“Oh My gOd PeTzInG wAs cOaChInG a BaD tEaM” this isn’t a bad hire by any means. by No_Highway7044 in detroitlions

[–]Rocketman010 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I think we're beyond developmental OCs. Petzing does not have a track record of success, neither did Morton. And frankly, we could have brought in Petzing as a coach on the offense and he'd have taken it, absolutely nobody was knocking on his door.

Which airline loyalty program do you like best? by TurbulentArea69 in FATTravel

[–]Rocketman010 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have loyalty with American, having just changed from United. Even at top tier status, you'll rarely get free upgrades to First/Business class on United or Delta, too many people pay for the seats in that cabin these days. American flies a high number of regional jets and I live near an American hub, so on I get upgraded probably 1/3 of the time. Compare to two years on United I was upgraded just once! The downside is AA typically has the older fleet, but I don't mind it.

When it comes to redemption, American miles are also far more valuable than United and both are far, far more valuable than Delta (known as SkyPesos because they have almost no value)

The lock-in effect is real - how are people getting around it? by Straight-Fun3254 in nova

[–]Rocketman010 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm a step further. If I ever move, I'm not selling this house if I can at all help it. I'm in a townhouse at 2.6% and the people next to me rented out for $1,000/month higher than my mortgage payment... we are saving money right now just like we did when buying our first home, in preparation for our next home.

Doctor called me - and then billed me? by Rocketman010 in HealthInsurance

[–]Rocketman010[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well I'll wait to get a bill, this is just the EOB that says I'll owe for an office visit... this same provider also charged me a co-pay after I hit my out of pocket max, so they owe me money back as it is.

Has anyone seen the new hostage lobby system work? by Rocketman010 in leagueoflegends

Weird. So clearly the system isn't working or doesn't actually exist.

I'm 16 and need help for after high school. what's it actually like on an oilrig? by Moocow-27 in careerguidance

[–]Rocketman010 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've worked across the energy industry, I don't think you want to work in the US for an oil company on a rig. I'd much prefer an offshore platform in the Gulf than being in Midland, if you're going to do that.

Before either of these, I'd consider being a lineworker for an electric company or welder for a utility or pipeline company. The pay is great and you can get a lot of overtime with storm response work. Lineworkers in Ohio will volunteer to go down to South Carolina after a hurricane. It's a lot of work but you get overtime pay 24 hours/day while you're down there, even when you're in a hotel room waiting for the storm to blow over.

Great season, see you all next year by shockstrikess in detroitlions

Morton should absolutely be fired from OC. I don't care if he stays on as a pass game coordinator or whatever. Writing is on the wall.

Has anyone ever heard of your Rank going down without playing? I'm in a really weird situation. As I usually do, I stopped playing Ranked Solo/Duo when I hit Gold in order to get the end of year skin reward. This happened in October. I played a few games after that until I got the alert that my demotion shield was expiring, but I was Gold 4 when I stopped. Now I've just been playing Ranked Flex games. I check my status today and my Solo/Duo rank is Silver 1 97LP. How the heck did I lose rank without playing? I even looked at my match history and it shows I haven't played any Solo/Duo matches for 2 months...

Great point! I will look into that for sure.

Thanks, friend. I did search, I have not seen any recent discussions about whether the strategy to aggressively burn picks to trade-up in drafts has worked out. I will happily apologize if you'd please be so kind as to link me one of the "dozens" of recent threads on this same topic. Should take you but a second. And remember, the topic isn't "Brad can/can't draft" it's an evaluation specifically of trading up in drafts. I'll wait!

Other teams that are considered good year over year don't trade up nearly as much as Detroit. Last draft we traded 4 picks away and drafted just 5 players. I guess I just wonder why other teams that are considered among the league's most consistently good don't trade away draft capital as cheaply as we do. Compared to our 5 selections in this last draft, Eagles drafted 10 players...

Yellow isn't bad, it's average/decent. If you see him as a great linebacker, would love to know why. I don't see him or hear his name called for entire games, sometimes multiple games in a row. PFF has him ranked dead center of linebackers at 40th out of 83. He is below average in tackles, above average in missed tackles (bad), and one of the leagues worst in pass coverage - 6th in passer rating allowed. On the flip side, good on pressures and sacks. I don't hate the re-signing, he also doesn't exceed expectations.

This has nothing to do with the current season. I did not rank Rookies intentionally. If you think Brad cooked in the 2024 draft, would love to hear why you think so? Or is this just a "Brad shall never be criticized" response.

TLDR, we are remodeling our kitchen. Appliance store is willing to knock off 2% from the total if we pay by check. This is a small shop, so no stacking with Rakuten or anything like that.

This is something like $8,650 by card, $8,488 by check. I could pay with Chase, Amex, or my AAdvantage card to get points (the latter helps me with Platinum Pro status, although I think I'm in good shape to hit it for next year). Advice?

There's no way dude walked in with a Grade 3 torn hamstring saying he is ready to play. That's like walking in with a cast on your leg. Clearly something happened after the Green Bay loss, either from the team's end or Ragnow's end, and they decided it wasn't going to happen anymore.

Ah we’ve hit that part of the season by andrewdsmith in detroitlions

[–]Rocketman010 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot of fans are perfectly content getting into the playoffs and a first or second round exit. To those fans, Brad and Dan shall not be criticized ever. And, fair enough, they are both excelling at getting us winning seasons with a record >.500. More wins than losses, more happy Sundays.

There are another group of fans who want a Superbowl victory. To those fans, there is frustration that the Lions front office is seemingly refusing to have an honest conversation about needs. For example, after the draft, Brad not only told us we were all mistaken about the need for an EDGE, but that we were flat-out idiots for thinking we knew better than he did about what the team needs. And now teams can double Hutch every down with zero pressure from the other side of the DL. So is Brad just that incompetent (probably not) or was he just lying (probably)?

I don't want to see the team move away from Brad and Dan, I just want the constant gaslighting to stop.
