Deport him. Can't have immigrants over here criming.

Folks just a general warning here: We're straying very close to a political issue here re: How the cops handled Jamo. I don't think anyone has cross over the political line, but we're all (myself included) inching up to it. I mean it's kinda hard not to given this situation. BUT: There is a reason we have a political forum area and there's a reason we keep politics in that area. Let's try to keep the discussion on the Jamo/Lions aspect of this as much as possible and be ultra-polite with each other when we do touch on the "other" stuff.

I feel bad for ever criticizing AJ after watching Aaron Boone manage.

Trump is coming to Warren. Maybe I'll show up with a garbage can.

I unfollowed Jed because he posted too much stupid stuff on Twitter. He is nothing like BST at all. BST was witty. He also never posted in the Tigers forum and JED rambles about the Tigers constantly. Not the same person.

To be fair, I enjoy seeing Aaron Rodgers in misery.

I adored Teri Garr. There is a Martin Scorsese comedy (yeah, I know), and it's a DARK comedy (it's Scorsese) from 1985 called After Hours. There are some serious laugh out loud moments in it and Teri has a very small but very memorable part in the movie as a Monkees-obsessed waitress. The part had to have been written for her. It's perfect. It's a slow-burn of a movie but it has plenty of little payoffs throughout. I highly recommend it. If you liked The King Of Comedy, you'll love this. Same kind of tone and New York is a character in the movie too. There's even a Cheech & Chong cameo. Cheech & Chong in a Scorsese pic, what's not to love?

She should be locked in the same holding cell as Biden for the next 5 days.

My impression based on everything I have read about Bregman suggests he would be a great Hinch fit. The concern about him is a potential prohibitive contract length.

Thankfully, no one in my immediate family…. There seems to be at least one in-law relative that drank GALLONS of the Kool-Aid. And, now I have come across some acquaintances, not really “friends”, but were people that I’d definitely had partied &/or worked with… they’ve gone down the rabbit hole. It’s sad to me. I am sure this is a game-changer for me going forward.

It actually packed quite a few big moments into a 5-game series

the number of the counts is 3, and three shall be the number of the count. Neither shall it be 2. 4 is right out.

Pistons could sneak into the play in game. As long as the other team sits their two best players every game.

You can tell how far the Lions have come since proclaiming to be a Lions player was more likely to get you arrested before the Campbell era.

I think the only thing I can say with some certainty is that the voting numbers are, for sure, Going to be higher than they were in 2020. Some part of me says substantially higher. And, my gut feeling is just that this plays better for the Harris side of the equation. We’ll see.

my comment had nothing to do with Winfrey. It was more of a response to the tweet about Georgia surpassing numbers "at this point" in 2020. I don't understand why that's newsworthy.

Last year's team loses this game. I lost count of how many we lost against teams without their best player(s) that we "should" have won last year. Stew really was the biggest difference maker in this game on the defensive end. There was a lot of buzz about how the defense is 20 pts better when he's on the court prior to this game and I'm sure that number only improved. The offense has been an issue because he's not good on the roll (stone hands), but JB mentioned before the game that it was his fault and he needs to find a way to get Stew more 3's. JB Also mentioned after the game that if Stew keeps this up, he's going to have to adjust the big man rotation to give him more minutes. I'm happy to hear that...but what does that say about Duren? With all of Weaver's investment in Centers, could it be that we still don't actually have a true starter on the roster? It's nice to see the Ivey that I was so excited about when we drafted him. Monty was a basketball terrorist. Ivey is even showing some nice defensive moments here and there. There was a stretch in the 3rd where he was absolutely wearing Maxey's jersey. We've seen him be streaky before, but hopefully his play can be sustained throughout the year. Tobias and THJ carried them offensively in the 4th. Something that was sorely missing last year and it's the reason you get vets around your youngsters. Harris has had a rough start to the season and even this game, but he put in 18pts and 14 rebs last night, which was nice to see. I know everyone's waiting for THJ to go into a slump to say, "I told you so", so I'm just going to give him his flower now because he's playing pretty well to start the season. I doubt we beat the Knicks, but then you have the Nets, Lakers, Hornets, and Hawks coming up. Could win 2 or 3 of those.

early vote numbers don't tell me much, by themselves, at this point because it just means people are more used to it and maybe voting centers are better at doing it and word gets around how easy it is. In 2020 early voting was politicized to a degree it's not today. Yea some R's still grumble about it but they're doing it more than they did in 2020. You also have the covid angle where the macho/dont tell me what to do/masking is for wimps crowd thinking EV was once again something overly cautious sheep did and real men vote on election day. Obviously turnout could be higher this year, it wouldn't shock me and I expect it, but it's not the early vote numbers that is proving that to me that right now. I don't see it as evidence of anything yet.

Put a democrat in charge of the Lions and they suddenly become a well run organization.

Yeah, I get it. An old and washed up QB who lucked into a single championship years ago is the only draw. Rodgers has a lot of big stats but very little success teamwise. Most of the country wants to see him scowl...

So....I'm not the only one rooting against him...🤣🤣🤣

Yes, Ian. Miss him.

Ok, I recall that BST was a fan of the term "loonspuddery" which was amusing.

Right. BST pretty much used to say an American wouldn’t recognize a real socialist if one walked up and bit him.

The NFL will never learn that outside of the Cowboys and maybe now the Chiefs the team or market you put in prime time has little to no effect on ratings, instead what drives ratings is the actual quality of the teams, importance of the games and just how close the games are. So by putting crappy NY teams in prime time is only hurting their ratings, not helping.

As you said, at some point being sorry rings hollow if you continue to screw up. I'm sure Brad and Dan are willing to let this one slide but Jamo has to be a on a one more strike and you're out count by now.

I recently had a small back and forth on Facebook with a former co-worker after she posted that the government created and sent the hurricane to North Carolina so they could steal the land and the lithium. She was all upset two years ago when Roe was overturned and is now all MAGA conspiracy head. It’s impossible to debate a conspiracy theorist because they aren’t dealing with any real world logic. It’s really sad how off the deep end so many have gone.

The Dodgers should vote Cole a full share of the championship money after last night. If Commissioner Landis had seen that Cole would never wear a MLB uniform again.

I'd be wary of adding a lot of position player veterans unless those veterans were good cultural fits. You can't help but notice that Javy Baez leaving the dugout signaled immediately the surge. Is Alex Bregman that fit? I dunno. Spencer Torkelson would be a cultural fit if he could hit his weight. Will that happen? I dunno. The formula of the '84 Tigers to create a core of young players who all come up together and add via trade (Chet Lemon) and FA (Darrell Evans) those extra pieces seems more robust for our market than the 2006-2013 model of building via the checkbook and trading for pieces from the bottom of the woodpile because only a Dave Dombrowski can do that if he's backed by a hefty Mike Illitch checkbook and Scott Boros is on speed dial.

It did. For the Dodgers to win in 5 games and Ohtani not even being a factor just shows how bad the Yankees played. No way they should have lost game 5. Giving the Dodgers 6 outs in the 5th inning was their undoing. And there's already Dodger championship hats for sale...jeez

You know, taking a side in this dispute is sort of like taking a side in a marital dispute and you don’t really know either of the two parties very well. At least it’s like that for me. It is encouraging to see two other great teams do dumb stuff though. I don’t really follow other teams that much so this might allow me to be less discouraged by my own club when they do dumb stuff since it’s obvious that other clubs do the same thing.

The Dodgers have now walked nine Yankees. That’s right nine. I’m amazed they’re still in this game.

Yankees really don't deserve to win.

Got really shelled twice in the playoffs. Plus the back issues. Pitched well in LA, but sorry of came back to earth a bit. What do you think he gets? I'm going to guess 3/60

After 2 outs in the bottom of the fifth Vesia loads the bases. It’s nice to see other people’s teams do frustrating stuff.

So after Cole’s blunder at first base I wonder if the national media is going to scold the Yankees for their “pitcher fielding” foibles as I recall we were scolded in 2006. Or if “the pinstripes” allure will frighten them from taking things that far…

I was gone for 10 minutes! So 2 errors, really 3 errors, from what I gather? Slow grounder to 1st would have got the Yankees out of the inning at 5-0 but Cole didn’t cover the bag.

Are you aware of the context of her mentioning the bear? I think it was about a year ago this big discussion hit the internet. If you were hiking in the woods would you rather encounter a man or a bear? Men said a man. Most women immediately said a bear. I think its easier to understand as a man if you ask them who would you rather have your wife or daughter encounter?

All the time.

Manfred’s going to make it go $even game$ 😉

Um, I'll choose the bear in the forest, if you don't mind.

Trading Maata shows the Yzerplan has failed. His version of the Verlander trade. We got robbed. It's over. The Wings need to fire Yzerman and convince the Lions to fire Ben Johnson and Aaron Glenn.

I understand the William Ligues père et fils were interviewed about the two Yankee fans who tried to rip Mookie Betts’ arm off last night and were quoted as saying they were “amateurs”.

If Liranzo and Briceno continue to develop along the same path we could possibly have two star c-1b and that could be particularly valuable. Not sure if anyone has had two regulars equally share the catching duties before. Starting catchers these days such as Contreras and Rutschman get in about 110-120 games games behind the plate and DH another 30-35 games if they can hit. If Liranzo and Briceno each get about 80 games behind the plate and roughly the same at 1b, they both could get in full seasons at the plate and prolong their catching careers. And the team frees up a roster spot because there is no reserve catcher sitting on the bench. That spot can go to a player with a more useful skill set.
