He's not actually confused. He knows exactly what you're talking about. He's trying to wield the confusey face as a weapon in an lame effort to delegitimize the truth of what you're posting. But what he probably doesn't realize is that by posting only a confusey face, he's tacitly acknowledging that what you've posted is actually true. Otherwise, if he firmly believed it wasn't true, he could easily refute it with words demonstrating the untruth of it. But he can't, so ... instead.

What...we won?!! I was watching on my phone in bed and shut it down right after the "goal" What a pleasant surprise!

Quoting to emphasize this. 👍🏻

I love this response. The way he reframes and answers the question. More reps need to do this

Saw a clip from ESPN where Ryan Clark said college players want to be drafted by the Lions because they develop and pay their players. It wasn’t that long ago when Nick Fairley was on stage after being drafted by the Lions and looked like that was the last place he wanted to be.

"Windows" are different in the NFL than they are in other sports. It's not like we have a rotation of aces and a lineup of bats that will need to be locked up on decade-long contracts that will either (a) cripple the team in seven years with mediocre performance we can't afford to cut or (b) cripple the team with replacement level players when they are all traded. In the NFL, it's all about winning 10-11+ games and being hot enough in January to win 3-4 in a row. A lot of that is talent, absolutely. But a lot of it is also just health and cohesion and everything working in synch at the right time. I think it's something this year's team understands on a fundamental level, and it's why a guy like Decker is taking an extra game off against an opponent like the Chiefs. I bet you he plays on Thanksgiving against the Packers. For as fun a run as 2023 was, I think 2022 could have been special in its own right if the refs didn't bungle the ending of the Seahawks-Rams game. That team was hot and they weren't going to just roll over against the 49ers in the wildcard round. Likewise, the Rams were hot in 2023 when they came into Ford Field. If a couple 4th downs went their way and they squeezed by us, it wouldn't have surprised me to see them go the distance as a 6-seed. As a final example, the Commanders were probably the least talented team on the NFC side last season. But they caught the Bucs on a walk-off field goal and then the defensively depleted Lions flat footed. Just like that, a game away from the Super Bowl. Football is just different. We can ride this wave a long time if the front office does it right, which they are.

We should probably remember if the Tigers were to trade Skubal, they could kiss Bichette or Bregman or Tucker or Cease or just about any other halfway decent free agent goodbye. There’s no way any good player is going to want to come to a team that’s just traded their two-time Cy-Young-winning bird in the hand for two in the bush, and they are not making any decision to come to Detroit before they know that bird is definitely staying here. And this doesn’t even take into account the effect such a trade by a team that’s on a two-time LDS run would have on the rest of the guys who are already here, as well as the guys who are due to come up. Who’s going to gladly bust their ass for a team that purposely trades their way out of playoff contention? Skubal ain’t going anywhere. We’re building around him for next season.

A lot of experts and even just friends think this is their best year to win a superbowl. I personally think it all depends on the health of the team. I think that goes for all the top NFL teams. If we can prevent from any serious season ending injuries than I truly think we are the favorite this year. I think the Lions window is the next 3-4 years. For future years the biggest question will be who will be adding depth and eventually replace Decker. I think that will be a big focus in the draft next year. The other question will be can they resign all their 2023 draft picks. I actually think they can with some maneuvering. You can do that when you sign your own draft picks instead of overpaying in free agency and trade deadlines. That is why I don't think they are going to make a big splash at the trade deadline (unless a major injury happens on sun). They can use extra cap space next year which will help with resigning the 2023 guys. I expect them to trade for some depth. Their trade deadline will be getting injured players back.

Facts really bother MAGA. No wonder they want to stop teaching history and burn books;

He's safe.

With respect to position players - I pray that the Tigers do not sign a long-term FA. This team came within a base hit of beating Seattle. Nearly every player seems to be on the upwards path of their career trajectory. Do not throw into the mix a long-term contract with a player on their downside path. It seems to me that most long-term signings eventually become regrettable. We are lucky that Javy was flexible and contributed in a number of ways this year. Even then, every long-term signing going back to Miggy has been regrettable, some ludicrously bad. With so much talent coming through the pipeline, I'd like to see every position made available to the home grown talent. Maybe make a few commitments ala Colt Keith to some of the sure thing standouts.

Jake is a pretty ideal backup catcher. I suppose if they think his bat is totally toast then maybe he's too expensive but they could do a lot worse.

Obvious alternate reading of "The new communication system is designed to improve game flow and enhance officiating accuracy" : "The new communication system will put officiating into direct contact with live odds data flow to enhance game flow for optimal outcomes" ...just sayin'

Nobody I know wants to go to any event run there because he is involved. It was perhaps a little run down before but I saw the stage version of Life of Pii there prior to him taking over last year and it was very well-attended.

"very fine entertainment". Remember, this is the guy that lost money running a Casino.

So you're suppoering the GOP coverup for pedos and trump isnt even the pedo theyre covering for? Wow. Have you considered reconsidering?

Its nice that there are still a few people willing to do the right thing for the people instead of following a political party that just want power no matter how they have to get it.

Unless Hutch is a Suh type of player, then he gets fat and lazy, stops caring about football, and is happy just to get paid. I kid, I kid. I think Hutch is going to be more motivated now that he has gotten his big pay day and is financially secure for the prime of his career. I also look for him to have a big day against a terrible Minnesota offensive line and essentially a rookie QB who will be running for his life out there.

Maybe Kasper's first was a high stick but I think it was the right call to go with what was on the ice, I didn't think the replays were conclusive either way because of him slapping down his stick to make contact. To me if it could go either way you go with the call on the ice. I highly doubt the NHL has a conspiracy to make the Wings win a regular season game against a Western team in October.

Lol at you characterizing your poasts as thought and fun

Class is out, gaudy is in. Trump's pimp grandpa would be so proud.

I have supported Jeffries for speaker. I don’t know what the **** you are talking about.

Per Harris: “I hope that I've demonstrated here that we're focused on winning baseball games and trying to win a World Series, not winters or deadlines,” Harris said earlier this month. “Sometimes that means that we're going to go into a winter and we're going to chase the flashiest name, and we're going to offer a lot of money. And sometimes that means we're going to go into a winter and focus on more targeted needs. I don't know exactly what this winter is going to be.” I don’t think I actually believe he’s uncertain about what he wants to do except for the goal of winning the World Series. But of course he’s not going to be open about it.

Their OL has been atrocious. I’m not sure what can happen to fix this especially on the road at Ford Field.

who did this

No, but we are overdue for someone to announce that we control our own destiny.™

Thanks. We are staying with friends. Their son plays soccer for Carnegie Mellon so they’ve been coming here for 3 years. They just rent a place for 3 months and come out every weekend. It’s such a cool city. I had no idea. It also nice to just be along for the ride. A jazz club last night featuring a drummer who had a display at the museum yesterday. l

He is the only one thinkig for himself and the people he represents.

He'll have a response once Putin tells him what to say.

The Ref screwed the Kings last night. That Kasper goal should not have counted, the stick was high. And I don't think the Kings player really interfered with the goalie in OT. Scripted.

What a stupid way to lose win a game.

“Prospect Report”

A few minutes ago, I did a quick search of “Skubal” and according to THE TIMES OF INDIA the Atlanta Braves are devising a trade to get Skubal, but they’re not offering anything in return. Probably a bad deal.

I think Rogers will be kept. You need to have a proven catch and throw guy as back-up catcher. Rogers can't hit, but Nido's track record as a hitter is no better.

MAGA is already blaming democrats for the huge price increase in their Healthcare. They say the shutdown doesn't allow them to negotiate. Facts? The democrats refused to pass the temporary bill to run the government because of the upcoming health care cost increase. There isnt any misinformation that MAGA wont try. Make 100 lies and a few may get thru.

That was it for me. ETTD.

Retained.

Using that math, $2.43M for a season of Bregman would yield 162 wins. This might be the new market inefficiency to explore. Stay tuned.....

Yes, they could, and be assured that they will, eventually. But first, they will use this as an opportunity to delegitimatize the Democratic Party and hurt as many people as they possibly can with this tool until it has outlived its usefulness. Once it has, they can set it aside, do what you suggest, and then ratchet up the war on 60% of all Americans with something even more horrific than this.

The Tigers played .636 ball in games in which appeared this year. That's a 103-win pace. Things like that don't happen by accident.

I don't know if you can lose what you never really had. Teamsters have leaned GOP since Nixon.

Players who say God was on their side when they accomplish something doesn't make much sense. How about when they fail? Did their God ignore their needs? How about the other team/players? Was their god punishing them? And don't ever think about the American civil war....both sides claimed God was on their side. That didn't seem to work out too well for the Confederate side. God must hate racists. No hope for them. And then lets talk about these MAGA Christians. Look at their behavior. Deporting people in need. Denying school kids breakfast and lunches. Putting people in cages after seperating them from their families. Taking away millions of people's Healthcare. Taking food stamps away from the needy. And many, many more of their actions that make these Christians appear to be phony liars. Tell them that Jesus was woke and see their reaction. The hatred these people exhibit is a sure sign that they are in fact, not real Christians. They're just in a cult. The MAGA cult. And never forget, not all Republicans are racists but ALL racists are MAGA republicans.

That’s the Republican health plan… Am I right? 😂

And he didn't even include Jung!

Maybe they are tan...never mind. Joe traded their pick away unprotected. 0-4 to start the year.
