That's a generalization that's overbroad. As noted, curation can have value to the end consumer and there is no reason a priori for a curator not to be paid for their service if their customers see a value in it. If anything, the volume of data the internet spews makes well done curation a more valuable service than ever.

Charlize Theron is not married. You gotta at least try.

JD Vance should drive through and ask him how long he's been working there.

Watching NFL Network and I get a kick out of them critiquing Campbell for taking the kneel downs and trusting his kicker instead of trying to gain more yards. Not that I necessarily disagree with that assessment in a vacuum just that it's funny how when he goes for it instead of kicking a FG people just automatically assume the kick was going to be good and he should've "taken the points" or "trusted his kicker" but when he shows complete faith in him instead of risking a turnover or sack they question that too.

Jeezzz...Minnesota must HATE us..lol

I love that this is full of valid reasons for pessimism.... and then a 14-point win prediction. The kind of homerism this site was made for.

I was glad to hear what Harris said about Torkelson needing to work on handling 'shapes' which I guess is 21st century GM argot for pitch recognition, as opposed to what Hinch usually said about Tork in earlier days, which was that he needed to 'hit good pitches.' If Harris has shifted the objective for Tork away from selectivity (which I think Tork was over doing) toward hitting what the pitcher throws in the zone, that is a direction where I think progress is possible.

You would be paying for the convenience of having everythng in one place such as rotoworld which used to be free and now is a pay site. Both sites do a good job, but I personally would not pay for them. The only sites I pay for are FanGraphs and Baseball Reference.

It has been frustrating waiting for Torkelson to turn into an impact hitter. I'd love to be wrong about this; but I'm not sure that it will happen. The strikeouts, pop ups and double plays are too frequent. The promise created by the 2023 season has morphed into the reality of a dismal 2024 season. If 2025 turns into a carbon copy of 2024 what are the teams options? The free agent market at first base after Pete Alonso is not impressive. Most are over 30 and long FA contracts in that age group is risky. I believe that the Polar Bear will want a long term deal at well over 200 million. I'm not sure the Tigers want to take that risk. The best option would be a huge improvement by Tork, but that is far from certain. A 2023 repeat would suffice especially with his improvement on defense. The team cannot afford a hole in the offense at first base.

When I read poll discussions among the experts it reminds me of theological debates among preachers and other kinds of clergy and researchers. They’re going on about something translated from a stone 3,000 years ago. Some have an agenda to pursue or a bias they are working from and others do not. But everyone is making some kind of subjective calculation.

Watching this Chiefs-49ers game, and the Lions are clearly the best team in the league right now.

Is this 2 game in a row no PI calls on Arnold?

Four road games against Dallas, Minnesota, Green Bay and Houston, within a 5 game span is arguably as tough of a stretch as any NFL team will face this season. The Lions have passed the first two of those four tests.

Be very very careful next week. Two very emotional games then Green Bay and Houston, don't sleep on Tennessee. Anything can happen in the NFL.

Remarkable. Best Lions team in ALL of our lives;

I did a half marathon today and one of the signs said “run like JD Vance is chasing you”

Historic run.

People putting Chiefs at #1 in the Power Rankings Uh-uh................ Lions are the best team in the NFL

Think he’ll need enough physical therapy to void his contract?

The Watson Achilles helps the Browns, not hurt them.

Terrible rule.

No kidding. Coach is awesome obviously but his ambition gets the best of him at times, that gave the Vikings a lot of unnecessary momentum to start. Regardless, big win so it's just crying over spilled milk at this point complaining about coaches decisions and you never want to go full TP.

Remember Minnesota’s kicker is amazing.

Would love to see lots of Beast Mode Ball to grind down the clock. A TD with just a couple of minutes left would put this away

I’m happily married. Otherwise, I’d give it a go.

I like this Beyoncé Levi’s commercial. I’m starting to associate it with Lions touchdowns.

I like how in these NFL commercials, like the helmet one, the include clips from the Lions now.

Campbell has a 70 PFF grade. He has been solid. It gets overlooked because the others have been so good.

Getting Gibbs, LaPorta, and Branch in the same draft is insane. Imagine if Campbell figures it out.

Branch was such a steal by Holmes

And just like that, the Lions lead.

Oh wait, you mean the season's not over ?

Ben Johnson on it now.

I’m not afraid of large free agent signings. I’m afraid of Al Avila making large free agent signings.

meh - he buying signatures, not votes. If the Democratic voters of PA are on their game, they'll provide lots of signatures and scam the scammer. Sure it's a pain to be on one more mailing list, but winning Musk's money and then giving to the other side would be worth it.

Act Blue is the general Dem fundraising site. Pelosi runs the Congressional campaign office. If you have a particular congressional race in mind, go straight to the candidate's website.

McNeil's contract has been posted, and it seems a lot more team friendly. Only $28 million is guaranteed. $55 million is guaranteed for injury. They can actually get out of this contract after 2025 if they need too.

Today will be interesting. We can't give Darnold all day. It's unlikely the Titans offensive line is much challenge for us. But then the Packers. I'd prefer to add another weapon before heading to Lambeau.

Let's practice ANNC: And the pass is incomplete, the Lions will be forced to punt TP FAN: Ben Johnson is a disgrace. Worst OC in the game. ANNC: First down Vikings TP FAN: How does Aaron Glenn have a job? He just lets teams get first downs. Has nothing to do with the other team being good, How can they continue to pay this guy if he lets the other teams get first downs?

Pete Alonso is what Tork can only hope to be. That’s his max upside. I’m not sure how he gets there with us. I think he’s one of those gotta-go-up-there-with-a-clear-head guys.

I would like to see the Tigers bring in some new players via free agency, but I would stay away from Pete Alonso, Juan Soto, Alex Bregman and Vladimir Guerrero, Jr. Scott Harris cannot make a mistake and sign a Javier Baez 2.0. Alonso and Soto are gonna want 12 year contracts and no way the Tigers should make that kind of long-term commitment.

I think polls probably work better than a bunch of message board posters blissfully thinking that Harris will win with little to back it up. They also work better than one poster who insists Trump will win because 100% of his friends love him.

Welcome to the site. They won’t be patient. He showed some promise in the playoffs and his performance at the end of the season wasn’t terrible. But that’s not good enough. He has to get better. He’s in the plans for now because that’s the only option but they won’t let him get in their way if they see an opportunity. His status as a 1:1 will not interfere at all with a decision.

He probably thinks this thread is about him.

The Nets released Killian Hayes.

This is what Darnold is in for.

I always saw Vierling's value as his versatility. You don't neglect to fill a regular spot b/c you have Vierling but you have Vierling around to fill those holes that always pop up, either through injury, slumps, or days off. 4 days a week you'll need to fill one of those.
