Watched "Project Hail Mary" during most of the game but finally got home and watched the condensed game replay and Framber was throwing darts. Woof. Good signing. At least the March and April 2026 version so far.

Which of the 5 families gets the LSD franchise?

Noticed a comment elsewhere in the Michigan Men's BB thread about U-M's regents being "anti-semitic" which was read by me at roughly the same time as reading headline about Ohio University (not TOSU) students having a poll that was 86% against Israel. Israel having just dragged the dumbest and most craven US Presidents into a war after failing to convince the previous several US Presidents to do the same. Israel having just stomped all over the people who also claim their land who did horrible terroristic things. You can't conflate the two. The European Jewish people have the long history of oppression leading to the Holocaust. The Holocaust happened. It was horrible. Beyond horrible. As horrible as any of the 20th century's other horrors (i.e., Stalin's Holodomor and others, the Armenian genocide, Cambodia, all of Mao's horrors, Rwanda). Certain very powerful evangelicals trying to make Jesus come earlier and the manipulation of same by certain Israeli leaders is creating a horror all its own. People who have ethics and view the World (in its current form) as their project to reform and protect are naturally going to be against genocide.

He was there to get Trump to sign an EO to legalize magic mushrooms. Coming to a Pizza! Pizza! near you.../s And Trump, with no investigation by experts, agree to move forward.

i don’t think there is anything like a 1 to 1 correspondence between the voting population for regents seats and the mi dem party, but we’ll see

Don’t see the giants taking a WR that high. They already have Nabers.

I don't think Robby will have left for more than a week. I've been in a job where the boundaries between life and job get blurred. It's not easy to take a vacation, let alone a sabattical.

Yeah. I think asking someone like that to have an artists imagination is going to lead to pain. I think I would imagine Ian Kinsler who was in the bat business with Jack White might have been like that. Maybe JV who is married to a woman who is sort of plugged into the art world (as much as a bikini model might be).

I think it was the shameless commercialism it appeared to be.

I am sad to see Mohan leave. That actress is lovely. Mel is possibly leaving but not sure if that is a negotiation ploy. Her wacky personality change now that her sister is no longer hanging on her every move might be a fun one. She suddenly goes all hedonist, etc. I was resisting the importance of the Dr. Robby death wish until the last two episodes and they handled it pretty well with his friend and with dr. Abbott talking him through it as men. Sort or ties to first season of True Detective where two men who fought like brothers eventually have a moment of spartan truth.

Those are pretty dismal metrics to contemplate.

I thought the pizza one was a real expression of possible punk rock-itude by Torkelson (the purported originator of that one) but my gut tells me he was not being in any way subversive with that and that makes me sad.

Yeah, the pizza one was undignified. Unlike goading viewers into betting on the obscure performances of a particular batter. I’m glad the Tigers don’t have one anymore.

According to FanGraphs, the Tigers are 5th in pitching 15th in hittimg 21st in base running 28th in fielding That feels about right. Their fielding was better last year and their base running was a lot better. That's where they need to improve.

I'll have to miss tomorrow. That darn work thing. Keep it rolling!

B ball Paul should have been given some time. Their D seemed to take JD out of his game. If they lose this series JD isn't getting a max. I do think the time off wasn't ideal. I'm still 80% confident they will take this series. Orlando is a tougher match-up for Detroit than Charlotte. Bane is going to have a huge game at some point.

All of this plus more. Javonte only plays 5 minutes in this game even though he and Ausar were the only spark in the 1st half. He had 2 steals and was +4 on the court. Yet Tobias gets 36 minutes going 1-7 from three and 5-15 from the field with 3 turnovers and can't guard anyone. To make it more painful Tobias' missed threes were from the corners...y'know, the spot where Javonte shoots 50%. Stew with only 19 minutes in a game where JD is absolute garbage is a crime almost as bad as Ausar only getting 25 minutes. JD with 33 minutes and only 8 point and 7 rebounds. He had 3 turnovers, couldn't guard anyone, and was a team low -21. Meanwhile Stew was a +6 in his minutes. We knew this was coming from JB in the playoffs. Wasted a 39 pt game from Cade.

This is awesome. Kocur hadn’t gotten re-signed and was playing in a beer league in Detroit. Chicago came to town and he talked to Probert after. Said next time you come to Detroit, rough them up a bit so they think about needing an enforcer. Probert did. Bowman called Kocur the next day and told him to go to minor league camp and get in shape. He did and they signed him. Next time Chicago was in town he and Probert fought. They were down on the ice and Kocur told him hey thanks a lot.

I might still be up.

i Don’t miss elaborate cellys

Cade started slow but finished really strong. 39 points on 61% TS% is a fantastic game. Only 3 TO's 10-11 from the line. His defense was a bit iffy now and then. Not sure if you can ask him to do much more. Someone else is going to have to step up for them. If Duren really is a max player he needs to be averaged 20+ points and 10+ rebounds per game. Oh, and not get out played by Wendall Carter. Thompson played 6 minutes in the 3rd quarter and 3 in the 4th. Jenkins played 16 minutes in that time. Orlando had 54 points in the paint to Detroit's 34.

Way too early to judge anything.

They should do basketball this year for the Pistons.
