A team led by University of Minnesota researchers has discovered that deep-sea bacteria dissolve carbon-containing rocks, releasing excess carbon into the ocean and atmosphere. The findings will allow scientists to better estimate the amount of carbon dioxide in Earth s atmosphere, a main driver of global warming.

Robert Kraft: Patriots’ free agent spending spree was due to team struggling in NFL Draft

Robert Kraft laid it out there pretty clearly: NFL teams cannot win consistently by spending in free agency. To become a contender, you need to build through the draft.
That’s the way the New England Patriots have run things since Bill Belichick took over the team in 2000. But 2021 was different. Kraft says it’s for two reasons.
The first is because the lowered salary cap completely changed free agency into a buyers’ market, a unique scenario that came as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic lowering league revenues.
Robert Kraft Did Not Take a Shot at Bill Belichick By Pointing Out Draft Struggles

Robert Kraft spoke to media yesterday about the New England Patriots whirlwind of an offseason that featured an uncharacteristic spending spree in free agency. One thing he said that has driven several discussions on the morning sports talk studio shows was about the Patriots recent draft history.
When asked about the discrepancy between teams that spend big in free agency and teams that don t, Kraft voiced his belief that consistent winning cannot be found via free agency. The draft is where good teams find long-term contributors that make up the foundation for winning football. Having great players on cheap contracts for years at a time makes it easier to fill out the rest of the team with bigger contracts. It is harder to do it the other way around.
