There's a name on Table 2 of this Tweet who hasn't been affiliated with the Tigers for 13 years now, does some broadcasting for TBS and may want to add some game calling to his mantle (even on a part time basis).

Oh, you’re the guy.

Ben Johnson has a pretty good agent.

Meh, I'm not concerned about the WJC especially after the weird covid tournament before this. Our best prospects stayed home by choice to play in men's leagues so I don't see how that is anything but a positive in the context of the WJC. Even with Sweden cutting LDN (honestly still shocked about that he was a former captain for them, their federation seems like a mess at the junior level) the Wings have a couple players in Anton Johansson and Maximilian Kilpinen who should step in for Sweden next tournament. Lets do some prospect videos for old time's sake Wallinder really has been playing in all situations, his development is very exciting I would like one or both in Detroit next season if possible.

All the players' parents have been informed that all of their kids will get to play on opening day.

Dude, you're not doing your JOB!!! Aren't you the resident Debbie Downer? And I end up having to pick up the slack?!?!

posters ask what the wings need? talent. they need talent. they signed a lot of professional veterans and they've improved the team, but they arent going anywhere unless seider/raymond/kasper/edvinnson or some other young draftees turn out to be great players. the best teams in the league make the wings look slow in a way the wings almost never do to any team. as ive lamented many times, the talent deficit in the organization was so great when kenny left, it will take a decade to dig out from under it.

Well, there are at least two of us. I always listen to the games as well. In fact, I don't own a TV anymore either.

He just can't bring himself to say he's staying. Like I've said - a total nutjob. He may be a good football coach but at some point you have to wonder how much of the garbage he brings with him is worth it?

He's from Chicago. Granderson would be a great analyst. I like Petry too, but he seems like he'd appeal more to the radio audience.

Could it also be that they think neither will get claimed but they prefer Hellberg right now?

Happy MLK Day! That the man had a dream about how little kids of all colors can play together gets repeated ad infinitum, but he also had a vision about everything else that doesn't get repeated nearly as much. Here's a reminder of that vision now. “A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death.” —A Time to Break the Silence: April 4, 1967 “The evils of capitalism are as real as the evils of militarism and racism. The problems of racial injustice and economic injustice cannot be solved without a radical redistribution of political and economic power”. —King to the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) board on March 30, 1967. “…the price that America must pay for the continued oppression of the Negro and other minority groups is the price of its own destruction.” —The American Dream: July 4, 1965 “White Americans must recognize that justice for black people cannot be achieved without radical changes in the structure of our society.” —Where Do We Go from Here? 1967 “Whites, it must frankly be said, are not putting in a similar mass effort to reeducate themselves out of their racial ignorance. It is an aspect of their sense of superiority that the white people of America believe they have so little to learn. The reality of substantial investment to assist Negroes into the twentieth century, adjusting to Negro neighbors and genuine school integration, is still a nightmare for all too many white Americans…These are the deepest causes for contemporary abrasions between the races. Loose and easy language about equality, resonant resolutions about brotherhood fall pleasantly on the ear, but for the Negro there is a credibility gap he cannot overlook. He remembers that with each modest advance the white population promptly raises the argument that the Negro has come far enough. Each step forward accents an ever-present tendency to backlash.” — Where Do We Go From Here: 1967 “We know through painful experience that freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.” —Letter from a Birmingham Jail, 1963 “Again we have deluded ourselves into believing the myth that capitalism grew and prospered out of the Protestant ethic of hard work and sacrifices. Capitalism was built on the exploitation of black slaves and continues to thrive on the exploitation of the poor, both black and white, both here and abroad.” —The Three Evils speech, 1967

With the Minnesota loss, Lions top 4 picks now are within the top 55.

Kirk's watch is fast

As a reminder…

Sure did. I thought it first!! 😉

https://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/documents/letter-president-eisenhower-upon-signing-bill-restoring-his-military-rank he was restored to “active duty”. A technicality as he had no authority. Just an ego boosting ego thing.

Who is "Calico Joe" and why should we care what he has to say about the Matt Vierling versus Victor Reyes?

if anything, that list shows just how overrated being on the world juniors teams can be.

From the Apollo 10 transcripts. this flight was a full dress rehearsal for the first moon landing. Young and Cernan late commanded lunar missions and Cernan holds the distinction of being the last man to walk on the moon Young flew the first space shuttle mission along with another. Combined those with his two Gemini and two Apollo missions, plus the launch from the lunar surface, he holds the record for most blast offs (seven). I suspect he’s the culprit for this blast off. Tom Stafford: "Oh... who did it?" John Young: "Who did what?" Eugene Cernan: "Where did that come from!?" Tom Stafford: "Give me a napkin quick, there's a turd floating through the air"

Freeze your credit. Each agency lets you freeze your credit profile. At that point nobody can check your credit score or open new accounts in your name. If you need to apply for a new credit card or loan, simply go to the websites and unfreeze your account, let them do their check, and freeze it again. Gives you peace of mind. If you have young kids I would also recommend you freeze their account as well. You don't want them turning 18 and finding out someone stole their identity 12 years ago and have been running wild with their credit.

See, that's what I thought, too.
