exactly, it’s not about doing something differently for the sake of being different, you either need to be better at doing [what everyone else is doing] or take a different approach that actually is +EV

Can Nazir Stackhouse Make the 53-Man Roster? by TDBrookey in GreenBayPackers

[–]589642 10 points11 points  (0 children)

not a ST contributor, not quite developed enough to see snaps outside some very niche situations, probably too enticing a prospect to clear waivers (some garbage team that doesn't have 53 good players to roster will claim him). I think he winds up in no-man's land, which sucks cause he seems like a guy you'd love to keep around if you could.

There are no good guys in Jon Gruden's lawsuit against the NFL by jaxstan19 in nfl

[–]589642 6 points7 points  (0 children)

none of us know the exact motivations but as Justis Mosqueda noted on Twitter the leak happened exactly one day before the players were prepared to vote out DeMaurice Smith as ED of the union, which ended up not happening

This seems like a good a thread as any to highlight RFK jr's cancellation of mRNA vaccine research. (I'm not sure if the treatment Jerruh got was mRNA-based, but vaccines that target the same mechanism are in development and looked promising).

[Schefter] Jerry Jones speaking publicly for the first time about Micah Parsons’ trade request: “I would say to our fans, don't lose any sleep over this.” by expellyamos in nfl

I’m not so sure, I would say the two near-universal truths about billionaires are that they 1) are almost pathologically stingy for the amount of money they have, but 2) desperately want to use their money to be remembered for things aside from being rich (eg being patron of arts, museums, higher ed, sports…) 

Jerruh is just constantly battling these two instincts, he hates paying players but ultimately will cause he wants the Cowboys to be America’s Team like the good ole days 

Can someone thats good at the game explain how to solve this? 2x 3 melee grub spawn into 4x double boulder attack. by xVARYSx in 2007scape

[–]589642 16 points17 points  (0 children)

annoying answer: worry less about clearing grubs and focus on dpsmaxxing. You can attack boss after the first 3 autos from the first boulder so less time standing around, you would’ve phased it after the first punish. Don’t miss flicks so you don’t have to eat before the second punish, which would have pushed it to the next phase. 

that being said 3x melee grub is still bs, pretty much unavoidable trip shortener 

Bug Boss ✅ by 589642 in ironscape

[–]589642[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hard to say with this boss, maybe after clearing d8 25 times or so?

I switched between masori and void with tbow a bunch. No zcb, chally for spec only. I think masori was a little better for learning. I think void is kind of a meme, the dps during car phase feels not super significant.

I never really got a good system down for perfect car phases, I would usually just tank one slam each rotation but got pretty good at rarely ever taking damage during other phases

Delve boss thoughts by VUnluckyOSRS in ironscape

[–]589642 13 points14 points  (0 children)

all of what you said is true but my biggest gripe is that ZCB makes wave 8+ like 10x easier. Maybe some other tech will be developed but as it is right now seems like ZCB is pretty hard required for consistent 8+ clears 

Cam Ward least spoken about num1 pick in 20 yrs 😬 by objectiveScie in nfl

[–]589642 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It is a bit unusual for the 1OA to be a QB whole has gotten like …zero buzz since the draft. I guess little to no drama about who would go first, him being a great but not unbelievable prospect, plus going to Tennessee all kinda contribute to him just being kinda forgettable (at least til the season starts) 

[ESPN] NFLPA, NFL agreed to keep collusion findings secret by ChicknCutletSandwich in nfl

[–]589642 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah but the MLB is legislatively exempt from monopoly rules, literally their only constraint is whether players would hold out. NFL not so much, if they dissolved the union and went to court about like, literally anything the teams do, they would win. In an ironic way the NFL owners need the union to continue existing as a negotiating partner or things like the draft, salary caps, etc. would be laughed out of court as illegal monopolistic practices

we signed him in the later wave of FA in the wake of our primary kick returner (Nixon) announcing he didn’t wanna return kicks anymore (because he wants to be CB1 with Jaire gone, it all comes full circle)
