Eagles Suck. From the Philadelphia Inquirer: “All week long, first-year coach Nick Sirianni embraced the Eagles-Cowboys storied rivalry. He created T-shirts that read ‘BEAT DALLAS’ and distributed them to the entire locker room. He gushed about the pride from fans across the region. He raved and preached ‘Dawg Mentality.’ But when it mattered most, Sirianni and the Eagles faltered in prime time and lost 41-21 to the Cowboys.” LOL

Unions Warn of Flight Delays if Pilots Are Fired Over Lack of Vax. The unions representing pilots for American and Southwest say that if their flyers are held to federal rules, it could lead to “mass terminations of unvaccinated pilots.” They say this could lead to problems during the holiday travel period. This makes me curious why so many pilots would be unvaccinated.
