Why veteran Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday is the ultimate glue guy
Veteran Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday is one of the NBA's most underrated X-factors. Underrated by the Philadelphia 76ers after being drafted by that team out of UCLA back in the days of the 'Process,', Holiday was dealt to the New Orleans Pelicans despite making All-Star with the Sixers in 2013, who also made the mistake of not hanging on to him.
Even the Milwaukee Bucks, who won a title thanks in no small part to his defensive wizardry, did not hang onto Holiday, the California native ending up on the Celtics roster as a result -- and winning another title with them.

Tiffany Gomas, ‘crazy plane lady' who went viral after ‘not real' rant on flight, launches new career
The 'crazy plane lady' is now the 'safe for work lady.' Tiffany Gomas, whose notoriety took flight after she had a caught-on-camera meltdown on a plane in 2023, is getting a new career off the ground. The 40-year-old marketing executive and 'entrepreneurial trailblazer' — whose 'that motherf–ker is not real' rant on an American Airlines flight went viral two years ago — is now going to be a content creator for Passes, TMZ reported. She had been rumored to join OnlyFans, which features adult content, but Passes forbids explicit material, according to the outlet. She promises 'unfiltered, unexpected and unapologetic' material from her life. 3 Tiffany Gomas earned the nickname the Crazy Plane Lady after she had a meltdown on a flight in 2023. knuckelslawncare/Tiktok Gomas will share a behind-the-scenes looks 'of my chaos: work, workouts, pups, sports, shoes, & fits,' according to her bio on Passes. She encourages potential clients to direct message her since 'that's where all the magic happens' — before cheekily ending with a nod to her now-infamous tirade. 'Thanks for flying with me,' she wrote with a lips emoji. It will cost $9.99 a month to 'fly' with Gomas — the cheapest of several tiers she has on the site, which allows you access to her wall and earn discounts on her merchandise. Gomas made national headlines when she held up her fellow passengers on an American Airlines flight from Dallas to Orlando, after barreling to the front of the plane saying she was going to deboard because 'motherf–ker back there is not real.' 3 Tiffany Gomas, who earned the nickname the Crazy Plane Lady after she had a meltdown on a flight in 2023, is offering exclusive content on a safe for work site. Tiffany Gomas/Instagram Gomas has remained in the spotlight since, appearing on podcasts, YouTube shows and giving tours of her 'sleek' Texas home. In the months after the incident, she dispelled rumors that the episode was prompted by something supernatural or otherworldly. 'I literally did not see anything … It was an expression of speech,' she said on a podcast. 3 For $9.99 a month you can direct message the crazy plane lady and receive discounts on her merchandise. Instagram /@tiffanygomas The real reason was too 'cringe' to initially admit to, she said. 'The reason I probably haven't come out yet is that it's so cringe,' she said. Gomas said she got into a 'little bit of an altercation' with another passenger and that 'it spiraled out of control.' 'It was not my best moment … it was actually a horrible moment. Absolutely mortifying. How horribly mortifying,' she added. Authorities issued her a warrant for criminal trespass for the incident on the plane, but she was not charged or arrested, records show. Gomas has worked at Uppercut Marketing, LLC since 2016, according to her now defunct LinkedIn page.
