Important thread

a little something for @pfife

Weaver is awful but I guess it could always be worse.

I prefer to call them the Banana Republic Party

It means he was telling Fox News what they wanted to hear, but wanted to hedge in case he has to back pedal later.

ha, what a goof! I used to have a cat who would hang off of my recliner's arm/back like this:

could we be setting the premise for.... MALICE. ?

PS: One more answer: Because Putin has MADE them an enemy to the West, to Democracy, to the U.S., and others. Putin has specifically expressed his hatred for the United States. You know this, correct? Just asking. I can google specific quotes from Putin and provide them here if you need them. He's attacked several countries militarily, runs a fascist dictatorship in a country that is a lethal threat to everyone in the world, cyber-attacked multiple European countries and America, attacked all of our democracies through election interference and cyberattacks. Etc. Is this not clear? How much Putin HATES us? I think it should be pretty blatant at this point. Don't you agree?

Seems Putin has made that choice for us.

They pandered to ownership but Sheila rarely gets talked about when they talk about the progress and change in culture on the Lions. She never gets credit for finding Holmes and Campbell who were on no fan's radar before they were hired.

I am hoping digitalpigsmuggler is more old school Republican and less MAGA. If so, he or she could add some balance to the forum.

in the interview clip Holmes seemed to me to be thinking purely in terms of getting a backup secured and doing it a little earlier in the process than they strung it out to last year. I'd go short on early round QB draft.

2022 was the prove it year for Goff. He proved it. Well, we need another prove it year. In the meantime, we're going to draft your replacement just in case.

Very easy to ignore the thread. Don't click on it

I blocked the Idiot months ago—it doesn’t help when all of you are quoting him.

I'd be ok with that. The Founders didn't really want parties anyway (until Jefferson and Adams changed their minds). Do an open ballot all run as independents. The California Firehouse contests seem like fun to me. Make the races ranked choice. It can't be any worse than what we have. One more thing. Tax campaign contributions at 50%. Free speech has never been free anyway.

No problem. Washtenaw east of Stadium, Huron Parkway, Jackson Rd west of Wagner. All within minutes of campus....

I think I would want a vet backup if I got Richardson too. If I took either Richardson or Hooker, I think I would announce shortly thereafter that they’ll be a redshirt in 2023 behind both Goff and a veteran backup. Don’t even let the calls for putting the rookie in surface by dressing them.

Best line I've seen about this race: "Chicago police are going to have to throw away their Let's Go Brandon stickers now."

if the lions draft a qb at #6 or #18 its not to "draft a backup," its to draft a future starter. he may be a backup (or third string) this year, but its with an eye to the future. on that note, if richardson plays for ohio state or texas tech (like mahomes did) is he putting up similar numbers in those qb friendly systems? i dont know enough to know.

They may beable to cross that bridge when the time comes via trade or FA pickup but I do think they need an upgrade at backup qb if Goff were to ever go down. I'm talking about a shorter absence like 3-5 weeks not necessarily 10+ week absence cause in that case were probably screwed no matter who we had. But if it's say 5 weeks Id like to have somebody with the ability to may be win us 2 to 3 games so our division/playoff hopes don't totally go up in flames with any sorta Goff injury.

Yikes. There’s the rest of the story. Carter will probably fall, but I don’t see this Lions leadership taking him.

I think Hooker will be there in the 3rd. But I like the idea of drafting him even if he is eligible to collect Social Security when camp opens

Bottom line: maintaining complex infrastructure for safety is expensive and cuts into profits, thus reducing the number and size of yachts the executives can own. It’s the #1 reason they want to prevent government regulation.

Yep, no need to be hypothetical about it. Trump actually did forgive interest on student loans and the gop was crickets.

I still would like to know who paid of Kavanaugh's mortgages and such...

I was waiting for this post—I guess we can dream, but I’m confident he’ll be ours for the next 5 seasons.

I prefer "Field of LXVIII", but that's just me.

What does “most likely a potential” mean?’

I got an email at work at the radio station with the warning of what we are not allowed to say on the air. Not the 7 dirty words, but words trademarked by the NCAA. Unlike the NFL, where you can say Super Bowl or team names as long as you aren't promoting anything, the NCAA will go after stations that even mention the following words in passing............ • “NCAA” or any NCAA logo • “Final Four,” “Sweet Sixteen,” “Elite Eight,” etc. • “The Road to the Final Four”, “The Road to Atlanta” • “March Madness”, “March Mayhem”, “Midnight Madness” • Any team name or nickname (such as “Badgers”) • Any university logo We have to get APPROVAL to say the following......... . 68 TEAMS, ONE DREAM® And Then There Were Four® Beyond the Baseline® Champions Play Here® Champions Win Here™ College Cup® 1College World Series® CWS™ Dribble™ Eight at the Plate™ Elite 8® Elite Eight® Elite 90™ Experience It Live™ F4™ Final 4® Final Four® Final Four Friday® First Four® Four It All™ Frozen Four® History Happens Here® It's More Than Three Games® Make it Yours® March Madness® March to the Madness™ March Mayhem™ Midnight Madness® Men’s College Cup® Men’s Elite Eight® Men’s Frozen Four® National Collegiate Athletic Association® National Collegiate Championships® NCAA® NCAA After The Game® NCAA Basketball® NCAA Championships® NCAA Fast Break® NCAA Hall of Champions® NCAA Photos® NCAA Sweet 16® NCAA Sweet Sixteen® NCAA Team Works® NCAA Ticket Exchange® Next Generation Sunday® Pinnacle of Fitness® Protect the Game® Read to the Final Four® Road to the Final Four® Selection Sunday® Share The Experience™ Stagg Bowl® The Big Dance® The Final Four® The Greatest Show on Dirt® The NCAA Experience® The Pinnacle Awaits® The Road Ends Here® The Road Starts Here® The Road to Atlanta™ The Road to Frisco™ The Road to Indianapolis® The Road to Minneapolis™ The Road to New Orleans™ The Road to Omaha® The Road to Tampa Bay™ The Road to the Final Four® Women’s College Cup® 1Women’s College World Series® Women’s Elite Eight® Women’s Final 4® Women’s Final Four® Women’s Frozen Four® Are you fucking kidding me? I can't say DRIBBLE ? Our company BROADCASTS THEIR FUCKING GAMES !. The station next to mine down the hall is the FLAGSHIP for Michigan basketball and other sports, but one room over if we say Wolverines, we can get sued? A team can play a guy who helped his friend murder a single mother but I can't say DRIBBLE? I don't give a shit anymore. I don't care if Michigan goes to the Final Four, I will not talk about it EVER. Oooh, I posted Final Four in a conversation, maybe they'll sue me.

https://apple.news/AkF9v_uX_RaWdX7iEVVjb0A Matt Gaetz Shut Down By Pentagon Official For Pushing Chinese Propaganda At Hearing The Florida Republican introduced the ultranationalist Global Times tabloid during a House hearing where he argued for the U.S. to stop aiding Ukraine. (you have to see the video of this. 😂) ”Gaetz, who appeared unaware of the tabloid’s propaganda links, cited the report in claiming that the U.S. had supplied weapons to the Azov Battalion as early as 2018. Asked if he disagreed with the report, Kahl calmly responded: “I’m sorry, is this the Global Times from China?” “No, this is ...” Gaetz said before looking at the report in front of him and conceding. “Yeah, it might be. Yeah.”

i hope he comes back to finish his career as a back up on a lions super bowl winning team, getting into a key game after the starter gets hurt and leading the lions to a great victory on their way to the promised land. then he can retire and we can retire his jersey as the best qb the team ever had.

Of course for any Tigers fan, spring training is the best part of the experience. Despite losing ballgame after ballgame, we can still find comfort in insisting that it doesn't really matter.

Ammosexuals have taken to responding to tweets about gun control with only the phrase "shall not be infringed" like its a checkmate. Its no more of a checkmate than "well regulated".

She is gorgeous!

it was interesting that lowe has the pistons 1. the rockets are a mess. interesting to hear givony on killian and jabari smith and how he's down on both of them. lowe was at least a little positive on killian and they both love duren.

I honestly get where you're coming from. Especially since my Tiger fandom is relatively new. Still a Pirates fan from 1960 and '79. Both teams are nowhere near I would like them to be. At 70 with an ailment one doctor says is life defining I refuse to be bitter about baseball teams over I have no control. It's moe fun to be sarcastic than thin skinned

More truth to that than you likely realize. Back in 2018, a five year rebuild offered an opportunity that I might again see another winning Tigers team in my life time. Pushing that forward another 5 years, my ability to stand witness becomes doubtful. So yeah, I freely admit there is some bitterness involved.

Ha - well for sure tastes vary - DD's 8 DH lineups drove me slight crazy. The Tigers need to be better but DD's style is not the answer to me. His MO isn't sustainable in a mid-teir market where the money isn't infinite, otherwise he is going to mortgage away your team's future like he did here. I think of his tenure here as a period like a crack addition. It was a high, but it came with costs. I know I'm repeating myself but pro sports is all about owners lucking into hiring the right GM. Harris seems to be banking on being able to get some of the current players to do better while he puts his systems in place for finding new ones. As a general proposition that's an uphill battle, but I think he will end up being able to claim some apparent success, but not because anything he did worked on those current players, but just because some of them will regress back to their averages after having had sub average years last season. But we won't know if the player acquisition/development org he builds works for a while.

We misjudged you. You're not a stupid kid. You're an angy old man.

You realize that at this point in DD's tenure (first full season) he named Louis Pujols as manager. The guy was famous for spending non game time in his office watching the Weather Channel. Look at the Tigers 2002 starting lineup and you find such stellar players as Chris Truby, Wendell Magee, Randall Simon and Shane Halter. It took Trading Dave a couple of seasons to get to 2006-2012. Yet you're shitting on a guy who got here after the season ended. I'm also old enough to remember when fans used to accuse Mike Illitch of caring more for the Wings and Tigers and the same things your saying about Chris could have bern said about your fagher. You sound like a bandwagon jumper who only remembers the few good years.

The NFL would never kill their golden goose. To me the Fox O and O's are not the problem. The problem is the "News" division at the cable level. If companies like Comcast and Cox as well as Direct TV would make moves to delist Faux News then you would be on to something. It's better to cancel guys like Hannity and Tucker than Bart and Homer

Noel was always a throw in with the Burks deal. NY needed to clear cap space for Brunson so they shipped Burks to us for absolutely nothing (Nikola Radičević and some 2nd round picks). We basically got Burks for just taking on the Noel contract.

one of the greatest SNL bits ever, well adapted.

I don't know, gehringer_2...I felt A LOT better back when we could look forward to Mr I bringing Miggys, and V-Marts, and Prince Fielders to the roster each winter. Even with the Fielder disappointment, he served as evidence we were at least trying. Saving money while looking for the next Ronny Rodriguez IS NOT WHY I WATCH THE GAME.

good hire by atlanta. lets see if he can get trae to play team basketball. he got mitchell to do it....for a while.

Someone gave me this a long time ago - 50th birthday maybe? My all time fav..

Sometimes I use my left hand...it feels like I'm cheating.
