UTAH MAN SAVES OHIO BOY

Next year let’s just fire someone in like week #3.

When's the last time the Lions beat a team so bad that the opposing team waved the white flag and brought in the backup QB?

Nicely said. I also agree it would have been the riskier move to keep Candelario because the fans would have been howling about it all winter, creating more noise around the organization than stakeholders typically like. The far easier path with far less friction was to just let him go and take our chances on the open market, or even going with internal options that benefit from being known quantities that many fans will accept. Again, all moot if Harris has something up his sleeve for third base. Dumping Candelario for nothing because he had one bad year after two very good years is practically the very definition of selling low.

Might want to give it a little time.

I agree. After waiting so long for the rebuild to be over and then having the GM declare it over, I don't want to wait for endless rebuilding. Harris was quoted in the sports page today as saying he's more than will to take a risk. Taking a risk would be to keep your starting 3rd baseman for a measly 7 million dollars. If you end up signing a different 3rd baseman, trade him and pick up part of his salary. Do Tiger fans really want to trade away ML talent to get a 3rd baseman, possibly with less offense, less defense and a bigger salary? How many years are we going to be lied to? I get it, Candy really struggled in 2022. Yes, an upgrade would be great. But patience is limited and not having a replacement on the roster just makes not paying him look like a stupid and cheap move. It's telling the fans...hey we're not going to win anyway so we may as well not pay anyone. But buy some tickets now, we need the money.

USC was still in it with a loss, and Caleb Williams’ injury would have helped with that. But not when defense gives up 47 points to a 3-loss team they had already lost to. Harder to argue a healthy Caleb would have been worth a missing 24 points.

I disagree. I don’t think it’s generating fun for him this go around. I think his motivation is actually fear that one or more of these investigations will produce indictments. I think he is also seeing the real possibility that he could actually lose civil case(s), criminal case(s), or both and have jail time be a distinct possibility (or even probability).

I remember the 40 point beat down they put on the Tebow Broncos, but I'm sure there's been one more recently...

Too soon to call JaMo a bust? Can’t even tell he’s out there!

Respectfully disagree with your interpretation of risk. Holding on to the same player, who you have control over, is taking very little risk. Dumping that same underperforming player with the idea that you have an entire offseason to replace that anemic performance is really not much of a risk, either, as Candy set an incredibly low bar to improve upon. And it’s a lazy and uninformed take to suggest that the Tigers are going on the cheap because they refused to give a raise to a crappy employee.

At first he just asked if the rematched played any possibility and the Chairmen gave the stock answer of no so Rece followed with something like "So you mean to tell me nobody in that room during the discussions brought up the fact that maybe we should avoid a rematch?" The guy again then repeated his same stock answer then finally he did the thing I said earlier that I hate and said something like "So if OSU played TCU you don't think that they would be favored to win?"

Intel is also building one in Arizona. You are right that it takes a ton of water but it doesn't use much water if that makes sense. I saw it compared to a swimming pool. It takes a lot initially but once you fill it you don't need a lot of water to continue. They recycle and reuse the water. I also read Arizona is a favorite place because they rarely have natural disasters. So they don't have to have the same safety precautions you will in places with tornadoes, hurricanes, flooding, etc.

Maybe Harris has something up his sleeve, but otherwise, I’m not sure how we are going to unlock impact major leaguers through trades without giving up multiple single-digit Pipeline guys along with Riley or perhaps TORK! I’m not even sure any of the pitchers, like Manning, could get us much back in the way of big leaguers who can help right now. If it’s starters we want, I’m thinking we have to sign either free agents with sleeper potential, or second-tier free agents for first-tier money and years along with generous out clauses. Either way, Harris’s honeymoon ends this week.

Very interesting

Paul Finebaum's prediction 1 - Georgia 2 - Alabama 3 - LSU 4 - Tennessee

you say degenerate like it's a bad thing

I have have have seen anyone fake the flea flicker.

That fake flea flicker was pretty slick never seen that before.

I think there is zero chance of him going to jail and he knows it.

I'm not sure it matters what his motivation is. The reality is that anyone who talks about "suspending the Constitution" is talking like an aspiring Dictator and shouldn't be anywhere near power.

Shotgun draw on 4th and inches. That’s genius level turn over on downs.

Finally! Excited to see what Pierschbacher can do.

As usual, I'll bring the cocktail weenies. You can't go wrong with those, they taste as good as they look and they come with this delicious red sauce, it looks like ketchup, and it tastes like ketchup, but brother, it ain't ketchup!

As a jock I used to hate political season and it's endless spots, especially the week before Election Day. Especially since the stations I worked had policies of no competitors in the same stop set. It was small market in the 70s and 80s, we tried to limit lengths of breaks more or less. 3 spots, weather report, more spots, live psa or promo, etc. You were lucky you could get 4 songs in a half hour...

Welcome to adulthood. I hope you like Ibuprofen.
