Turning the page on the calendar, thank goodness. Looking like Dead Wings but sweep the next (at Philly, at NYR, vs Minnesota) and hopes could be resurrected Easter Sunday.

Maybe. The government is seeking only prospective relief, meaning that the EO is looking to end birthright citizenship for a particular class of persons moving forward. as you state. However, when the SG was asked at oral argument whether the administration would seek to apply its order retroactively, the SG refused to say that it would not. In other words, the government did not commit that it would not look to rescind the citizenship of US citizens who were naturalized under old laws. As Justice Sotomayor noted, the US has done this before when it rescinded citizenship for american indians. Given the cruel nature of this administration in regards to non-white immigrants, and the bipolar nature of donald trump, i dont think you can say with any certainty he would not look to deport as many brown people as his government agents could get their hands on. And if you disagree, why dont you ask stephen miller what he thinks.

LOL!

Someone tell Trump his male lackeys are equally inept.

This would have never happened if the DOW was over 50,000. 🤔

Trump knows he's guilty of many crimes and she failed to charge him with anything. She's terrible at her job.

By Jigsaw puzzles they mean like the one in the Saw movie franchise where the participants are immigrants.

Hi everyone! GOOOOOOOOOO PISTONS!!!! What a fun season this has been to this point! Deleterious with the Kool-Aid man. Gosh, it's been probably more than a decade since I've seen that combo on the message board, but it feels like yesterday right now.

My father, who lived to 99, was born in the United States to immigrant parents. He also did more for America than most Americans can even imagine. He fought in the front lines of WWII.

I saw quotes by Barret to the effect of "Yeah but the Constitution" The solicitor is like "It's a brave new world...." Roberts said "It might be but the constitution is still the constitution"

Saw this and laughed...

DeBrincat gives the Wings de lead!

We swap with them if it's 19-30. They get our pick and we get their pick.

I think Ausar is still eligible. I think he has to play 20 minutes in all but 1 of our remaining games (or something like that). The sad part is most of the damage to Ausar's eligibility was done by JB. Way too many games where he just decided to play him less than 20 minutes.

This. Right here. This. She had one job.

I am basically 50% Polish and German so I really wanted Poland to qualify. After the US, my No. 2 team is Poland (it's too easy to root for Germany), so that would be great. However, I think qualifying should matter. It shouldn't be a piece of cake. I think this is Italy's third straight World Cup vacation. That's not a mistake any more. Be better. When the US didn't qualify, I was harping two cycles prior that the US was going to struggle with the cycle eight years later. I honestly think they may have struggled this cycle if not given an auto bid. I enjoy the qualifiers and don't want to see them not matter. I went to plenty of US CONCACAF qualifiers because they mattered. I was earning my fan caps for US-Mexico games in Columbus for quite a few cycles. Six CONCACAF teams automatically in 2030, and a seventh competing in a play-in home-and-home series. Ehhh, even I think the US can blindly just walk through and qualify in that scenario. It probably will go to 64 teams one day. I think there is a little talk about it for 2030,but that probably be more likely a 2034? Maybe I'm off on that and 2030 is more on the table than I think. It's more money, more fringe teams making the cup and if half the field increasing the interest in the event world-wide, so they probably will. That probably would mean another week to the tourney as well.

I actually think it should expand to 64 teams. Soccer is the most popular sport in the world and if you're going to host a tournament every 4 years to crown the best, might as well let as many teams participate as possible. Even with the expanded format, you have teams like Italy, Denmark, Poland and Nigeria who didn't qualify.

i'll be interested to see how teams guard wemby in the playoffs. i suspect they'll just try to beat the **** out him.

i'd be willing to be that new orleans would give up a lot for stew. like...maybe another unprotected first?

4 years running...

Back in the day you still had some huge ball parks, Cleveland, Polo grounds in center, Tigers in CF, the original LF at Yankee stadium, Fenway in RC, There was a lot more opportunity to hit balls a long way that were going to stay in play, and for those teams in those parks big OF arms were more important. And I think it's also true that guys did a lot less power training. I think the rise of cookie cutter short OF ballparks and the change in training toward pure power lifting for HR hitting just eliminated throwing as skill for most OFs for a long period. I think today with much more sophisticated training, we again see more guys who train for HR strength but maintain the elasticity needed to keep their throwing arms. And my very casual impression is that there has almost been a renaissance in the number of guys out there today who do throw well from the OF. The Tigers just don't have any of them - beyond maybe Kerry or when we put a regular SS/3B out there, and even then its not quite the same kind of throw.

Bros before hoes.

Such a great writer

My mind doesn't even think of LeVert being on this team right now. On a team of great depth, he just seems to be the invisible generic guy in the rotation that has never made me care enough about him this season. He 100% is a candidate for a salary dump. Who? I'm not that deep in the weeds with it to this point. That's what message boards are for though, thinking out loud. Honestly, how attractive would Stew and LeVert be for any team getting both in any package? They'd have to be going to two separate teams probably in the three-way or four-way trade.

The correlation of total runs scored to scoring zero runs in an inning is r^2=-0.95; for scoring exactly one run, it's r^2=0.47; and for scoring two or more runs, it's r^2=0.94. Not sure whether that tells us much more.

I would take Wemby but have no problem if they pick Jokic.

I don't think Stew will be back next season. It's been a gut feeling I've had since basically the start of the season. He 100% has value and is a great fit to the team's mindset. He is under contract for two more seasons, but the second season is a club option, so it could as quick as one more season. There's a lot of reasons to think there is little chance he's going anywhere, but for some reason I just have had that feeling all season. The one thing is if the Pistons made a splash trade in the offseason, there would have to be some big salary dumps to do that. It's not like $15 mil is a super huge amount, but it is one of the Pistons' highest salaries and he certainly could have value to a team in trade. I guess it's not just a willy nilly out of the blue gut feeling. He is making $15 mil, isn't really even a starter and does miss games with injuries frequently, including last season during the playoffs.

Based on the mailers we've been receiving evidently Gov Spanberger and former President Obama are against the proposed redistricting in Virginia for 2026. So I decided to take MAGA's advise and vote yes That will show them.

For what? Jonas Jerebko's E-Sport team?

I'd much rather choose one of those "1st round grades" at 21 than see what's left for me at 28. We get to draft a player that ranks higher on our board, it's as simple as that. Not sure how you can spin moving up 20-25% higher in a good draft as a bad or pointless thing. But I do agree with your other point. Accumulating more picks would certainly be nice.

Don't forget about Stewart. Just having him in the game and we probably win. Didn't Robinson and Harris also sit out that game? Thats 5 players that would have made a huge difference. Its amazing we were even in the game, let alone taking it to OT.

MVP. Just like last year and in 22-23. But they'll give it to the free throw merchant again.

Companies can't risk the hit to productivity in the meantime by freaking out the people they're going to fire and replace with AI, so they are bull****ting their employees into believing their jobs are secure because they will be so much better and more productive at it with AI. This way, companies can get 100% from their employees right up to the minute they push them off the cliff.

Internet bots causing insanely high levels of traffic to this website.. Happens occasionally... I blame new technology.

KU seems closest to a B1G school of the ones I've seen so far. I saw a prof in the cafeteria who had that older Ann Arbor prof look (i.e., wildly curly gray hair, austerely thin, button up shirt and dress pants from the 1980s). I was like...if we were looking at zillow of his house we'd see mid century modern, african art, musical instruments, kitchen needs an upgrade.

Stew gets overlooked with Cade being out. But I'm starting to get a bit concerned about his injury. A second year missing the playoffs due to injury might make them consider moving him this summer.

The market has been a willing participant in being talked off the ledge generally... they've treated this like a normal Presidency and think that when he comes to bad decisions that he'll back off once the blowback occurs. At some point, one would think the fact that he's an irrational actor (to put it kindly) would break through and we'd get an "Emporer has no clothes" moment, but I'll believe it when I see it

Yep, with all the ABS overturns and calls like this.............We all thought Angel Hernandez was the worst ump, but I had heard and read plenty of people saying Bucknor is worse. Is he sick? To me it looks like he's lost weight, he does not look well. Maybe he had bulkier padding in the past. I think Umpires should have to justify their jobs by their performance. Stop treating them like Supreme Court Justices.

The national media sure is carrying Luka's water for MVP.

Teams have a remedy though to end contracts early - and teams frequently refuse to pay players under the contract. It's called a cut. What's the players' remedy?

The Mantha trade has not worked out. If there is a culture problem in Detroit, the explanation for it runs through the question of why both Mantha and apparently Soderblom are flourishing in Pittsburgh when we couldn’t get rid of them fast enough.

All this talk about Springsteen and nobody has yet mentioned his greatest song: “Rosalita”.

Lucky for all of the "no respect" people the NBA has a mechanism for teams to earn respect. It starts in 2 1/2 weeks.

One positive from Trump.

So much of the Pistons offense is triggered by their defense. Much of that is triggered by Ausar.

The only question left is if he goes in the HoF with a Tigers hat?
