Putting the airlines in charge of the ATC system would be like putting Pfizer and other drug companies in charge of the Food and Drug Administration.
You cannot have profit margins and stockholders' interests paramount in a safety-first endeavor.
The government has done a terrible job managing new equipment, staffing levels, etc., but if they were also trying to make a lot of money, it would be even worse.

45,
We agree. Underrated movie, song and actor. Timothy Dalton was a welcome relief after a decade of Roger Moore's portrayal so unlike Fleming's character.
1. Live and Let Die - of course. The song is just as big as the movie
2. Goldfinger
3. For Your Eyes Only
4. Nobody Does it better
5. Skyfall
6. You Only Live Twice
7. Goldeneye
8. Tomorrow Never Dies
9. The Living Daylights
10. A View to a Kill

Aaron Rodgers is a better QB comparison for Brees than Eli. Rodgers had to watch Favre for three years so he lost some career stats to Brees, but 4 first team All Pros for Rodgers vs. one for Brees is huge.
Rodgers > Brees > Eli
Eli's comps are Russell Wilson and Big Ben.
Here's how you know:
When they are eligible for the Hall, how long will the discussion be when their names are brought up. Rodgers and Brees - 2 seconds. Eli? pack a lunch. It's gonna be a while.

I've got Manning around 4th and Mahomes around 7th in the Super Bowl era. If Mahomes' career ended today, Manning would have the argument for better career. In five years I expect Mahomes to be top 3.
But if the question is, "Who do you want starting at QB for your dream team"? It's Mahomes all day. He has no weaknesses and is the closest thing to a "natural" at the position since John Elway. Rodgers too. They make it look easier than the rest.

Bush only won Ohio by 2.1 percent. If Kerry wins Ohio he's president. It was closer than it looked.
Hillary was damaged goods in 2004 and had no chance. She needed to get some Senate years under her belt and get farther from the Monica mess. It was her time in 2008 to win and was taken out by a community organizer.
She has to be the most bitter women alive after the monumental losses she's taken and being publicly humiliated by her husband for 40 years.

re: Is Saban now 5:1 to be LSU HC next season?
Posted by ATCTx on 11/4/25 at 10:39 am to Lucky_Stryke
While it would be the story of the year and shock to the college football world, the reality is IF Coach Saban came back to LSU for 4-5 years he would be very lucky to win one championship and probably would not.
The advantages he had at Alabama are no longer possible in the new reality.
I'd love to see it, but best case scenario would be he energizes the program, makes the playoffs in his second year and trains his hand-picked successor to build on his foundation.
But it would be fun to watch and a shot in the arm the program and university needs.

Since 1958:

3. McClendon
4. Arnsparger

6. Orgeron
7. Kelly
8. Dinardo

10. Archer
11. Hallman
Coulda, woulda, shoulda been - Bo Rein
May switch Dinardo and Kelly....Dinardo tried. I might move Miles up ahead of Arnsparger too just because of the length of service and title.

I think Buckner was indebted to the mob. It's the only explanation for that play. Just simply no way a major league ever makes such a kindergarten blunder like that.
It was an awkward play going to his left as a left-hander, and I've always thought Mookie would have beaten him to the bag anyway since the pitcher wasn't covering. It would have been runners on 1st and 3rd and tied had he blocked the ball. He got 100% of the blame but didn't deserve THAT much.
After over a month of sick evil douchebags getting famously fired for mocking and celebrating a public murder, how arrogant and stupid do you have to be for doing anything even remotely like this?
While I think this is highly unlikely, Coach Saban is in his 70s and we don't know what goes through his mind and his wife's. Deep down, don't all humans want to have closure or maybe address some regrets before they enter their twilight years?
What if Terry just blurts out over dinner, "I really liked Baton Rouge. We have unfinished business there".
I learned never to say never back in the 80s when Wayne Gretzky left Canada for Los Angeles.
Again, it's almost certainly not happening, but I absolutely think it's crossing their minds even if just to quickly dismiss it.

Maybe Whit is the secret liaison. He should be able to find out Kiffin's true seriousness about the LSU job in a short conversation.
I mentioned in another thread that it seems like LSU's future was wrapped up in Bryce Underwood. When he unexpectedly got "bought" by Michigan right before early signing day, I'm sure there was a sense of loss in the program that was invisible but real. The program has seemed lost ever since.
Just an opinion.

re: NGL - next year is looking pretty studly from a players perspective...

I don't see that at all. Defense loses just about everybody, and we will have an inexperienced QB. We will lose some talent to the portal too. Other than RB, I don't see any position improved next season as the roster currently stands, which of course will change.
One factor in the new coach interview process will be "Who are you able to bring from your team"?

re: Predict what day you think our new head coach will be announced
Posted by ATCTx on 10/27/25 at 11:43 am to LSUguy2023
The timing is so messed up. Season ends first of December. Early signing day begins and four weeks later, the portal opens.
If you are a highly sought coach (like Cig, Kiffin, Day, Lanning, etc.) then you are in playoff mode all of December.
What coach is going to accept another job in that situation? Yes, I know some would, but it's just a big clusterfkkk. Ideally, you want your coach the day the season ends so they can contact recruits and start on the portal. A playoff coach cannot do that.
If LSU doesn't have a coach by signing day, then they are waiting on a playoff coach and the rumors will be wild as they assure recruits to stay committed because "???" is coming in January.

Today on Barstool, Hebert asked Gruden if he'd ever been contacted for the LSU going back to when Miles was coach. Gruden said "No, not to my knowledge."
re: Why isn’t Woodward getting more hate?

Scott made arguably the best hire of the cycle, it just didn't work out here. But Brian Kelly had a better resume than all of those guys listed and people were shocked that he was able to get the ND head coach to leave for another college program (something that had literally never been done before).
Very reasonable take and well said.

Posted by ATCTx on 10/27/25 at 11:11 am to saturncube21
Woodward isn't getting more hate for at least three reasons:
1. The fanbase hates Kelly way more than Woodward.
2. Mulkey and Johnson bought him credibility.
3. If you look objectively (and I know that's not easy right now), the Kelly hire was popular that first year. Kelly stabilized the program, and that's about all he accomplished.
I DO think the fanbase is going to turn some negativity on Woodward once the dust settles this week, and a good percentage will be against him unilaterally hiring the next coach. It should be a committee, and Mulkey and/or Johnson should be on it.

Did the mojo change with Underwood
Posted by ATCTx on 10/26/25 at 9:46 pm
Last November, LSU was feeling good with the #1 class including the highest rated QB in years, and then Michigan unexpectedly swiped him away after LSU had put in years of work and were clearly planning to build the next three years around him.
Besides the then-big win at Clemson, it seems like LSU has been behind the 8 ball ever since losing Underwood.
Yes? No?
