Arthur Smith is now working on getting Jonnu an extra year of eligibility at Ohio State

Pretty happy, tbh. I love Trent, he's a fantastic player, and seems like a good person.

Chiefs are in cap hell, and he's going to want $30M+ (and deserves it!). They can't pay that.

The return in picks is fantastic, significantly better than I expected, tbh.

Here's the trade value of all of those picks going to KC.

*Note that my calculator app needs a pick from both teams to function, so I threw in the last pick in round 7. It's fake.

**There is also a bit of uncertainty about which exact 6th rounder is going to Chiefs.

The most important piece of draft information out there: The top 40 prospects (by consensus board) by what Pokemon they are close to in height and weight (removing duplicate use of Pokemon)

this is horrifying

Travis Etienne has had more yards on explosive runs the last 2 seasons (717) than the entire Chiefs backfield (677) per @ftnfantasy.com

This year's edge class:

what's a "pipes" ?? #rstats

Think this is a good illustration of the positions where you can likely find quality players in free agency. Will be plenty of young talent available at RB, LB, and DB. Pickings are slim at QB, WR, and especially OT.

Incredible start to finish run by the Seahawks.

17-3 record, and their three losses were by a combined 9 points. Did not lose by more than 4 points all season long.

This was a weird season, but no doubt they're a worthy champ. Dominant.

Super Bowl LX: Seahawks vs Patriots

Seahawks more than 2-1 favorites in this game. They have the advantage in overall defense, while the Patriots offense is stronger.

Both teams are good at explosive plays, but both are also good at stopping them. Could be the game there.

dplyr 1.2.0 is out now and we are SO excited!

- `filter_out()` for dropping rows

- `recode_values()`, `replace_values()`, and `replace_when()` that join `case_when()` as a complete family of recoding/replacing tools

These are huge quality of life wins for #rstats!

Oh buddy… this could be real fun!!

Hope this forms toys back the rest of the books too much though. We’re already looking at like 15 years for Stormlight 10 to come out.

And I am *dying* for the Dragonsteel series to come out, about Hoid.

A vase of red and orange two-tone roses

My wife brought me home roses 🌹 because she saw them and immediately thought of me. They’re exactly the ones I love, two-toned with red and orange, like a fire 🔥

As Hamilton would sing, my Love is the
🎶 “best of wives and best of women” 🎶

Wow! This read-along of the NYT moment-by-moment leading to the murder of Alex Pretti should shake everyone awake. He was a Good Samaritan.

Agents fired at least ten shots in roughly five seconds. DHS and Pam Bondi claim Pretti approached them armed and intent on a “massacre.”

Asked my son who will coach the Browns and he said “Blippi” and you know what? Not a bad call at this point

By DVOA, the Patriots only played/will play three games against teams that were above average on *both* offense and defense:

Pittsburgh
Denver
Super Bowl LX

Alex Pretti used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians

"He was trying to help someone else they'd knocked to the ground. And for that they started pepper spraying him. And then the pistol whipped him and murdered him

Alex Pretti from his early days working at the VA

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

White. Hot. Rage.

Abolish ICE is now the moderate minimum position,

Prosecute ICE is where Dems should be at next.
