Joe Mazzulla may not have cared too much about being named the coach of the month when he first started leading the Celtics. But as they rip through the NBA with the best record through two-plus months, he believes the recognition reaffirms what they’re doing on a daily basis.And Mazzulla would like to see the award named something else.“Does it mean something to me? In the past I probably would have said no,” Mazzulla said after the Celtics’ 126-97 win over the Jazz pushed them to 27-7 this season. “But I think it’s a testament to what we’re building and what we’re creating. So it’s a testament to the staff. I wish they would change it to staff of the month because I’m not doing it by myself. I’m not the one controlling scouts, I’m not the one making the edits, I’m not the one doing the matchups during the game or coming up with lineup suggestions. That’s the entire staff.“Then if the players don’t let me coach them, I’m not really a good coach. So I think it’s a testament to the e...

Air travel looks very different now than it did just a few years ago when the coronavirus pandemic grounded folks around the world, putting a halt to travel for both leisure and business.In 2020, passenger traffic on U.S. airlines was at its lowest since the mid-1980s, with just 369 million passengers. In 2021, the U.S. started to get back to more normal air travel levels, and by 2022, the country was up to 853 million airline passengers. By the looks of it, 2023 is likely to outpace those numbers and return to pre-pandemic levels—nearly 3 million people flew in and out of U.S. airports daily as of April 2023, according to data from the Federal Aviation Administration's Air Traffic Organization.When you're at the airport, shuffling around with your roller bag, backpack, neck pillow, and water bottle among the thousands of other passengers doing the same, you're probably not too concerned with more than your flight. Is it on time? Who will be sitting next to you? Did your checked bag...
