An unidentified NFL player and another man are suing United Airlines for sexual assault during a flight.

When I first came across the headline, I thought I had misread it. I assumed that the NFL player was being accused of sexual assault. No, this is definitely not the case. Continue reading Unidentified NFL Player Suing United For Sexual Assault During Flight

I’ve written a few times of airlines like Southwest having specialty fleets painted to commemorate a variety of things.

Southwest introduced us to Missouri One earlier this year. Here was a look at the airline’s specialty planes fleet back in 2013, some of which no longer exist.

JetBlue showed off a plane called Blue Bravest to support the FDNY Foundation in 2013.

There are many other airlines with specially painted planes and today Boeing brought back a very cool plane. Continue reading There’s A Boeing Seattle Seahawks Freight Plane

Last year I covered  the American Airlines- Dallas Cowboys giveaway AirTimeChallenge 
throughout the season. In the sweepstakes, 25,000 AA miles were given away 9 different times to one lucky winner.

The NFL has rightfully been taking a lot of heat due to a couple of somewhat recent domestic violence cases. The league has done a very poor job handling some disgusting situations involving some players.

The league initially suspended Ray Rice for 2 games for punching/ knocking out his wife (then his fiance) in Atlantic City back in February. Only after TMZ released a video of the incident did his team the Baltimore Ravens release him and the NFL suspend him indefinitely. Continue reading Radisson Suspends Vikings Sponsorship

I’ve heard stories of those fortunate enough to sit upfront on flights, trading their seats with members of the military but this story seems to be messed up in so many ways…

While on the way to work Wednesday morning I was listening to sports radio in my car when I heard bits of a story about a football player, DeAngelo Williams doing something incredibly nice. I only caught some of the story but from what I took from it, the player surprised a retired marine by trading him his business class seat, sitting (in the Marine’s seat) in coach.
