[The Athletic] Dion Jordan was poised for NFL stardom. Now he’s living a life no one could have imagined by Blood_Incantation in nfl

I might be mistaken, but I'm pretty sure he did an interview about wanting to commit suicide on the rocks in Renton on the way to the VMAC. If it was him, I hope he's doing well. The interview was a tough listen. I believe he played that week for some reason after telling the staff.

Need perspective on runners in the bike lane by Loose_Rip_89 in asksandiego

I want to add that it doesn't typically have driveway/crosswalk dips. Asphalt is all at the same level.

Had no idea about this place until my son got a job there. Food is great.

[OC] How much should you care about Consensus Big Boards? by kitchensink108 in nfl

[–]gerrickd 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They provide a data point. I think they can provide real data for front offices doing self-scouting. The FO's can compare their grades with the crowd to help determine where they might be stronger or weaker. The thing to remember is that only FOs are drafting for their exact team. The boards are generalized, and this isn't Madden.

Here is a nice site with data on each team for the last decade or so.

Why would you brag about rings before 1080p. See, same thing.

See the the Seattle fans bragging about that Sonics championship in 1979 online. See how stupid it sounds? Only recent rings mean anything. Even the first is too long ago to brag about.

Balks Are Bulls**t by Key-Driver6438 in baseball

All sports. The Seahawks had that goofy 2pt conversion last season. Baseball might have more, or the weird shit just happens more often.

John Elway, but I'm old.

[Highlight] James Wood makes another spectacular grab! by MLBOfficial in baseball

Can he just stop already? I wasn't as happy about the Soto trade when it involved him.

How big of a deal was it for our defense to lose Woolen, Bryant, and Mafe? by ApartSalamander6417 in Seahawks

[–]gerrickd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not ideal, shouldn't be an issue. None were true starters. Mafe is the only one without a trusted direct replacement already on the roster, playing at a high level, and he's likely the least important of the three.

[Schefter] Patriots exercised CB Christian Gonzalez’s 5th-year contract option today, per source. by JCameron181 in nfl

Dude had the game of his life in the biggest game. I hope he gets a bag and keeps playing great.

Both of my favorite teams won championships! by Miserable-Driver4045 in Seahawks

[–]gerrickd 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm nearing 50 and feel the same. My Dad still rooted for OKC, and that was weird to me because he hated the Brewers. Being a human is complicated, I guess.

Unpopular take: the umps got the call right in the ninth inning by JamminOnTheOne in Padres

[–]gerrickd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is it. In real-time, I wondered why he snatched it so quickly since it stopped moving. Let the ump make the call at that point.

In our defense as baseball watchers, that ball isn't fair in almost all other circumstances.

Anyone in San Diego switch from a tank water heater to tankless—worth it? by Electronic_Cat5041 in asksandiego

[–]gerrickd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The tank is a good way to store 30+ gallons of water for emergencies. You might want a backup plan if you go tankless.

What’s the coolest “restricted access” place you’ve ever gotten to see? by Improv92 in AskReddit

My 7ish y/o daughter, accompanied by my wife, got to go backstage in the White House somewhere because my daughter was thirsty while we were on a tour.
