This is where we are at: The kids who had their parents murdered in a politically motivated attack having to ask a President of the United States to take down disinformation and conspiracy theories that he pushed on his social media website. Shameful stuff.

The reality is that the push by the administration to open up further drilling and to disincentivize the use of green energy doesn't change the fundamental economics. And it will not stop the long term growth of green sources of energy domestically relative to fossil fuels. The only thing additional I would say is that, in a time when this administration is pushing the development of AI (and all the energy it will require), it's insane to disincentivize *any* source of energy development. But these are not serious people... And we will all have to pay the price for it in our power bills

Or when a hostage reads a prepared statement over the air.

For what exactly? For this: To capture the news cycle for a couple of days. That's it, and all of it. Nothing Trump does is focused on *accomplishment*, rather strictly on the appearance of accomplishment. This is reality TV government: Invent a story line, generate a lot of noise and smoke, charge up emotions, run in a lot of circles, break a bunch of china, and at the end of the day....nothing real has happened. Stay tuned for the next episode of 'Real Presidents of DC!" As noted, the Vz government is still there, no fundamental change but suddenly there will be no crisis between the US and Vz, because there never was in the first place - it was just more noise being generated by Trump on his way to his next media presentation episode. You grabbed a tin pot and put him in jail at the cost of several billion in ordinance - oh and BTW, there was some 'collateral damage' on the gound. Well, no-one we knew and BFD about Maduro. Just like nothing has changed in Ukraine and nothing has changed for the Palestinians or Israelis after he heroically 'solved' all their problems. Argue with China, settle with China, argue with China, US industrial production is still being displaced and farmers are only worse off. 6 months of headlines from DOGE, hire back most of the workers and the government is hemorrhaging more money than ever. Trump runs around, makes a lot of noise, makes a lot of pronouncements about actions, then, Cut! He's on to the next sound stage and nothing has actually been accomplished. The actors who were on the set before he got there are left to sort it out for themselves just like they were before he got there You only know he's been there by the bill he leaves for his expenses.

Lions have four straight winning seasons. First time in over 50 years.

That's terrible news to hear. Pat hasn't been on 97.1 The Ticket as much lately and this explains why I guess. Pat has been an institution in Detroit sports media and radio for nearly 30 years going back to WDFN and Team 1270. I know a full recovery isn't very likely with that type of cancer diagnosis, but my thoughts go out to Pat and his family and I hope he fights and pulls through.

On a side note, with the win Dan Campbell has passed Buddy Parker to become the 4th winningest coach (by number of wins) in Lions history:

that's how cults operate.

You probably celebrate it as a positive when a domestic abuse survivor tries to apologize.

I'm glad we won today given that draft position doesn't really matter at this point and we still get a 4th place schedule as it is. I'm still pissed about the fact that we will have a winning record, while a team with a losing record will be in the playoffs.

I'm just messing with you 🙂

The Lions play the Cardinals and Giants next year and the Bears play the Seahawks and Eagles.

whoo hoo! **** you, bears.

**** off Bears. I hope Benedict Johnson loses next week too.

A depleted Lions team dominating on the road? Best coached team in the NFL

Yes, I think he does. But if the players take just a bit of the edge off of the intensity (10%), the performance and outcome can drop by more than that (25%) in the NFL, IMO. That's enough for the Lions to win this. Which I want them to do. A bonus of the Bears dropping to the #3 seed would being able to cheer against the Bears AND the Packers both next week, instead of them playing each other and one advancing.

Nobody from California was damn fool enough to come to Indiana that I knew of. No, we were hicks in the sticks, making it all up. Making a reference about “Californians“ was a way of acting like you knew something when you didn’t.

Logan Stanley should be given a medal, not a meeting with player safety.

It's what we do. Bonus;

Wasn't sure where to put this https://x.com/i/status/2008184655355547849

Didn’t know where to put this, but because he often talks Lions…
