I work in finance, which is somewhat related to business. I am getting my booster later today and will continue to follow the masking policy at work.

That's pretty cool.

A lot of lazy/dumb passes early on in the 1st quarter didn't help. It looked like amateur hour at the YMCA.

How do we stop the stupid people from breeding, and the cretins from cloning and feeding?

Washington Wizards (14-11) vs Detroit Pistons (4-19)

Be careful, you don't want to be the first target if his personal militia.

Right. We can just be honest about it and acknowledge that the CBA has expired.

If there is reincarnation, I would like to be a championship thoroughbred that gets to retire to stud.

Can he pitch?

I fell asleep for the 4th quarter. Woke up and saw that a lead of about 10 was about to be a loss of about 10. How did that happen? Good grief, was it a layup line out there?

How can one lose what they ain't got?

Sure. So someone points a paper clip at you with one hand and a loaded handgun with their other hand. Neither object is more harmful to you than the other.

This from someone that referred to a gun as "just a piece of metal".

Vaxx vs unvaxx rather than shirts vs skins? Hey, I know of an outdoor court close to your place that doesn't get used much this time of year.

Oklahoma City Thunder (6-16) vs Detroit Pistons (4-18)

Let's think about the position that these monsters have put other families in.

Yeah, well, they get to live, unlike some of the victims. So pardon me for not having sympathy for the "parents" having a bit of uncomfortable time this week.

There were probably common sense ways for the "parents" (if one can call them that) to avoid the media circus that would have also avoided the death and turmoil that we saw this week, but I'm probably just speculating here.

Not so fast, my friend!

So, now this comment about Ilitch kind of strikes me. Can we correlate this offseason to one of the Dombrowski offseasons? It seems unlikely. But this massive improvement in record that we saw in 2021, does it compare a bit to 2004? I guess ultimately what I am trying to get to is will we find that, after the Tigers have gotten through the reboot, will we find that Al & Chris are better at building cohesive teams than Dave & Mike were?

OK, so this is a coincidence.... Or maybe not?

Wait a minute, has someone hacked CBS Sports college bowl prediction page? When did this new addition hit the bowl season?

Or should it be Seager to 3B and Kiner-Falefa remains at SS?

Oregon goes from the Rose Bowl to the Alamo Bowl. And sounds like a coaching change could be occurring as well.

I think both the OSU offense and OSU defense were still trying to figure things out earlier in the season. The defensive coaching changed was helpful, but I don't think they were a great unit. Stroud had a lot of overthrows in the first few games, and it seemed like he was a much better QB after he came back from injury. The formula for OSU was pretty simple, try to outscore teams. The MSU game was an outlier as the OSU offense (and MSU coaching staff) took Walker's running out of the game early. OSU was susceptible to the run game all season. And like all defenses, if they can focus solely on either the run or the pass it helps them out. So score early and often, try to put the opponent in pass only mode, and on the flip side have the offense burn the scoreboard. That's essentially the 2021 OSU team. So, depending upon what you think of OSU, sure, they could be overrated this season. I think part of the over/under ratings (in general) goes back to assuming everybody has carryover from the previous year(s) and way to early in the season rankings.
