Should have the Marlboro logo.

Leyland’s HOF plaque will have no logo. no surprise and the right move.

ESPN rated our farm system #3 and Baseball America had it at 5. There are many positives brought on by lesser-known prospects coming into their own which I am guessing is part of the jump.

I believe Glenn is being lauded mostly as a "leader of men", "future head coach", "coaches the guys up brilliantly", and not so much as an X's and O's genius. But still... I am seeing him adapt to the Lions defense's weaknesses, in my opinion, quite brilliantly.

There’s absolutely a way. As High Schoolers, Dejean was the Iowa state 100m champ with a time of 11.16. Sauce ran 11.50 as his PR at Detroit King.

I don't want to see Biden go down this route either for the sake of decorum, but 1) I don't think it would turn off any of his current voters and 2) It would directly speak to and get the attention of Trump leaning voters. It's always annoyed me that it's the folks with '**** Joe Biden' stickers on their cars that are at the library meetings screaming about watching out for the kids and making sure they don't read inappropriate things.

One possible view would be that that Iraq and Syria are of more immediate strategic importance to Iran than Yemen and also that there are actors on the ground in a position to take advantage if Iranian forces are weakened. Also, the Houthi ability to make trouble ends whenever Iran stops supplying them, so we don't have to hit them directly to get that part of the result.

I'm guessing if they take Porter they don't take Branch.

Can't wait to see what kind of gold nuggies the Villan walks away with.

President Biden is, you know, ACTUALLY doing a good job:

By trading for him now, they will at least get a draft pick if he leaves. (He would obviously get a qualifying offer)

FWIW, David Axe in Forbes claiming that Ukrainian effectively controls the western Black Sea and grain exports have reached pre-war levels. https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidaxe/2024/02/01/a-pod-of-ukraines-explosive-drone-boats-just-chased-down-and-blew-up-a-russian-missile-corvette/?sh=36d311f95b0c

I doubt it, I mean Javy has been here two years now and Mayer hasnt even gotten to AAA yet. The timelines simply don't match up.

Well, since we're ALL Motown Morons... We're all in the same boat anyways... Hopefully it doesn't sink... 😉

You said there is no way that Cooper Dejean is faster than Sauce Gardner. My comparison shows you are wrong and it is very possible.

Pizza makers that leave a lot of crust. I don't get it. Who wants to be left holding a hard piece of bread? I understand you want to leave some bit of a crust to hold on to. But some places go too far. What is your limit? For me it's under an inch. About as much as my fingertips can touch without getting stuff on them.

As G2 pointed out... The stupidity of Trump's tariff's is that they were unreliable. He changed them on a whim. If there is no method, there is no reliability. The tariffs themselves may or may not make sense. But to throw them up capriciously, as Trump did, inspires ZERO confidence, as G2 pointed out, for a business to make business decisions based on... capriciousness? The immediate after-effect of Trump's tariffs on China, as an example, did NOT "bring back American manufacturing jobs". In fact, the IMMEDIATE after-effect of Trump's China tariffs was that China shut the door on American soybeans and other products. American, midwestern, farmers were CRUSHED by the blowback to Trump's China tariffs. Do you remember this? It gets more complicated than that. China was losing manufacturing jobs PRIOR to Trump's tariffs. They were losing those jobs because Chinese wages had finally come up enough that they were no longer the most competitive (read: lowest wages) manufacturer in the world. They were losing these manufacturing jobs to Southeast Asia. Vietnam, Thailand, etc... If Trump wasn't such a ****ing MORON, he would have passed TPP instead of killing it. Which would have lowered American tariffs for these southeastern countries, enforced American intellectual property rights (Chinese knockoffs would be forced out of these countries, increasing American goods sold), enforced American environmental and labor standards (not exactly, more like "minimums", but still...), and SPED UP the flight of cheap manufacturing jobs out of China. A year later, Trump BEGGED to get back into TPP and was told "no dice". He ****ed that up, bigly. Why is Biden now NOT eliminating all of Trump's tariff's? Because now that they are in place, you don't remove them CAPRICIOUSLY, as Trump did throwing them up. You NEGOTIATE to get them back down. As any NORMAL politician would. And if China is not changing its predatory practices... then there's no reason to just give them back up. I have no problem with Biden NEGOTIATING with China to bring those tariff's back down, and if China refuses to change practices, then refuse to change tariff's. It's not that difficult to understand.

Echoes of MIguy…🤔

Its one of the competitive balance round picks that is being traded. Those are fair game for trades.

The Big Wheel was signing autographs last weekend

cause he's white so no one thinks he is fast enough to play corner.

Forget the Swift/Kelce drama. Patrick Stewart singing along with Creed has the early lead in Super Bowl commercials

Isreal is 100% still in the right here. Hamas started this war and are continuing to fuel it.

Hamas has already radicalized the entirety of Gaza to murder Israelis. Even the UN agency was infiltrated, and PARTICIPATED, in the kidnapping of Israeli's. The easy answer to stopping ALL of this is the same as it was two months ago: The Unconditional Surrender of Hamas.

Thread: Worth reading in its entirety, but the upshot being that the Trump campaign is likely to have a lot of money issues in 2024. Particularly with all the legal bills that Trump himself is facing

I'm just thrilled that it's the very end of January before we even starting looking at draft stuff.

Ahh, to be young again.

I play volleyball a couple of times a week and put together a playlist of songs with a high BPM to keep the energy level going. I included "Subdivisions" by Rush and, about twenty seconds into the song, a woman in her 30's asked if it was the theme to Chips.

She’s probably only 55.

From today's Bullwerk some interesting history on the 14th Amendment.... this is from a brief filed by Akil and Vikram Amar in the Trump 14th Amendment case... https://open.substack.com/pub/thebulwark/p/the-14th-amendment-wasnt-a-creative?r=45wcm&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email

It sucks we’re not starting this thread 2 weeks from now.

I see. They should just let them trade any pick. Look how it has helped the Pistons.
