That’s just hilarious

This Choad owns the team. This was his expression late in the game. 

You signed Tua to a lucrative contract. And he sucks. 

You've kept the GM around for too many years, in spite of him being worthless (and possibly worse, because he is named in the lawsuit by former coach Brian Flores; this may be a way to "manage that")

And, there was a story during the preseason that Ross "expected" to be in the afc championship this year. Anything less and he'd fire the coach. And the rumor was that if they were below .500 at about 6 games, the coach would be gone. 

… and now that they're 0-2, you have to wonder what in the world he was thinking. You wasted the season on a weird expectation. 

This expression is a direct reflection on your ineptitude in running a football team. 

Call it a self own.

DNA Revealed a Surprising Twist About Christopher Columbus

All of this is certainly debatable. But it's interesting that there continues to be evidence suggesting that Columbus was not who we thought he was, and that the history is more complicated than we might have assumed.  

'This does not look right': Scientists accidentally measure ultrahot ring around black hole using rare 'double zoom' technique

Woah. Using a telescope and a galaxy in between to enhance the image is a surprising way to see more detail around a black hole. 

It's a cool "trick" of using the corona edge to refract light.  

Workplace harassment attorney sues Syracuse airport authority for refusing her advertisement

The height of absurdity is that this ad for sexual harassment was not allowed because 
airport leadership told her they believed the ad might be viewed as "threatening" or "intimidating" to men and that "local politicians" might find it offensive.

Right. Better to let men just harass women - just like the guy at the top was convicted of doing. 

How do you like that?

You may have seen this week that Jair Bolsonaro (former president of Brazil) was convicted of plotting a coup, and sentenced to prison. 

What I find interesting about that is this is a modern story about a 1st world nation, where the former president plotted a means to regain control of the office. He hadn't actually taken many tangible steps, but there was enough to convict him and prevent him from going at it again. 

While in our (supposed) 1st world nation here in the US, we had a former president actually stage a coup.  It started to happen, but got thwarted.  And yes, there was supporting evidence that this was all planned by him and he started it in motion. A coup. In the US. That people shrugged at. 

But our government failed to actually do anything about it. He wasn't charged. He wasn't held accountable. And then, he managed to win another election and has now subverted the government, effectively finalizing the coup, after a 4 year gap. 

Why in the world did the Biden administration do nothing about those actions?! 

Once someone sets up a coup, they never stop coming. Until they are charged and arrested, or wind up dead. 

And here we are. 

Brazil was better at handling the situation than we were. 

That's insane in my book.
