I think I would be annoyed to have to work for any of these people. I once interned for a GOP rep and the guy was getting free labor from me but insisted I use his title when talking to him. While that seemed pretty innocuous to me at the time, it really bothered me when i saw how he treated others. Now Slotkin seems like she'd be a bit more difficult than others to work for, just a feeling. Daughter from a wealthy family and all that. That said, they are ham sandwich and I'm voting for that over any GOP person until Trumpism and MAGA is no more.

agree.

Dude deserves his day to be sure.

lamelo ball has to be one of the more unlikeable players in the league. 2-16 from 3? intentionally hurts the other team's best player? totally selfish and stupid player. immensely physically talented but just a **** and a dumbass.

I hope the boys all got their taxes done and don't have to rush to finish up before gametime.

Once again with feeling: prospect ratings have very little correlation with results on the ice. wheeler and pronman are great, but their ratings have much more to do with draft position than anything else. and if you are to take them seriously, all they show about the wings is that they have a lot of players projected to be 3rd liners and second pair defensemen, and no stars. nate danielson and marco kasper were both top ten picks. both dropped like a stone in those rankings once they got on the ice against men. asp now too. most of us really overrate red wings prospects. me included.

It's not unique to the Times, but the tendency of American outlets to frame Trump attacking the Pope as a "feud" is a way to "both sides" a conflict that really has only one side to it. Which comes across as bringing Leo down to Trump's level (he's not) and making the conflict seem like it's mutual (it isn't)

I read that book for a book report in grade school. I don't think the teacher was happy that I chose it. But she audibly laughed when I read aloud Sparky's entry about clinching the division. He got cut by a bottle of champagne and remarked how the mixture of blood and bubbly looked good on his jersey.

Its Jackie Robinson Day.

I care less about my senator's vote for a cabinet official who would have won anyway and I care more about my senator's appeal in the rest of our state that outside of a few metro areas, can be as red as Alabama and if that vote makes it more likely they'll get some votes they otherwise wouldn't get, then fine. What Obama did in 2008 is ancient history. The world and landscape is different now and he's not running. Al-Sayed is not Obama.

One game that always gets mentioned in lists like this, outside of those with playoff implications, is the 1998 game against the Cubs. I was there and it seems like everybody else was. I had just started working, shirt and tie kind of job, recently married, and met friends there on the way home from Warren. So there I am in July at a game in a shirt and tie. Kerry Wood pitched. Matt Anderson made his MLB debut, threw one into the backstop during warmups, Sammy Sosa hit a HR breaking Rudy York's record for HR In a month. I believe he got a curtain call.

We have now beaten an American league team. I own a copy of the book above. It is not for sale.

I have no idea what you people are talking about when you’re talking about the fuzz and turtles.

You're reading too much into one 20-word or so question that took me 20 seconds to think about and write. All's fine.

Did they? Few teams were impacted less by injury than were the Wings. A few games for Edvinsson in late January, 3 games for Copp in early March, 7 games for Larkin in March. In an 82 game season that's about as uneventful as you can expect.

Wings' system was rated #5 by the Atlantic in 2025, #2 in 2024, #4 in 2023, #7 in 2022, #4 in 2021, #9 in 2020. Well past time for these rankings to finally convert into on-ice results. How did the Wings get The Athletic's #4 in 2021 and how has it turned out? In this order: Raymond, Seider, Berggren, Veleno, Wallinder, Rasmussen, Tuomisto, Albert Johansson, Niederbach, McIsaac. Nothing to get excited about beyond two top-6 overall picks. How did the Wings get The Athletic's #4 in 2021 and how is that shaping up 3 years later? In this order: Edvinsson, Kasper, Cossa, Berggren, Mazur, Wallinder, Soderblom, Buchelnikov, Albert Johansson, Buium. Again, nothing to get excited about beyond the one top-6 overall pick. Underwhelming! Well past time for these rankings to finally convert into on-ice results. I'm skeptical! Who was #4 the other years? NYR in 2020. NJ Devils in 2022. San Jose in 2024. Chicago in 2025. A mixed bag.

I turn off the audio at times too. When the giggling starts, the sound goes off.

Orlando has a star player? Must be going by contract value.

41 points and 12 assists for Avdija to put Portland into the playoffs as the 7th seed in the west.

No clue what Washington got for Avdija, but I'm guessing it wasn't enough.

voting against appointments from the minority doesn't actually accomplish anything - it's nice symbolism, but does it matter? I'd guess most members make those votes because they are hoping to bank some goodwill capital to get something later that will be worth more than a symbolic no vote that doesn't stop anything. I guess there is a level where more 'symbol' can be good thing but in the end, stuff that doesn't make a difference, doesn't make a difference. OTOH, if any of those votes could have stopped one of those appointments, then I agree with you.

Hope they all meet in the middle of it will be a frustrating season

I see little route for them to improve much. None of the players likely to come up from GR have shown much indication any of them are going to be more than younger versions of the same kind of middling players they are going to replace. They might have a goalie in either Augustine or Cossa, but it still looks like a mediocre team with little chance to do any more than get washed out of an early cup round. The D is good, yes, but they need more help on the lines than I see any way for them to generate.
