a reach, but I'm going to take him. I asked for a fast receiver. I got one 95 speed 95 acceleration. That's our return specialist. Usually don't draft a return specialist, but we'll take him. I'm going to make one more pick.  Like I'm not, there's no strategy here. I'm going to take Kailin Wolf out of Oregon State. I wonder how many hidden devs are actually available in these late rounds because he's another normal Dev. Probably just little diamonds in the rough. Oh my God. Does it get any more important than this? The draft recap, we went three and 14. We traded everything in franchise history for picks. And those picks turned into turned into I see so many 70s. Where do we start? Jamie Childress. Our fairy first pick is a monster. 77 overall, Jamie Childress. 84 speed 89 Excel.  Okay, let's go pick my pick Dwight Novak. Dwight Novak is not as good as I thought. He still is hidden Debbie 73 overall. I'm so glad I picked up Kyle Callaway as well. Yeah, 73 overall. I honestly expect him to be a 77 or 78 with how good his stats looked. Manny Moses, the hidden Dev right tackles a 74. Earl Andrews, a 72. So our tackles aren't too strong. Matthew Gresham ended up being an excellent pick. Even though he's a little slow, he starts at a 76 overall. Josh Boss was our normal Dev. Kind of a whiff here. 93 speed 93 Excel is nice, but he's only 72 overall. Patrick Beckham, that DB, who he's a beast. That was a really, really good pick. Patrick Beckham is a 77 overall. Quincy Hawkins was a very good pick as well. 75 overall. Alani Gaffney out of Michigan a 76. I think Callaway is going to be the starter. I knew that cat. Oh, dude, I knew it. I should never have even picked up Novak. I should have trusted my gut and taken some other position because I knew Callaway was a dog. I guess I didn't know Callaway would fall so far though. So I'm really glad that Callaway fell as far as he did. He's a 76 overall and they're both hidden devs. I think Callaway needs to be the starter. Khalil Thomas was a 72. He's who I was going to move to guard. Oscar Hammond, 73. Sweetings a 75 and Blaine Meltzer, 76. Byrooms a 76. These were both huge pickups. Arias Morse is a 75. Mick Petty, that late round tight ends a 74. Dylan Tigner, yeah, he was falling in the draft and I still took them. That was just that was a really bad pick. 67 overall, not much to show for it. Tyler Oliver, nothing great there. Wolf, nothing great. Jalen Harris looks like the the computer picked me a pretty nasty half back. Clifton Northrup, who's actually a higher overall than my first round pit. But he's 87 speed, 91 Excel. So I still kind of like our first round pick better unless he was hidden devs somehow. We got a guard and a center. That's huge. They did pick us up a garden center. We obviously needed both and then Paul Holcomb. Let's take a look around the entire NFL though at all of the picks. The very first pick Eric Irons QB was actually trash. This is who the Seahawks took and he's trash. That's amazing. Barkley, no good. I didn't get him then Novak. Joey Bernal missed on him. That's okay. Alex Holmes, Alex Holmes would have been a slightly better tackle pick, but I didn't have him as an option. So far it doesn't look like I really whiffed on anything. There's none of these guys are guys that I'm thinking I really wanted. Cecil Humphrey's left end out of Oklahoma has 85 speed. He actually looks pretty nice. Juan Murphy wide receiver. I'm glad I passed on him 91 speed. He doesn't look special at all 72 overall. Ben Lehman wide receiver. Nothing special there either 90 speed. He's a 75 overall. He's nice. Julius Davis, George Barton halfback that went to the giant 70 comes out as a 77 overall. That would have been a better pick for me for sure. There wasn't any like crazy ridiculous high overall players in the first round that I missed on. In fact, the highest overall player in the entire draft was Jamal Rayford, a third round tight end that landed with the Jaguars. He's got 88 speed. That's very nice pick. The next highest was Jamie Childress. We got him after that is back up and we got him too. So we got two of the highest overall players in the draft. William Thorne went to the Cardinals, Barton went to the Giants and there's Dalton Haynes, Charles Scott. Gresham went to us. Keenan Charles goes to the Seahawks. Bynum went to us. Blaine Meltzer went to us. Alani Gaffney went to us. Kyle Callaway went to us. We killed it. This is a spectacular draft. I'm serious. How about the fastest player in the draft? Fastest player was Kirk Hoffman, a white, white receiver out of Washington State in the fifth round. Who's this? Ooh, that's a nasty pickup. Steelers got a dog in the fifth round, 72 overall. Then it was Tyler Oliver. It's actually the second fastest. I did get him, but he's only 68 overall. The Sean Young halfback is 93 speed. You know what? We actually got the fastest halfback in the draft. Josh Boss was the fastest halfback in the draft. I can't be too mad about it. Although this Hoffman dude has 99 acceleration, 98 agility. That is like a Hall of Fame speedster. That was actually, dude. That was an immaculate draft. I know I'm technically the bears and wearing a lines jersey.  I'm actually super, super, super impressed with how that draft went. Dude, this actually looks so funny.  Our quarterback and halfback are just the same damn guy. Wait a minute though. Oh my God, Josh Boss, my first round halfback is normal Dev, but the guy that the CPU picked in like the sixth round Northrop is star. I mean, at least star. I hate to say star. Clifton could be a superstar.  Oh my God, we have to start him. He's slow. He's slow, but we have to start him. I am so sorry to my boy boss, man.  Every single one of my tight ends is hidden Dev, but none of my wide receivers are three pieces of my O line. Or hidden Dev. My center and left guard are normal and then defensively by room hidden Dev Melchers normal. Yeah, Quincy Hawkins. Our backers are nice. Our backers are nice. Then at DBs, we got Beckham and Holcomb. We got Cam Dansler, Gresham, Oscar Hammond. Got to start him. If he's hidden Dev, we got to start him over Morse. Somehow Josh Childress is starting twice. That's obviously not supposed to be the case or Jamie Childress. Before I get in here and change a bunch of things that I don't even know if they'll be important to change or not. I'm just going to SIM to midseason. I'm hoping that this will unlock most of the Dev traits of all these rookies. I'll get to see who's star, who's superstar and potentially if we somehow hit the Hail Mary, we could have a superstar X factor in there. It's possible. I've done it one time ever with Randy Stevenson in my first ever rebuild with Houston, Texas. But that was it. That's the only time I ever did it. I also don't understand. I thought I relocated to Tokyo. Like how am I not in Tokyo? Confirm Tokyo.  Oh, wait. Here we go.  It's working this time. I'm going to be the Tokyo dragons.  Whoa. Tokyo, Japan. The dragon's done. Although I don't get it. Why is my logo not changed? I shouldn't I be. Oh, I am the dragons. It actually worked that time. Let's go. Me. How. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. Wait a minute. Not even everybody's unlocked. That's two superstars. Okay.  Moses the right tackle with superstar. Claude Thomas was star. Somehow Andrews got demoted in the depth chart, which that doesn't make any sense to me. He never should have got demoted. Kindly get tired. Andrews is still to be determined. Both of those tight ends we got for star dev. Dude, I wonder if it's worth it to take a guy like Gaffney, who is a 6'5", really fast tight end. Do we take Gaffney and make him a wide receiver? 90 acceleration is route running is not very good, but his run blocking isn't even. I'm going to make Elani Gaffney a wide receiver. It's basically how the chiefs use Travis Kelsey, right? And then Mike Petty can just be our starting tight end because we need like, we need a star dev guy as a wide receiver. And it's really not out of the question. He's only 6'5". There are tons of NFA wide receivers who are 6'5". All right. Moving him to the top, the wide receiver depth chart. We really drafted shitty wide receivers though. Like none of these guys are good. Northrop still hasn't unlocked his depth trait. How many reps are you away? He's closed 365 break tackles. Take it a little bit ahead due to morale. What did I say, bro? This guy was my prodigy. Kyle Callaway is superstar.  Why are you so fat?  We are going to give him tight out. It's actually perfect. It'll work well with Mike Petty. Says we don't have a backup tight end right now.  We don't have a backup tight end right now. Defensively any soup. Oh, I thought, oh, shoot. I thought that was two superstars. This was our very first pick. So if anybody was going to be superstar, it should have been him. Jamie Childress superstar left outside linebacker. He's got the same scan as Alani Gaffney. He actually almost has the same build, 365. He's coming together. Jamie Childress coming together nicely. Superstar linebacker. His team is ugly.  Beckham is star. Holcomb is star. Gresham is star. And Oscar Hammond. We haven't figured that out yet because I do have auto-reordered depth chart on, but that was on purpose. I need some depth chart reordering help. We're two and five. That's not exactly the best, but it's more wins than we had at this point last season. Let's sim up to the playoffs. You know, it'll be nice. So we don't have like a massive plethora of picks for this upcoming draft. We really just have one, but we got to get a wide receiver. We got to get a stud wide receiver or we can sign one of free agency. Obviously our team costs like $0 because they're all rookies. We have 65 million in cap here. Dude, look at that. Dude. Oh my God. The team of literally all college players ends the NSC North in the middle of the pack. We actually did better than the Lions. We're eight and nine. Not bad at all. Let's see how everybody finished any more superstars. The computer is God. The computer is God. That or like Clifton Northrop technically could have won like offense rookie the year. And maybe that's how we got this debt trade upgrade, but I'm 99% sure that you can't get those debt trade upgrades until the end of the season. Like actually it's over. And right now we're at the start of the playoffs. So I'm pretty sure this dude was just superstar. He's an 80 overall. He's got 80. Dude, he's already got a speed boost. I'm so geeked about that man. Andrews keeps getting booted out of the lineup. This makes no sense. He's literally better than all of these guys. Oh, is he technically a left tackle? Oh, here we go. He's a tackle. Let's switch him to Garth. That's my fault. I had him in the wrong position. Now he'll automatically start. Yeah, that makes sense. We actually haven't gotten to find out Dwight Novak technically could be a superstar, but we just haven't seen yet because he hasn't gotten the reps.  If Dwight Novak is a superstar, we could trade him and get some serious stuff out of it. So that could be nice. Our wide receivers are honestly very pitiful right now. And on defense, everybody is unlocked. So the only superstar on defense was our boy, Jamie Childress, but a lot of star devs. And what I really like to see right now is the overalls. All these overalls are like very middle of the pack, very solid. And this is only their first year playing football. So, oh my God. Dude, I switched. I switched our sim playbook to Dallas Cowboys and no wonder Dak always wins MVP. Kyle Calloway. Kyle Calloway best with a third most yards. Granted. Granted. He's not even close to the completion percentages or touchdown interception ratios of the big boys. But damn, that's gotta be offensive. Ricky, the year you eclipse 4,000 yards your rookie year. Rushing. I don't think we're going to be anywhere to be found on this. At least not halfway decent. There's Clifton Northrop almost hit 1,000 yards in his rookie season. He got 10 touchdowns, got into the double digits. Nice work. Our best wide receiver was J.R. Sweeting, who had 1,400 receiving yards and 11 touchdowns. You would think this would have been like a really big season for him, but I mean, he progressed up to an 80 overall, but he's still normal dev.  He's actually nice. 92 speed, 95 Excel. He got some serious, serious upgrades this season. What did he start at? A 75, 74? So he went up six overalls. That's good to see. And there's Tyler Oliver, that speed demon we got. He hit 940 in four touchdowns. Gaffney had 808 touchdowns. Not bad. Mick Petty, 765 and two. And defensively, our best guy was Jalen Harris. I guess it's because he's our middle linebacker? That's concerning how many tackles he got. I probably want those going to somebody else. Gresham had the next most. Then Beckham, all sacks. Everybody have sacks? Travis Byram has four and a half. Meltzer had two and a half, two for Childress. Childress is not getting used how I want him to. What if I moved Childress to right end where Blaine Meltzer is? I think I have to do that. He did not have the season he should have had. I'll give him some time. I'm not going to jump the gun quite yet. Peeking back into this lineup here. It looked like Meltzer was getting sacks and Clellan Farrell was, but these guys like, I got to get Jamie Childress out of this spot. I got to make him a left end. He needs to be going after the quarterback. I'll put him down there with Blaine Meltzer. So Childress is now starting left end and Meltzer is starting right end. I really don't even care. I'll put Wolf at my left outside linebacker. This dude Harris was getting all those tackles. That's crazy. Hawkins is also an edge rusher.  I'm going to make Quincy Hawkins my middle linebacker. This sounds weird. I think I need to do it though.  So now Hawkins is where he's supposed to be in this dude Harris. I guess I'll make you my right outside linebacker. Well, we didn't make the playoffs, but we had a really good season. I'm going to sim this up to the off season. That way we can see who won the awards. I'm assuming Kyle Calloway got offensive rookie of the year. I'd be so shocked if he did it. Here's the 2024 season recap. Oh my God. Wait, that's almost better. That's almost better. Offensive rookie of the year is not Kyle Calloway. It's JR Sweeting, the wide receiver who I was saying the one thing that would make him better is if he was Stardep. Since he won offensive rookie of the year, I'm almost 100% sure he gets Stardep. Like he just gets it for that. I was wrong. I was wrong in the best way possible. Sweeting doesn't get Starr. He went up to a superstar. I'm going to give him this playmaker upgrade. Let's do this. Yo, JR Sweeting. Break tackle, catch and traffic, juke, medium, short and spec catch. Sweeting for the Dragons has abilities. All right. We're going to give him matchup nightmare and reach for it. Why not get a little extra yards? He already went for a 1400 yard season. So Dwight Novak. What do you know? Dwight Novak is Stardep. Turns out Calloway was 100% the call. I'm so glad we made it. We could get tight out here and yeah. I guess I'll go quick draw. It doesn't matter. I don't have an X factor yet. That's huge. It looked like we did not get. We did not get defensive rookie of the year though. So that's kind of bummer. I mean, we have so many rookies and we don't get defensive rookie of the year. So that's a bummer. Holcomb, our CB3 actually regresses in DevTrate. Sodas Cam Danzler and Sodas Hawkins. That is a lot of DevTrate regression. A lot more than we would prefer. So that's not good there. But the good thing is our linebackers look a little depleted. I have a lot of money to sign in free agency. So we can still do that. $185 million available in salary cap. We could get any free agent in the world. I was hoping there would just be some like absolute astronomical free agent available. Um, I mean, we like literally we can sign any of these guys. Here's the thing right now. We still have a normal dev guard. How many more years is Wyatt Teller going to play? Will he give us some good years? Dude in a Wushu Karamoa.   But he's an 88 overall 25 year old superstar linebacker, which is exactly kind of what I'm looking for right now. Let me start with Wyatt Teller. He has almost no interest in moving to Tokyo. But what does he know?  Gonna make him an aggressive offer here. It's got a high offer strength. Hopefully that goes through. And then same thing, a Wushu Karamoa. Weirdly enough, this guy doesn't want to move to Tokyo.  Uh, but we're going to give him a seven year very player friendly gigantic deal. And we'll see if he decides to sign here. That is a lot of money to pay, but we are currently paying just about negative dollars to all of our rookies. So it ain't bad. I'm about to just sign the best two guards in football and let our guys progress like absolute crazy. I'm going to try and grab Antonio. I'm not going to give him a gigantic long deal like everybody else. Let's just give him a two year deal. Let's sweeten it with some bonus.  I'm paying this guy in yen.  He's trying to bang some Asian bitches. Let's go. But Tony, oh, take me home. If we get all three of those guys, this is my perfect free agency. There's nothing else I would want to do. Let's head to the draft. You know, I want to give a lot of credit to early Andrews. This man has played every single position on the offensive line now. He went from tackle to guard to center. Damn. Look at that. Oh, line. We signed, but Tony on white teller, they both are headed to Tokyo. Moses, the draft pick superstar, a little Thomas star and Andrews down the middle. We got Mick Petty at tight end and some absolute bums behind him. Gaffney has regressed. Why do so many players just randomly regress their deb-tree? I don't know if it's like the desire deb-trate thing or what, but it is kind of frustrating because he totally should not be that. But the good news is suiting his superstar. That's amazing. Northrop is superstar too. Callaway is superstar. And honestly, we got to trade Dwight Novak. I mean, what are we getting out of Dwight Novak right now? Pretty much nothing. Then on defense, we do pick up Jeremiah Wushu Karamola, which is amazing. He should get a lot of reps. Then we got Hawking's Harris and this defense looking awesome. Now, I like that we move children down to the D line. The young stud Dwight Novak headed to trade. He's saying, who want me? Okay. The Broncos are already under cap room, so I can't even trade with them. So that's stupid, but they did have interest. Who's interested in my boy? Oh, lions are green interested. Lions, you want to? Lions, I know you've got a nice draft pick. No way. Can we turn Dwight Novak into a round one pick five?  Can we turn Dwight Novak into all of their 2025 picks? Obviously not. Okay. Let's take out five, four. How close are we? No. Three. One and two. No. Just your first round pick. Dude, the Lions are actually going to part ways with this first round pick. Like, they're close already. It's round one pick five. We're turning our round one pick four pick into a round one pick five, which isn't actually that impressive. But the fact that Callaway is so much better actually makes it awesome. So let's, let's sweeten this deal. We'll give him my round six and seven in 25. Okay. They told me to get fucked. I'll give you, we have two first round picks in the 2025 draft already. We've got 11 and 14. I'll offer my second round pick action. High ball of it. Fuck. I probably didn't even need to give that up. But the good news is we now have three first round picks in this draft. We have pick five, pick 11 and pick 14. Let's go baby. All right. Our first pick is a high one and we actually have the draft this time. That's awesome. I, I missed that. I missed that. Uh, I missed those graphics in our first draft. Okay. Not taking a quarterback or a tackle. We don't need any of those positions. We technically could use an outside linebacker.  We have no true middle linebacker. So I'm looking to pick up one of these guys. Either Kai Hardwick, Nathan Gerrard or Braxton Fulton. I think Kai Hardwick is going to be our guy. He'll probably move the middle linebacker. He's got elite acceleration, great jumping.  Total whiff. I don't want to say it's a total whiff. If he's a high overall, he'll be nice, but 83 speed 90 Excel. And our very first pick of this draft is a normal dev player. Although once again, is this because of the desired devs? Like the desired amount of dev traits? I don't know. Our next pick is round one pick 11. Braxton Fulton is still available. If I wanted to double up on backer, but no, I just got to take my L. The best wide receiver available is Kendrick Richards, 5'9 out of Clemson. Elite acceleration, good speed, elite change direction. I think defense could use a little more work. I might want to take a detackle or a safety.  No, I need a DB man. My DBs are not it. Right now I only have one good DB and that's Patrick Beckham. This is Grant Kan out of Virginia Tech. Huh. I don't like his physicals, but a scouting report has a catching A to C man B zone. He's where he needs to be skills wise. Going Grant Kan here. Dude, this draft is a boss. Two normal devs. I absolutely have to get a hidden dev on this next draft. Damn man. And a dude, I don't have another pick until round six. My last pick here is going to be Jose Pitts, free safety out of Ohio State. Please one hidden dev. Dude, there's no way. There's no way I hit hidden dev on like 11 to 12. And then I just, I just full blown with this entire draft. I feel like, I don't know man. Man, maybe I'm just, maybe I'm just dog water.  I think it has something to do with the fact that the game has a desired amount of stars, superstars, superstars, expectors in the franchise. And since there were so many added for my last draft class, that I don't think it's letting me get them. Let's take a look at our draft recap. But I don't think it can be very good. Actually, you know what? Very solid overalls for those first three picks. Kai Hardwick was a horrible first round pick. Dude, I traded away Novak just to get Kai Hardwick. Normal dev 73 overall. That was bad. That was bad. Grant Kan's actually pretty nasty. I'm not going to lie. He's a 75 overall corner already. So he's good and Pitts is a 74. An amazing free agency makes up for a very poor draft. That's at least the hope I have going in to preseason week one here. Who frustrated after that? Very weak draft for us. No doubt, but I'll be honest. I don't think it's going to matter. We're going to progress so well this season. Sweetings already doing amazing as is. Callaway is superstar. We beefed up the O line like crazy with Patonio and Wyatt Teller and then defensively adding a Wusukaramoa.  He's in there. He's going to be playing all hope is not lost in Tokyo. Look at this season 11 and 6. He take on the Cowboys and the wildcard playoffs. This is played in Tokyo. As you can see, I am the home team looks like we got some upgrade players at the end of the season. Jason Taylor and James Matthew two guys. I don't even remember adding to this team. Okay, let's see how the lineups looking at the end of technically the third season, but their second season. Hey, J.R. Sweeting has upgraded a lot. So is Callaway, but it doesn't look like there's any dev trade upgrades. Not that I can see any way. No, nothing, but Childress had a lot of fun. I can tell Karamoa is looking good. Meltzer's playing very solid and Byron that detackle is up to an 86 overall. Beckham's an 86. Kyle Callaway actually passes for less yards this season, but a much better completion and touchdown interception ratio. It kind of makes sense if you're actually winning games, you don't pass that much. I'd imagine Northrop actually went over a thousand yards and he does. By a lot, 1,306 and 10 touchdowns. Josh Boss, our first-round pick, still got five touchdowns. So at least we're using him. Sweeting an awesome season and Gaffney in a thousand yards season as well. Definitely want to use Gaffney. He's really good. McPettie had 11 touchdowns, 10 for Gaffney, 12 for Sweeting. Really distributed the ball defensively. Karamoa getting the tackles. That's what I want. And he had five and a half sacks. Is that the most sacks on our team? Most sacks on our team. Jamie Childress. Yes, the transition of Jamie Childress down to left end was amazing. Five and a half sacks for Karamoa. Five and a half for Meltzer. Five for Byron. Nice. That's amazing for the Dragons. Interestingly enough, though, around the league. Take a look at this, though. Third in passing is the Saints. Rookie, Blake McIntyre out of Maryland. Then Eric Irons. Oh my God, Eric Irons. You guys remember Eric Irons? He was drafted before Dwight Novak. And honestly, I kind of thought he was a boss, but he's playing his heart out. Is he up to superstar? He's still normal Dev playing like that. Oh my God. And look who we find Dwight Novak. I did want to check him with Dwight Novak. See how he was doing. Still star Dev had a decent season with the Detroit Lions. Let's see how this wild card playoff goes. The Tokyo Dragons. Interesting to note, we have zero superstar X Factor players. I mean, it kind of makes sense we just drafted these guys, but you'd think a playoff team would have at least one X Factor. We're going to skip all these moments. Got to let the boys play it out. We start with the field goal. Cowboys scored in return. We score right back. We say, oh my God, are we actually going to fucking, are we going to win this game 14 to 17? Oh, it's actually really close 17 to 17.  We score to get. No, there's no way we win this. It's 20 to 24. I need to watch wild card playoff against the Dallas Cowboys. You can see Karamoa, Jamie Childress. You can see Byrom on that D line. Childress trying to get to him. And there's Beckham, I think with that breakup. Was that Beckham? Dude, we got some dogs on that D line. Some straight up dogs. Second and then Dallas has got two timeouts. Kind of wish he had caught that. I want this clock to tick. Here we go. Third and 10. Childress trying to get home. He hugs the spotted down. It's fourth and 10. They got to go for it. This is the game on the line. I can't believe there's no way to start Super Season, but we are looking really good right now. Rifles outside broken up. Let's go. And I think I think this game is just over fourth and six. Oh my God, wait a minute. We missed that field goal and the Cowboys scored. Shit. Oh my God, wait a minute. Our playoff run could end right now. Callaway, it's time to step up, buddy. 37 seconds. The good news, we have all three timeouts. We just got to get in field goal range and actually make this one.  All fat like that for no reason. Absolutely whiffs it. Wait a minute. Don't whiff this one, buddy. Second and 10. Hux, great. Oh my God, that was to our Super Star wide receiver. That was, um, that was sweetie. Sweetie. I forget his name. Another rifle. That one's snag. Hell of a play. Do you have acrobat on? Cause that was a monster catch. That old line is holding up great against Micah Parsons right now, which is huge play action.  Heaves it. Got him. Got his man. That's field goal range. Oh, are we? I think we're just going to run the ball. Get it where our kicker wants it. I assume that's what we're doing. Yeah, we are. Hand that off to Corthrup. Second and 10 and we're kicking this field goal. Brett Maher, 49 yard field goal. Oh, come on. He already shanked one. Ice. Ice. It's the last name. Brett Maher pins it 27 to 27. Deck with the Hail Mary heave. We're going into overtime. Let's go. Let's go. All right. Let's, let's see the key moments here. Cowboys start with the ball. Oh, no. No, I didn't get to see it. Shoot. It goes too fast sometimes, but I think we're just running overtime. We did 33 and 27. That's the wild card. What a force of tea. I apologize. You guys, it went too fast. Callaway 33 for 42 381. Three touchdowns. Northrop 2.9 yards for Gary is not good, but Sweeting had 118 and Gaffney had 85. Petty had 68. The game winner was a pass to Elani Gaffney. Let's go. Jamie Childress gets an upgrade here. He's going to go up to an 89 overall. That guy's a freak. Guy is a freak. And in the divisional, we're taking on the San Francisco 49ers. Niners start on the board 7-0. Are we going to respond with a score? I think we got, oh, no, we did 7-7. They kick a field goal. We're back on offense. No. Damn, didn't score again. Niners are back up this one. This might be the end of the Cinderella story here. 24-7.  We scored again. I think they're going to score. Damn.  I can't even watch this one. 22-30. Oh my God, we have the ball. It's 22-30. 37 seconds left. It's not over. We have no timeouts. We got to be passing. Nick Bosa. Nick, what a throw from Callaway. But that clock's ticking. We got to go, boys. We got to go. We're in no huddle. We're in no huddle. We had to get in the end zone and we have to go for 2. Go Callaway. Stop dumping it off, buddy. We need an opportunity. That's it, man. Who cares if you throw a pick? 37. Here we go. Callaway. Stepping back in the pocket. Shacks down on a get. It's just, you know, he's a young guy. He's never been in this situation before. He doesn't know what to do. But damn, I'm not happy with him right now. Laser over the middle and that's going to be the ball game. I don't think we get one more playoff here. Maybe we do three, two, final play or playoff run. There were five Niners on that. And honestly, it couldn't have even been a touchdown anyway. Some questionable play calling there. It's a weird glitch. You have to quit out, but it saves it. You'll see. I lost that game 30 to 22. And it'll, it'll save all the snap or, or it'll dashboard you in franchise, but I think it still saves it. Yep. L 30 to 22. Honestly, I didn't even expect to make the playoff. So I'm happy that we were able to do anything. Chiefs win the Super Bowl Big Shocker, but the MVP is Neil Leonard. Offensive Ricky the year is Blake McIntyre. Defensive is Mike Smith. And at the start of free agency, we have $127 million in cap space. So why don't we just go in a Super Bowl, boys? How about that, huh? Damn, not a lot of high overall players. The best player is Ronnie Stanley, who I don't even need him at all. That's kind of a bummer. Evan Angrum is a superstar X factor, but I don't need him. Hey, as much as I would love to pick these guys up, none of these guys I need, I guess I could take Jermaine Pratt because he's an 82 overall. Yeah, I'm going to pick up Jermaine Pratt on, I'll just give him a two year deal. I'll make it nice and expensive. So he signs and should be a good backer for us, but none of these players we need at all. We just got all this money. We're just sitting on it. I feel like Marcus Jones would be a pretty nice signing to sweeten this deal for him a little bit. I'm sure he'll sign. I just be throwing numbers. We're, we're so breaded up. We just throw numbers at people. I'm also going to try and get a money hooker.  They're all right. They're developing nicely, but they're all right. We can use a little bit of help. Loki, I'm going to get Jake Elliott too because Brett Maher missed a massive kick against the Cowboys. So let's make our kicker a little bit better. We're just playing with monopoly money out here. Got a really deep first drum pick in this draft. So I'm not too crazy about scouting this year. We really have this round of pick. They're around four pick. I'm picking up the six three zone corner out of Washington. I want to give Beckham some help over there. I don't know though. I'm just like, oh, I was literally just about to say I was really worried that I couldn't get any more hidden devs, but with our round one pick 27, that's a deep pick. We get an incredible corner. 93 speed, 91 Excel change the direction agility jumping are all great. He's six foot three. He's hidden depth. That was a very nice pick for the strap. That's pretty much the only guy I really could get. So we'll take it. The 2026 rookies Juan waters. That was an amazing pick. Uh, CPU got us a quarterback on a Jackson state. Got us John Woodward detackle and Spencer Holliman. Nothing special there, but this is a dog 75 overall nine degree speed. I'm happy with Juan waters though. Heading into 2026. Mick Petty Callaway. What? Oh my God. Callaway is the next factor.  He's such a beast. Callaway. I'm going to give him a scape artist. I don't really even know what that'll do in a sim, but whatever. Give him fearless protected gunslinger inside dead.   Look at Kyle Callaway. The chubby six foot six. Texas tech quarterback 98 throw power 94 deep 93 men. His short accuracy is still really bad. Weirdly. I don't know how he has not upgraded that yet. Northrop superstar. Sweeting is obviously superstar. Mick Petty. Mick Petty out of nowhere goes up to a superstar. He's got deep out elite arm bar. Let's give him a bruiser and a route apprentice. Why not? Defensively anything crazy? No, but Woodward. Interestingly enough, Woodward is a hidden dev. Amani Hooker does sign with us and so does Jermaine Pratt. So happy to have both of those guys. Kai Hardwick is progressing nicely. Seems like a waste to get Amani Hooker though with Gresham being as good as he is. Marcus Jones does sign with us. So the Marcus Jones signing was probably our best free agent signing because you've got Beckham, Marcus Jones, then Cam Danzler. But where's the boy Juan Waters? Juan Waters looks like he doesn't even make the depth chart. We have too many good players. We need to trade. We need to trade. So Darius Morse, the superstar free safety who's very young is actually not playing right now because our current starting free safety is Oscar Hammond. Additionally, Juan Waters is not playing because we have so many studs in there. I did just draft him, but what would we really pick up here? What if I gave up Morris Waters in my 2027 second round pick? Do you think we could get an elite wide receiver? Let's remove him. Let's actually put in. Now this is looking real weird, but show me my DBs. So the Dolphins are slightly interested in Marcus Jones and my round too big. Darius Morse, they're not interested in. I'm trying to find somebody who's interested in Darius Morse. Don't look like anybody needs a free safe. How Morse is such a dog. Somebody wants him. It's a superstar free safety. I'm wondering if we could get like, oh Jesus, look at the cap room on these teams. A negative, but a billion. You think we can get Chris Olave off the Saints? I want another wide receiver because Sweeting is our only ability wide receiver right now. And we're literally not even using any of these guys. We did just sign Marcus Jones. I know that, but Juan Waters can 100% replace him because Waters is going to be star and he can definitely progress. I wonder if they'd take them. I'm just going to do these two straight up. What does this do for me? They want significantly more. They really don't want to move Olave. First to second Marcus. What about Marcus Jones in a first round pick? Oh, they're actually so close. I'm going to give him my second round or two. I did it again. I high balled the trade. I don't care. I'm going to win a Super Bowl this year.  Marcus Jones and picked up in free agency and immediately trade him.  But we just added 94 overall superstar Chris Olave to this team, which is exactly what I want for my boy. I actually keep my superstar Darius Morse. So let's move Waters up in the depth chart to DB2. And I could even move Darius Morse. Darius Morse is good, man. I'm just going to leave Darius Morse where he is. No teams want the free safety. So I guess I'll just hang out to it. Eventually, I guess I could take him over to strong safety, but Imani Hooker I think is our best bet over there for now. Shit's looking good, boys. Shit's looking really good. I think it's our Super Bowl year. Especially with the addition of Olave, Callaway has so many options.  We have a 95 offense, a 92 overall and an 89 defense, which is weirdly the exact same as our matchup, the Lions, but I went 15 and two. That is the best record I've ever had in a sim. Callaway is up to a 98 overall. Okay, let's take a look at this lineup before we go into this wildcard playoff game. Callaway is damn near 99. Northrop's down here 99. Olave is a 99. So Olave seems like he was a very nice pickup. O-line is still beautiful. Wyatt Teller and Batonior is still happy to be here.   I'm happy to have him. Juan Waters, 85. Glad that we traded Marcus Jones. That was a good call. And Hammond and Imani Hooker. Shit, man. We even got Jake Elliott at kicker. Y'all, we even got a good kicker. And hey, man, remember when we drafted our boy Oliver? We said he was the return specialist. Well, he's still in there doing his thing. 95 speed, 97 Excel. Not to mention I have like 100 bazillion dollars in cap space. Like I literally could sign the whole NFL right now if I wanted to. Stats around the league. Kyle Callaway, 4,600 passing yards and an absolutely absurd, massive difference. Touchdown interception, 45 to four. He is fourth in the NFL in passing yards. Rushing, Northrop and another thousand plus season, but this time with 16 touchdowns. Olave gets 14, 70 and 11. Petty, 961 and eight. Gaffney, 912 and eight. And Sweeting. Sweeting is a little upset about the acquisition of Olave. He definitely took a step down, but still 10 touchdowns. And I think he's probably just happy that the Tokyo Dragons are 15 and two. Defensively Pratt gets 131 tackles. Very nice free agent signing. Byron with 10 sacks. Meltzer with six and Childress with five. Wildcard playoff. It's actually crazy though that the Lions are also at 92 overall. And in the wildcard, we beat the Lions. Callaway goes to 306 yards and a touchdown. Nowak is 162 and a touchdown. It really wasn't a close game, so I'm speeding through this. Our next matchup is the San Fran 49ers. They're at 94 overall. The divisional playoff. Dude, this Niner team looks damn good. Iuk's an X factor. Bosa's an X factor. Fred Warner's an X factor. The divisional round out trots Callaway and is... But who is that? Who is that quarterback? It's not Brock Purdy, is it? It's definitely not Brock Purdy. Niners do not score on the opening drive. We hit a field goal 3-0 and make that 10-0. Niners score 7-10. It's our ball once again. We don't score once again. There's a lot going on here, but there's not a lot of scoring. They go for on fourth. They don't get it. This is a defensive game. Ooh, we're back on the board with another field goal. It's 7-13. San Fran's got the ball. Oh, that is Brock Purdy. Oh, and he throws a mallard. Wait a minute. This game's not over though. 7-13 right now. Damn, Kittle was open. We've got a drive here to end the game. We're in the red zone and we take a field goal. That's a nine point lead though. Oh my God. San Fran offense couldn't do a thing against us. Brock Purdy really struggled. 18 for 28, a touchdown. Actually, I take it back. Kyle Callaway did not have a great game either. There was just all defense there. Northrop had a solid game. McCaffrey had a solid game, but he fumbled. It's got to be a big part of it. Ayuk was 8 for 142. One touchdown for each of us, but we had three field goals. Shout out Jake Elliott. Yo, and the NFC championship is 2-15 in two teams. Ficking on the Dallas Cowboys. God, you see the Cowboys so much in these sims. Dak Micah CD opening drive. The Cowboys score. We score ourselves. Damn, we got a safety. A touchdown and a safety. Cowboys get another field goal. It's 16-6 right now. Oh my God, we crushed. Oh wait, never mind. They're going for an onside kick. Looks like we got it. 23-13. Looks like we're going to score again. 30-13. 30-20. They're going for another onside kick. Hey, they kept scoring, but we were just always 10 points ahead. This Tokyo Dragons team is absolutely nasty. I've never actually had a team kind of just walk through the playoffs like this. 30-20. I usually like step into watch 19 for 24 and two touchdowns. Northrop had two touchdowns and Gaffney. Gaffney was our guy 7 for 87. Here it is, boys. Let's take a look at the yearly awards. Oh, Callaway is second in MVP voting. Dak wins it, but we got the last laugh because we just beat the Cowboys. Coach of the year, Mike McCarthy. Defense of rookie of the year. That's my guy. Juan Waters is the defense of rookie of the year, at least in the NFC. Best QB is Dak. Running back is Bijan. Wide receiver is CD-Lam. O-Line, Aaron Banks. B-Line, Micah, Brian Burns. Damn, I was going to get something in there. But Juan Waters, dude. Round one pick 27 is my boy. And their sumo here is against the 10-7 Buffalo Bill. What would happen if a team had absolutely no players? Well, they would develop into one of the most disgusting teams Tokyo has ever seen. Superstar X-Factor, Kyle Callaway. Superstar X-Factor, Mick Penny. What? When did this happen? This dude's only 23.  Olave, Northrop, Sweeting. And on defense, of course, Hammon, Morse, Karamoa, Childress, Byram, Beckham, Waters. Come on. It's the Super Bowl, baby. 92 of all dragons take on the Bills. Starting this game out with a touchdown. But damn, I think the Bills are going to do the same. 7-7. We're marching into the red zone and we punch it in. And we turn them over and we're still in the red zone. 21-7. But they score right back. 14-21.  Whoa, whoa, whoa, cancel the sim. It's 17-21. The two-minute warning just went by and the Bills are looking like they might punch this in. Oh, we stopped him. Oh, my God.  James Cook is an inch short. Oh, they're passing. Jamie Childress, boom. Jamie Childress gets home. Why are they passing? Oh, my God, Seahawks fans. Just no one learned their lesson. Now they're in a big pass set. Josh Allen, what do you got? Josh Allen drops back, throws. He does catch. But it's fourth and goal from the 7. They have to go for it. They have no choice. This is the Super Bowl on the line. I cannot believe they just passed that ball. That was Dustin Knox who caught that. James Cook's in the backfield. Stefan Diggs is out there with a linebacker on him. Play action. Josh Allen unloads. One, one waters. I think that's one waters. Oh, it's not. It's, it's Hammond. It's Oscar Hammond our free safety. The star free safety, Oscar Hammond ends the Super Bowl. That's why you run it on the one. Well, I shouldn't say that. This game isn't over. The Bills have all their timeouts. This game is not over. Cole Thrup, who's going to get this handoff right here. Take it for four and that's an immediate timeout from the Bills. We expected that. Yes, that stretch. Oh, my God, it's free. Nevermind. Got absolutely bottled. Wait a minute, boys. This game ain't over. That was some weak running though. I got to say we're more of a passing team. As you can see here, this game is not over. Oh, Oscar Hammond is going to be so pissed. It was an okay punt, but it was really solid coverage. So they can't take it out. All they can do is flag it down. They have no timeouts, but the Bills do take over right here. 45 seconds left. Oh, big pass rush. Children's and I think that's Meltzer second and 24. Oh my God. And it's no huddle. Wait a minute. That might be ball game. That was such a big play. What are we running? What are we running? Stefan Diggs pulls another Minneapolis miracle. And I think the Red Dragons are, I think we're going to be ringless. They have no timeouts left. This game's almost over. Oh my God. We have three timeouts in a field goal. We'll take us to overtime. So it's still not over. We are going to choose to take that out. I don't like the decision. Yeah. That just burns clock and you don't even get out to the 25. Come on. Play action. Big heave. You got Olave. Callaway instantly rifles that ball. Why? You got a clean pocket. You got a great old line. Just let those routes develop. You got to take everything right now.  Come on, Callaway. Deep ball. Cut. Cut. Oh my God. I thought he was going to try and go end zone, but he steps out.  Wait a minute. We can go overtime. Come on. Drills it. Huh. Bro, Jake Elliott. They drills it. Over time, the bills start with the ball. Second and 10. Third and 10. Oh, and they complete for 11. Three yard rush. Second and seven. Eight yard rush. John Mechie, big reception. Third and 11. This is a massive stop. And it's a deep field goal too. So we just got to get the stop right here. Play action. Oh, through the middle. They're on a field goal range. Byroom. The de-tackle. Oh, biggest play of the game. Biggest play of the game right there. Bass is coming up for a 63 yarder in the bowl. You're lying.  Did he pin that? He missed. I couldn't tell. He missed. Oh my God. All we need is a field goal to win the Super Bowl. And we take over from where they kicked it. So we're almost in field goal range. Hell yeah. Go. Go Colt Thrup. Second and three. Northrop, whatever. Dude, we just keep running this ball. And Jake Elliott comes out and buries it in his ball game. Another run. We're really not a run team, but he's moving very nicely right now. Right up the middle hat-back dive. Super smart play calling and a broken tackle from Northrop. Second and three. Clock is ticking. The Bills. Bills can do nothing, but sit and watch. As we damn near, what are you doing? What are you doing? Why? Don't do that. You win with a field goal. Do you not understand that? I swear to God, Callaway. Laser. What are you doing? Are we trying to lose? Not only did you try that once, but you tried it again.  Second and eight. The Bills call a timeout. I don't know why they call a timeout because it's the Super Bowl. This game can't end until there's a winner. The good news is we should probably- I was going to say we should probably be able to hold here. Oh my God, I don't even want to watch. Patrick Beckham with an interception. Patrick Beckham with an interception. I didn't get to watch it. I was simming the moments. I was really scared the Bills were just going to win it right there and I really didn't want to watch that. But damn, Shifty running out of Josh Boss. And there's Northrop right there. Guys, see, you're doing it now. Again, you're doing the smart thing. You're running the football. They're trotting Jake Elliott out. It is a- it's a pot shot. It's an easy one. It's money. Super Bowl I've ever been a part of. And the Red Dragons. Oh, they make it through. Let's go. There's that little glitch here where when I'm watching it, I don't get to see the confetti, but I do get the win. Let's go. Super Bowl 61 goes to the Tokyo Dragons. The MVP is Clifton Northrop. Damn. Bond Waters wins defensive rookie of the year at the entire NFL. And that is what would happen if you had absolutely zero players on your lineup. I like it a lot. Look at this team, boys. Look at this team. So many legends. So many absolute legends. All right, boys. That is all. We won the Super Bowl. Hey, I love you guys. Thanks for watching as always. And I'll see you in the next video. Peace.


Hey, what's up guys? It's Isaac and welcome back to the Daily Disciple channel today. I'm going to be digging into the problem with the purity movement and I know I've done videos on purity before. So notice that this video is not called the problem with purity. There's a big distinction there and you'll see that as we go along today. Recently, there's been kind of a falling out of a very popular pastor and author, Joshua Harris, who wrote I Kiss, Dating, Goodbye. And because of this kind of falling out, a lot of people have just kind of reexamined what was known as kind of the purity movement of the early 2000s. Just kind of, okay, what happened? This guy was one of the leaders of it and all of a sudden he leaves kind of the faith. He divorces his wife and what's going, what happened kind of thing. So I wanted to kind of dig into a little bit more what was what happened in the purity movement? What were some of the issues with it and how can we learn from it? So that's what this video is and let's jump into it. So one of the problems with the purity movement was that it promised successful relationships as the reward for being pure. It was more concerned with the seemingly pragmatic benefits of purity that were supposed to be this idea that, oh, you wouldn't be emotionally hurt anymore and you wouldn't have emotional baggage if you were pure. These were pragmatic benefits that they kind of elevated to the point where they were just kind of launching these off as like, hey, this is why you do this. This is, these are reasons why you should be pure because then you won't be emotionally hurt. You won't carry baggage. You know, your relationships will turn out well. This is the reward for being pure is a successful marriage.  And I'm sure as you can identify here that that statement is completely misguided because nowhere in the Bible does it say, oh, look, if you're pure, your life's going to turn out perfectly.  That's not what it says. And we ought not be pure simply for the pragmatic benefits such as, okay, maybe perceived pragmatic benefits because these things don't don't always happen. It doesn't always turn out perfectly. Sometimes there is emotional hurt and emotional baggage and relationships do turn out badly even when people are pure. But why are we pure? Why are we pursuing purity? Is it because of all the things that we can get from it for ourselves or is it because is what God asks us to do in following him? That's a big distinction because if we're motivated out of a love for God and a love for others seeking to do what God has commanded, that we're going to do that. We're going to be pure. We're going to seek purity, right? In our relationships, we're going to seek righteousness and godliness in our relationships because we love God and we love others. But that's not motivated out of, oh, I can't wait to get that perfect wife or perfect husband or that perfect relationship just because I'm pure and I'm doing everything right and it should turn out right because if I do my part, then God does his part and it turns out perfectly because that's not how it works and that's not what God has promised to close off this major problem with the purity movement. I just want to say that as we're seeking to be pure and what we can learn from this is that our purity as we're seeking to be pure in our relationships and what does that what does that actually mean? Well, we can look in the Bible where it says, look, Jesus says whoever looks at a woman to lust after is already committed adultery with her in his heart. And we can use that as a guide and saying, oh, look, God's standard is a lot higher than our standard. We want to be pure of thought and physically as well until marriage. And so as we're seeking to be pure in that, it's motivated out of a love for God and wanting to follow him instead of, oh, well, if I do everything the way I'm supposed to. If I'm pure, then my relationships will turn out well and I'll have a successful marriage and I'll have, you know, all this, I'll have no emotional baggage and there won't be any hurt and any of these kind of things, it shouldn't be motivated out of that. Another major problem with the purity movement was that it taught people, especially girls, that their worth and their identity was found in their purity. Thus, if their purity was lost, so was their worth, at least in the context of relationships. Statements like girls, you'll have a better chance at finding a Christian guy, a good Christian guy if you're pure. And you can see how that, how disordered that thinking is. Once again, a lot of the problem with the purity movement is that it's so man-focused as opposed to God-focused.  Or our purity is that which gives us our worth, which isn't true. And purity is not about, oh, well, you know, you'll find a good Christian guy, a good Christian girl if you're pure. That's not what it's about. It's about God. It's about honoring God. The problem with the purity movement is that we use purity as a means to get what we wanted. And we use purity to hold over people's heads and say, look, if you're not pure, then you're not worth something. You're not as valuable as somebody, as somebody that is pure. We became Pharisees and we began holding over the standard of purity over people.  So it's not a matter of law and it's not a matter of, look, I need to do these things in order for these things to happen in my life. No, it's about this is what God has commanded. I'm going to follow him because I love him instead of I'm going to use this thing. Purity as a means to get what I truly want a self-centered focus to just wrap up this idea that our identity or worth is found in our purity. I just want to say that our identity is not found in our purity. Just as it's not found in our impurity, our identity and our worth is found in who God says we are new creations in Christ. And he has transformed our hearts. So it's not about, oh, man, I'm pure. Therefore I am the top dog. I am, you know, the best out of all the people or conversely, oh, I'm impure. Oh, man, I've made mistakes and now I'm the lowest.  I'm garbage. I'm nothing. I'm not valuable. Nobody wants me. Both those lines of thinking are wrong, but that is what the purity movement has produced. So what I want to encourage you guys towards is not let's jump on the bandwagon of the purity movement. And yeah, we should all be, you know, pure so then our relationships turn out well and then we live happy lives. No, let's pursue purity because we love God. Let's pursue purity because we want to honor him. Let's pursue purity because we love other people. Well, those were my thoughts on the purity movement. Let me know what you guys think down below. I did a bunch of research and thinking about this topic and I hope it was beneficial to you guys as well. Also, I want to thank all my patrons on Patreon.

Okay, then we do have a lot of heating with ground heat. What is not really heat, it's rather relative to, well, run a heat pump. And there are two different types of this, the very deep geothermal. This is where you really have very high temperatures. That's big projects, not for the eco-house, but for eco-houses. Some people have near-the-surface heat pumps and this is something where we have to watch out for cutting through aquifers where aquifers, a dirty one and a clean one can be mixed. So there are some risks in that and I'm bringing this up here, not because I like this so much, but for being careful with this type of technology. Cutting 20 meters into the ground is, well, intruding into aquifers and the aquifers are very, very important, we have to protect them. And if many houses are simply cutting through and dirty water from the surface can enter right away into 20 meters deep water, what is normally having a filtering time of 20, 30 years and suddenly there's a shortcut, this is something we should really avoid.


of the Second Marine Division. We're now embarking on a full-scale amphibious operation after many months of intensive training. In sports, our combat loaded. The ships of the Navy and Coast Guard form our convoy. Squadrons of carrier planes cover us in the sky. Several days from our destination, the destroyer brings us sealed orders. Don't belong now before we know who we're bound. The relief map of our objective is broken out. A fortified island of Betio and the Taro Airtel. A very important Jap air base on the outer fringe of their Pacific defenses. Our platoon leaders started explaining the terrain to us. By the time they were finished, we knew that island and its reefs as well as we knew our own backyards. We built more machine gun ammunition. Check and test fire all weapons. Exercise helped to relieve the tension. Navy and Coast Guard coxons received last minute instructions on formations, rendezvous areas, and departure times. Services are held in the last evening before D-Day. We liked listening to Father Kelly. He'd been with us at Guadalcanal. He had a way of saying what we wanted to hear. And we're killed the following morning. We are ready. Before daylight, we're over the side into amphibian tractors and landing boats. Vessels open fire for four solid hours. They pound Taroa with high explosives. When the ship stopped firing, the Navy planes would take over, bombing. And again, according to plan, the planes withdraw and the ship's batteries open up again. Over four million pounds of explosives have been dropped on the island. It didn't seem possible that anyone could live through that environment. Machine guns constantly strafed our assault waves. Each time a new crew took over, one of our planes scores a direct hit. The island, we have the feeling that the show is just about over. There doesn't seem to be any organized resistance. However, we're taking no chances. Suddenly, we're met by a heavy machine gun and mortar fire. It takes a heavy toll of our boats and men. It doesn't stop us. Across the fringing reef gives protection to a lot of our boys on the way in. Pretty good toehold on the beach, but jet fire pins us down for hours. The facilities are pretty high. But as we found out later, blood plasma saves a lot of lives. Reinforcements arrive. We start moving up. It's easy knocking those jabs out of their positions. They're hidden in trees behind revetments, buried pillboxes, bomb proofs, bunkers. Our rifle fire is deadly. And the mortars getting them out of places like this, we can never be sure where their snipers are placed. We take it slow, easy. This bunker is giving us plenty of trouble. We have orders to clean it up. Swim out to our wrecked amphibians and set up machine guns. The officer of the assault troops confers with his staff. One of our medium tanks remains in operation.  Motor squads continue to hammer enemy points of resistance. It's time we know the jabs are licked. They must know it too. They're still strong resistance. Nip suicide snipers tie themselves up in the trees and take pot shots at us. We hit them, but they don't fall. Just die and hang there. We're going to attack on the airfield. Another Marine goes out after him in a jeep under heavy machine gun fire. There's constant activity. Amphibians tow in fresh supplies, food, ammunition, guns. As the battle moves across the island, the chaplain's assistants tend the dead, removing the lower identification tag and leaving the duplicate on each Marine so there'll be no mistake later on. Generals Holland Smith and Julian Smith commanding the force and division. Admiral Harry Hill commanding the task force. Sometimes we actually have to dig the jabs out of their holes. The island is infested with buried pillboxes. Many of them still crawling with jabs. These bunkers were so constructed that heavy shelling and demolition charges failed to crumble them. Many of them were over 20 feet deep. Our first prisoners were then carried by stretcher to the boats. With them always at the Navy Hospital Corman and Navy doctors and surgeons. Transport, the steel litters are lifted from the barges and lowered into the hold. They're taken to the ship's hospital. Not a second is lost. Our Marine dead. This is the price we have to pay for a war we didn't want. And before it's over, there'll be more dead on other battlefields. Board ship for Marines killed in action. Just to make sure they're not concealing weapons, the prisoners are lined up in their clothes cut away. New ones later from their own dumps. Everyone's defending force is dead. None escaped. Tokyo once boasted that it would cost 100,000 of our men to take terror. We lost less than 1,000. But jabs over 4,000. A wounded Jap soldier. We took very few of these. Most of our prisoners were Korean laborers. One of our officers captured these jabs from a disabled landing boat. Prisoners carry their own wounded to the pier for evacuation. Captured Jap water. This is the first chance the boys have had to war since they got on the island. Gunfire from our warships knocked these big guns out early in the bombardment. These were English vickers guns captured by the Japs in Singapore. One of their many light tanks. This was the Jap command post, built of reinforced concrete several feet thick. That building was built to withstand plenty and did. We finally took it with TNT and flamethrowers. The fighting was still going on at one end of the island when the sea bees landed with their heavy equipment. They set to work clearing the airstrip even while we were fighting for it. It was just 24 hours after the sea bees had started to work. The second one lands one minute later. We welcomed the pilot to our new home. It was our first chance to thank those guys for the swell job they did for us before and during the attack. The E-plus-4, our relief came in. Maybe you think we weren't glad to see them. It was new from the first no matter how tough the going was that we take the island. Just the same the day the colors were run up on this palm tree and flew for the first time over Tarawa. We got all up in our throats. We were mighty proud.

Yma, mae'n gweithio ar gyfer'i gweithio, ond mae'n gweithio ar gyfer. Noss County away, the first game of the season against a really good first division team, extra time, 1-0. We got the Watford away, very, very good championship team, went late in the game for beaten 2-1. Burton at home, 2-0 down, the character of the team that day was kind of mean Stephen at such a young thing. We've got a decent group of lads here, came through, Stephen Derby scored a tremendous strike in the top corner. We had about 10 bounces before he got in. Wigg in the way, you know, night that was, and I think if that was the only night the club had had in this competition, I think we'd have been pleased because it was such a great night with 5,500 supporters there. And I'll never forget looking at Martinese's face like that in the tech area. And he was shocked, not only the intensity of our supporters, but the desire and the commitment of our players to win that night. It was an outstanding performance. And obviously then the Arsenal game at home, you know, it was a frosty old night, typical northern night cold. And Arsenal-Bengar came up with his full team. And, you know, I'll never forget this with three minutes to go when they're equalised in the extra time. We had to ask a group of players who'd give us everything to go again. And the commitment and desire they showed, let me tell you, to take a team to penalties at world-class players was outstanding. So then we drew Aston Villa, which was a draw he wanted. Another team with an array of attacking talent, 3-1 at home, went away. Those of you there, when they were waving their flags before the game, it was like, this is going to be a tough night. We got the lad to the dressing room at half-time and said, come on, lad, we can do better than that. And they went, yeah, we can. And they raised the game again and got through to Wembley. So the first club to get through from the fourth Tiffings football to a Wembley final is now standing achievement. So I'd like to order clap, order place. Next thing we came to today, and listen, we're all honest. We'd love to be here and be saying that we've won the cup, or we came here and we had a really tight game. But it wasn't to be. We came up against the team on the top of the game. Who have beat Premiership teams 4-5-0 on a massive pitch on a great surface. And they played great, and we've got to give them credit for that. If we've got the dressing room at 1-0 down, we may have had a rally up in the second half. We did a little bit, then we conceded a goal.  And I've got to tell you the story, because I've told a few people that we're now 3-0 down. The penalty is going to make it 4. So I said to the ref at the end of the game, I said, come on, ref. That was a yellow card all day. No problem, no more than that. And he said, Phil, if you'd have come back and beaten us 5-4, I'd have had an egg on my face. I said, really? I said, we're playing against the Premiership team. We haven't really had that many attempts and goals. And you were worried that we were going to come back and beat you 5-4. So really, I think he could have used a bit of common sense in that situation. I was ashamed for Matt, who's been obviously an inspirational player for us this season. The outstanding part of the day for me was the Bradford City supporters. With 20 minutes to go, the way they backed the team, I thought, was absolutely outstanding. And I remember when we played Wigan, and I kept the dressing room at the end of the game, and said to the lads, look, the support we had today is why we all came to the club. Because the potential of this club is massive, and the backing we've had. I think we've seen it again today. This club is absolutely massive. We've got unique fans, and that really makes us want to drive on. So the supporters deserve a special round of applause today. Finally, just like to say that we've got 15 games left, and we are going to have a major charge up at these last 15 games. Everyone, we've got a squad capable of getting on a good run, and we're going to have a real go at it. Every single game, we're going to play it like it's our last game. We're going to run harder, we're going to tackle harder. In the opposition, we're going to play in a positive frame of mind in every single game. And if at the end of the 15 games we haven't got where we want to be, we'll hold a hand up. But it's really important, and I want all the lads to listen to this, that we are on it. To have a few beers tonight, but on a Tuesday morning when you come and train in, forget this cup run, it's been great. We are on it, and Dagmur Redbridge at home on Wednesday night. Better be ready for us. Well done, boys.


Hello, and welcome to the screencast where I'm going to show you how to use a spreadsheet to make numerical derivative estimates using the forwards, backwards, and central difference estimates. I've got an Excel spreadsheet open here with some data entered into it. However, everything you're about to see in this video can be done using Google spreadsheets, open office calc, numbers, or most other spreadsheets without any change in what you type. So, again, I have a function here called f of x, and it's not a formula or a graph, it's just a collection of seven data points. And notice that the x values happen to increase by five units each. So let's estimate f prime of 10, that's the value of the derivative of f at x equals 10. First of all, using a backwards difference. The derivative is estimated by an average rate of change between two points. For the backwards difference, I'm going to use as my two points, x equals 10 as one of the points, and then choose the closest x value that is behind that point as my second one, hence the name backwards difference. In this case, that's x equals five. So we're going to estimate this derivative for x equals 10, and to do that, I'm going to click on cell C4, which is in the row for x equals 10. Then since I'm going to have Excel calculate something, I'm going to first type an equal sign. And then type in the formula for the average rate of change from x equals five to x equals 10. As you remember, this is a fraction, and so I'm going to start with an open parenthesis for my numerator. What goes in the numerator is f of 10 minus f of five, and notice I'm clicking on the cells where f of 10 and f of five are located. Then I'm going to close the parenthesis, put in a division symbol, then open up another set of parenthesis for the denominator, and compute 10 minus five, again by clicking on the cells that hold 10 and hold five, and then close the parenthesis. Hitting enter at this point gives me the result, and that's the backwards difference approximation for f prime of 10. To get the forwards difference approximation for f prime of 10, I'll go click on cell D4 and have Excel calculate the average rate of change from x equals 10 to the next point forward from x equals 10 in the table, which is x equals 15. So click on that cell D4, type equals, open parenthesis, and then f of 15 minus f of 10. Again, I'm clicking on the cells containing those values. Close the parenthesis, put in the division symbol, open parenthesis for the denominator, and then 15 minus 10, then close the parenthesis and hit enter. And this is the forwards difference approximation for f prime of 10. Since we're in a situation where there's a data point in the table both in front of and behind x equals 10 at the same distance, namely x equals five and x equals 15, we can also use the central difference approximation for f prime of 10. To calculate this, I'm going to find the average rate of change from the point before x equals 10 to the point after x equals 10. So I'll go to cell E4, type equals, open parenthesis, f of 15 minus f of 5, close the parenthesis, put in the division symbol, open the parenthesis for the denominator, 15 minus 5, close parenthesis, and then hit enter. And that is the central difference approximation to f prime of 10. So I've cleared the screen off so I can show you why you might want to use a spreadsheet instead of a calculator to do this. Since spreadsheets allow us to apply formulas to large sets of data by dragging a formula through a range of cells, we can create a table of derivative estimates very quickly in this example. Let's start with the backwards difference, and suppose I wanted to calculate all of these entries in the backwards difference column all at once. Actually, I can only calculate the backwards differences for the final six cells. Since in the first cell where x equals zero, there's no data point behind x equals zero, and therefore a backwards difference is impossible. So I'm going to enter in the backward difference formula for x equals five, similarly to how we did it for x equals 10. And then when I'm done, I can just drag the formula through the remaining cells, and all the backwards differences are calculated. Similarly, I can calculate the forward difference for the first six cells in column D. In the last cell of column D, there is no data point ahead of x equals 30, and so I cannot calculate a forward difference. So I'll enter in the formula for the forward difference to estimate f prime of zero, then drag the formula through the remaining cells, and all those forward differences are calculated. Similarly, we can calculate the central difference for the cells in column E, except for the first and last ones. So that's how to use a spreadsheet to make tables of derivative estimates. Thanks for watching.


Hi everybody. Thank you for joining today's Jenkins Advocacy and Outreach SIG meeting. Today is Thursday, August 24th. On our agenda, we have GSOC update, an update on the top 30 contributor project that we discussed in our last SIG meeting, Advocacy and Outreach SIG meeting that is, and then a quick update on DevOps World Tour. Anything else we should add? Okay. Good, good. So, for GSOC updates, John Mark, what I have here are, so we mentioned about the two projects that's going to be extended beyond the September 4th final evaluation deadline. And I've listed them there with the plug-in health score by Jakruti, which will be extended to September 19th. So that means the final evaluation deadline in September 25th. Building Jenkins.io with alternative tools is by Vendee, and that's going to be extended to September 26th with the final evaluation deadline of October 2nd. Did I get that correct? Very good. And the grandmaster of scheduling is Kristen. Yeah, thank you so much for that, Chris. So, and then for our final Jenkins online meetup demo, we're still going to go forward with September 14th at 1500 UTC. Confirmed. Great. Meeting notes for the, I just thought, in case if anybody's interested in reading that they can also reference to more details about our office hours, the GSOC office hours. We have the link there. Anything else that we need to add, John Mark? No, just for information, we're starting to get some interest for the 2024 edition. I don't hear signals that Google would not do that edition, but let's not get the people too much excited and start to interfere. And organ means need also to take some breath in between so we give a few hints and we calm people down and that they wait for November where there will start a 2024 season. Yep, and November is going to come by very fast. Yeah, I can tell you that. Right. So, we had talked at the last advocacy and outreach SIG meeting about project that we're working on, which is highlighting 30 contributors that are spending a lot of times and donating their time and efforts to the Jenkins project and we like to highlight them personally as, you know, a personal story about them and what inspires them what motivates them. So I've sent out an inquiry to collect their stories so far we only have one story received. So I'll probably will have to personally reach out to people. Chris. So I'll be doing that because our goal is to collect, or at least publish a story by weekly. So far, like I think I mentioned I received one story and Kevin is on top of that you'll be writing the story or putting it together. And then I also took a poll from the community about the page or the title of the webpage that we want for these stories. And the winner for that is the contributor spotlight. We're using that for our webpage, which is, I'm glad that it's consistent with what it looks like CDF is doing something similar in their organization, and they're calling it continuous spotlight for their, that's how they're highlighting their contributors. So, it's working out well. And then lastly for devops world tour. I did get a discount from the events team to for registration so registration is going to be $120. Mark will be blogging about his session, and I will be helping to tweet it.
