PROBLEM: Bill Polian   Hall of Fame executive.  His  status as a prognosticator is less solid. (NFL Network)
 Bill Polianâs  track record is undeniable. As general manager of the Buffalo Bills   he  cobbled together the lineups that advanced to four straight Super Bowls. With  Polian  at the personnel helm  the expansion Carolina Panthers advanced to the NFC championship game in just their second year of existence.  Polian  then concluded  his  career by shaping the Indianapolis Colts into a Super Bowl winner.
 He âs in  the Hall of Fame  and deserves to be  even if  his  post-football career as an ESPN analyst has been  shall we say  slightly less successful in the prediction department.
 Polian âs latest forecast involves Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson  who  he  says is too short â at 6-foot-3 â and not accurate enough to be a successful NFL quarterback.
âI think wide receiver â  he  said  when asked about what NFL position Jackson should play Monday on ESPNâs âGolic and Wingo.â âExceptional athlete  exceptional ability to make you miss  exceptional acceleration  exceptional instinct with the ball in his hand  and that âs  rare for wide receivers. That âs  [Steelers wideout Antonio Brown] and who else  name me another one whoâs like that  right? Julio [Jones] is not like that. This guy is incredible in the open field and [has] a great ability to separate and  again  heâs short and a little bit slight and clearly  clearly not the thrower that the other guys are. His accuracy isnât there  so I would say  donât wait to make that change  donât be like the kid from Ohio State [Terrelle Pryor] and be 29 when you make the change.â
Anyway  it wouldnât be the first time  Polian  has been wrong.

PROBLEM: âThe Honors are the greatest weekend of the year  and it is also the bane of our existence  â Deborah Rutter  said with a laugh. For the president of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts  the annual Kennedy Center Honors  airing on CBS on Dec. 26 and honoring dancer Carmen de Lavallade  rapper LL Cool J  television producer and writer Norman Lear and singers Gloria Estefan and Lionel Richie  is a welcome national spotlight on the memorial to the late president. But thatâs all anyone seems to know about the the white jewel box on the Potomac.
âWe really like to think about the other 364 days of the year  and all of the programming that happens on those days â  Rutter  told me in the latest episode of âCape Up.â âWhat I love about being here at the nationâs cultural center is that we have really a mandate to welcome all of the performing arts. It is not just a performing arts center for one assumed art form or another.â
I bet you didnât know that hip hop was one of those art forms at the Kennedy Center and that Q-Tip is its artistic director. âThis is a first â  Rutter  said. âAnd as far as I know  there is no other artistic director for hip-hop â¦ anywhere in probably the world. And weâre very proud to have Q-Tip here leading  guiding and inspiring us.â
While she didnât need much convincing   Rutter  allowed that there could be others who might â for fear of what it could mean for the other arts. âJust because we are bringing in more programming that includes hip-hop artists  it does not mean that weâre doing less dance or less international programming or less of the National Symphony Orchestra â she said. âIt just means that weâre doing more  that we have thrown open the doors of the Kennedy Center  and we are ensuring that all are welcome here.â

There are nine performance spaces at the Kennedy Center that are in use all year. In addition to the orchestra and  the Washington National Opera  Rutter  noted the 46-year-old institution has âa magnificent  world-recognized ballet season. We have contemporary dance  we have jazz  we have a huge jazz series  chamber music  recitals  comedy  international programming.â
Listen to the podcast to hear  Rutter  talk further about the work of the Kennedy Center and how it fits into the cultural life of Washington.  She  goes into what it is like to be the local performing arts center for members of Congress  foreign diplomats and âquite a number of justices from the Supreme Court.â But  Rutter  insists none of those constituencies tries to exert influence over programming.
âHere at the center we have no limits on what we could present â  Rutter  told me. âThe problems I always describe is how to say no  when to say no  and how to not be really  truly overwhelmed by the extraordinary limitless richness of what happens here.â
