I see a cards org with one losing season in 20+ years.

I fly into town Friday for this game....first Lions game ever, first NFL game in general!

Yes, No blackout! Looking back on that, how stupid was the blackout rule. Purposely not making your product accessible to hundreds of thousands of the most devout local fans because they had an extra 10,000 tickets available. Seems so archaic to market anything that way now.

he's disputing the importance of the Espion-a-Largo scandal as it was merely a dispute over document storage. Um, nope.

Whenever I hear Ernie Harwell I think of 2 things........My red bike with the purple banana seat. And the time that all the family came out to our house to a gathering. My dad had 9 brothers and sisters and 6 of them lived closed by. Dozes of Cousins..............we had a pool. My dad's father was still alive at the time. He was Serbian and he was a very soft spoken and unassuming man (10 kids'll do that to you). We couldn't find Pa. Nobody knew where he was. He wasn't senile or anything like that. Finally, we found him sitting in a car down the street listening to Ernie. It was a hot day too. He didn't want to bother anyone by asking to put it on in the house "the kids want to hear their music". We had a radio and he wound up sitting in the garage listening. He never went to a game and almost never watched them on TV, he just loved listening to Ernie.

LOL. We had that in Sterling Heights. House was built in 1969ish. It was a one-level house and it's not like it was huge, anyone's voice could easily carry through it. But my sister and I would annoy the hell out of my dad. Every time he'd use it (and it was never anything serious), while he was talking we'd always hit the mic button wherever we were and it would be nothing but feedback and you'd hear my dad yell out "ALRIGHT, THAT'S ENOUGH" Had a radio built in and on the weekends if my mom was out my dad would put Ernie Harwell on throughout the house.

This reminded me of a funny story. The house we lived in when I was a young kid had an intercom system. It was a convenient way of getting five kids to come to dinner etc. So we sold the house and eventually one of the next owners, rather than removing the system or unplugging it, simply wallpapered over it. Fast foward a number of years, my neighbor next door, who still lives there, is a HAM radio enthusiast. Due to the age of the intercom system, it would occasionally pick up the signals from his HAM radio. The people thought the house was haunted because of the muffled voices coming out of the walls. Funny enough, it didn't even happen when he was using it. It was picking up random signals from all over the world so sometimes the voices would be speaking foreign languages.

I fixed a bunch of stuff around the house that had been annoying me for a very long time. My bathroom and media room now have fully-functioning doorknobs that don't come out. (Older house, modern doorknobs did not work). Kind of embarrassing, but I basically live alone with a dog, so it wasn't a super big deal. Fixed my fence gate (for now), so I don't have to lift it to latch it. Fixed the front closet door (hinges were coming out of the doorjamb which is old. Used toothpicks. Replaced a broken medicine cabinet door. I am not good at fixing things. This weekend was a big deal for me.

I would argue that finding talent is a glaring need, and just because two people have a similar resume, doesn't mean they have similar skills. It is clear as an executive, Al Avila was a failure, I'm not so sure we can definitively say that about Slater. Do you think Avila would have been able to work his way up the chain in St. Louis the past 15 years? We don't need somebody in the GM chair who knows Python, or can do a biomechanics assessment. We need somebody there who can effectively manage the people who can do those things, knows when they are succeeding, and get the different parts of the organization to work together effectively. I'm just not sure you are I is going to be able to assess these candidates without knowing them personally. And golly gee, as I check Linkedin, there's at least one poster here who does 🙂

I have a few. First, just so it's on the docket, back somewhere @Biff Mayhem tuned me on to the mesh wireless (think Donald Sutherland playing officer in The Dirty Dozen - never heard of it). To the Paul Harvey rest of the story, I have passed that along when I can. A good buddy had the same issues. Fixed. He's happier than a pig in the mud. As am I. The next two are probably well known, but I'll go anyway. Because, like above, you never know. In today's world we deal with many cables, cords, whatever. Fold and stuff them into the cardboard sleeve that comes with the toilet paper and paper towels. You can take a marker and label them. Vinegar is on the Mt. Rushmore of home necessities, especially cleaning.

Look how happy she is to see you!!! ❤️😂

We just gave everyone across the board a 13% raise. 5% of it was their annual raise they normally get at the start of the fiscal year in a month. The rest is just a cost of living raise. Inflation sucks.

No freaking way. That uniform is absolutely grotesque. I would hate to be a Rockets player wearing that. Give me teal any day over that eyesore.
