@NYCMayor Hard to fuck that up but you did it.

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

@BrandonTierney Dude the team has the longest playoff draught in pro sports. The bar is so low we’re cheering the signing of a 36 year old Geno Smith who just led his team to the #1 pick. Don’t get pissy at jets fans because we’re not doing cartwheels.

Geno Smith is a slightly above average NFL vet the Jets acquired for draft peanuts and salary loose change and lint. You cannot raise the floor with QB’s who connect on 59% of their passes. By every OBJECTIVE measure, solid move. Yell and scream all you want—given where they are, what was available and what they paid…Mougey win. No other way to process it. But of course, you’ll find a way to shit on the Jets. Easy target. Lazy takes. On brand for most Jets fans.

@Computershare why are you so difficult to work with?

@tonypayments High hopes for this season, Tony?

Objectively hilarious fanbase I’m sorry

@Connor_J_Hughes Has there ever been a worse time to be a jets fan?

Sources: Now that the #Jets have their starter (Geno Smith), they will turn their attention to the No. 2 job. Carson Wentz is squarely in the mix there.

@RichCimini Just get rid of this guy already. He doesn’t want to be here and he’s always complaining about something. He’s good, not great and the team most likely isn’t going anywhere this year anyways.

👀

@MyGolfSpy How does Bethpage not make the list?

@Michael_Nania I’ll pass

Now that he'll be getting released, count me in on Kyler Murray for the Jets. I just think he'll have more appealing options. It'll come down to whether the Jets offer him the safest starting opportunity (as opposed to something like Minnesota with McCarthy looming, etc.)

@LegerDouzable I’d feel awful.

Jets Nation how, would you feel if the Jets signed Kyler Murray to a 1 year deal?

@RobbySabo Will be another long season.

Here's a quick look at a few potential New York #Jets packages (hybrid, 3-4 and 4-3-principled fronts) with Arvell Reese, Alex Anzalone, and big fella T'Vondre Sweat. —Too heavy right now, even for the 3-4 stuff (they need one or two true 3-tech types, in general). Key takeaway, in terms of vision: Heavy and 2-gap ability, allowing the versatility between even and odd to take place. —Reese can play off-ball, too, but he suits the Jack more than McDonald. Reese can A or B-gap mug in certain sub-packages, and even play the $ if Glenn finds a J for the Mint (or any Tite looks). —Can Sweat extend out into a 4i or even 3 consistently (while in 4-down subpackages via pass-rushing)? Can he expand when asked? I'm not sure yet. —Anzalone would be the WILL in base, MIKE in subpackage (nickel, green dot across the board), if I had to guess.

@Willpa11 But Will he rushed for 1200 yards in high school!

@PopCrave Throws a football like my sister

Ryan Gosling “throws” a Hail Mary ahead of the next ‘Project Hail Mary’ trailer this weekend.

@sama Every tweet feels disengenious

First, the good part of the Anthropic ads: they are funny, and I laughed. But I wonder why Anthropic would go for something so clearly dishonest. Our most important principle for ads says that we won’t do exactly this; we would obviously never run ads in the way Anthropic depicts them. We are not stupid and we know our users would reject that. I guess it’s on brand for Anthropic doublespeak to use a deceptive ad to critique theoretical deceptive ads that aren’t real, but a Super Bowl ad is not where I would expect it. More importantly, we believe everyone deserves to use AI and are committed to free access, because we believe access creates agency. More Texans use ChatGPT for free than total people use Claude in the US, so we have a differently-shaped problem than they do. (If you want to pay for ChatGPT Plus or Pro, we don't show you ads.) Anthropic serves an expensive product to rich people. We are glad they do that and we are doing that too, but we also feel strongly that we need to bring AI to billions of people who can’t pay for subscriptions. Maybe even more importantly: Anthropic wants to control what people do with AI—they block companies they don't like from using their coding product (including us), they want to write the rules themselves for what people can and can't use AI for, and now they also want to tell other companies what their business models can be. We are committed to broad, democratic decision making in addition to access. We are also committed to building the most resilient ecosystem for advanced AI. We care a great deal about safe, broadly beneficial AGI, and we know the only way to get there is to work with the world to prepare. One authoritarian company won't get us there on their own, to say nothing of the other obvious risks. It is a dark path. As for our Super Bowl ad: it’s about builders, and how anyone can now build anything. We are enjoying watching so many people switch to Codex. There have now been 500,000 app downloads since launch on Monday, and we think builders are really going to love what’s coming in the next few weeks. I believe Codex is going to win. We will continue to work hard to make even more intelligence available for lower and lower prices to our users. This time belongs to the builders, not the people who want to control them.

@RichCimini Wasting draft capital on Brissett sucks. I’d rather tank again than watch Brissett all year.

If you look at Frank Reich's coaching career, he's worked almost exclusively with taller, pocket-style passers. The exception was his last QB, Bryce Young (5-10) -- and that was a disaster. (There were rumors that Reich didn't want to draft Young and preferred C.J. Stroud.) The name to watch is Jacoby Brissett (Arizona), Reich's starter in 2019 (Colts). He's under contract, so the Jets would have to trade for him. Another former Reich QB is free agent Carson Wentz, but that didn't end well in Indy and he's only 3 months removed from left-shoulder surgery. #Jets

@RacingDFS @dreamingtr3e @RichCimini @DMRussini Wild take.

@dreamingtr3e @RichCimini not kool-aid. @DMRussini is the only one who reported the Jets had a plan. all the other beat reporters were reporting like the Jets were in full scramble mode.

Five candidates interviewed for the Jets' OC vacancy, per team: Darrell Bevell (Mia QBs/pass game) Ronald Curry (Buf QBs) Frank Reich (Stanford adviser) Greg Roman (LAC OC) Lunda Wells (DAL TEs) The Jets are Rooney Rule compliant and can hire an OC at any time. All eyes on Reich. #Jets

@BarackObama It’s almost as if politicians haven’t realized how the internet works.

More and more Americans are voicing their outrage at the tactics being deployed by federal agents in Minnesota. But it’s important to understand the broader implications of what this administration is doing, and the threat it poses to the basic freedoms of every American.

So the #Jets fired damn near the whole staff. Why not just wipe the slate clean at this rate?

@Connor_J_Hughes That’s odd because there are several outside the building that would like a complete fresh start too.

There were several within the #Jets building who preferred a complete fresh start at offensive coordinator. Aaron Glenn, originally, wanted Engstrand to remain on staff. After multiple discussions, today, they made the decision to move on. The Jets have been searching for someone to add to their staff who would have called plays -- not Engstrand.

@tonypayments Why stay if you’re Engstrand

This is a pretty wild turn of events, and I’m guessing this came from Engstrands side.
