I'm not one who typically agrees with MTG, but Stopped Clock definitely applies here.

Candidates: Game 163 in 2009 against the Twins... full suckitude for losing but damn what a game. 2006 ALDS Kenny Rogers start against the Yankees at Comerica Park. That crowd was rocking. Game 5 1984 This one from the 1935 World Series seems like a humdinger Game 3 Friday, October 4, 1935 1:30 pm (CT) at Wrigley Field in Chicago, Illinois Team 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 R H E Detroit 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 4 0 0 1 6 12 2 Chicago 0 2 0 0 1 0 0 0 2 0 0 5 10 3 WP: Schoolboy Rowe (1–1) LP: Larry French (0–1) Home runs: DET: None CHC: Frank Demaree (2) In Game 3, Frank Demaree's leadoff home run in the second off Elden Auker put Chicago on the board. A one-out single and subsequent error put runners on first and third before Bill Lee's ground out made it 2–0 Cubs. They added a run in the fifth when Billy Jurges drew a leadoff walk, moved to second on a sacrifice bunt and scored on Augie Galan's single. The Tigers got on the board in the sixth when Goose Goslin singled off Lee and scored on Pete Fox's triple. In the eighth, after a walk and double, Goslin's two-run single tied the game and knocked Lee out. Reliever Lon Warneke allowed two singles, the second of which to Billy Rogell scoring a run, then Fox stole home to make it 5–3 Tigers. Detroit brought back Game 1 starter Schoolboy Rowe in relief. He allowed three straight one-out singles in the ninth, the last of which to Ken O'Dea, before Augie Galan's sacrifice fly sent the game into extra innings, but Rowe nailed down the victory after Jo-Jo White's RBI single scored the winning run off Larry French in the 11th. This game remarkably featured four ejections. The Tigers lost coach Del Baker while The Cubs lost Woody English, Tuck Stainback and manager Charlie Grimm. Neither English nor Stainback were in the game.

I could totally see Lebron doing a special on ESPN where he plays YouTube clips of his highlights and at the end he announces if he’s retiring or returning to the Lakers.

This is a great way to ensure you don’t have a 10 year rebuild. Must be nice. I do have to give Chicago credit for not trading their lottery pick for a 34 year old defenseman.

Current odds from DK.

I’ll take a stab at this. Daddy in this case is Kerby Joseph. He’s going to be back, presumably playing football, and he’s going belt to ass. We can assume that is a metaphor for Joseph bringing the physicality required of a safety and not an Adrian Peterson situation.

The strange demons over him is a nice touch.

I really hope this isn't just bravado, because a healthy Kirby Joseph would mean the world to this team.

Wut?

The league will nibble around the edges in an attempt to fix things. But you will never see any meaningful changes until the money disappears. So far, there has been no sign of the money train slowing down so I wouldn't hold my breath on those changes. There is also the possibility we are just old and our opinions no longer matter. This weekend, Coachella paid Justin Bieber $10 million to go on stage to sit at a computer and play his old videos on Youtube. Imagine that happening when we were kids? I guess it wouldn't have been Youtube back then. It would have been Axl Rose rolling out one of those A/V carts from school with the VCR and TV on it.

There is a Weather Channel soundtrack/playlist available on spotify...

1st nomination for me would be the Tanana 1987 game I put in the other thread. The closure of Gibby's beartrap on our big rival from that era. Game 7 of 1968 would seem to have to be there. Clinching game in 2006?

1976 needs to be in there too.

I don't have an actual list I just know that one would be on it. I have fond memories from nearly every era. The 1967 heartbreaker solidified me as a fan for life. 1968 was special for an 8 year old kid, I loved every one of those guys and still do. 1972 the last hurrah of the 68 boys. 1981 oh so close with the kids 1984 the magical season 1987 the beartrap....then heartbreak. 2006 the drought is broken 2011-2014 trying to get Mr. I his WS win 2024 shocking the world Lots of history there to pick from, would be fun to point out personal favorites and see if there's a consensus?

Every year since the Brad Holmes era began, most of the players they've drafted in the first round were also 1 of the 30 they had in for a player visit. Same gores for their second round picks as well. The only exceptions in the first round were Jamo and Gibbs, they did not reportedly meet with either of them. Thanks to a poster on Pride of Detroit for this information. 2022–2025: 2025: Top 30 - Williams, Ratledge, TeSlaa 2024: Top 30 - Arnold, Rakestraw 2023: Top 30 - LaPorta, Branch, Hooker, Martin / Campbell - Combine / Gibbs- none 2022: Top 30 - Hutchinson, Kerby / Paschal - Combine / Jamo - none

Here is a list of the prospects the Lions have met with. Could be one or both of our day 1 and 2 picks are on this list. Top 30 Visits (In-Person at Allen Park) Tyre West (DL, Tennessee) Caleb Banks (DL, Florida) Demarcus Lacey (RB/WR, Marshall) Jimmy Rolder (LB, Michigan) — Local visit Jay Hunt (DT, Cincinnati) Malcolm Dewalt IV (DB, Akron) Formal Combine Interviews Kadyn Proctor (OT, Alabama) Anthony Hill Jr. (LB, Texas) Nicholas Singleton (RB, Penn State) Mansoor Delane (CB, LSU) T.J. Parker (EDGE, Clemson) Akheem Mesidor (EDGE, Miami) Max Iheanachor (OT, Arizona State) Jaishawn Barham (LB, Michigan) Enrique Cruz Jr. (OL, Kansas) Emmanuel Pregnon (OL, Oregon) Jalen Farmer (IOL, Kentucky) Bud Clark (S, TCU) Jadon Canady (CB, Oregon) Taurean York (LB, Texas A&M) Darrell Jackson Jr. (DT, Florida State) Zion Young (EDGE, Missouri) Tyreke Sapp (EDGE, Florida) Marlin Klein (TE, Michigan) Joe Royer (TE, Cincinnati) Tanner Koziol (TE, Houston) Cole Payton (QB, North Dakota State)

Good idea for a thread. What were those top 10? And I'd have to include all eras.

This is one of the top 10 games in my Tiger history. Watched it at deer camp with 10-12 friends. What a nail biter and what performance by Frank. Trivia - my Dad played against Frank Tanana Sr in MHSAA basketball tournament.
