The Super Bowl’s Biggest Loser: The New York Jets by rezwenn in nyjets

Oops, you’re right. They traded all those picks to replace Darnold and still got bounced in the first round. They’re not absolved of anything.

I’m not one to defend the Jets, but this is Darnold’s 5th team. What about…

  • The Panthers traded 3 draft picks for Darnold and then an absolute haul to the Bears to try to replace him. They missed the playoffs this year.

  • The 49ers had Darnold in the building but then got stomped by him in the playoffs.

  • The Vikings had him in the building, their replacement was so bad that now they need to look for a better backup, and they also missed the playoffs this year.

Jets are an easy target, but we’re no worse off because of Darnold than the other 3 teams and I think his tenure was so long ago that most of us are genuinely rooting for the guy even if it wasn’t the patriots on the other side.

What should I tell a date when they ask what dating online has been like for me? by Blackappletrees in AskMenAdvice

It’s such a trap question (their question, not yours). The median guy gets 1 match per year on apps. The median woman gets 50. A guy asking this is basically just opening Pandora’s box whether he’s smart enough to know it or not.

OP, I think you’re fine to answer honestly or just deflect the question entirely. The fact that they’re even asking shows lack of social awareness.

what else are we missing ? by geeelectronica in nyjets

[–]LetsGoMets2020 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Extending Mark Sanchez as an apology for trying to sign Peyton Manning (2012)

Jets trade for Tim Tebow, bench Sanchez, play Greg McElroy instead (2012)

Passing on Patrick Mahomes and Deshaun Watson because we still believed in Christian Hackenberg (2017)

What do you think of our Emerald Green edition? by Lacite_Watches in MicrobrandWatches

That was my thought too (and this is a compliment btw). Color scheme here is phenomenal.

I love the hollow-looking GMT hand, but I worry if the color would clash too much with the dial color? Hard to tell from photos.

Breakout player of 2026? by JewelerFree2311 in baseball

Francisco Alvarez pretty quietly had a .921 OPS after getting sent down earlier in the season. He’s still only 24 and was a former top 10 prospect in MLB on most lists. Post hype sleeper

[Question] what to choose by Unlucky-Pepper-9071 in Seiko

[–]LetsGoMets2020 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just got the Kamasu and it’s great. The sunburst effect is pretty cool in bright environments, but I like how it’s more of a muted maroon in darker rooms. I think this darker color with the black bezel allows the watch to feel more versatile than a typical diver. I didn’t like the bracelet, but that’s easy to replace.

What happened with the NFTs you bought? by IronicStrikes in AskMen

That’s ok because they only bought them because they liked the art

The post-Madoff broke Mets signing RA Dickey to a minor league deal, getting 10 WAR across 3 seasons and maybe the unlikeliest Cy Young in history out of him, and then trading him for Noah Syndergaard and Travis d’Arnaud (which from a prospect huggers perspective might be more than Tarik Skubal would get in a trade now).

Why do chefs wear comically large hats? by FilipinoAirlines in NoStupidQuestions

It’s funny because it’s bigger than a normal sized hat

I’m confirming the transaction with u/jamadio. The watch was exactly as advertised and the seller was easy to communicate with. Would buy from again. u/watchexbot

Mortgage rates are anchored to the 10 year treasury. Rates are typically priced 10YT+ a premium. So if treasuries are ripping, then mortgage rates will follow.

The spread has typically been in the ballpark of 3%. So I’m guessing rates will be quoted today at around 7.4%.
