Ethiopian Airlines 737 Max crashes killing 157
There's some truth here, but the McDonnell Douglas execs who took over Boeing (that's my favorite part of the merger, somehow through financial wizardry, McDonnell Douglas used Boeing's money to be bought and take control of BA!) also were the ones who moved the HQ to Chicago expressly to get the managers away from the engineers in Seattle. Basically they couldn't cut costs the way they wanted too if the engineers could walk in somebodies office and say "This is going to kill people and let me explain why"

I will say, and seriously, no CR, Trump did snooker the fuck outta them on that Air Force One Contract. They were so desperate to get in the Administration's good graces they signed a no overage contract with required delivery. Narrator: "The project ran millions over estimate" Buncha dummies.

Somebody posted above that Harris is bringing in a couple of outside sports exes to do a comprehensive leadership search. My guess is they need somebody to stay on and manage the office until they get their leadership team in place. My guess is Mayhew won't be there too long, if he even makes it another 24 hours. But you need somebody in c-suite to manage HR, sales/marketing, facilities, and the scouts in the interim.

Boeing rents like half the office space in Pentagon City. I drive by it everytime I make a Costco run. I get they are separate businesses between civil and military, but overall, they are printing money.

Washington vs Michigan, CFP Championship -- Jan. 8th ESPN 6:30p CT
Now that people are taking Washington seriously, I think their magic finally wears off. This game is going to be the ultimate test of Mack Brown's old maximum that long drives in the first half are points on the board in the 4th quarter. Michigan has been running into 8 man fronts all season. Either Washington's DL and LB are going to nut up, or they will be ground to dust.

Is David Tepper ever going to realize you can’t money whip the NFL the same way as Wall Street?

Cam Newton is silently weeping somewhere . He gives off that defensive minded sober presence that just gives some owners a hard on.

As a Saints fan, Inpersonally believe he should be given a lifetime coaching position. He may not be the coach Atlanta needs, but he’s definitely the one they deserve. Speaking of which, it sounds like the Saints are going to give Dennis Allen one more year and fire Pete Carmichael, the OC. Which fucking sucks, but let’s be real, Mickey Loomis is the defacto owner of that team.

I’d wager the Commanders will completely clean house, including front office. Then they will begin a ground up rebuild.

When is the last time you wore a watch?
It’s the Yeti question, right? Look, if you are going to do a multi day fishing trip in the gulf and need ice preservation, okay, sure. But 99% of Yetis will never hold ice for anything longer than a bbq or at worst, an overnight brisket smoke. An off brand cooler at a fraction of the price will do just fine. It’s the brand, not the product.

When is the last time you wore a watch?
While I think there is truth to this, I upgraded to a Tutor Pelagos recently on my 50th because I wanted an upscale tool watch that I can take to hell and back and has some special meaning to me personally. It’s like Japanese chef knives: I don’t need them, a Victorinox will cook you a Michelin quality meal just fine. It’s that it represents something special to me about my life journey and passion. Eye/beholder/etc.

Hamilton’s slam, go very hard. I’ve probably gotten at least a half dozen compliments from people wearing watches that cost way more over the years.

CFP Semifinal: Texas vs Washington - 7:45pm on ESPN
After they ripped off a couple of inside runs on trap plays, I wouldn't have subbed out and just gone hurry up and hit that play over and over until I finally needed to spell the RB. It's an underrated skill of a coach putting aside his ego, realizing he's got the defense in a bad personnel set, and just picking at the same wound over and over while his players have the stamina to do it.

Also, as previously mentioned: Michigan plays effective Zone Defense. The way most of the Pac 12 prevented Penix from having a night like he did last night was by keeping everything in front of them, and limit the YAC. DeBeor will not abandon the run game, and every three possessions or so he'll run himself into a 4th and long and have to punt. Then you need to take advantage of your opportunities. If Michigan leans on their ball control offense, limits the damage Washington does in the deep game, and doesn't have another Special Teams meltdown, they should be able to bully the Huskies. Penix and those receivers are going to get theirs, it's all about limiting the damage. OTOH, Penix may just play himself into the 2nd pick in the draft if he repeats what he did last night.
