  1. Just as aside concerning Bob Rathbun. Anyone replacing Ernie, especially under those circumstances were bound to fail. Bob did some play by play for the Tidewater Tides in Norfolk and also some basketball (ODU?)and football while we were there. He worked at the same station as my wife. I worked MaryBeth (Bob's wife) briefly doing traffic in Norfolk. They were both very ambitious in their careers. Detroit can be a tough town to acclimate to if you are an "outsider". One of MaryBeth's parents also became ill and died during their time here. From what I read she was not happy in Detroit. Bob has been doing Atlanta Hawks games for the last 25 plus years. His resume also shows him doing some Braves games for about 10 years. He's had a very good career. Detroit was not a good fit for either broadcaster.
  2. If I recall stories that I've read in the past, wasn't there a "beloved" sportscaster at WJR involved as well?
  3. I was just reading about Whelan's background. Not exactly stellar. A court martial conviction related to larceny while in the Marines. His police resume in Michigan seems a bit sketchy as well. His arrest in Moscow seems a bit fishy as well. He was leading a wedding party tour group, then skipped the wedding to go sight seeing?Taking it all with the usual grain of salt since Wikipedia is my main source. Not supporting Putin here, but there seems to be more to what may be happening than Brittany having a bit of pot.
  4. Looks like DD found a Rule 5 loophole...
  5. I liked Florida Man better when they were wrestling alligators or looking for shortcuts through the Everglades
  6. Violating his oath of office. Arrest him and charge him with sedition
  7. If you want a Rumor this is the best I can offer now. Her name is Rumor
  8. Patience young grasshopper. The market is fairly young, still plenty of time til March,
  9. There needs to be a limit to the number of times a player can take advantage of the. Portal. J T Daniels is moving on to his fourth school. That should be a red flag to any reputable program about the player. His quest for a pro career will only net him a handful if jerseys
  10. Especially with the supposed change in the ball. As an aside, have you seen this story....3 different balls were supposedly used last season https://www.foxnews.com/sports/study-shows-mlb-used-three-different-baseballs-in-2022-after-admitting-two-were-used-last-season
  11. Walker's son....
  12. Looks like Trump is 0 for 3 in Georgia Senate races. So much winning.
  13. Sounds like he's currently on the fence...
  14. DD reloading big time...
  15. Nate's arrow seems conservative
  16. You're talking 81 games (not counting playoffs) at the ballpark, seven months. It's actually not a bad area. Closer to family. With the amount of money he's getting really doesn't make that much difference, especially if you can get away in the Winter.
  17. I admit the song has become a bit of a cliche thanks to the Red Sox and Fenway Park, but Neil Diamond leading a chorus of Sweet Caroline does bring a smile. The man was a consummate performer in his prime...and still does a good job.
  18. Scalice is still a Trump apologist, while Cheney is persona non grata in the GOP she wouldn't gather more than a small handful of Democrats.
  19. Miller also spent a few hours in the same courthouse last Tuesday....
