Franky anybody who claims to love America cannot be a Trump voter because his ideals and way he ruled run counter to what America stood for. Like his policies all you want and I don’t give a **** whether you served in the military or not. It’s a direct conflict. You can pick which flag to wear, the American flag or the Trump flag. But if you have both they don’t line up. Just like the confederate flag.

Trans Lions Fans are Lions Fans.

Dan Miller’s call of the final kick. I inadvertently cut it off right before Dan said “you ask the Lions to set the bar, the Lions say how high” Bates FG Beats Texans.m4a

I won't panic either way. They could lose 49-7 and they'll still likely finish 13-4 or better

Very boot strappy isn’t it?

Ah so we are back to borrowing money from China to subsidize farmers not selling to China. One of my favorite eras of the first time trump was presidon't

I just wanted to see the guy who I strongly believe attempted a coup against the United States of America be put on trial. Now, we'll never know for sure and that's a really bad thing for the health of our republic.

Elon has accepted partial payment for helping with the election. Tesla is up 38% since election day. I bet Elon/Twitter buys Truth Social for an inflated price about 6-18 months after the Trump presidency ends. Then everyone will have received payment for their part. Election laws be damned.

Bluesky appears to be a pretty good place to be.

My Granddad would tell me how they would chant "Frank-ie Sink-which (clap clap clap clap clap)" at Tigers games and road games back in the day

This team is unbelievable. That's all I've got to say, this was the type of win that Championship teams pull out and only championship level teams.

And the middle of the game. And the end of the game. 😉

Man, how many games… or dozens of games… have we seen the Lions lose like that over the years? It is good to win one. Kudos to AG. This defense kept the team in it.

Nope. Drinks are on Hongbit.

Mike Tomlin has to be a top 10 coach in NFL history. His teams just keep winning...

The fact that the absolute best case scenario for a third party vote in this country (ie. winning a few states) is that it would lead to the election being thrown to the House and the winner of being picked by state House delegation vote is a big reason I, personally, just can't do it. Other people believe differently, and I understand it and respect it. But personally just couldn't do it... Until something epochal happens to our party system, I'll be choosing the least bad choice.

I live near Greenfield Village. Every year they do Holiday Nights for a few weeks, which ends in a fireworks show. Every night on our neighborhood FB page someone asks if anybody hears loud booms or gunshots.

Pharmacy drive thru should be for pickups. Not other business. Take that **** inside you lazy bum.

It’s to create a peasant class to do all the work of the migrants. Educated people are costly.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but he seems like the type of person who swoops into companies just to get their products, and has little or no understanding of how to build a line of products from beginning to end.

So, apparently Trump has officially announced that he is going to eliminate the Department of Education. It's not surprising that a President who can't read or speak beyond a third grade level would want to eliminate a department with the word "education" in it.

Since I love my country, I don't move on from coup attempts.

Okay, yeah, technically it'll be a neutral field... but if the Lions make the SB I expect it to be the most lopsided crowd in a long time. First, I suspect there will be a LOT of Lions fans who put up the big bucks to go. How many years have we been waiting? Second, I suspect the Lions would be the preferred rooting interest of most of the fans of the other 30 teams that aren't there.

the approach was mostly wrong. If you want to slow the flow, the people coming need to understand they can't stay, not that it's harder to get across - there will always be ways to get across. And in fact we have little problem interdicting people who do cross, it has been that the process after they are interdicted is broken. The dems sort of went along with theoretical discussion that border 'security' was the problem because they didn't want to face changing the asylum system because it's a progressive marker. If you could close the border tight enough, you wouldn't have to face that the asylum system was broken. But 'sealing' the border is an illusion. You can't apprehend a crosser until they are in the US and as soon as they cross the line they can avoid being returned. That is where the bigger part of the problem has been for a long time now. And this doesn't even touch on the fact that small business owners (largely GOP) don't want stricter employment enforcement either. A dirty little economic secret is that the large number of undocumenteds in the workforce creates a constant downward pressure on entry level wages across the economy and that's just peachy with the Chamber of Commerce.

Lol at this idiotic post, the SOL part in particular

Great news. Well, if that Tweet worked you would see Thompson has been cleared to return by the leagues panel. https://x.com/ShamsCharania/status/1855977710549410120

It's kinda funny... because I wasn't even really angry that we were losing. I mean I wasn't happy and it wasn't that I thought we'd come back and win... It was just: "Meh... bad games happen." I heard this said about baseball but honestly it applies to all sports I think: It's the fans of the mediocre teams that are most invested in the wins and losses. Fans of a bad team assume losses will happen and if they win: "Well, that's nice, but that isn't like we're all of a sudden good." Fans of a good team assume a win, but if they lose: "Well, bad games happen. We'll get back on the winning side next game." It's just the people in the middle who feel the outcome of the game is defining if their team is good or bad because it matters each game. I'm not saying this to try to trash on those fans who are like that of middle of the road teams. Lord knows I've been that fan many, many times. No, the reason I'm saying this is that I 100% felts like a fan of a good team last night. I certainly wasn't happy that the Lions were getting their butt whopped, but I never thought: "There goes the season... our team sucks." It's amazing how far we've come in 4 years.

No, no, that's when it's perfect for sleeping.

Going back to the Texans’ situation with just under 2 minutes to go. 5 possible outcomes: A) - successful FG, lead by 3, give Lions ball back around Lions 30 yard line (after kickoff) with around 1:50 to go B) miss FG, tied, give Lions ball back at the Lions 48 yard line with 1:51 to go C) successful going for it on 4th and 4, tied, possess the ball with a 1st down at the Lions 35 yard line or closer D) - fail going for it on 4th and 4, tied, give Lions ball back around the Lions 40 with around 1:50 to go E) - punt, tied, give the Lions the ball back at, say, around the Lions 10-20 yard line with around 1:50 to go I think choosing C/D might have been the highest percentage play for the Texans over choosing A/B Why? I wonder what the stats would show are the odds of hitting a 58 yarder (factoring the Texans kicker’s strong leg) vs converting on 4th. Probably a bit under 50/50, maybe 40% for both? Missing the FG or being stopped on 4th down would be roughly equally bad. But would it be better to be successful on that FG or successful on the 4th and 4? The FG would have put the Texans ahead but the Lions would have the ball with plenty of time. Converting the 4th down would have kept the game tied, but the Texans would have a fresh set of downs closer to a reasonable FG range, with 3 downs to move it closer and/or run time off the clock and/or get the Lions to burn timeouts.

Well, except for Jake Bates, who says "how far to the side".

Well, I meant Bert...

OMG...I'm glad there were no stray shots! That would shake anybody up. Glad you're OK!

Thank God. I needed this tonight.

WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

Everyone was complaining that he was too close to the right upright, so... ya know... he corrected that.

Only if you rub both uprights…😂

This team, this ****ing team. It touched the wind sock...............it freaking touched the wind sock That's how close it was !

BATES, BABY !!! 8-1

Heroic defensive effort in the 2nd half.

Did not look like he got the first there

Upton, prince, damon...

No team has ever been this poorly prepared for a game. Ever.

SAME OLE LIONS. coaches come crashing down to earth. They gave up. They absolutely gave up. 2 mins and a chance to go score and they ****ing quit. Just ****ing quit. Quitters.

100% the OL. Everything is starting from there

Sit your pass rusher when we're at home against a weak team next week. 3 and 16 complete pass for a 1st down with no pass rush. Color me confused.

Jared Goff's interview with Jason Garrett on SNF endears me even more to Goff if that's even possible.

WTF Was Holland doing? You could see that charge coming from midcourt.

Political environment... Not just in the US, it has been toxic worldwide for incumbent parties
