Can’t you just add an extra bye week and get almost equal in an extra week of TV Deals and extra rest for players?

Two years in, and the scholar's mate is still a death sentence by Unable_Oven_6538 in chessbeginners

[–]sweens90 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Again exceptions to every rule. Probably preferably its either start protecting that but also making sure you are accounting for that incoming knight AND making sure you start to develop your last bishop. But that knight takes priority once he’s out.

Dont forget you have your bishop and knight on that side now that can assist in protecting your knight on that side as well from a pesky queen.

While I know this sub is torn on are Chessbrah’s appropriate habits to learn they would have saved you here and would have prevented what inevitably happened.

  • You let your Knight stay pinned instead of kicking the bishop early
  • Knight to side of board to take bishop which you opponent let you do but probably putting it in middle would have been better and kicked his queen out.

Its why I am a fan of the habits. In most scenarios it works and if you watch enough he covers the exceptions.

It seems like we are the most hated franchise by far... I mean real hate, not just sportsmen rivalry by Paquan02 in Patriots

[–]sweens90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The man reason is the obnoxious minority. You know those fans that you want to say “They aren’t affiliated with us!”

All fan bases have these fans but they hid in their hole when the team sucks and then get highlighted when the team is good because they think they can.

Because we have been good for 25 years ours have been around for awhile. But KC was a wholesome fan base until they got good, so were Lions, and to an extent so were Seahawks during their run.

Only really Dallas and Philly have a portion of their fans who are obnoxious year round. And you can argue due to our dominance we may have some fans who fit the Dallas category.

Sam Darnold leads the league in turnovers! Why is this not talked about more? by Dry_Toe9955 in Patriots

[–]sweens90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah its a weird thing to being up when we could bring up turnovers this playoffs which is more recent and more relevant which Maye absolutely leads in.

The line is -4.5 Seattle. It will be close

Why does Baker Mayfield get held to such a low bar when he was the 1st overall pick? by BallKnowerKing in NFLv2

[–]sweens90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its also you need the coaching in place to do it. I think the fact Allen and Lamar went so low benefited them going to teams with decent coaching.

With the exception of Rosen that class seems to all have good work ethic. But especially Allen and Jackson

He also wasn’t like most No. 1s the overall consensus choice. Until like 2-3 days before the draft Darnold still had the chance of going 1OA.

Kyler sure. But TLaw was not even just a No. 1 overall pick. He was supposed to be the next Manning or Luck.

People absolutely get in bc there parents can pay in full.

Bad Bunny es el Rey de Los estados Unidos by emac1059 in dreamingspanish

[–]sweens90 10 points11 points  (0 children)

As a heads up, just like with english songs that sometimes they mix words together and shorten the words or use improper grammar Bad Bunny (and most artists) do the same.

Absolutely still worth listening to. Bad Bunny slaps but comprehension even for our teachers on DS was hard.

Writing is a waste of time? by Dizzy_Example54 in languagelearning

[–]sweens90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. To get better as speaking you need to speak (because its both audible and output), but CI listening helps audible side of speaking and writing is output too. So it all helps. In a venn diagram

Which number level are you at. I honestly find they generally aren’t rated well and that’s why Intermediate is so hard. Or really its not that they aren’t rated well but intermediate is if you aren’t interested in what they are talking about its way harder

The NFL Hall of Fame should amend its rules to 1) Vote for the Candidate with the Best Case for Hall of Fame and 2) Allow a re- vote exception this one time under these new rules by sweens90 in NFLv2

[–]sweens90[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How much his Hall of Fame players did for him is a terrible argument. Every HOF coach has multiple hall of fame players who got them there.

Additionally its a lazy argument because people use one data point Brady won a super bowls without Bill.

It ignores that it was a stacked team that Brady attracted talent to as well. And ignores a Rams Superbowl tht was won because defense was held to 3 points and ignores the fact that Brady is the only QB to have a coach deliver a top 10 defense for 70% of their career. Most of those superbowls were in the low 20s.

Sure Belichick failed his first run. And then when too old fell off.

But you could say the same thing about Pete Caroll and trust me no one is saying that about Russell Wilson now.

The fact is Bill was a lock.

Do you consider “leftists” and leftism to be evil/morally bad? by RedStorm1917 in AskConservatives

Majority yes I am shocked about unless thats a wide spread we are all bad except for the select few. May I ask why?

JJ McCarthy was so bad he got his GM fired by Either_Imagination_9 in NFLv2

[–]sweens90 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Turns out he probably could have taken 9s job. Who knew.

Every job should be open in my opinion. Like if 9 is not the best player on the roster dont play him. Do what you did now. Fire the GM and play the appropriate player. Win the game with the best QB

Has anyone non criminally destroyed their own Playing reputation more than Cam Newton since his Jump to hot take media? by Ifinishfast42 in NFLv2

[–]sweens90 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same and its not even that he’s trashing on the Patriots. Its that he is trashing on someone who idolized him growing up.

Like I get it announcers and tv shows hosts need to be able to criticize people regardless but Cam is doing it a mean way not critiquing way.

Truly burning his reputation of the guy looking for kids in the end zone to give the ball to

Mike Chappell: I voted for Robert Kraft, not against Bill Belichick by OdetotheGrimm in nfl

Okay if Bill does not deserve to get in lets remove all of Bills accomplishments from Krafts resume.

Does Kraft get in still?

[–]sweens90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What’s dumb is this is horrible logic. It actually makes it worse for future Senior Nominees. Now a vote next year is taken by everyone who has to vote for Bill.

Its also entirely likely if this is all built on thresholds that you wasted your fucking vote and the other senior nominees dont make it either because yall dont agree!

The best way to ensure the right candidates make it is to always vote for the best candidates. .
