In 2021, there were over 3000 fatal and 2.9 million non-fatal accidents in workplaces across the EU. Over a fifth of these, perhaps unsurprisingly, occurred within the construction sector. All of them, in theory, were preventable. The AI platform sends out emergency alerts in the event of an injury or death. The company says its working towards a zero-injury future. Buddywise has just secured 3.5mn in seed funding as it looks to bring its solution to workplaces across Europe....

I hope more than anything we have mayhem today. It’s the one thing truly missing from the NCAA Tournament so far. I know NC State is an 11 seed, but you’re a major conference team. Hard to buy fully into Cinderella talk there. One could argue for no mayhem so next week is a monster round of Sweet 16 games. Sure, I get that. But we need something. There’s gotta be a 1 or a 2 seed that goes down....

OK, go ahead, think about it. Is the number 1? Because friends, that is our latest reality. Really take a second and look. The consistency, the balance, this is the work of a machine. The last time we saw something like this? You know, the team that was destined to go back to back had KG not injured his knee. That team started the year 20-2, and finished it 62-20....

It’s no secret I love this man. This is what the NCAA Tournament is though. It’s about mayhem and onions. You had the upset, you had the double order line, it was perfect. All I did yesterday was see to it whatever game he was on was on the TV with sound. He gets priority in this household. Schedule Bracket We’re staring at a potential monster week next week. 3 Best Games Today...

And you know what? I apologize for nothing. Last night was only the Celts' 28th game of the season against a team under .500. I know I’m not a math guy, but they’ve played 70 games. Well one area I can’t ignore is games exactly like last night. What did you see when you watched that performance? Over the previous two seasons, the Celts ended the year with double digit losses against teams under ....

I’m stuck living in the past right now. I’m walking around in a robe like the Shane Gillis skit after last night. So we’re using Gus Johnson to help get over it all. Fuck it, I’m not getting rid of it all. That’s for a different blog. This is a blog for today. This is a blog for Gus Johnson to get back to us. He would have been awesome during that last minute of Samford/Kansas and only that game....

Have I told you guys that I used to coach basketball…..? We can’t let the boss man be the only voice we listen to here. We need to make each other better, as well. That which gets charted gets done. If you want your players to dive on the floor? Keep track and reward the girl that puts her nose on a loose basketball the fastest. …..and I think both strategies that I’ve taken from the court to the company are working?...

And spoiler alert, the United States isn’t at the top. It sits at No. 23, the United Arab Emirates is ranked at 22 and Slovenia at 21. I’ve long been a sucker for lists on the internet. There’s something about a list that always gets the people going. First things first, how dare the USA Today report on a happiness list that leaves out the USA. I expect that from the Brit’s over at the Daily Mail....

(Cued up to the 2:00 mark.) First, speaking personally, I’m no true crime junkie by any means. But that I was mostly at my desk researching Patriots draft prospects or whatever. But assure them they’re doing a bang-up job and tell them to keep up the great work. Second involves this particular case. Like I said, Massholes can’t shut up about it. Everyone has an opinion. And it is of grave importance....
