@_samantha_joy I've learned this lesson. Martyrdom doesn't work and only leads to anxious, unhappy parents, which leads to anxious, unhappy kids. You need to take care of yourself. Something I'm still learning.

When the moral ideal of parenting is martyrdom, you shouldn't be surprised when:
>lots of people opt out of having kids
>the *good* parents who opt in are either miserable from trying to live up to that ideal or miserably guilty for failing
>the kids become anxious, pessimistic, and scared of their future and/or manipulative little tyrants only too happy to demand others martyr themselves to fulfill their desires

My super strong parenting opinion is that while the kids are awake, you come last. No spending all of Saturday golfing. That’s family time. 6 am tee time only, maybe. Wanna go to the gym? Go after the kids go to bed, or wake up at 5. In a few short years, they’ll be out of the house and you’ll have all the time in the world for your own stuff. It’s okay to come last for a while.

@SchwartzSports @IslesFix Eh, im not too upset about the 1st for Schenn, even though I don’t love it, he adds something here. But palats salary sucks next year so to pay him and Schenn isn’t the best management.
English
The easy thing for Darche to do at the deadline was to do nothing. Hold onto your assets, build on the magical Scahefer year in the off-season. Instead, he took a swing, a calculated one in his mind, and with that came risk, and all the criticism that may come with it #Isles

@tonypayments WR. Vega best IOL in the draft, but getting Pregnon at 33 is a solid second choice
English
I would be extremely happy with any of these 4. If you call me crazy for wanting Ioane, throw the tape on and grab some popcorn.
Optimistic Jets@OptimisticJets
In a world where one of the top three receivers is available at #16 AND Vega Ioane is available, who should the #Jets select? Ioane or a top receiver?
English
@JCaporoso Just get Levis. Then there’s zero pressure to draft a QB early. At least there’s some hope with him there and competence with Geno. Reich calling shots with this O-line and RBs an a wr at 16/33 or BT jr and this team could be competitive.
English
Feels like at this point, they are down to either Tyrod, Rush or Levis
Alan Golan אלן גולן #JusticeforMalkiRoth@AlanGolan94
@JCaporoso We missed on a lot of the good options to though… McKee back in Philly, Dalton traded elsewhere. Do we just bring back Tyrod or is there another thread you’d like to pull?

@islanders_takes It sucks. I'm a die-hard who grew up in Pt Jeff, took the ferry to some games, and have been living in Westchester for the past 13 years, and see a couple of games a season. They're just getting good this season with a good coach and some really good defense prospects.

I remain gutted for the loyal fans of Bridgeport. The Sound Tigers had a lot of history. Hamilton is likely to be a great fit for the organization so the future is bright.
But, as always, in these moments I think about all the times I was worried the Islanders would leave and find myself focused more on the sadness of knowing the team is leaving some really loyal fans.

The future is very bright. And while Eiserman's shot is probably the best I've seen out of a prospect in a decade or so, maybe more (it's really that good), I actually don't think it's his best skill.
I think his best skill is his compete and coachability. This kid wants to win. He wants to get better. And he is an absolute dawg. I genuinely think this is what is going to make him end up as a star in the NHL. Even more than his shot.
Pizza Sports Guy@PizzaSportsGuy
I hope so. I think he would work great with Ritchie as his center. High IQ guy that can create and is a strong passer. Would put Eiserman in a position to succeed.

@RichCimini One of the greatest football coaches ever. He should have been an HC.

Former Jets special teams coordinator Mike Westhoff is receiving the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s “Award of Excellence,” which honors significant contributors to the game. He will be feted June 24-25 in Canton. “I couldn’t be happier or more proud,” he said. “It’s pretty damn special.” Many of his former players are expected to attend. #Jets

@islanders_takes Just when bport gets a good coach and prospects they move, this bites

@ZackBlatt I’m incredibly impressed by that and pro free agent signings this year. Something JD was not good at.
He drafted well early last season but late picks were gross. Let’s see if he cleans that up this season.
I wonder how much of the player selection/draft is Glenn?
English
I think Darren Mougey has safely proven that he’s extremely adept at working between the margins to find value — trading Day 3 picks for starting caliber players on cheap contracts … and then trading away players he wasn’t going to keep anyway (like Fields) to recoup those picks.
This year’s NFL Draft is crucial to any evaluation of Mougey obviously but he’s been impressive working within the constraints he has at the head of a rebuilding team.
English
@Playlikeajet1 @Joerb31 I want them to draft a safety in round 2/4 but they at least don’t have to force it. Reese and then BPA down the board!
English
@Joerb31 He’s getting the vet minimum. Don’t think this changes their draft plans much.
English
Absolute alpha. Has to bring Rex to tears seeing the player he’s become

@its_GVR @NFLDraftBites Aren’t you a LI guy? Come back to the Jets! We’re bringing everybody back and need a LG.

@Playlikeajet1 I could see this being terrible, but I could also see this being surprisingly entertaining. I didn't like him in his first go-around, but I'm rooting for him now.

Say what you will, but it’s at least encouraging that Smith appears motivated to right the wrongs of his first stint with #Jets.

@Playlikeajet1 As I’ve been saying, let Frankie Reich cook. Bring in 2 vets and draft a qb somewhere. Let him pick guys and see what happens. Kyler, Tua, Brisset, I really don’t care. Would love to see Nuss or Simpson but depends on where they are drafted and how Frankie feels about them.
English
Tua could be a potential disaster for #Jets for a lot of reasons. We all know how much his play slipped last yr & the health issues.
But……
If they bring him in at the veteran minimum & have him compete for the starting job, it’s really a no-lose situation.
Mike Garafolo@MikeGarafolo
From @gmfb on the #Vikings’ plan at QB and what it means for J.J. McCarthy, no progress of late with the #49ers and Trent Williams and teams doing work on Tua Tagovailoa, including the #Jets.
English
He’s very much probably already better than Volpe and McMahon. Just play him who cares
