Planes should have giant parachutes to prevent crash landings

I was watching the movie Sully... and I was just wondering, why don't planes just build parachutes so if that happens they can just parachute down and not have to worry about crash landing? Like inside the plane so it's like oh shit the engine's failed, pop parachute, safe.

While small private planes (Cirrus) have whole-plane parachutes, the physics of weight, speed, and drag make this unfeasible for commercial airliners like the A320 in Sully.

The NFL MVP race is boring and I don't care who wins

My take on the MVP is I don't give a fuck. Ooh, that's pretty good. So, yeah, a little hot take there for you. I don't really – I can't get excited about an MVP race.

This is a subjective personal feeling about the level of interest in an award.

Tom Brady should be the NFL MVP despite only playing 12 games

If Tom Brady isn't the MVP, it's just further showing [the system is corrupt]... He still had better stats than him. Tom Brady's stats are still better than the other quarterbacks in contention stats. That's the point.

Matt Ryan won the 2016 NFL MVP. Brady finished second.

Tom Brady is a system quarterback because Jimmy Garoppolo played well in his absence

Well, [Brady] is also a system quarterback because Jimmy Garoppolo played pretty well. So, yeah. You can't give it to a system quarterback.

While Brady obviously flourished in Belichick's system, 'system quarterback' is a pejorative that the sports world generally rejects for Brady.

The Giants are a strong play with the points

I love the Giants nine. JJ McCarthy was phenomenal last week. You look great. The Texans are not great.

The Giants' performance against the spread in this game resolves the prediction.

Mike McDaniel Should Already Be Fired

Their offense is horrible. Mike McDaniel should have already been fired.

This is a judgment about coaching performance and is inherently subjective.
