John McKay coached the Bucs during a 26 game losing streak. Here are some of his best moments:

A couple of years ago, I was frequently under fire from a few of the subjects I was writing on/off about. There was one instance, specifically, where the guy was swearing that the interactions I was certain were with him were actually with someone else. After publicly stating that he wasn’t going to seek litigation,…

Simple kindnesses like the ones you and others are recounting about Tommy here get paid forward in ways we might never even realize. During a dark time for me, a writer whose work means the world to me and who I didn’t even know particularly well told me “you’re doing fine and will continue doing fine.”

Such a small…

I’m heartbroken, too.

This is not true. Yes, half of the half million plus hispanic population is Cuban. The second largest groups, however, are the Colombian and Central American populations, where soccer is king. There is a very significant Peruvian and Argentinian and Venezuelan populations as well. Then, there is the very robust…

“don’t share his beliefs”

The stupidity in these threads is enough to make me want to bang my head on my desk. Holy shit.

News helos operate 1000-2000 ft - at least - above any active airborne firefighting operation, usually 3-5k above the surface, outside the TFR (temporary flight restricted airspace) and are (should be) in constant contact with the Air Attack, the airborne “air tactical group supervisor” (the guy in charge of airborne…

You’re an idiot, Jimmy Joe Meeker. Aside from the many responses here that point out how news choppers are flying higher and out of the way of emergency vehicles, the pilots of news choppers are licensed. They have had a certain amount of training, and are likely to be trustworthy in these situations. They are also…

There’s something called TFR (Temporary Flight Restrictions) over the area. News helicopters stay outside of the TFR, and are in communication with ATC and other aircraft to make sure they don’t bump into anyone. Drones, here, aren’t obeying the TFR. If the TFR is violated, the airspace isn’t safe for helicopters…

Bit Easier to zoom in with a camera than it is with a water bucket.

The news helicopters aren’t hovering over where the fire helicopters need to go to drop water on the fire, either.

Princess Leia bikini is the focus of many male and female fantasies over the years. You can’t put a woman in an outfit like that on screen, as a “sex slave,” and get huffy when people parody it.

Aside from the fact that it would be stupid to take the risk, the drones they are dealing with are not of the little Toys R Us variety:

I think this falls under Fair Use because it’s parody.

My mom would say, “Let’s Go!” just once if we were going somewhere fun then just leave us if we didn’t listen. She would go a few blocks to Dairy Queen to get a blizzard then come back and tell us the trip’s been canceled.

My fellow Bama homers keep telling me he’s here for good. I think they’re delusional. My take on Saban has always been “he whipped us back into shape, appreciate the seasons and championships we get with him because he is DEFINITELY bailing the second someone throws more money at him than we are.”

You post is so riddled with factual and conceptual errors that it deserves some kind of award for overall wrongness.

I’d put a caveat on that—talk therapy with no defined goal and end date is a scam. A good therapist will help you define goals, develop a timeline for meeting them, and frankly will push you out of the nest if things linger to the point where it’s clear they’re not helping.

This. My current job is at a very family-culture type place, and while there ARE nice things about that, there’s also definitely a dark side of being “like family.” I’m coming to kind of hate it. Can’t we all just be collegial coworkers, be professional, and get stuff done like adults?
