Cimini is a duntz

[pdxgreen]

Cimini can be a dour, cynical crank sometimes but I respect his print era style.  Sports writers/columnists I grew up reading like TJ Simers, Thomas Boswell, Peter Gammons, Kerry Eggers, Lisa Olson, Bill Plaschke... all came from that "get good sources, get the facts, write good copy" mentality.  Cimini may be overly critical at times.  But I can at least read that style in his work.  And I'll take that over the garbage Mehta spews any day of the week.

Oh no! They might be closing some vape shops!? I guess you can't smoke watermelon Vape anymore? Go do some f****** push-ups and dig a hole or something. Go help your father shovel the snow. Oh I mean your mom's new boyfriend.

I'll take any  three..50 year old real men and fight 20 Millennials any day. A bunch of underdeveloped, computer screen staring, don't hit me or I'll call the cops wiffle ball bat pussies!

Im pre baby boomer have a cell phone and computer smart.. But I'm also been a Jet fan since the Titan days so there's that impediment..

[varjet]

Let’s see where the Jets are drafting.  Then JD needs to make a bet as to who is going to be available in the draft and FA.

Everyone talks about possibly re-signing Robby as if it were the Jets’ option.  The Jets’ bargaining power is basically ending.  I would think if they wanted to resign him they would have done it already.  

The Jets need a strong WR or LT from the draft, and they will need to sign a capable LT or WR that they don’t draft.  So JD has to figure out who is going to be available. 

It would appear that Thomas, Wirfs and Riggs can play T, although Riggs may be only RT.   It would also appear that Jeudy and Lamb can be WR1.   One of these five players will fall to the Jets.  Mocks are showing they QBs going high, as they should.  A QB like Love who is a “project” will go high because Mahomes, Watson and Jackson were also projects who fell.  

Plan A could be to sign Robby and plan on drafting BPA T.  Signing Beachum for fair money, and also a G and possibly C if there is one, could also be a good move.  

Plan B would be to plan on drafting BPA WR and signing as many FA OL as we can.  That is also a decent plan.  

Mac would draft one of the DL.  Hopefully JD does not do that.  

There are also good CBS and S that could fall to the Jets.  

One of Jeudy, Lamb, Thomas, Wirfs and Riggs will fall to the Jets.   Let’s see who JD signs.

Take back what you said about my goddam breakfast waffle tacos!!!!!!!

[slats]

The article has Anderson asking for $14M/year (too rich for my blood), and Jamal Adams "probably wanting to be the highest paid strong safety," (no source cited) at $15M/year. At those numbers, you have to start looking past both players. 

Cimini says Joe Douglas wanted a first and two seconds for Adams, and if someone wants to pony that up, that's hard to pass up. Fans want JD to fix this team thru the draft. Me too. Realistically, how many rookies can we really expect to make an impact in their first year? Cashman and Austin were nice finds from Mac last year, but that's not the norm. After the third round, you're drafting special teamers and developmental guys. Jets have a first, second and two thirds coming up. Big, big difference between that and two firsts, three seconds, and two thirds. I recognize that Jamal is a great player, but Rontez Miles could step right in and do most of what Adams does, and those three high picks could really help fix the OL, WRs, and pass rush. 

He also has the best case scenario in a Bell trade being a fourth round pick, and that would be with the Jets agreeing to eat a chunk of that contract. I'm sure JD will shop him, but he could easily decide that they're better off keeping him for the year.

They most certainly were.  The Millennial generation started in 1980.  The oldest Millennials were in their early 20's when the Afghanistan and Iraq wars started.  Before you rant and rave about how soft we are, maybe you should get your facts straight.  We took the brunt of the casualties in these wars.

Just so we can all be aware of who is what:

Baby boomers (also known as boomers) are the demographic cohort following the Silent Generation and preceding Generation X. The Baby Boom generation is most often defined as those individuals born between 1946 and 1964.

Generation X (or Gen X) is the demographic cohort following the baby boomers and preceding the Millennials. Researchers and popular media typically use birth years around 1965 to 1980 to define Generation Xers, although some sources use birth years beginning as early as 1960 and ending somewhere from 1977 to 1984

Millennials, also known as Generation Y (or simply Gen Y), are the demographic cohort following Generation X and preceding Generation Z. Researchers and popular media use the early 1980s as starting birth years and the mid-1990s to early 2000s as ending birth years, with 1981 to 1996 a widely accepted definition.

Generation Z, or Gen Z for short, is the demographic cohort succeeding the Millennials (or Gen Y). Demographers and researchers typically use the mid- to late-1990s as starting birth years, while consensus has not been reached on the ending birth years.

Old tired way of thinking. Welcome to the new world 

In the new world we've had to dumb down education, and actually put pictures of lettuce tomatoes and cheese on the buttons at McDonald's. And they stopped teaching cursive in schools about 10 or 15 years ago so nobody can even sign their own name.

When I was a kid if you used a calculator in school it was considered cheating. This new generation relies on it!? Aside of video games, Netflix, Vaping, Trap music and breakfast tacos what has this generation contributed to anything at all!?

 Seriously... Anything?

The original war with Iraq was the Persian Gulf War in 1991. That's what I was referring to. There were no 11 year old Millennials fighting in that war. That was George Bush and the night attack and where it all started.

It was 400 miles away I wasn't fact-checking. When you said Iraq I immediately thought of Saddam Hussein and 1991 and the air raid at night. That all culminated when we actually caught Saddam almost 15 years later by President Bush's son George W. To me the original war with Iraq not in Iraq started in the early 90s.
