Hitler named his Western Front headquarters the “Wolfsschlucht” (Wolf’s Gorge) and his Eastern Front headquarters the “Wolfschanze” (Wolf’s Lair), and Hitler picked the site for his new planned community precisely because it could use the name of the nearby castle. Technically, his “nickname” wasn’t wolf, but he for…

Another concept sketch by Hitler:

This is what I understand to be Hitler’s original concept sketch that he gave to Ferdinand Porsche:

Somebody has already developed the prototype!

It’s cheap technology. It’s already in everybody’s phones. The athlete is no longer pressured to stay in or blamed for being out. The doctor is no longer pressured to take the athlete out or blamed for letting him stay in. The coach, or the fans, or anybody else, can no longer apply any pressure. It’s real simple.…

Put g-force impact sensors into helmets. Make a little red light go off on the helmet whenever the accelerometer exceeds a certain value so that everyone can see someone has had an incident. Have an app on the track-side doc’s phone go off with an alert whenever a driver has an incident. Anybody with a red light on…

The fundamental problem is the concentration of power and money in the Ferrari/Mercedes Benz dual monarchy. If there were more teams on the grid, there would be more opportunities for young drivers, but the monarchs don’t see a problem with the current system. If anything, they see new teams as wildcards that can only…

Coach Durkin just needs an Ohio State University style sham 2 week investigation so all this can be swept under the rug and we can just pretend crimes against low-priority female members of the school community never happened and we can all get on with the high-priority business of football.

Saying Bottas “threw away the podium” doesn’t give him enough credit. He probably could have just let Vettel pass, slotted back into 3rd, and backed his way into a podium, but instead he stayed aggressive to the very end and fought for 2nd place on tires that had obviously fallen WAY off the cliff ages earlier (he was…

In any event, Perez’s hand was basically forced with the pending supplier litigation that would have stopped operations. Perez had to do it to keep the doors open.

My understanding is that Mercedes had gotten tired of Mallya’s refusal to sell. William Storey (Rich Energy) has had a £30million offer on the table for a long time but Mallya was saying it wasn’t enough. That’s probably right, but there weren’t any other viable offers at the time. Now, with Lawrence Stroll voicing…

Welcome Elizabeth!

One of the highlights in my concert going experiences has to be a Cat Power concert I went to in the early 2000's in a little hole in the wall club on the backside of the Omni District in Miami. I convinced a buddy who had never heard of her that it was a concert that cute girls would guaranteed show up to. Got to the…

When was the last time the NFL had a weekend that didn’t have at least one horrifying injury? 

Ms. Kyra Keli. Here are some better pics:

Just make this happen.

Perhaps it would have been better to get some time as an assistant in the EPL so that he could get familiar with teams, managers, and players? He might have seen that as a step down from his previous positions as a manager, but in retrospect it may have given him a better foundation to lead an EPL team.

Marino’s arm was the only good thing going for the Dolphins when Johnson was coach. Every draft and every summer, Johnson would make it all about how the Dolphins would become his team with a running game and a strong defense like he had in Dallas. By the end of every season, he was throwing Marino under the bus…

Except Marino wasn’t “washed up” like Rooney is now. Johnson started each year trying to marginalize Marino, saying he thought Shula relied on him too much, that Marino wasn’t what he once was, and Johnson was going to “bring in a running game.” By the end of each year, Johnson was having Marino throw 50+ times a game…
