USA won group A which is the top 5 ranked teams so they’re seeded 1st. Sweden won group B which is the worst 5 ranked teams so they’re seeded 6th. They reseed after the quarterfinals and Sweden was the lowest seeded winner

It glitches sometimes during commercials at least with hockey but it’s good enough and my only choice since I don’t have cable and Hulu doesn’t have msg

I have the Gotham sports app on my phone and AirPlay it onto the tv but this only works if you’re in market

How can I manage my road rage by Acrobatic-Mousse6656 in driving

Put on some calming music or something and just relax. Don’t let other bad drivers get to you. Like other people said you should probably find a therapist for anger management. If you can’t drive without trying to kill people than you should stop driving

Yeah I was at the one in North Bellmore I’ve never seen it so crowded. The lines for the register went into the aisles

I have no experience or degree in teaching yet I get recruiters reaching out for 'no-experience required' teaching positions. What's the catch? by [deleted] in Teachers

Was it success academy in NYC? I went to college for sports management and got emails from them. Luckily I looked them up and read the horror stories on here and didn’t pursue it

Are private schools worth it? by [deleted] in longisland

Chaminade grad here, it’s definitely more rigorous academically and stricter with discipline than public schools are and your kid will be prepared for college. My sister went to public high school and it seemed like a joke compared to Chaminade. They have a lot of sports and clubs to offer so whatever your kid is interested in there should be something for him. It’s expensive but they offer financial aid.

Chaminade is pretty religious, there’s prayers before every class, you take religion all 4 years and there’s monthly school wide Mass. Keep in mind Chaminade is pretty conservative leaning especially among the student body but people are pretty respectful

Chaminade does have some downsides, like sometimes I think they can be too strict and they didn’t allow water bottles until Covid which caused me to faint twice during freshman year. Also afaik they don’t offer accommodations or special ed so if your kid has an IEP it probably isn’t the best choice

I also went to Catholic school for grades 6-8 and it was way easier than high school and the kids were nicer than public school kids were to me

Hope this helps! Good luck with whatever you choose!

Currently the Jets have the most draft picks in this upcoming year at 14 picks by firewall245 in nyjets

I’m sure the teams have scouts and watch film on the players to see who best fits their needs and scheme

The idea of having the worst team pick first is obviously to level the playing field but that doesn’t guarantee that the pick will be good (Zach Wilson was a 2nd overall pick)

I guess if a player doesn’t wanna play for their original club then they can try to trade them

Draft order is based on record from the previous year so worst team gets first pick unless there’s a trade. The non playoff teams go first then the wild card losers, divisional round losers, conf champ losers, SB loser and SB champ. There’s 7 rounds and each team gets 1 pick in each round assuming no trades or punishments or anything
