Hypothetical Question-Fredbeard/Martin

There is a kid in 5th grade in my area who really throws and runs well

I am curious if the cowboys will be able to draft him

Since we are talking about things that won't matter for years, I'll say that in this future world it won't matter. Because we'll have already drafted better players to take their places. In fact we'll probably trade both for high draft picks on the last year of their rookie contracts because we won't want to keep them as backups for the players we'll draft in the 5th and 6th round who will turn out even better than they are. Don't bother looking for these players, they are probably seniors in high school right now, but damn are they gonna be good.

And we'll all have flying cars too... I want a flying car.

Legalization of pot might have its plusses but it may just kill online discussion forums.

In chess the defining skill is being able to read the board 4, 5, 7 moves ahead. That's what separates winning and losing. Steve Jobs said, "Don't skate to where the puck is...skate to where the puck will be." An athlete--or business man who can anticipate will leave all others in the dust.

The very fact that posters here would disparage forward-thinking, showing no respect to it's value as the penultimate skill... tells me I could be wasting my time with losers who can't grasp the very minimal requirements of success in any enterprise and who apparently lack the skill to achieve anything...to achieve anywhere.

If you can't think ahead...you are hopelessly behind. Forever. And to BRAG that you have no interest in reading the chess board more than 1 move ahead is to announce to everyone, "I am a hopeless loser!"
