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...

Little Caesars Arena - Detroit, MI

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

A neighbor girl went to Tennessee and this very dark skinned Indian girl came back as a blond. She was already one in her mind and disposition so, it merely affirmed her identity.

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.

My liberal Michigan grad mother would have a heart attack if my daughter went to Bama.

I've seen it said that AI can make people more productive... so if that's true then why would you negate that productivity by firing people? Don't you want more output? Or is productivity not the real goal? (Rhetorical question, I know).

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

This was all very predictable in that Presidents are often faced with events they cannot control. We all saw how he reacted (or decomposed rather) in the face of COVID. There are differences this time though, starting with the fact that this wasn't an act of God, it was a war of choice. His fingerprints are all over the metaphorical smoking gun and all of it, the conflict, the economic effects, the additional money per gallon on fuel, it's all on this decision

These are the times that try fans’ souls.

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.

And a beautiful throw into 2nd for Clark. https://x.com/tigersMLreport/status/2039405219507736892?s=20

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.

Pistons are 6-2 since Cade got hurt....7-2 if you count the game he got hurt, he only played a few minutes in that one.

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?
