118-46 in College with a National Championship. HE IS THE GUY. Specifically, he is the FOOTBALL guy! And to be honest, it’s a perfect situation for Harbaugh. Here are the other openings for comparison. The biggest thing they are missing, obviously, is a franchise QB.But, here is the thing. Look how many actually complete a second contract with the team that drafted them. That’s just to say that it is far from a sure thing that you get a franchise QB....

That’s nearly double the viewership for the final round of this year’s Masters final round. Again, I get it. This is Football Season. But talking about golf is what I do. That’s part of the deal. Which brings us to an unexpectedly compelling weekend of mid-January golf. Two tournaments, decided by statistical anomalies on the putting greens, across the world from one another. Let’s dive in. Rory McIlroy had been near the lead the entire week....

Tesla heavily relies on components from China to produce itsEVs. Many of these get shipped through the Suez Canal, the fastest route between Asia and Europe. The Berlin-Brandenburg Gigafactory is where Tesla assembles electric vehicles it sells in Europe. The company did not specify which components affecting the factorys operations have been delayed. It’s free, every week, in your inbox. This supply chain disruption is the latest blow for Teslas European operations....

A couple of months ago, Trent moved one block away from my apartment in the West Village. I need you close to me so we can golf together!!! Frankie demanded, as pieces of prosciutto sprayed from his fat lips. But eventually Trent decided he had enough. He decided he wanted to be in the mix and move as close to me as possible. A couple months have gone by and Ive seen Trent here and there....

Welcome back to another episode of Dumping Them Out. I can’t believe I’m still doing this. Just an overall terrible day of football yesterday. Both games stunk out loud. As a man from Ohio, I consider the Browns my second team. I cheer for the them over everyone but the Colts. I really thought they had a shot this year. Anything less means you’re not a true fan. You have to question Nicky Smokes dedication to the Miami Dolphins....

That shit was an absolute ass kicking after about the first 7 minutes. The question then became, OK, how do they respond? This is a team that has not lost consecutive games 11/6-8, which is pretty fucking impressive. As we’ve learned, the juice isn’t really worth the squeeze. Let him develop the Rockets and fight like hell for the Play In. That’s all fine and good, but we’re fine over here....

Off the top of my head, the only thing that comes even remotely close is Ernie Johnson. Every single person on the planet loves Ernie Johnson. He might be the only human with a universal approval rating. Find me an Ernie Johnson hater, you could’t. When I think of something else that would fit this description, NBA All Star jerseys is another. Is that very random? Yes, but hear me out....

So they wererebuildingin order to make way forfuture success, you see. That sort of visual metaphor is what separates me from the regular journos. That’s the Old Balls Difference.] Let me begin by objecting to my own word choice in the headline. “Demands” are something you make when you’re holding hostages after a bank robbery gone terribly wrong. And I’d get less traction if I’d said, “Polite Requests.” Whereas “demand” is a good, solid buzzword....

I haven’t retired from the Patriots Optimism business. But when I comes to expressing hope, I do feel like reducing my hours. Maybe working 29 hour weeks where I don’t qualify for bennies and I have more free time. The reason being that my default setting of hopeful optimism just defaulted way too much. Given the unenviable task of bringing societal order out of the chaos and rebuilding our once thriving civilization....

Mike Trout No-brainer here. MLB needs to put Mike Trout front and center and let the world FINALLY know what Trout is about. We know he likes the Eagles and not requesting trades from the Angels. Mic up Mike and let us see who he is at home. Let us see him with his family. Give us that and actually showcase Mike Trout while we still have him. He’s arguably the best player of our generation and time is running out....

SwissstartupSirius Aviation has unveiled designs for the worlds first hydrogen-electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft. That is four times as far as competitors like GermaneVTOLstartup Lilium are targeting using batteries. It will achieve these feats thanks to liquid hydrogen propulsion, which some consider theholy grailof fuels. They claim to have already started the certification process with theFederal Aviation Administration (FAA). It’s free, every week, in your inbox. The first demonstration flights for both VTOLs are scheduled for next year....

My stance is pretty simple. What I care about is consistency and telling the truth. No Celtic fan called that a “schedule loss” for MIN. But it’s also true that the Celtics were clearly gassed last night. That’s not even factoring in that the other side hadn’t played since losing Monday night at home. The same way it would help the Celts if the roles were reversed. How do we know that?...

As a kid, perhaps unsurprisingly, I was the only person I knew interested in birdwatching. But the times they are a changin. Austrian optical specialist Swarovski Optik has just unveiled the worlds first pair of smart binoculars. Powered byAI, the binos can identify 9,000 species of birds and other wildlife for you. Heres how they work. Within about five seconds, the name of the animal pops up on the screen....
