Sounded like they had all 52 on board with it. Losing McCain means they still have the votes.

Apparently there was an electrical fire, and their backup generators got cut out of the loop somehow.

Just a reminder: This is like the 4th or 5th major electrical issue that anything Delta related has had, they had two Data Center power issues last last year where their backup generators didn't kick on and half their UPSes were dead.

That data center was at their headquarters on the grounds of ATL right?

I would assume that the airport authority would be responsible for the backups and not delta, but...

Delta helped plan and layout the Airport during expansion, as its their primary hub.

Detla's Datacenter is immediately across the runway next to their Depot and HQ.

Right, it was more just the irony that they seem to both have major issues in standby power plants, so close to one another,

He's doing it voluntarily but every sports league has mechanisms to kick out owners. C.f. the clippers and how Steve Ballmer got the team.

It didn't quite get far enough for them to formally tell him to gently caress off like Donald Sterling, but the NFL picked up the investigation and it would have quickly got to that with all the poo poo he's done.

The lowly Cleveland Browns.

That's alright though. At least you're not a Vikings fan. We're going to make it all the way to the Superbowl played on our own home field and get ruined by the Patriots 48-0.

The stadium people are freaking out about this possibility because it means that they only have a week to go from the NFC championship game with "Vikings" everywhere to the superbowl neutral site setup.

My boss is on some kick where he thinks the browns will win the superbowl before 2020, because they've been amassing good draft picks for years. He is also an Eagles fan so I guess one lovely team deserves another.

It might be plausible I guess for the Browns to win the super bowl? The Ravens won twice, and they were the old Browns team, moved to Baltimore.

Haha who am I kidding, "That's so Browns" is a sports meme for a reason.

He'd probably only need 1-2 more people to go in on it.

edit: Correction: fortune guesstimates his net worth as more than Jay-z - 800mil vs 600mil and supposedly the panthers are worth $2bil. http://www.charlotteobserver.com/sports/nfl/carolina-panthers/panther-tracks/article174004921.html So more than just 1 or 2. That said I suspect puffy daddy doesn't need to go too far into his phone book to raise a group for that.
