R.D. Mangles posted:yes, but baseball is monumentally more stressful because of the pace of the game, IMO Peak NFL Doomposting was the Bears having a <6 point lead with at least 30 seconds left against the Packers, knowing that Rodgers was going to get the ball back. one. last. time.

simble posted:FYI: Phoenix is landlocked Based on all the above reasoning, it isn't! It sits on the (now-mostly/typically dry) Salt River, which is a tributary to the (also now mostly/typically dry) Gila River, that is itself a tributary to the Colorado River that still (barely) flows into the Gulf of California. In the old'n days before Arizona when crazy daming up the various rivers, you could technically go from Phoenix to the Gulf of California if you really wanted to, via boat, though it wasn't really done. All of these flowed perennially, and at a decent rate all things considered.

rickiep00h posted:I don't think I'd consider this as the lower Colorado River, even before the ridiculous amount of damming and diversions, was historically difficult to navigate from season to season, let alone year to year. Even so, the size of a boat that you could get from the mouth of the Colorado all the way to Phoenix would be very small. You'd have been far more likely NOT to make it. Hey, I never said the size of the boat!  Though up until the late 19th century, they were using steamboats to go from the Gulf of California to Yuma, and then further up from Yuma via the Gila River.The Gila enters the Colorado River basically at Yuma, and Yuma itself is only about 90 miles north "as the river flows" from the Gulf of California. It's pretty much at the end of the Lower Colorado River, where the river flow, while heavy and heavily variable pre-dams, was much less violent than you see further up the river, whether the "upper" Lower Colorado River or the Upper Colorado River itself. Floating down the Salt->Gila->Colorado at this time would have been relatively easy, all things considered. But reversing this course would have been difficult if not using a shallow draft steamboat, etc., and ultimately wasn't really done a whole lot once the railroads showed up.
