Who’s the striker then eh?

New York Jets

Division: AFC East

 

1 Buffalo Bills (13-3)

2 Miami Dolphins (10-6)

3 New England Patriots (7-9)

4 New York Jets (2-14)

 

Grading System

Every year, my grades get a disproportionate amount of attention compared to how much time I spent writing up all of the Jets’ moves. I think that’s okay! I just wanted to clarify now though what I mean by all of the letters, just so there’s no confusion.

 

A = Excellent Value/Decision

B = Neutral-Plus Value/Decision

C = Neutral-Minus Value/Decision

D = Poor Value/Decision

F = Indefensible Value/Decision

 

Coaching Changes

 

HC Adam Gase Fired, OC Dowell Loggains Not Retained -- This was a no-brainer. Gase went 9-23 in his two seasons with the Jets, and his offense finished ranked last in total offense in both seasons. Gase and Loggains were brought in to improve the play of Sam Darnold, but his development from the end of his rookie season has been a disappointment for the Jets, so the team clearly had to go in a different direction offensively.

Grade: A

 

Interim DC Frank Bush Not Retained -- This was also a no-brainer. Bush was only the defensive coordinator because Gregg Williams had been fired midway through the season after a Raiders’ Hail Mary pass gave Las Vegas the last-second win over the Jets.

Grade: A

 

HC Robert Saleh Hired, DC Jeff Ulbrich -- Okay guys I promise not every grade here will be an 'A', in fact to prevent bias I ranked all the coaching candidates on an A-F scale PRIOR to interviews being announced. I just happen to love this hire. Robert Saleh has coordinated the 49ers defense for the past four years, and his defense has finished top-5 in total defense in each of the past two years, despite losing DeForest Buckner to free agency and Nick Bosa and Jaquiski Tartt to injury in the 2020 season. Saleh coached with Pete Carroll in Seattle during their dominant 2011 to 2013 stretch, during which the Seahawks won a Super Bowl and finished top-5 in total defense twice. Nevertheless, Saleh was not afraid to incorporate other ideas into his defense, such as those of Joe Woods and Kris Kocurek. Saleh brings a successful track record, a tried-and-tested Seattle 3 defensive scheme with openness to two high and wide nine concepts, and perhaps as importantly a fiery personality to pair with GM Joe Douglas. Jeff

After last night's lottery, The Athletic NBA staff released a mock draft for each lottery team saying who they believe fits their team the best which you can read here:

NBA Mock Draft 2021: Picks for every lottery team including Jalen Suggs to Magic and Evan Mobley to Cavaliers

Here is the mock draft (Excerpts from explanations included):

> # 1. Detroit Pistons (James Edwards III's Pick)

Cade Cunningham | 6-foot-8, lead ballhandler | 19 years old, freshman | Oklahoma State

> "Cunningham, though, is the most complete player in the draft. In a perimeter-based, playmaking league, he’s the answer to the Pistons’ retooling...He’d slot in as Detroit’s primary ball-handler and offensive initiator. And with last year’s No. 7 pick Killian Hayes still very much in the picture, Cunningham can float to an off-ball role for stints, too."

> # 2. Houston Rockets (Kelly Iko's Pick)

Jalen Green | 6-5 guard | 18 years old | G League Ignite

> "Green can jump out of the gym. His athleticism will surely translate to the next level and having that explosion in the backcourt is a plus (see: Zach Lavine). Like some of his peers, his ball handling could use some tightening...He’ll need to really work on his passing at the next level or his turnover-to-assist ratio will be horrendous. Luckily for him, he’ll have John Wall to learn from."

> # 3. Cleveland Cavaliers (Kelsey Russo's Pick)

Evan Mobley | 7-0 center | 19 years old, freshman | USC

> "In the last mock draft before the lottery results, I chose Jalen Suggs as the Cavs’ pick. In this scenario, he was someone I considered alongside Mobley. But the Cavs have a history of taking the best player available even if there is position overlap, so Mobley becomes the choice here...At 7-foot, he adds more size to pair around the backcourt duo of Darius Garland and Collin Sexton. The potential pairing of Mobley and Larry Nance Jr. could add to a defensive mindset and unselfish style on the floor."

> # 4. Toronto Raptors ('Blake Murphys Pick)

Scottie Barnes | 6-8 forward | 19 years old, freshman | Florida State

> "Well, I’m deferring from my own board here to lean on the opinions of my colleagues Eric Koreen and John Hollinger...Suggs was No. 3 on my initial Raptor-ized board at the start of the process. Suggs has some questi

I tried to expand my top 100 players and rank every survivor player ever through gameplay. They where split into tiers which contained multiple subgroups in them, which is what the spaces inbetween represent. Any player from the Subgroup is interchangeable with any other player in that subgroup as they are close in ability and I am Indecisive. (the exception is Tony, Parvati and Kim which are in the order listed). I Tried to consider both Proven feats and Natural survivor abilities. Obviously I don't remember every pre-merge player, particually from early seasons, so players might be out of order a bit.

2 Parvati Shallow (Cook Islands, Micronesia, Heroes Vs Villains, Winners at War)

5 Sarah Lacina (Cagayan, Game Changers, Winners at War)

6 Sandra Diaz-Twine (Pearl Islands, Heroes Vs Villains, Game Changers, Winners at War)

7 Tom Westman (Palau, Heroes Vs Villains)

8 Jeremy Collins (San Juan Del Sur, Cambodia, Winners at War)

I'm honestly so sick of hearing Saints fans whine and bitch about how they got "screwed over" by a bad call in the NFC Championship Game. Yeah I know it was a bad call but after all the bullshit they got away with during the Gregg Williams era(especially those ridiculous hits on Brett Favre and Kurt Warner in the '09 Playoffs) and how the players involved basically got a slap on the wrist, they totally deserved to know what it feels like to feel cheated. It's ridiculous Jonathan Vilma was allowed to ever play in the league ever again, that should've been an automatic ban in my opinion. Saints fans also conveniently forget how the Saints were in total control of that game and allowed the Rams to get back into the game. They really should've never been in that position with a lead that big and the fact they allowed it to come down to a bad call shows they didn't belong in the Super Bowl that year.

This is an updated version of a previous post

Fan cast for a live action Pokémon TV show that follows roughly the game storylines:

Seeing the prominence of new streaming services like Disney+, Paramount+, and HBO Max, and given that Detective Pikachu showed live action Pokémon can be done, it makes sense that a live action Pokémon TV show would be made by one of them at some point. That being said, I really hope these storylines follow the main plot points of the games, with a few added elements here and there that are both original and from other sources like the Adventures manga. For example, season 1 would follow Red, Blue and Leaf and take elements from Red/Blue/FireRed/LeafGreen, season 2 would be about Ethan and Lyra and be a combination of the storylines of Gold/Silver/Crystal/HG/SS (taking certain ideas and elements from each game to create the best overall story, tone and feel), season three would be about Brendan and May’s adventures in Hoenn based on Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald/OR/AS, etc. The series could be called something like Pokémon: Legends, as it would cover the events around legendary Pokémon and iconic trainers. I think James Wan would be a great director the Hoenn Series, and maybe each season could have a thematic name pertaining to the story. For example, the Hoenn series could be called “Elements” and the Sinnoh one could be called “Dimensions”.

Anyway, below are my picks so far to fan cast this live action series. I thought it would be fun to share my picks and see what everyone thinks. I’ve aged up a lot of the main trainers to be teenagers, since child acting usually doesn’t end up very well (I thought Tim Goodman in Detective Pikachu was the perfect age for a main trainer/protagonist). I’ve mainly done Generations 1-5, since those are the ones I know the best. However, there are still some characters who I haven’t casted yet and would love some help and input for them!

Main characters:

Red - Nick Robinson

Leaf - Natalia Dyer

Blue - Rudy Pankow

Ethan - Ryan Potter/Dylan O’Brien

Lyra - Emilija Baranac/Morgan Saylor

Silver - Jake Austin Walker

Eusine - Drew Van Acker

Brendan - Cody Christian/Israel Broussard/Noah Centineo

May - Ryan Whitney

Wally - Dean Charles Chapman

Chaz - Jake Manley

Lisia - Josephine Langford

Zinnia - Emeraude Toubia/Adelaide Kane

Lucas - Tom Holland

When we take a closer look at many of these unfolding ObamaGate/SpyGate scandals, it is apparent this group enjoyed layered levels of plans. Look no further than the SpyGate’s elaborated fake dossier, illegal FISA(s), and inserted campaign spies to appreciate the total coup plot scope.

The ‘Insurance Policy’ was the Deep State’s listed option # 4 as part of operation Crossfire Hurricane. It makes things dicey when your takeover coup plot is riding on your last contingency proposal, termed hauntingly as your insurance policy.

Post Q# 4227 on 5/13/20:

[Russia] narrative ALL FAKE?

HRC/BHO launched a 2-prong attack against President Trump using a fake Russia collusion narrative plan. Hiring Christopher Steele through Perkins Coie/Fusion GPS was one part of their plan. The fake dossier was launched via the DOJ/FBI and would be used to apply for various FISA surveillance warrants on Trump campaign staffers.

Post Q# 2633 on 12/20/18:

”McCain associate shared unverified Steele dossier with BuzzFeed, court filing says.”

Contemporaneously HRC had hacks Cody Shearer and Sid Blumenthal developed a second independent fake Trump-Russia dossier. This second opposition research dossier would be run through the U.S. State Department, with the help of top officials Victoria Nuland and Jonathan Winer.

Post Q# 3605 on 11/19/19:

PAY-FOR-PLAY only works when you hold a position of POWER.

Cody Shearer is nicknamed ‘Mr. Fixer’ and is a longtime controversial political activist as well as a former journalist. Cody Shearer along with his constant sidekick Sid “Vicious” Blumenthal, are known Clinton enforcers and cleanup artists that briefly doubled as opposition researchers.

Post Q# 1929 on 8/20/18:

Cody/Sid collected “oppo research” materials from foreign sub-sources, to form a two-part memo report given over to Chris Steele. This false material involved Trump’s 2013 Moscow Miss Universe contest and ultimately was included in Steele’s final Trump-Russia Dossier..

Strobe Talbott is a longtime Clinton ‘crony’ and who started the whole ‘Friends of Bill’ (BC) club. Talbott was first a college roommate at Oxford and later President Clinton’s Deputy Secretary of State.

Public: FBI/DOJ/O-WH/SD.

Private: Clowns Clowns Clowns.

Expand your thinking.

Strobe Talbott certainly had the top inner circle Washington/DC political connections via Slick Willy in the 1990’s. The old DC adage of ‘who you know’ is political capital to be cashed-in. Talbott's rule over the famed Brookings Institute established his dominate role in DC politics.

Post Q# 1220 on 4/21/18:

Clinton Foundation conflicts of interest.

Strobe Talbott’s past Clinton State Department duties kept him looped into the international political scene. Talbott has been a top adviser to George Soros, a successful journalist at Time Magazine, and was the head of the Brookings Institute for many years.

Post Q# 1431 on 5/20/18:

Rumors swirled around Talbott’s improper communications with Russian SCR operative Sergei Tretyakov. Talbott claimed he was duped and tricked into exchanging classified information with this crafty Russian.

Do people really believe the biggest scandal in modern US history will go unpunished [Scot-Free]?

Strobe Talbott has an infamous Brother In-Law who is none other than Cody Shearer, a decades long Clinton enforcer. These two family members are both tied into the Trump-Russia collision extravaganza with direct connections to dossier author Chris Steele.

Strobe Talbott got involved with the Steele’s opposition research assembly (aka dossier) and distribution through Victoria Nuland and Jonathan Winer. Nuland/Winer were BHO State Department officials working with Christopher Steele at the urging of higher ups.

If you feel it's appropriate to share NSFW jokes with your kids, that's on you. But a real, true dad joke should work for anyone's kid.

Mods... If you exist... Please, stop this madness. Rule #6 should simply not allow NSFW or (wtf) NSFL tags. Also, remember that MINORS browse this subreddit too? Why put that in rule #6, then allow NSFW???

Please consider changing rule #6. I love this sub, but the recent influx of NSFW tagged posts that get all the upvotes, just seem wrong when there are good solid DAD jokes being overlooked because of them.

So far nobody has given me a straight answer

I am currently in the hospital. I had a back operation yesterday. The surgical nurse came in my room and started asking questions about my back. She asked me if I had any falls during the last year. I responded just one. It was after summer.

She laughed and said in 20 years of doing this she never was told that joke.

This is the second in what I guess is now my Minnesota sports drama series. You can also read about the reviled Norm Green and the North Stars. For more NFL action, Smashing71 has a couple of great writeups.

The main thing you need to know about American Football for this drama is that the Quarterback (QB) position is arguably the most important in sports. All the plays on offense go through the QB and he’s the leader of the team. An elite QB can drag a crummy team into a playoffs, while poor QB play can bring down otherwise amazing teams. So a team that’s found themselves one of the top QBs will likely be a playoff contender for some time.

The Minnesota Vikings

The Minnesota Vikings started playing in 1961 as an expansion team. Vikings is a good team name, as they have a reputation of being rough and savage just like Minnesotans, and there are a lot of Scandinavians in Minnesota. They first played outside in Metropolitan Stadium, where the Mall of America is now and across the street from where the North Stars played, before moving to the Metrodome in downtown Minneapolis. The Metrodome was demolished and U.S. Bank Stadium built in its place in 2016.

The Vikings have had many great teams and players over the years, and have the seventh best all-time winning percentage in the league. Which you would think would lead to at least one or two Super Bowl wins (the league championship, if you’ve been in a coma the last 50 years), right? Well, I’m just going to quote directly from Wikipedia here:

>“The Vikings have the highest regular season and combined winning percentage among NFL franchises who have not won a Super Bowl, in addition the most playoff runs, division titles, and (tied with the Buffalo Bills) Super Bowl appearances. They also have the most conference championship appearances of non-winning Super Bowl teams, with them being one of three to appear in a conference championship every decade since the 1970s. The only NFL franchise with winning regular season and combined records to not win a Super Bowl, the Vikings hold the most playoff losses in league history at 30. “

So, in short, they’re very good during the regular season, make it to the playoffs a lot, often make it deep into
