Since today has been a shitshow for personal stuff, I wanted to do some video recs, some fun, some thoughtful listening/watching. FUN VIDEOS: - I’m sure most people listened to The Magnus Archives as a podcast, but I enjoy listening to it on YouTube, so if you want, their channel has playlists by season.  I’m on season 2 and still enjoying it a lot and I think I’m starting to enjoy Jon/Martin, but it’s still early days yet and I’m mostly enjoying it for the surprisingly chill horror stuff.  I mean, it’s very good, but it doesn’t unsettle me, so it’s perfect for what I want.  (Mostly I just want to yell at people about stuff, but I’m not nearly far along enough for that.  orz) - Puppet History came back and, ahhhhh, it goes by so quickly, I feel like every Friday it’s gone before I know it, because it’s just so delightful.  I have been enjoying the guests as well--Kate Peterman is always a banger of a guest, and  Ify Nwadiwe was just pure delight to watch.  The stories are always interesting and I just have a happy, bubbly time watching.  WATCH IT IF YOU LIKE LEARNING AND JUST HAVING A SILLY TIME AND A FEW LAUGHS. - I feel like Ted Lasso’s second season took a bit of time to get underway and really get the plot rolling, the first four episodes were just kind of there, but once it hit its stride, it’s been just as good as the first season.  I’m frustrated at what they’re doing with Nate, but willing to see how they land the storyline, and meanwhile the scenes between Ted and Dr. Sharon were absolutely stellar, those two just acted the shit out of their scenes in the best way.  p.s. Sam Obisanya deserves the entiiiiiiire world. THOUGHTFUL VIDEOS: - So, I recently stumbled over F.D Signifier’s videos, because the title Bo Burnham's Inside and "White Liberal Performative Art" caught my attention and I was intrigued--what I got was an incredibly thoughtful, compassionate, patient exploration of the topics of how white people relate to trying to be better on racism and what that means for Black people.  Like, this man didn’t have to go so hard on the empathy and kindness, but he really did while still sticking to the topic at hand and it really gave me a lot to think about, especially on some complicated topics.  I also really liked Why "Allies" Need to Learn to Knock, because it’s once again coming from a place of empathy for the person who was trying to be an ally, but also explaining why just jumping in isn’t always someone’s place and how to approach it next time.  He’s just one dude talking about his views on stuff, but I find him very engaging and really good at giving me stuff to think about. - I also appreciate listening to Contrapoints’ videos because I find she often approaches her topics with empathy, as well as she clearly puts a lot of thought and time into her videos.  Yes, the production quality is lovely, but I enjoy listening to her arguments on things, I think she explains her positions well, and Envy was another one I enjoyed a lot. - I enjoy Kat Blaque’s videos, another person who has a shocking amount of empathy that I don’t know where she gets it from, but bless her for it.   They Wanted To Protect Her, Until They Found Out.. really kind of knocked me for a loop, because the main topic of the video is about how people treated a young woman dating an older man one way when they thought she was cis, then another way when they found out she was trans, and that it wasn’t necessarily ill-intentioned, but still spoke of something deeper about how society sees women and what it values about them and what it feels the need to protect about them.  I especially appreciate this video because it’s not a direction I would have personally thought of and it’s a good look at the topic.

The NFL’s best remaining free agents, by position

Photo by Jacob Kupferman/Getty Images

The new league year is here, but not every big name has been signed yet.

The official start to the new NFL league year is here, with a new collective bargaining agreement and all. It also comes at a time when the world is upended by the coronavirus pandemic, but other than changes to travel and locking down team facilities, NFL free agency is continuing unabated.

With the legal tampering period beginning on March 16, many deals were already agreed upon before free agency actually began. Some became official right at 4 p.m. ET when the new league year kicked off, while others have yet to be finalized until teams can conduct physicals. We’ve also seen a high number of franchise tags this offseason, with players like Dak Prescott and Chris Jones sticking with their teams.

Even after all that, there are a slew of free agents looking for a landing spot in 2020. Below, we’ll point you to the best available players at each position, with updates throughout free agency. Note that not every signing is included, namely for players at the bottom of the roster.

Quarterback

Signed: Kyle Allen, Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Teddy Bridgewater, Chase Daniel, Blaine Gabbert, Chad Henne, Taysom Hill, Brian Hoyer, Case Keenum, Marcus Mariota, AJ McCarron, Colt McCoy, Sean Mannion, Nick Mullens, Nathan Peterman, Dak Prescott, Philip Rivers, Nate Sudfeld, Ryan Tannehill, P.J. Walker, Jameis Winston

Best available: Blake Bortles, Joe Flacco, Josh McCown, Matt Moore, Cam Newton, Kyle Sloter

A strong group of free agent quarterbacks has been quickly depleted, with Dak Prescott getting the franchise tag and Tom Brady, Teddy Bridgewater, and Marcus Mariota landing with new teams. Cam Newton’s reported release made him a late addition to the list and an intriguing option for teams that. missed out on the first wave of QB signings.

Running Back

Signed: Ameer Abdullah, Peyton Barber, Matt Breida, Kenyan Drake, Austin Ekeler, Melvin Gordon, Todd Gurley, Derrick Henry, Jordan Howard, Kareem Hunt, Dion Lewis, J.D. McKissic, DeAndre Washington, Jeff Wilson

Best available: Devonta Freeman, Frank Gore, Carlos Hyde, LeSean McCoy, Lamar Miller, Ty Montgomery, C.J. Prosise, Wendell Smallwood, Chris Thompson, Jonathan Williams

The value of the running back position continues to swing wildly, but that didn’t stop the Titans from putting the franchise tag on Derrick Henry. Other names like Austin Ekeler and Jordan Howard were quickly locked down, too.

Wide Receiver

Signed: Geronimo Allison, Nelson Agholor, Danny Amendola, Robby Anderson, Travis Benjamin, Kendrick Bourne, DeAndre Carter, Randall Cobb, Keelan Cole, Amari Cooper, Phillip Dorsett, Keelan Doss, Larry Fitzgerald, Devin Funchess, A.J. Green, David Moore, Zach Pascal, Breshad Perriman, Demarcus Robinson, Emmanuel Sanders, Tajae Sharpe, Laquon Treadwell

Best available: Taylor Gabriel, Rashard Higgins, Johnny Holton

We already saw two blockbuster wide receiver trades involving DeAndre Hopkins and Stefon Diggs. The Cowboys didn’t let Amari Cooper hit the open market, as they signed him to a lucrative long-term deal. The Bengals tagged A.J. Green, but that still left some compelling names on the market.

Tight End

Signed: Ross Dwelley, Eric Ebron, Tyler Eifert, Darren Fells, Jimmy Graham, Demetrius Harris, Hunter Henry, Jacob Hollister, Austin Hooper, Blake Jarwin, Marcedes Lewis, Greg Olsen, Quinton Spain, Levine Toilolo, Jason Witten

Best available: Charles Clay, Jordan Reed, Luke Stocker, Geoff Swaim, Delanie Walker

A weak draft class at tight end put a premium on the free agents who became available. Hunter Henry got the franchise tag, while Austin Hooper was quickly snatched up. Veterans Greg Olsen, Jimmy Graham and Jason Witten had no troubles landing with teams, either.

Offensive Line

Signed: Daniel Brunskill, Bryan Bulaga, Anthony Castonzo, Jack Conklin, Rashaad Coward, George Fant, Cam Fleming, Ereck Flowers, Marcus Gilbert Graham Glasgow, Joe Haeg, D.J. Humphries, Joey Hunt, Roderick Johnson, Ted Karras, Alex Lewis, Justin McCray, Connor McGovern, John Miller, Justin Murray, Cedric Ogbuehi, Andrus Peat, Ty Sambrailo, Brandon Scherff, Brandon Shell, Matt Skura, Xavier Su’a-Filo, Joe Thuney, Ricky Wagner, Andrew Whitworth, Elijah Wilkinson, Daryl Williams, Stefen Wisniewski, Andrew Wylie

Best available: Demar Dotson, Cordy Glenn, James Hurst, Ronald Leary, Jason Peters

The Colts held on to left tackle Anthony Castonzo with an extension. Guards Joe Thuney and Brandon Scherff would have been next to new deals, but both received the franchise tag fairly quickly. Still, there’s a lot of beef out there!

Edge

Signed: Mario Addison, Arik Armstead, Shaquil Barrett, Vic Beasley, Ronald Blair, Bud Dupree, Dante Fowler Jr., Rodney Gunter, Bruce Irvin, Quinton Jefferson, Matt Judon, Roy Robertson-Harris, Branden Jackson, Carl Nassib, Yannick Ngakoue, Robert Quinn, Stephen Weatherly, Leonard Williams, Derek Wolfe

Best available: Jadeveon Clowney, Markus Golden, Everson Griffen, Clay Matthews, Cameron Wake

Getting to the quarterback is becoming more and more important as crazy-athletic passers continue to enter the league. The 49ers gave Arik Armstead a huge extension, while the Jaguars were quick to tag Yannick Ngakoue.

Defensive Tackle

Signed: Beau Allen, Andrew Billings, Michael Brockers, Adam Butler, Maliek Collins, Tyeler Davison, Sheldon Day, Brandon Dunn, Javon Hargrave, Shelby Harris, Chris Jones, Linval Joseph, Star Lotulelei, Gerald McCoy, Michael Pierce, Dontari Poe, Mike Purcell, D.J. Reader, Jarran Reed, A’Shawn Robinson, Danny Shelton, Ndamukong Suh, Josh Tupou, Antwaun Woods

Best available: Damon Harrison, Margus Hunt, Brandon Mebane

Chris Jones got the franchise tag, which is unsurprising because of how important he was to the Chiefs’ Super Bowl win. After him, D.J. Reader got a huge contract with the Bengals, and the market is beginning to be pretty depleted.

Linebacker

Signed: Vince Biegel, Jon Bostic, De’Vondre Campbell, Jamie Collins, Brandon Copeland, Thomas Davis, Kyler Fackrell, Leonard Floyd, B.J. Goodson, Jordan Jenkins, Devon Kennard, Christian Kirksey, Nick Kwiatkoski, Sean Lee, Cory Littleton, Blake Martinez, David Mayo, Kevin Minter, Nicholas Morrow, Denzel Perryman, Kevin Pierre-Louis, Reggie Ragland, Elandon Roberts, Joe Schobert, Danny Trevathan, Kyle Van Noy, Nick Vigil, Tahir Whitehead, Kyle Wilber, Eric Wilson

Best available: Mark Barron, Anthony Chickillo, Kareem Martin, Alec Ogletree

There are a lot of tackling machines available this year, even after guys like Jamie Collins, Cory Littleton, Thomas Davis, and Joe Schobert got big deals elsewhere.

Cornerback

Signed: Mackensie Alexander, James Bradberry, Bashaud Breeland, Anthony Brown, Ronald Darby, Michael Davis, Pierre Desir, Grant Haley, Vernon Hargreaves, Chris Harris Jr., Byron Jones, Nevin Lawson, Jalen Mills, Emmanuel Moseley, Brian Poole, Xavier Rhodes, Nickell Robey-Coleman, Bradley Roby, Jimmy Smith, Desmond Trufant, Levi Wallace, Trae Waynes

Best available: Prince Amukamara, Eli Apple, Darqueze Dennard, Johnathan Joseph, Logan Ryan

It’s unbelievable that someone as good as Byron Jones hit the open market, and he wasn’t there for long, signing a megadeal with the Dolphins. There are still quite a few corners worth kicking the tires on, however.

Safety

Signed: Vonn Bell, Tre Boston, Chuck Clark, Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, Anthony Harris, Jeff Heath, Eddie Jackson, Malcolm Jenkins, Karl Joseph, Devin McCourty, Jordan Poyer, Damarious Randall, Andrew Sendejo, Justin Simmons, Jimmie Ward

Best available: Morgan Burnett, Blake Countess, A.J. Howard, Tony Jefferson, Colin Jones, Reshad Jones, Eric Reid

Several big names at safety, like Devin McCourty, Anthony Harris, and Jimmie Ward, were scheduled to be free agents. Unfortunately for teams in need of safety help, all three are staying put, leaving the next tier of safeties for the rest of the league.

AskMen Style Defined: Cool Style for the Warm Weather

Here at AskMen, we strive to bring you new and interesting content to help answer any questions you may have from sex and dating to health and fitness and food and booze. And this latest installment of our new weekly series AskMen Style Defined is all about taking the tropics — or at least tropical style — with you wherever you go.

RELATED: AskMen Style Defined Last Week: Tech Fabrics Make for a More Comfortable Spring

Born and raised in Brooklyn, Eric Wertz now resides in upstate New York, about an hour north of the city he once called home. As an electrician, avid traveler, and men’s lifestyle blogger, there is no shortage of inspiration for his site Blue Collar Prep. Focusing on fashion, food, and family, Wertz has a distinct style and bold visual presence on his blog as well as his Instagram page by the same name.

“Behind the fashionable IG posts, I’m a true family man who loves exploring and enduring any new adventure with my family,” Wertz says of his life we see in his photoshoots. “We are all avid skiers and love the Caribbean. From local road trips to aspirations of seeing as much of this world as we can together, any new experience I have I honestly always want it to me with my wife and son.”

To see Wertz’s stylish feed is to see someone who has a clear vision about who he is: “I’m a blue collar guy who happens to love fashion. It’s this passion that triggered my wife [Sarina] and I to start our own brand, BLUE #NotTheColorBlue.”

He and Sarina, a photographer in her own right started the brand with a simple, staple accessory of his — the beanie. “We started out with the one accessory I use in a lot of my looks and are currently working on some shirt designs,” he explains. “With such a full schedule it’s hard to devote 100 percent to anything right now, but I honestly love the balance of my life — from being a homeowner, a dad, a devoted hubby, a lifestyle blogger, a brand owner, I’m definitely never bored and love the versatility of everything we have going on right now.”

His wife isn’t just his partner in life and business, she, along with his late father, serve as constant inspiration every day. “My wife has just an effortlessly cool style and my father was able to pull off just about anything in terms of outfit selections,” he tells us. “I feel like a lot of the pieces I choose today, I could easily have seen him rocking back in the day!”

But like many of the creatives we speak with for our weekly series, Wertz doesn’t just draw inspiration from a single source. “My inspiration also comes from just about anywhere … from the many stylish guys on the ‘gram, to pieces my wife rocks, to someone on the street, to even the casually cool pieces my son [Nate] wears. I get my inspo from everything around me!”

“For this look featured I was actually on my way to a derby party for J. Peterman and chose these specific pieces from them to rock at the event,” he says about sophisticatedly styled spring ensemble. “I love this outfit and can’t wait to take that blue cargo jacket and re-work it into an entirely different look.”

It’s fitting that Wertz is a fan of travel to island destinations such as the Caribbean, since this outfit — from the Panama hat to the cropped summer-weight trousers — evokes feelings of tropical life even in an urban setting of New York City.

He continues on explaining that he likes blending different styles. “I’m definitely not just married to one. I like versatile pieces that can be used in any look, whether it’s street style, grunge, or more dapper vibes.” Judging from the variety of outfits in his feed, we can guess he will be bringing a lot more stylish ideas as the weather continues to warm up.

Items to shop inspired by Wertz’s look:

Budget:

Jack & Jones Premium Field Jacket, $116 at Asos.com Topman Stripe T-Shirt, $20 at Topman.com Alex Mill Standard Pleated Chino, $115 at AlexMill.com Ultrafino Barrington Panama Hat, from $47.99 at Amazon.com Vans OG Classic LX Brushed-Nubuck Slip-On Sneakers, $60 at MrPorter.com
