it’s hard to throw around the term “underrated.” However there are levels and tiers even when talking about the best of the best Longtime rival and Baltimore Ravens edge rusher Terrell Suggs thinks Ben Roethlisberger doesn’t get the recognition he deserves “I would say [Ben] Roethlisberger is underrated,” Suggs said via the Rory & Mal podcast on YouTube “He got more rings than [Aaron] Rodgers He’s got as many as Peyeron and Eli [Manning] he’s probably the most underrated.” Nobody sacked Roethlisberger more times than Suggs throughout his career so he knows a thing or two about Roethlisberger’s greatness as a quarterback rivalries in all of sports during that era but there was also plenty of respect between the two sides My 2nd favorite Ben Roethlisberger play of all-time, only trailing his Super Bowl throw to Santonio, is an incompletion. The strength to fend Suggs off, throw the ball away, make an impossible play (with a broken nose) sums up his game and the Steelers/Ravens rivalry. pic.twitter.com/pr3LYo7DCb — Alex Kozora (@Alex_Kozora) July 1, 2019 A brief search had him ranked in the following places on a couple all-time QB lists There are never-ending debates to be had about which stats matter the most but how much of that has to do with the team versus the player Roethlisberger is in a multi-way tie for the sixth most Super Bowl wins and he appeared in one other during his career Jim Plunkett and Ben Roethlisberger each have two Super Bowl wins A couple of those players are for sure ahead of Roethlisberger but different eras of football were more friendly to the passing game than others It’s impossible to directly compare a quarterback from the modern era to a quarterback in the 1970s Roethlisberger is fifth in all-time passing yards with 64,088 and eighth in all-time passing touchdowns with 418 He also posted a very impressive .670 win-loss record which is fifth all-time among quarterbacks with over 100 wins One stat that stands the test of time better than others Fourth-quarter comebacks and game-winning drives show a quarterback’s clutch factor in the most important moments of games Roethlisberger has the third most all-time in both of those categories Nobody could compare to Roethlisberger in his prime in terms of his ability to create plays He wasn’t as athletic as players like Mike Vick or Lamar Jackson strength and sneaky athleticism to make things happen “That’s almost when he became better when the play broke down He had to break a sack and he had to play backyard football,” Suggs said “That’s what you don’t want You want him in there just kinda playing quarterback You don’t want him playing street ball Ben Roethlisberger will light your ass up.” There are other arguments to be made about Roethlisberger’s lack of a playoff wins over the last several years of his career he deserves to be in the top 10 all-time conversation Quis autem vel eum iure reprehenderit qui in ea voluptate velit esse quam nihil molestiae consequatur Temporibus autem

moving objects is not visible in a snapshot photograph This surprising effect has never been tested experimentally Here we demonstrate the Terrell-Penrose effect in a laboratory setting Using ps-laser pulses and ultra-fast photography with gating times as short as 300 ps we achieve a virtual reduction of the speed of light to less than 2 m/s enabling the visualization of relativistically moving objects in real time Our results comprise simulations and experimentally synthesized snapshots of a sphere and a cube which are animated to create a slow-motion effect for velocities close to the speed of light An extension of our method to otherwise unobservable relativistic phenomena the famous “train” thought experiment revealing the constancy of the speed of light the moving object appears exactly as the object at rest and gated cameras allow recordings in which moderate imaging rates (kHz) are combined with ultrashort exposures (hundreds of picoseconds) The latter technology is often used in stroboscopic measurements where fast repetitive phenomena are captured at various delays Δt between the initialization of the process and imaging thus acquiring a movie of the evolution of the system this is used to visualize the propagation of an ultra-short laser pulse reflected by an immobile object: A train of laser pulses is sent toward an object and the reflected light is captured using a gated camera The delay Δt between the laser pulses and the exposure is scanned effectively revealing the motion of pulsed light across the static object The trick to visualizing relativistic motion is to displace the object by the distance it would move during the delay time Δt we simulated a cube moving at 0.8 c (speed of light) and a sphere moving at 0.999 c the Lorentz contraction must be applied artificially to mimic relativistic motion resulting in a cuboid with aspect ratio 0.6 and a sphere essentially squeezed to a disk Our experimentally synthesized snapshots confirm that the Terrell-Penrose effect balances the Lorentz contraction and leads to the appearance of a rotated noncontracted object The principle is illustrated in Fig. 1 The definition of a snapshot is that photons reflected (or emitted) from any point on the surface of the object must arrive at the same time at the camera Let a photon be emitted from point B at t=0 (wiggly line) In order to arrive at the same time at the camera a photon from point A (closest to the camera) must be emitted when the photon from B passes point A (gray wiggly line) to the right to point A’, as shown in Fig. 1a. β = v/c is the relativistic factor. By symmetry, a photon from point C must be emitted Δt earlier than photon B. Thus, the camera takes a snapshot of an elongated object as depicted in Fig. 1b. a Top view of a Lorentz contracted sphere moving with speed v = 0.7 c from left to right In order that photons from A and B arrive at the same time at the camera photon A must be emitted Δt later when photon B passes A (grey wiggly line) a photon from point C must be emitted Δt earlier than photon B Figure 2 shows front views of Fig. 1 (seen from the camera perspective along the z-axis) for different speeds The north pole points in direction of the camera d Terrell-Penrose effect - the sphere appears rotated we use an ultra-fast photographic technique We illuminate the object with a pulsed laser and take a photo after a certain delay time Light reflected from parts of the object that correspond to the respective optical path length will appear bright in this photo For the sake of clarity we call these photos “slices” Slices taken at a given position of the object are ordered in a temporal sequence The delay time between two consecutive exposures defines the distance the object would move in the x direction between two exposures The test object is re-positioned accordingly They represent experimentally synthesized snapshots giving a realistic impression of an object moving at relativistic speed a A pulsed laser beam is focused through a lens to illuminate the entire object The gated camera is triggered to capture the light scattered back from the object with a certain delay in relation to the laser trigger b The slightly tilted model of the Lorentz contracted sphere seen from the camera (blue) for v = 0.999 c is almost compressed to a 2D object the ps-laser pulses are guided via mirrors to a lens in order to expand over the entire field of view The insert shows the model of the sphere from a different perspective c The Lorentz contracted cube with a side length of 1 × 1 × 0.6 m The camera is able to detect individual photons by using an image intensifier which is electronically gated to enable ultra-short gating times The High Rate Image Intensifier (Kentech HRI) consists of three main parts: a photocathode the photocathode has a positive potential compared to the MCP The generated photoelectrons are pushed back to the photocathode The electrons are pushed to the MCP surface where they are multiplied depending on the MCP gain settings (MCP voltage) High electric fields accelerate the electrons towards the phosphor screen which converts them back to photons that are detected by the CCD camera Two test objects were chosen: a sphere with a diameter of 1 meter at 0.999 c and a cube with an edge length of 1 meter at 0.8 c (see Fig. 3b Both objects are contracted along the axis of movement by the corresponding Lorentz factor which provides both good time resolution and sufficient signal-to-noise The camera is triggered by the sync output of the laser an electronic signal is generated which is accessible through the sync output The delay between laser pulses and the camera is varied through a delay generator (Kentech Instruments HDG800) For the cube moving at 0.8 c this is 48 mm For the sphere seemingly moving at almost the speed of light this corresponds to shifting the object by Δx = 6 cm between two series Note that in order to simulate Lorentz contraction at 0.999 c where the indices i and j denote timing and position a movie can be created by combining slices to frames Sn of the moving object as The diagonals Sn represent light that reaches the camera at time n Δt while the object is moving Δt = 400 ps is the time delay between single laser pulses As the strength of genuine photonic signals emanating from scattering objects is at least twice that of background noise this adjustment has no influence on our results but leads to a significant reduction of background noise To create a synthesized snapshot, we sum up the slices to a single frame Sn according to Eq. (2) (Fig. 4) All slices contributing to one frame are normalized to 1 This guarantees good visibility of the object an animation of a moving object can be created each sequence of frames is shown at a rate of 30 frames per second Since light travels a distance of 6 cm between neighboring slices a Calibration image of the resting cuboid The image is superposed with a perspective simulation of a cuboid from the camera position (white lines) b Terrell rotation of a deliberately Lorentz contracted sphere moving at 0.999 c A simulation (white contours) is superimposed on the experimental results to guide the view and verify the theoretical description Figure 5b is an experimentally synthesized snapshot of the sphere moving from right to left at 0.999 c. The north pole that pointed towards the camera as shown in Fig. 3b is located at the leftmost rim The meridians connecting both poles are visible as brighter dots Closer inspection shows that the horizontal north-south axis is 11% longer than the vertical (equatorial) diameter This effect is an artifact caused by the necessary tilt of the Lorentz-contracted sphere relative to the light source to ensure proper illumination The meridians appear discontinuous because they are almost in line of sight seen from the camera a observer at a distance of 100 m (almost parallel illumination) The distorted vertical edges are hyperbolae a time span in which the pulse moves by less than 10 cm we were able to demonstrate the invisibility of the Lorentz contraction Our findings confirm the theoretical models objects moving at relativistic speed appear rotated rather than contracted The detailed visualizations of a sphere and a cube at virtually relativistic speeds align with theoretical expectations help to understand the elusive Terrell-Penrose effect and provide intuitive insight into relativistic mechanics An extension of the method to otherwise unobservable relativistic phenomena the famous ’train’ thought experiment that reveals the constancy of the speed of light The synthesized snapshots have been generated by data sets acquired with the LaVision PicoStar HR12 camera Due to the considerable size of these data sets the corresponding author can provide access to the data upon request The data files are processed with the Python library lvpyio provided by LaVision.

To say Roethlisberger is "underrated" seems odd especially since he's typically mentioned with some of the top names to play the position.  If you look at the list of names that Suggs mentioned in association with Big Ben, all but one - Eli Manning - are either Hall of Famers or considered sure-fire inductees but are commonly thought to be first-ballot Hall of Famers when their times come.  Manning won two Super Bowls, both over the New England Patriots and Tom Brady and was a finalist for the Class of 2025 but did not receive the necessary votes a Democrat and University of Iowa Health Care employee from Johnson County Mariannette Miller-Meeks for Iowa’s 1st Congressional District seat to be a voice in Washington and I am going to go to Washington ready to fight I'm not going to go there and try to get settled down," Terrell said "I'm going with a plan to fight like hell for Iowans and let the billionaires and the corporations know I am not going to be like Donald Trump or Nancy Pelosi where I'm going to be as much as I possibly can." He said he's running because he believes Iowa voters in the 1st Congressional District are ready to send a progressive Democrat to Congress who will "restore the dignity of the working man." He said he closed out of his vacation savings to fund his campaign's website and first ad "I don't have the masters education that a lot of politicians do and I feel like that's going to be a good thing because I don't think Congress or government officials need that formal education or that degree because really what it comes down to when you're voting is right or wrong and it comes to what you believe and who you're going to fight for," Terrell said Terrell lives in Tiffin and works as a patient access specialist at UI Health Care He grew up in Ottumwa in a single-mother household for most of his life and said he started working at 13 years old to help pay bills Terrell attended Indian Hills Community College to study electronic technology My brother-in-law was on strike at John Deere last year and my sister is on a strike at Dr "And even though most of the family doesn't work there we all go out to the picket lines for our union brothers and sisters because we have a very strong belief that this country was built by unions and they're what makes this country great." He filed a statement of candidacy at the end of March with the Federal Election Commission for the race in the district that includes the cities of Davenport He said his campaign focuses on protecting Social Security passing immigration and health care reform such as expanding programs for families and veterans and finding solutions to remedy physician shortages Terrell said he has already drafted a few bills with his main issues "The first bill that I wrote was a plan that gave you a gateway from legal residency to citizenship for people that earned it by being residents and paying their taxes and contributing to our society where they didn't have to go through the minefield of becoming a citizen," Terrell said National Democrats have pledged resources for the 1st Congressional District race and are targeting it as one they think could be flipped blue. The Cook Political Report also has slotted Iowa's 1st District contest into its most competitive category as a “toss-up” race Terrell said he's already visiting more rural areas to speak with voters about his platform in anticipation that the race will be competitive but we also have to capitalize on it and not just count on people to vote blue no matter who because that's one of the worst philosophies that a Democratic party has ever had," Terrell said "We need to take that enthusiasm and give people (someone) that they can actually get behind and know that this person is actually somebody who can relate to me." While Miller-Meeks hasn't publicly announced a reelection campaign, she said in an April 16 announcement she's not seeking a 2026 Iowa governor run She said she is focusing on her current role representing southeastern Iowa in Congress "I'm honored that many Iowans would consider me as a candidate for governor but my current job is all encompassing and I will not be exploring a gubernatorial run," she said Miller-Meeks has a significant lead in fundraising so far this year with more than $1 million among Iowa U.S according to the most recent financial reports National Republican Congressional Committee spokesperson wrote in a statement that Terrell is a “radical Democrat" and has no business running for Congress Miller-Meeks is working relentlessly to deliver results for their communities," Tuttle wrote One other competitor eyeing Miller-Meeks' seat has formally declared they are running David Pautsch, a Davenport Republican, announced his intentions in February to run against Miller-Meeks which likely sets up a primary rematch that the two candidates faced in 2024 Running to the right of Miller-Meeks, Pautsch was within 12 percentage points of her in the 2024 primary Sabine Martin covers politics for the Register She can be reached by email at sabine.martin@gannett.com or by phone at (515) 284-8132 Please select what you would like included for printing: Copy the text below and then paste that into your favorite email application of Lake Charles passed away at 12:53 PM on Wednesday He was a graduate of Sulphur High School and attended McNeese State University he spent time with his beloved Grandpaw Fruge in the rice and cattle fields He learned the value of hard work by just working alongside his Grandpaw and he carried that work ethic with him all of his life He was an avid runner for many years and a charter member of the Lake Charles Racquet Club Terrell served in the Air Force and had a successful career in industrial sales he returned to his roots and passion for livestock he found joy simply being among the animals Those left to cherish his memory are his loving and devoted wife of 38 years and Debbie Dickson (Sterling); and numerous nieces A memorial service will be held at 5:00 PM on Tuesday Pastor Zack and George Rodriguez will officiate A gathering of family and friends will begin at 4:00 PM until the start of the service Words of comfort to the family may be expressed at www.johnsonfuneralhome.net Enter your phone number above to have directions sent via text This site is protected by reCAPTCHA and the Google Privacy Policy and Terms of Service apply Service map data © OpenStreetMap contributors Fairley High School has made a change at the helm of its boys basketball program after hiring Ladarius Booker, athletic director and football coach Fred Copeland confirmed to The Commercial Appeal on April 30 Booker replaces Steven Terrell Terrell led Fairley to a 27-7 season in which the Bulldogs advanced to the TSSAA Class 2A sectionals "We appreciate all of the work that Coach Steven Terrell has done for us We're hoping that Coach Booker can come in and lead the charge for the Bulldogs and lead us to the Glass House in Murfreesboro."

analyzes the strengths of Saints quarterback Tyler Shough and if he'll be ready to play right away with Derek Carr nursing a shoulder injury METAIRIE, La. -- The New Orleans Saints weren't looking for a typical rookie when they selected Louisville quarterback Tyler Shough with the 40th pick in the draft Shough had traits that might have made other teams shy away He'll be 26 at the beginning of the NFL season -- older than most of his draft class He's played for three teams across seven years of college eligibility -- Oregon from 2018 to '20, Texas Tech from 2021 to '23 and Louisville in 2024 -- long enough to have been teammates with Saints tight end Juwan Johnson certainly there's value to that," Saints coach Kellen Moore said "You can see it in the classroom aspect of this thing His ability to process football at a very easy rate in the classroom really good when you throw him up there and you're watching film and you're talking about plays and concepts and he's got great experiences that he can lean on." There's also a lengthy list of injuries -- a collarbone break and rebreak during his first two seasons at Texas Tech; a broken fibula that caused him to miss the end of the 2023 season as a result of a hip-drop tackle it's probably one of the most common injuries," Shough said it helped me out mentally more than anything and finding a way to add value to my teammates and the coaches." The Saints didn't just ignore those issues -- they actually embraced them. Shough's maturity appealed to a team in transition, pairing him with Moore, who is the youngest current NFL coach at 36. As quarterback Derek Carr deals with a shoulder injury of unknown severity Shough said his only goal for now is to compete and help the team in any way he can "I think it's a benefit when a guy's had a lot of experience and has a little maturity to him at that position," Saints general manager Mickey Loomis said so in some cases that might be a detriment The Saints spent a significant amount of time on Shough through the draft process Moore said the scouts already had evaluations done on him "They were really on him for a number of years and so as coaches we kind of joined this process as it goes and for those guys they already had this thing building and for us to kind of come in and see all the work that had been done and then to continue to interact with Tyler again momentum was definitely valuable to him," Moore said Moore and the Saints also spent a lot of time visiting with Shough in the months leading up to the draft Saints assistant offensive line coach and running backs coach Joel Thomas saw him up close at the Senior Bowl Quarterbacks coach Scott Tolzien spent an entire day with Shough at Louisville's pro day New Orleans also brought him in to visit its facility Moore said they liked Shough more with each visit so he's ready to compete in our quarterback room," Moore said The New Orleans Saints selected Tyler Shough with the No 40 pick of the 2025 draft. Photo by Robin Alam/Icon SportswireThe two appeared to bond over similar philosophies with Shough admiring Moore's perspective about how to grow from negative plays Moore said because Shough had so much tape to go through there was plenty to learn about him and the ways he could grow "That's a fun task is when you're evaluating quarterbacks is watch them screw up see how they handle those different adversity moments and so certainly Tyler was one that he felt like he had plenty of examples like that," Moore said Extensive homework was a must before drafting him While the Saints didn't take him with their first-round pick he still impressed the Saints enough for them to use a second-round pick to get him -- the highest draft pick they've spent on a quarterback in decades The last time New Orleans picked a quarterback in the first two rounds was in 1971 Second-round picks have been particularly important to the Saints recently. Every second-round pick since 2016 -- with the exception of 2023 defensive end Isaiah Foskey -- has received significant playing time The Saints will probably want to get their second-round pick on the field as quickly as possible But when is Shough expected to see playing time Whether that happens in the near or immediate future will be the main question as Shough joins a team with significant quarterback concerns "I'm just really excited to work with the coaches and see a lot of my close friends and teammates that are already there," Shough said "So just super fired up for the opportunity and obviously a great franchise and a great history of quarterbacks." it looked like the Saints were prepared to move forward with Carr who signed with the team under previous coach Dennis Allen in 2022 The Saints and Carr have both confirmed he has a shoulder injury With just three weeks until the Saints hold their first full-team practices of the offseason it's unclear who will be taking the first-team snaps "Derek's obviously dealing with his shoulder at the time and so we'll navigate that as it goes "We feel like we're in a really good space there to allow this thing to compete and go through this process." Loomis said that there will be a quarterback competition but clarified that Carr is the starter if he's healthy Moore said "obviously we felt great about Derek" when asked if Shough would compete with Carr "We've been pretty consistent as we went through this process that we felt great about Derek and so obviously we'll navigate the injury process," Moore said Shantaneique Randolph and Shadejah Thompkins; brother Dorothy Tenney; a host of cousins and other relatives and friends and where funeral services will be held at 1:00pm on Wednesday Online condolences are available at www.jenkinsjr.com Click to watch About Stephenson Entrepreneurship Institute Director Stephenson Entrepreneurship Institute We're here for you 24 hours a day: 1-800-275-2332 Relieve your family the burden of making difficult decisions during a time of great stress and grief you will save money and give peace of mind to your family and loved ones at a time when they will need it most call (319) 393-8000 or toll free at 1-800-275-2332 and ask to speak with a Certified Preplanning Counselor There is nothing more important to us than serving families and being there for them when they need us most Please review our services and let us know how we can help Stop in or call us at (319) 393-8000 or toll free at 1-800-275-2332 "Everything for your family."

Pellerin Funeral Home of Breaux Bridge (337-332-2111) is in charge of arrangements joins team reporters Terrin Waack and Tori McElhaney this week on Falcons in Focus Terrell deserves more credit than he's been given for the career he's had in Atlanta This past season only furthered my personal argument and vendetta against the league at large for not recognizing Terrell as one of the premiere corners in the NFL Playing cornerback at this level is oftentimes a thankless job it's usually put on blast — even if your body of work points to one mess up as a fluke But good cornerbacks can win a lot of them Another sign of a corner's worth can be found in the notion that people don't talk about them because teams don't test them An offensive coordinator's scheme can specifically account for them and quarterbacks can make the conscious choice to keep the ball out of their area That's what happened to Terrell not just in 2024 but throughout various points in his career In the Falcons' Week 17 game against the Washington Commanders Terrell shadowed Terry McLaurin on 32 of his 34 routes He allowed just one reception for five yards on six targets Not only did Jayden Daniels not want to test the matchup The Falcons awarded Terrell last year with a sizeable contract extension It made Terrell one of the highest-paid corners in the league It's a contract value he absolutely played up to in 2025 He was arguably as shutdown as corners come despite not receiving the recognition as such But there's more to this position in 2025 than Terrell (though he does play a major part in it) Let's get into what the next season could hold for this group Biggest question(s) facing the position group in 2025: This has been a question asked every single offseason since Terrell was drafted back in 2020 Every year we go into the offseason knowing what the future for Terrell would be but always left wondering about his counterpart Terrell has had a different running mate each year he's been in Atlanta will the Falcons find him a consistent partner in crime I like the idea of drafting someone young who can develop and learn from Terrell 15 in the NFL Draft is usually prime real estate for a cornerback.. If the Falcons choose not to go that route of drafting Terrell's running mate could they decide to bring back Hughes on another shorter deal because Hughes' numbers and stops this last year were pretty consistent He's someone liked in the locker room and if the Falcons feel that they need to put money or draft capital elsewhere perhaps Hughes comes back and reunites with Terrell making it the first time in Terrell's professional career he's worked opposite the same guy from one season to another There's a reason this section differs for this position group compared to others It's because you cannot outweigh one question over the other considering how much rides on both decisions New defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich ran a base 4-3 when he was with Atlanta from 2015-20 He did so with the Jets for the last four seasons It stands to reason that'll be the base defense in Atlanta once again Assistant head coach/defense Jerry Gray greatly values a nickel role incorporated into looks It stands to reason slot corner will continue to play a significant role in the defensive plan moving forward the Falcons need more from the nickel position than what they got in 2024 Alford was targeted by opposing quarterbacks more than any other player in the Falcons' secondary He gave up more touchdowns in coverage than duos of players combined it wasn't the season the Falcons — or Alford — wanted where do the Falcons go from here with the position would they want him more for depth purposes than being an all-out starter who becomes the Falcons' starting nickel — if they deploy one Those are big questions that will need to be answered this offseason Join us as we take a look back on our favorite photos from the Atlanta Falcons' 2024-2025 season during the Week 5 Game against the Tampa Bay
