Also there’s a good one panel comic that could be made of Gen Z kids watching their streaming sports through their phones while making fun of what a dinosaur a Boomer/Gen X guy is for being uncool enough to watch the exact same event through their satellite or cable on their 80” 4K TV.

Why do they always say "unexpected?" We live in the biggest Ponzi scheme ever funded.

I always think of Britain’s Jimmy Savile as the textbook case of a public figure operating more or less in plain sight as a pedophile for literally decades without so much as a whiff of scrutiny or consequences, legal or otherwise, and in a country with the most powerful and salacious tabloid media on earth.

Yes. I watch on Fire Stick.

Depressing. And it makes me even less patient with anti-vaxxers than I already was.

Also, Dan + Dirks >>> Benetti + Dirks.

I’ve started watching the new series from Prime, a Guy Ritchie production called Young Sherlock. All the episodes dropped a few days ago. It’s fast paced and doesn’t dawdle one bit introducing the character, because you already know who it is, which is nice. It’s non-canonical in terms of classic Conan Doyle, and it’s based upon a separate book series, but in the first episode you meet Holmes’ brother Rycroft, and Holmes’ eventual nemesis Moriarity who is every bit as brilliant as Sherlock all within the first 20 minutes. It’s quite watchable.

Sound like something to discuss with your therapist.

There’s buffering on my end. Not a lot. But noticeable. Audio is spotty but that could just be the environment. I’m not glued to it visually but it looks clean. I like that. No clutter.

I like the box in the corner much better than the scrolling gambling odds.

exactly. Brad and Dan said they could not sleep, knowing that Manu and Vaki were still available for the next day's picks. really??? If they both really thought that, then that speaks to a huge mis-evaluation for both guys. if they stood still and grabbed Manu, the expectations/narratives might be different. and again, Brad is the best Lions GM in my lifetime by a mile.

To MAGAs they all look alike

It's a shame that we used to universally agree that childhood pedophila was abhorrent, repugnant, and morally wrong. Now that Donald Trump had been exposed as a child pedophile and sexual pervert towards teenage girls, one side of the political asile is alright with grown men walking in on teenage girls changing naked at teen beauty pageants.

What Trump said about the Supreme is absolutely correct.

Does this mean the MAGAs won’t complain if we talk politics in the sports forums?

Well if Patrick Bacon's computer is telling us that the Wings got worse replacing JBD with Faulk then we are doomed! If my fancy stat bot told me that I'd just keep it to myself honestly. What a joke. I went to look at his account to see who he was and I see I have him blocked already lol.

And a huge upgrade on defense?

OTOH I also saw a tweet that said he has been getting Seider-like minutes and usage, so maybe sliding in underneath Seider/Edvinsson will help.

Did he bring his peanut butter knife?

Meadows can't hit subpar pitching. Meadows couldn't hit water if he fell out of a boat.

the 2024 draft fiasco looms even larger now: Arnold - he will soon will find out what happens when you are a non-impact player who has off-field issues Rakestraw - injured player has been injured Manu - not good enough to fill Skipper's shoes, let alone Decker's Vaki - instead of filling DMo role, he's a ST player, which you can find in 7R or undrafted guy Wingo - too small Mahogany - if he stays healthy, could start for next few years at LG

Maybe they meant it was going to be $2 higher.

For me apps are fine in limited circumstances but in general I don't like it when the games I want to watch are on them. I like to flip around. Unless it's a "must see" game like a playoff or an opener where it will have my full attention... Otherwise having to exit out and then go back is annoying. Then they forget who you are and you have to log in again. I'm a dinosaur. I still have cable. I will be ticked if I have to pay for this more than I am now. I'm already on an elevated tier that includes sports, like MLB Network, Big Ten, NHL Network, etc. and that includes FanDuel. Before their fight a a few years ago the old Bally's wasn't on that tier, they moved it to that. Fine, whatever. But if I now have to go above that, yeah it will bother me. I'll pay it because I'm a slappy... but it stinks. If it were just me in the house, I'd go bare bones and get rid of all of it, like my son has done since he moved out. But my wife needs Friends on during the day on TBS and at night on Nick. Yeah, I know it's on HBO Max. That's not the same.

I think you mean Boaty McBoatface PARK at Fifth Third Yard.

Max Clark has been underwhelming. He is not ready for prime time.

Clark has no business being in Detroit this season.

I was talking to an Iranian student who I currently have in class. She is an A student and a nice person. She has contacted some of her family and friends back home. Some of them she can not reach. She says they are scared and confused and not feeling very hopeful. They didn't like Khamenei, but they are not optimistic of the future. Their infrastructure is being destroyed and they fear instability and civil war. She is aware that the Trump administration could not care less about the Iranian people and says that only a minority of Iranians believe the propaganda about freedom and democracy.

I don't imagine RFK has taken the time to read this (Medscape 2/17/2026): "As the US measles cases soar following 2025’s record-shattering outbreaks, experts warn that healthcare practitioners and parents may be unprepared for the virus’s hidden threat: immune amnesia. The condition is pretty much what it sounds like. The virus destroys immune memory, wiping out memory B cells and T cells and forcing the immune system to rebuild its defenses from scratch. “Nearly every unvaccinated child who gets measles can be impacted,” said Patricia Stinchfield, CPNP, past president of the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases. Rebuilding immune memory leaves patients vulnerable to new exposures, and infections, hospitalizations, and missed work and school can linger for up to 5 years, casting a long shadow after recovery. Immune amnesia was officially recognized in 2015, but clues emerged before that. Scottish scientists in the 1700s described waves of infections and deaths in measles’ wake. When measles vaccines arrived in the 1960s, ’70s, and ’80s, researchers noticed unexpected drops in seemingly unrelated health problems. And looking back at prevaccination records, they documented higher rates of infections and deaths in kids for several years after they had this highly-contagious childhood illness. Lots of deaths. “Half of all childhood infectious-disease deaths were related to immune amnesia caused by measles,” said Michael J. Mina, MD, PhD, an infectious disease expert and former assistant professor of epidemiology and immunology, Harvard Medical School, Boston. Mina’s landmark research, published from 2015 to 2019, helped illuminate the measles-immune amnesia link. “Before vaccines, it was difficult to see the connection because virtually everyone got measles. There was no one to compare them to.”
