It was a good time.

But would you rather be today the Jets?

who purged two tentpole guys, and really now they have to go back into the market to replace exactly those two guys at a cheaper rate, but at least they have all those first-round picks?

Or would you want to be the Dolphins, who are in this weird purgatory now?

They only deal Jalen Phillips and keep Jalen Waddell and Bradley Chubb and the rest of them.

Which is the better spot to be in?

Yeah, I think you're right, except the loophole in what you just said is that we assume that the Jets will make good picks, which we already know that they will not.

It's a big asterisk.

Hi and hello, my fellow football American.

Your old pal Dave here.

Let me tell you, when my first daughter was born, everything changed.

And it was doubly so when my son came around.

Then I had a third kid.

Nothing really changed then.

But then I had a fourth kid and it changed all over again.

Anywho, point is, there's this overwhelming feeling that hits you.

It's not just love, it's this deep need to protect them.

Suddenly, every decision you make is about them and their futures.

The last thing a person wants to worry about is how your family's gonna be able to pay the bills if something were to happen.

Would they be financially prepared?
