The 90 Miles Mystery Box: Episode #991

You have come across a mystery box. But what is inside?

It could be literally anything from the serene to the horrific,

from the beautiful to the repugnant,

from the mysterious to the familiar.

If you decide to open it, you could be disappointed,

you could be inspired, you could be appalled.

This is not for the faint of heart or the easily offended.

You have been warned.

A TUNISIAN ASYLUM SEEKER, AGED 16, RAPED AND ATTEMPTED TO STRANGLE FEMALE JOGGER...

The 40-year-old victim was out jogging in an isolated area on the outskirts of La Maddalena, a small commune on the northern side of Sardinia, when the young Tunisian attacked her from behind, raped her, and then attempted to strangle her, L’Unione Sarda reports.

Fortunately, before the migrant attacker managed to shut the woman up entirely, she was able to scream for help which caught the attention of two people who were also exercising in the area. After hearing the victim’s cries, the two joggers in the area immediately came to her aid and chased the rapist off. Had they failed to act quickly, the migrant could have killed her.

The two men then transported the victim, who was shaken to her core, to a hospital nearby where she was treated for injuries.

At around 1am, not long after the attack was reported to police, local law enforcement managed to capture the attacker after locking the area down.

Apparently, the 16-year-old Tunisian suspect had been known to local police for previous run-ins, and had been living at the La Maddalena migrant reception...

New NFL Rule Would Improve Draft Picks for Teams That Hire Minorities

If you’re going to go diversity, you may as well go all in.

The National Football League is proposing a new rule that would reward teams that hire minority head coaches and general managers with improved positions in the college draft.

Under the proposal, a team could improve its third-round draft position by up to 16 places. Teams will receive an improvement of ten spots if they hire a minority general manager or equivalent front-office position, and six spots for hiring a minority head coach.

Of the last 20 NFL head coaches hired, just 2 were minorities.

The league is concerned that the racial makeup of its hierarchy does not reflect the racial character of its fan base. The new rule still needs approval by 24 of the 32 owners to go into effect.

ESPN:

Under this plan, a team could move up five spots in the fourth round if a minority head coach or general manager successfully entered the third year on the job, according to the report. Retaining a minority quarterbacks coach after one year would net a fourth-round compensatory pick, a nod to the importance of quarterback expertise to the head-coaching pipeline, according to the report.

Conversely, losing minority candidates to other teams would earn draft capital — a third-round compensatory pick for a minority candidate leaving to become a head coach or general manager and a fifth-round compensatory pick to the former team for a coordinator hire.

Choosing a minority head coach based on color for any reason is stupid. But so is the process of choosing an NFL head coach. How is it that so many failed head coaches, fired from previous jobs — presumably for inferior performance — end up latching on to another team? White, black — it doesn’t matter. The system is rigged in favor of an NFL coaching “fraternity” from which teams are supposed to choose a candidate.

Rarely does a team gamble on taking an “unproven” head coach, either from the college ranks or the corps of assistant coaches eagerly waiting for their chance.

General managers also play musical chairs with teams, but most franchises like to promote from within when it comes to many front office personnel.

There are other “diversity” changes being considered by the owners:
