    All large businesses have succession plans. I have one built for myself and all of my directs. It isn;t a guarantee, but it ensures that you have a plan and dedicate needed resources to your high potential candidate(s). And it is generally in preparation for getting promoted, but...

    Formula 1 2023 Season

    He has been such a mess since the summer break. He has been driving sloppy, and if he doesn't make that lunge there he likely has a podium finish. End of the day he is lagging both McLaren drivers in post break points, with Lando doubling his output.

    In case you forgot the insanity of Bob Knight

    That kid worked for me. He referred to him as Knight instead of coach Knight. He was harassed for years by IU fans about the incident.

    Absolutely. You have to wonder if Perez starts pursuing a seat elsewhere. not sure how is contract works, but hard to see RB not letting him out. Normally you take the money, but I can imagine how bad of a work environment that is. On the Ricciardo side I am a big fan of his, but getting...

    Formula 1 2023 Season

    Interesting grid for tomorrow. That combined with a chance of rain may make for a fun race. Checo looks terrible again. You have to wonder how much rope he has. You can’t have a car that is that much better than the field and start in the back of the pack multiple weeks in a row. You have to...

    JUDAH'S BACK

    I think the part I'm most excited about is that Red has a true play maker at the point. I wondered earlier on whether Red would have the players to bring his own style to the court in year 1. I believe when you look at the roster there is enough athleticism and talent to get creative. It...

    Very excited for golfing this year

    Mizuno is moving their research and development facility to my club. I'm looking forward to it and think it may prompt me to move to Mizuno irons as I am in the market right now

    Formula 1 2023 Season

    he has been vocal about not liking the sprint races. If they don't influence qualifying position and he doesn't need the points it would make sense. As an athlete his health is the most important. Sprint races tend to get aggressive. Would be interesting to see Ricciardo get some run in that...

    Will be interesting to see if Max sits them out later in the year if the points don't matter.

    I'm going to Nassau (Cove Atlantis) in a few weeks, have been to the Rosewood at Baja Mar. I find it good for quick and easy getaway from Atlanta. also going to Aruba next month, which I prefer to Nassau. Never stayed at the Cove so I will let you know how it is. Baja Mar was good, but the...

    We all want to know what Autry will do different

    Regardless of Red's desired style of play, we have recruited specifically to fit the 2-3 zone. For his sake I hope that if he wants to move to M2M that the fanbase is smart enough to know that he may not have the roster for it in year 1.

    Agree. I absolutely love the Mercedes livery. I thought the silver always looked a little soft. That thing is mean looking. McLaren needs to make a decision on their color schemes. this appears to bring more black in similar to their indy car livery. They snuck some of that gulf blue in...

    Reviews of bier, wine, scotch and cigars...

    Yeah for 85 you can do so much better. Also it really has less to do with transport and more with storage. A lot of wine people drink is not properly stored and can turn fairly easily.

    Formula 1 2023 Season

    I would assume Max wins WDC and if I had to bet I think Mercedes fights for constructors. I agree Checo may just not be consistent enough. I don't see Max losing anytime soon, unless Mercedes finds way more than I think they are capable of.

    Tis the season to get excited about teams not names Ferrari, Red Bull, and Mercedes. We can enjoy that until the 4th race when it it clear that nobody has closed the gap.

    The question was fine if the team completely imploded. I would challenge that as there were mitigating factors. Also his tone is interesting. Hard to believe he hoped for a true answer it was a classic gotcha/no good answer question.

    Cuse fans were amazing today!

    My boys 10 and 11 were pretty confused by the Let’s go Orange chants. They loved it but were shocked there were so many Cuse fans and no Tech fans there

    I also wonder if Ricciardo’s discomfort is compounded by trying not to make a mistake. Wonder if a clear mind allows him to drive a little more freely. The car still won’t suit him at all but maybe he takes more chances.

    Agree 100%. I would love Ric and Guenther for entertainment purposes only. I'm more willing to watch Ric find some portion of his old form than watch Gio be nondescript at best. My assumption is Gio is very marketable for the Ferrari team being an Italian driver, but I just don't see it.

    Ive already spoken to the MGM group and F1 about hospitality. They let me know they were working out pricing, and would give corporate package preference to sponsors then open them up to the public. When I asked if Miami was a good barometer from a pricing perspective they believed their hotel...

    F1 2022 Season

    Apparently Ricciardo was informed by McLaren after the Hungarian GP that they are giving his seat to Piastri. Clearly the car doesn't suit Ricciardo's style, and I read a great article that highlights why, and how much he needs to adapt vs what Lando has had to adapt to. All of that said...

    I’m the same way. I tend to root more for the race to be interesting. I love the first lap and if you find me a race with multiple restarts it’s fun. That and when there is actually a question of what the podium will look like. When it’s Max and Leclerc out front with. I real fighting I’ll...

    I look at Max in a similar way. The example I gave a friend the other day is this and I hope it makes sense. As a Red Sox fan I hated Jeter, but at no point was that hate ever out of a true dislike, I hated how good he always was, and how much better he made that team. Didn't hate the man...

    Sounds like the only way they can boot him is if they buy him out. Not sure that happens as most of the young drivers are either tied to other teams, or don't yet have their super license. Maybe that is an easy fix, but whether its Herta, or O'ward they have those guys locked in now. They...

    Seb is truly a great guy from what I can tell. Not sure about who he was in the past as I just started following over the last two years. Seems to just be a genuine guy who liked to race fast cars.

    I know it costs money but I highly recommend the F1 proTV subscription. I like the broadcast and even if you watch on ESPN you can follow the driver in car and telemetry if it suits you. I found the same thing with ESPN and wanted a little better on demand experience. It’s 80 bucks a year and...

    Sounds like it is happening mid season or they may wait until 2023. Latifi is Canadian so makes sense to let him race his home GP. Piastri is too good to sit back and be a reserve driver from the sounds of it. Alos hear Giovanazzi returns in Mick's seat next season. Not sure I believe that...

    F1 2022 Season

    Baku is such a great track. With my limited knowledge what stands out is that there are multiple overtake opportunities. Additionally it seems that the track doesn't purely reward speed. The teams have to either choose speed on the straights or in the corners. The straight speed of the...

    As far as Danny goes it is painful to watch. I have really become a Mclaren fan. Both drivers are likable, long history but not much success in the last decade. Trying to understand the challenge is interesting and another layer I didn't fully understand in the build of the cars. McLaren...

    Thinking of going with a luxury SUV, but more of

    Wife drives a Volvo XC90. We enjoy it quite a bit. The Porsche SUV’s don’t live up to their brand in my opinion. Mercedes has to be the best appointed interior and they did a great job with their newest luxury/tech packages. I drive the e-class and love it. Once you get into the luxuries I...

    I had reserved a suite at the Miami race through work. Paid the deposit and the day we were to pick the suite location they tripled the price. Needless to say I wasn’t happy and 150k was a non starter. Seeing some of the setup as much as I want to watch the race live it looks kind of cheesy...

    I didn’t spend anytime in Lisbon but did go to Sintra which is very close. Loved this place. Adega Regional de Colares Also it was rich in history with plenty of castle tours and a number of beautiful views around the area. Really enjoyed the landscape.

    Tough one. I suppose for just getting away on a golf trip Streamsong. You are pretty remote and it’s great for a group of guys to play some awesome courses and not have to go anywhere else. Reminds me of Kohler in that way. Reunion is awesome golf and you can get off property end do other...
