I'm not sure the NFL has more parity or is better. It may be more popular because the season is shorter, condensed to one day, and more conducive to fantasy leagues. They have also mastered the art of publicity. I hesitate to say better; that is in the eye of the beholder, and this beholder couldn't give two ****s about the NFL.

Its about time the Dodgers catch a break.

There it is.

I want them to lock up Tork, Greene, Keith, Jung... whoever early before they hit arb. Buy out a couple years of FA. I doubt the Tigers will be anywhere near the CBT going forward, but getting those guys under contract does reduce their AAV later, so if we do start to butt up against the tax if things start going well, their AAV is averaged with some pre-arb and early arb years and not their current year salary. As an illustrative example, Alex Bregman's current deal included three pre- free agency years and is 5/100. 11, 11, 11, 28.5, 28.5. This year he makes 28.5 million, but his CBT number is 20 million. If the rebuild goes well, every little bit may help in that regard.

The Lions will win the division and a home playoff game and Goff will be signed to a big extension.

He forgets he's not a player anymore. One thing to be competitive, another to be childish

I believe the better question is what is wrong with his fearlessly following flock of freaks?

I'm not a huge reality show fan but I really enjoyed The Squid Game Challenge. Squid Game The Challenge Cast For the Reality Competition Show - Netflix Tudum

LOL they wanted to keep Cabrera. They couldn't pay him what the Tigers and other teams were able to pay. I also bet if money was equal, Cabrera would have preferred to stay in Florida.

It's better, there are real issues with MLB that neither side seems willing to adequately address.

He's probably on the phone with Joe Barry. You let my guy go down field and win this game and maybe you don't end up hanging in a meat truck. On a side note, I can't believe 15 years later Joe Barry is still a defensive coordinator.

Freaky indeed. Turns out the night shift guy was the Great Gazoo!

Pull my finger.

With low inventory, you could sell and make a profit. I just wouldn't wait too long.

I'm sure they did. Most teams wouldn't want to push the cash flow hit into the future.

Dolphins blow a 13 pt lead at home in the final 3 minutes to a 4-8 team at home. Lions fans aren’t the only ones feeling unsettled after this weekend.

Damn, feels like a long losing streak is ahead. If both Larkin and Compher are out for an extended period of time this feels like we're going to fall to fourth in the division. Just really glad that Larkin's injury apparently isn't worse than it initially looked on ice.

I hope Seattle's playoff hopes hinge somehow on Minnesota winning and the Lions beats Minnesota to eliminate Seattle. We did them bitches a favor last year and they didn't return it.

We should have made a magic number thread weeks ago, like we had for the Tigers of yesteryear.

Tommy DeVito coming through.

**** the packers!

shouldn't be one. He should be out. Enough of this nonsense.

im very excited to see the twolves get the #1 seed and lose in the first round.

Everyone copying the Lions now.

Special teams coach told them it's like looking into a solar eclipse.

i'm ready for the JEIII article tomorrow on he this game saw real progress and that troy's vision will really come together if only the team were healthy.

Love with a couple turnovers and missing opening receivers. He can't play outdoors in the cold.

Imagine having the highest paid coach in the league and you're 2-21.

The Canadian version... From the sitcom Corner Gas...Karen or Lacey. I was always a Karen (Tara Spencer Nairn) over Lacey (Gabrielle MIller). I was always amused by the Bailey vs Jennifer argument...like Jan Smithers (Bailey) was some simple plain girl...she was a fricking model from California

OK, I am now reading the same thing. Apparently about 45 million per year goes towards the luxury tax calculation even though he doesn't get it until later. I guess I don't get to agree with KL2 anymore. 😀

Owning a house. Five months in a row now I have had a major expense in repairing something in this house. It has left me broke and I ****ing hate it. I am stuck here. I can't really sell it because it needs so much in repair that I wouldn't get anything out of it. I let someone talk me into this. I didn't want it, but they kept talking "but it's an investment". By the time it would pay me off I am going to b e 80 years old. I am alone and I don't need an upstairs which costs a fortune in heating bills, even when it's "blocked off". My friends are doing things, going places, enjoying themselves, While I am stuck here always having to fix something. It just feels pointless, a never ending spiral. I only use about 30% of this place, the rest is just filled with stuff, stuff I don't need or want anymore. If there was someone else with me, it would be manageable, but I was so much happier just paying rent and not worrying about **** CONSTANTLY.

Thr bright side is that i doubt the Wings will blow a 4-goal lead tonight.

MLB Network, I mean the whole network, is kind of a general pet peeve for me because it is so obviously and offputtingly marketing-driven, although I do like the show MLB Now, but only when Brian Kenny is on it. In fact, if he were to leave the network, I might stop watching it for any reason altogether. But my specific peeve today is any MLB Network countdown show about top plays. They have these throughout the year: Top Plays of the Week and Top Plays of the Month, and in November, it's Top Plays of the Season. I had gotten about halfway through this year's Top Plays of the Season when I simply couldn't stand to watch another second, because fully 40% of the top "plays" they show are hits, with all but one of those being a home run. And a home run is not a play. A play involves decision-making. You have to decide how to react to the action, what route you take toward the action, and the specific response you make. That's why plays, in general, are defensive in nature. You have to make a series of decisions along the way: what direction to break in, what spot you're moving toward, what you do when you get the ball, where you throw it, maybe deking the runner along the way—all that goes into what makes a defensive play a play. A play is something you make happen. That's why a home run is not a play. You don't make a home run happen, because while a play is process-oriented, a home run is an outcome. And there's not too much process you can put into a swing, since you are usually reacting to how the ball is arriving to you. But a home run swing, really, isn't even a reaction—it's a decision to swing as hard as you can on whatever the next pitch is. That's why we see every player swing as hard as he can and miss the ball entirely a lot. If the player connects with the ball just right, it'll be a hone run. But miss the ball by just a centimeter, and it's a long flyout, and nobody would ever confuse a long flyout with a top play, even though it frequently results from the exact same kind of swing a home run does. But a defensive effort that fails to get the out can still be a great play if the defender does everything exactly right and still misses the runner by just a hair. I can prove to you that a home run is not a play: when was the last time you heard an announcer say something like, "Here's the pitch to Carpenter, and there's a loooong fly ball and it's outta here! Home run! What a great play by Carpenter! He made an outstanding play on that home run swing!" Don't bother, I'll answer for you: never. It has never happened. Because a home run is not a play. 😁 But, the offputting marketing-driven machine that is MLB Network will continue to include home runs in their top plays programs, because the majority of all the on-field events they market to us are home runs, because Chicks. They're never going to change that, but it's still going to bother me every time I see it, and I will complain about it every time, which makes this the platonic ideal of a pet peeve.

i dont know what you expect dan campbell to say. he's not going to throw individuals under rhe bus right now, he's not a fan on a sports radio call in show, he's the coach of a stumbling team. he's got to build them back up, not make fans happy by saying how much they suck.

Jamie Lee Curtis apartment bathroom scene in "Trading Places".

things were not as good as it seemed when they were winning and its not as bad as it seems when theyre losing. its the nfl, its a week to week league. houston just lost to the jets by three touchdowns. the niners lost three ganes in a row. the eagles have been blown out two straight weeks. with that said, the lions were never a SB contender, imo. theyre in that happy middle, but towards the top of the middle. 10-11 wins is a good season for where they are. they still need jamo to develop into a star receiver and to get some - ANY - pass rush. this team is going to look very different next year. the okwara brothers will be gone. charles harris will be gone. tracy walker is trending to be gone. they'll need new safeties. they'll need at least one cornerback. maybe 3. and what do you do with goff? to me you dont do anything and you let goff play out next season and hope hooker develops into a viable alternative for 2025. i wouldnt sign goff long term unless hooker shows you nothing. then i would re-sign goff. how long can ragnow play with his foot injuries? do you splash for jonah jackson? how many DEs do you sign? part of me hopes they sign chase young so tater can have something to talk about for next season. 😉

They actually upgraded to Holton by letting Chafin go. AZ had to waive Holton to sign him.

I think it was when Maybin was signing.

Saw the footage of Shane's funeral today. Nick Cave with a beautiful version of A Rainy Night In Soho. Nick Cave could sing the alphabet song and make it moving, but then when they closed with Glen Hansard and friends playing Fairytale Of NY - Shane's family got up and danced in the aisle...........it was a perfect ending. My allergies may have flared up at that moment. Yeah, yeah, it was allergies.

Don’t let the door hit you on the way out. (Why even announce you’re never visiting again? Just don’t. That’s pretty pathetic. 😂)

Since we’re doing the whole escalation and exaggeration thing, this strikes me as a “suicide by cop” effort, forumwise.

I have had a yahoo account since like 2000. Somehow I got added to a group of older New York guys who talk baseball. I have never replied I just enjoy reading their stories about seeing this player or that player. I feel bad not saying anything because someone got left out way back when I got added. The same email string is 20 plus years old. A few guys have died but they keep each of their emails included in case their family check in.
