The right, whatever it looks like after this, can't be squeamish about addressing scams like this going forward. This is a power grab. Attacking it isn't "weaponized government."
Part of getting older is realizing it doesn't matter at all where the Jets pick, they're going to Jets, until something radically changes, which it won't.
Jets face:
Kyle McCord
Carson Beck
Winless Chargers
Buffalo resting starters
Dolphins tanked correctly
Eagles tanked correctly
Raiders tanked correctly
Aaron Glenn fighting for 5 wins while the intelligent teams tank
Feels like Pick 5 & 9-no man's land.
Awful process #Jets

My unpopular opinion is that gamer dudes are basically the romantic marketplace equivalent of cat ladies. There's prob a niche person for you but it's a turn-off to the opposite sex.

He's being hyperbolic but this is also sort of an out of touch, rich guy reference. You need a million bucks to feel middle class if you are trying to buy an apartment in Manhattan.

Love this. Was hopelessly single until 37. Just welcomed my 4th at 44. Young bros, just keep pushing forward.
Mostly fine, but some "this isn't even their best album" and massive younger millennial bias. Criminal to exclude Replacements, Nada Surf, and Sunny Day Real Estate. I'm sure there are others I'm forgetting.
This Pitchfork list of the "Best Indie Rock Ever" is like a centrist Dem's idea of progressive politics.

I lived in Landover. Its full of long term fallow properties like this. Should have been an easy sales pitch for local government and data companies. Fix your messaging.

Nothingburger. For better or worse, influence operations are just shifting from think tanks to more relevant platforms. Fewer people read white papers. Opinion pages are all paywalled. Organizations who want to retain influence in this environment can adapt or die.
Sorry, they screwed a lot up but getting rid of race based districts in accordance with Founding principles amd SCOTUS rulings was right and just.
Few things have inspired black voters to vote across the South more than Trump’s redistricting initiative to wipe out black voting districts. Even in states that didn’t do it, the threat of it mobilized black voters more than anything in recent decades. What Stacey Abrams could not do, Trump did.

Colorado continues to signal that it despises Christians and everyone's just like "oooo look at the quirky moderate governor."
1. Colorado insists on creating culture-war clashes and losing at the Supreme Court. As Justice Alito pointed out in this morning's argument, St. Mary Catholic Parish will be the fourth case in recent years where that's happened, after Masterpiece Cakeshop, 303 Creative, and Chiles v. Salazar. When there are copious preschools available for families whose beliefs don't comport with Catholic teachings, why insist on cramming progressive orthodoxy down the throats of religious minorities? A majority of justices is just not going to approve that, regardless of more abstruse discussions over the meaning of strict judicial scrutiny (which laws incidentally burdening religious liberty in 40 states and the federal government have to survive to comply with their Religious Freedom Restoration Acts). Colorado is insisting on a strange and false notion of plurality. We should instead allow a thousand preschools to bloom, with everyone sitting "in safety under his own vine and figtree"—to quote George Washington's 1790 letter to the Jews of Newport, Rhode Island. As Justice Kavanaugh said, "what are we even doing here?"

I'm glad he's not having kids, but for jetset types, I'd just say that my wife has traveled all over the world, seen all the wonders there are to see see, and says that nothing compares to being a mom. Take that for what its worth.
Seth Rogen says he and his wife are now more grateful than ever that they decided not to have children he’s not afraid to explain why.
He admits they used to question whether they’d made the right decision, but now their conversations have shifted to, “Honestly, thank God we don’t have children.”
His reasoning? They’re in the prime of their lives, understand themselves better than ever, and have the freedom to pursue their careers, enjoy life, and build the kind of relationship they’ve always wanted.
But Seth took it a step further, saying he sees people with children struggling to find the same time for work and personal enjoyment that he and his wife have.
“I seem to get a lot more active enjoyment out of not having kids than anyone I know seems to get out of having kids.”
That statement will probably divide people. Some see raising children as life’s greatest joy, while others believe a fulfilling life doesn’t have to include parenthood.
Do you think Seth has a point, or is there a kind of happiness you can only understand after having children?

Anyone is a disaster for the Jets they are multi generationally incapable of developing quarterbacks. Last guy they developed was Pennington, and he sat until they were basically forced to play him.

What a disaster this would be for the #Jets

The best argument for tossing him is the offense has looked good and maybe you make Reich interim and he looks good and you don't need a total systemic overhaul once again.
The strongest argument for keeping Aaron Glenn is that he gives the Jets their best chance at the No. 1 pick.
The man was born to lose football games.
The winless Chargers and Dolphins are coming up on the schedule.
The path to eternal glory is right there. Don't screw this up.

The Jets have to be one of the few teams ever to score 30 points, average 6 yards per carry, and still lose a game. The Chiefs have apparently done it 3 times this year and are undefeated.
The Raiders ran the ball for a paltry 2.9 yards per clip, while the Jets finished at 6.1 ... and the Jets LOST the game. Unbelievable.

I have a feeling we're going to see the Frank Reich interim show soon. Offense has shown too much to not give him the shot, even if he's historically mediocre.
The general consensus is that there's no way the Jets fire Aaron Glenn before the end of the season... but wow, he's not making it easy for them.

People credit him for this but it traditionally took his teams 8 weeks to get in shape and they were grossly unprepared every year he was there.

On this date in 2002 with the @nyjets at 2-5 and everyone counting them out Herm Edwards gave his famous "you play to win the game" rant. That week they destroyed an AFC West team turning around the season and won the AFC East.

Since Rex Ryan left. Its that bad.
It all adds up.
Didn’t use a TO at the end of the 1st half so they forfeited a scoring opportunity.
Missed a FG. Didn’t score a TD from 1st and goal at the 1.
Football games are won in the margins and the Jets consistently lose there. Every week. Without fail.
The Jets are at a schematic disadvantage and a coaching/game management disadvantage every week.
Hard to win consistently in the NFL when that’s the case even if the roster is talented and the offense is explosive.
