He has a million dollars in the bank I’m sure.

Yeah but discovering (or finding) a place is different than making a voyage.

Not sure how you figure. Columbus was aware he hit the mainland or continent and it was his doing so that led to Vespucci's voyage.
The Americas were named after Amerigo because he had better PR and he likely forged/lied about details of his voyage. Two accounts attributed to him became widely popular in Europe and it is likely he made up some details about where they actually went. Later a cartographer believing his accountd started calling the New World the Americas and the name stuck.

A lot of people care.
My guess is you would have made the same statement when Jackie Robinson broke into baseball.
Firsts are a big deal.

I don't think anyone has any idea if this defense will be more aggressive and take more chances than we've seen.
I hope this guy is willing to blitz more on 3rd down that Fangio was.

Landing on a Caribbean island doesn't constitute landing on North America or South America. The Amerigo landed on the "mainland" first, hence he discovered them.

You clearly did not read my post. Columbus landed in Venuzuela on his 3rd voyage before Amerigo in August of 1498. Venuzuela is on the mainland.
Columbus reached Venezuela — Adam Smith Institute
On his third voyage, Christopher Columbus became the first European to reach the mainland of South America, when he landed in what is now Venezuela on August 1st, 1498. Artifacts from the area show that native peoples had previously co-existed with and hunted the megafauna that lived there. The pre-

Vespucci wasnt even captain. The actual captain was Alonso De Ojeda and his voyage was to explore the mainland Colukbus found in 1498. That voyage was 1499-1500. The reason why people dont talk much about Vespucci today is because he is largely considered a thief and a liar who stole credit belonging to others. He wrote stories of the voyages where he lied about and embellished his role and those stories are what led to people thinking he was the captain or one of the leaders of the expeditions when he likely was not.

Amerigo Vespucci
America was named after Amerigo Vespucci, a Florentine navigator and explorer who played a prominent role in exploring the New World.

No that voyage is considered to have been made up by most historians as a means to gain primacy over Columbus. The documentation of it is from 1504 and is considered a forgery. His first official voyage that has documentation beyond his own claims is the 1499-1500 voyage which he was not the captain of.
Amerigo Vespucci - Wikipedia
Alleged voyage of 1497–1498
A letter, written to Piero Soderini and published in 1504, purports to be an account by Vespucci of a voyage to the New World, leaving Spain on 10 May 1497 and returning in October 1498. This is perhaps the most controversial of Vespucci's voyages and many historians doubt that it took place as described. Some writers question the authorship and accuracy of the letter and consider it to be a forgery.[14] Others point to the inconsistencies in the narrative of the voyage, particularly the alleged course, starting near Honduras and proceeding northwest for 870 leagues (about 5,130 km or 3,190 mi)–a course that would have taken them across Mexico to the Pacific Ocean.[15] Feelings also ran high among earlier historians who felt that Vespucci lied about this voyage to gain primacy over Columbus as the first explorer to encounter the mainland.

The letter, written to the Gonfalonier of Florence (a high official on the city-state's supreme executive council), accounts a 1497 expedition to the Bahamas and Central America. Again most historians agree he was the first to discover those lands.No that voyage is considered to have been made up by most historians as a means to gain primacy over Columbus.

Yeah, I glanced through that thread and thought it was a terrible wish list for DC. Didnt realize we actually were showing real interest in those guys.
Interviewing cast offs, winless Highschool coaches, and some dude who chose to coach for a WWE wrestler in Detroit isn't an inspiring list. With a short list like that it proves my point that it is hard to recruit a good candidate considering the situation our GM and HC are entering the season in. Might as well hire an unknown internal guy and hope for the best.

Except I just showed you where it literally says most historians consider it a forgery.

This is from his own wiki page with references. Historians at the time thought he was lying and historians today think the letter is a forgery. It is known he lied because it is known he was not actually captain of the 1499-1500 voyage.

Amerigo was literally the dudes first name and North and South America were named after him. Meanwhile Columbus was thinking the Caribbean was India.
