So he had to fire one of his idiots because he couldn't do some even more idiotic. Perfect symmetry.

I would assume that rule assumes the catcher is out of play when the ball gets stuck in his apparatus? There had to be rule of course, but that doesn't mean I have to think it's a good one. It's a much simpler rule book if the batter is just out if the ball hasn't touched the ground. The problem with that is you know it would get abused and pretty soon guys would show up in the field with big bags of fabric around their arms or the like.

Hat tip to Al Karsten. He has been on Blake Miller to the Lions for weeks. Maybe he is more dialed in to Allen Park than Charlie Campbell.

I'm a little surprised Japan is not on the less-than-1% map.

Always a big favorite of mine, although I prefer the actual Nielsen map much more.

Oh, so you don't consider me important enough to personally attack, huh? Wow... just dismiss me as frivolous... I see how it is.

Trump Airlines II. Won't last as long as the first

if he's elite, why does it matter?

i would never personally attack you, red. even when youre wrong. 😉

Oh look DOJ is dropping their investigation of Powell. I guess our markets are free of government influence now.

I like the pitching matchups in this series. Flaherty may be a question mark but he's going up against Brady Singer and his 5.32 ERA.

You gotta figure the Lions will be pulling as much data out of Miller that can about him. I mean obviously they've already done their homework, but now that they've got an additional information source they better be using it.

I am a bit disappointed that Rutledge went to the Texans... I mean, I know G isn't high on the list of needs, but how cool would it have been to have a Rutledge and a Ratledge as our starting guards??

And how many minutes is tht and who else is on the court?

You can shut down an elite post scorer if you pack the paint to shut him down. Duren is so far above Drummond in terms of work on defense nd passing ability...that said, Drummond's had a long NBA career and he's arguably the 4th or 5th best Pistons big in the last 50 years. (Lanier, Wallace, Laimbeer , Drummond and Duren).

really like the Miller pick maybe TJ Parker, edge, Clemson, or Jacob Rodriguez, LB, Texas Tech will be there at 50 but Brad will probably be moving up (or down) anyway

It was a hard decision for them because they really like Miller and his upside outweighed his lack of injuries. However the Lions believe that they can rectify the situation. My insiders tell me that the Lions have hired someone to take a crowbar to Miller's knee when he gets off the plane in Detroit.

Because I feel personally attacked by this post, I'm gonna defend myself (even though I know this was mostly just meant as humor). The reality is that ALL GMs have ALWAYS mixed need and BPA. It's never a question of all NEED or all BPA, but rather how much does one vs. the other impact the decision. And even that's way to simple of a question. How big is the need? Like does a team literally have no one on the staff who could be expected to be an adequate starter or do they have someone who would be okay, but they'd really prefer to upgrade? Saying Holmes is a BPA guy isn't saying that he only drafts the BPA and never the need, just that the slider between NEED and BPA is well past half-way towards the BPA side. I consider BPA to be more important in Holmes determination than it likely is for most NFL GMs.

Lions are gonna roll out with a 3-tackle base set this year.

i got my picture taken with skeeter barnes once when he was manager of the lakeland tigers, circa 2000. sadly i have misplaced it

Wonder if Thibedeoux will be on the move today. Would have to be a creative package money wise to make sense for Detroit
