The problem with extreme wealth is people can’t grasp the scale. Some might see this and think “well a first class ticket is a lot of money,” but $5,000 as a proportion of one billion (.0005%) scaled to the same proportion of the median American’s net worth ($193K) is $0.96.
LeBron's wife Savannah James says she doesn’t feel the need to pay for her longtime friend and business partner, April McDaniel, to fly first class when they travel together, so Savannah flies first class while April flies on a budget. ✈️👀

“But just because they’re worth more than a bill doesn’t mean they have it laying around,” you say. “We must look at LIQUID assets and income.”
Okay 👍 Here’s that math with a more expensive international first class flight.

That's how it's supposed to work. Nobody pays to see the coaches.
"I'm gonna say this, I probably shouldn't: nine of my players make more than my assistants. And the other three make more than all my staff, and we are not one of the highest payers..."

Happening now in Seoul: Estonian slackliner Jaan Roose is crossing a 160-metre line strung 120 metres above Sejong-daero, between the Koreana hotel and the Dong-A Media Center, in sight of Gwanghwamun and Gyeongbokgung Palace.

From the punt block call w/ #Bengals leading and the ball on the Pittsburgh 41......
To Zac's 4th and 2 punt at their own 49 with 7:39 left......
To Zac having to burn a timeout on the final drive........
I'm not sure we are fully appreciating how poor the coaching was Sunday.

It's weird that if you take out the punter and miss the ball by an inch it's a 15 yard personal foul, but if you take out the punter and get a fingertip on the ball there's no foul. It's either dangerous or it isn't.
Darrin Simmons acknowledges that he indeed had a block set up on the Steeler punt that resulted in a Ced Johnson personal foul on 4th-and-6 that resulted in Pittsburgh extended drive and a TD. "Yeah, we were rushing him. We're coming after him. We're trying to block the punt... I don't know when a good moment is. When is a good moment to rush the punter? We're ahead. We're behind. I mean, when is the the best opportunity? I think it was the first punt of the game, first time they punted. It's something that we felt, I felt very confident in that we could get a lot of pressure on them, and we did. Ced just got too close to him. I think it's a situation for Ced, where the only way that you can get situations like that is to be live in the game. We can rep all this stuff over one practice, but he's going to block it each time in practice when that happens. But I think it's got to be a feel for him that he's got to make a decision, and it's a millisecond decision. 'If I can get there, I got to I got to take the chance and go get it, and I got to block it. I got to get a hand on it. But if I can't, then I got to pull off.' That's a very very tough call for somebody to make in a millisecond. But in terms of the situation of when, I don't know when the right and when the wrong situation is. I mean, it was the first opportunity they'd had in the game to come after it, and I felt confident that we could pressure him and get it. And he's extremely close. His arm's right there. It wasn't close enough."

I am losing my mind at people defending this hit and blaming the QB. Look at the position the defender winds up in. Helmet on the ground, ass and legs in the air, because he launched himself downward towards the QBs head.

Yes, the NFLPA should fight this, but so should the beer companies that sponsor the NFL.
NFL fined 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk $14,926 for engaging in an offensive demonstration Sunday vs. Miami. “Your imitation of chugging a beer constituted an offensive demonstration and could reasonably be construed as being in poor taste,” the NFL wrote in its fine letter. Juszczyk, nicknamed “Juice”, already has appealed the fine.

1. Don’t get a pet if your job requires you to be on a plane all the time.
2. This isn’t kibble in a bowl. It’s buying live crickets to feed to a lizard.
3. If you really need help with a personal errand, ask a peer not a subordinate.
4. If must ask a subordinate, pay them.
There’s something deeply broken in the culture of Democratic Party staffing that people would think it is unreasonable to be asked to feed your boss’s pet while she does a job that involves commuting back and forth to Alaska.
