  1. Just think of all the time and energy wasted. If he only just returned the cart. Also think of the time spent by employees who do that. I used to get mad at the West Bloomfield Princesses who were to lazy to walk 10 feet to the cart corrals at the local Hiller's (now Kroger)
  2. Maybe it's because I spent over half my life getting up at 3:30AM. I'm not super crazy about the Sun still being out at bedtime. Then again driving home in the dark after a split shift (5:30-9:00) 3:00-6:30) gets old fast.
  3. Those guys went the way of Johny Unitas and Billy Kilmer
  4. And if that doesn't work you unplug him and start over. Reboot time
  5. Correction, Faux News is owned by a foreign national and Tucker Carlson is another Aaron Burr
  6. I think Goff is a good system quarterback, when the system breaks down I feel there he has flaws. Fumbles, interceptions, whatever. I'm a bad amateur musician. But I look at the team this way. Goff is Kenny G or a good session player. Like Bill Bergman (You Belong in the City), Mark Rivera (Billy Joel's guy). They are very good but no Mark Turner or Kenny Garrett who are probably the best currently at improvisation. If the Lions think they can draft the next Mark Turner, I say go for it. And in today's NFL you're going to need a QB who is able to improvise on occasion. No knock. I'd just like being prepared in case of emergency. We just saw in the playoffs what happens if your QB goes down. SF had it happen in their most important game of the season.
  7. Folks have been complaining about the "time changes" since they've been adopted. Maybe we just need to outlaw clocks
  8. True, but they're starting to crack down big time on password sharing.
  9. And if you actually take a look at what decent internet cost and combine it what you are paying for the streaming apps you realize you're spending a heck of a lot money. Especially once the introductory offers run out.
  10. This argument is going nowhere. Neither one of us is making the final decision. It's starting to feel like explaining to my 10 year old grandson why I don't want to stop at 5Below
  11. At the same time in many areas your only internet option comes from the cable company. Despite what TMobile and Verizon tell you about 5G. Especially if you have multiple devices or need reliable service to work from home.
  12. I don't think anybody has ever said he's not good enough after last season. My reasoning is I'd rather have someone who is a capable replacement if heaven forbid someone hits him the wrong way (see Drew Bledsoe, Joe Theisman, last year's 49ers) and upsets a promising season or to or three. Right now the Lions have no backup...and if you can sign promising guy on a rookie contract and sit him for a year or two good. You then have options come year three or four. I was always taught redundancy is a good thing.
  13. Take a look at the history of Lions QB's....Kitna was on the Lions QB the year after Rogers was drafted. If you drafted Rogers to replace Harrington and if lightning struck you wouldn't have needed the other Lions QB's I've noted. You have your fantasy world I have mine. edit According to your reasoning there was no reason for the Packers to draft Rogers because they already had Favre
  14. I have a feeling from a cost and technical standpoint it would not be feasible for streamers to even entertain such an idea at this time. But then I'm spitballing
  15. The streamers already have their national contract. YouTube and MLB are currently arguing over a contract and is not carrying the network at the moment
  16. Once upon a time the Lions could have drafted Aaron Rogers and not have relied on Joey Harrington, John Kitna, Dan Orlovsky, Matthew Stafford, etc
  17. It would be feasible IF there was another option. As it stands now, unless I'm wrong, Bally's is the only sports network in the region. You could assume the Tigers/Wings and possibly Pistons could attempt to set up their own enterprise. That would be costly and not possible to create over night. The other option could possibly do it the old fashion way and set up a network of local stations across the region. I think that would be a near impossible sell unless you put it on one of the major stations sub channel and make deals with local Cale companies. That's not going to happen before opening day. I also can't imagine the technical cost to do that
  18. I'm just to cheap to spend $25 a month for something that I'd watch a couple times a week on top of the other streaming services.
  19. To me the whole Bally/Sinclair/??? issue is # who has the broadcast rights if the current holder is unable to deliver on the contract. I would assume they would revert back to the Tigers or any other team who may be affected. It's then the team's prerogative to assign or sell the rights to another entity. (With the consent of MLB). It would also probably be up to MLB or the team to strike a deal with cable operators in the region (along with satellite providers) to carry the broadcasts. The fact that Sinclair pulled this move as late as they did makes me believe something is fishy Hunt Valley, MD. (Home base for Sinclair)
  20. I would assume all stadiums already have technical crews in place with the exception of the announcing crew and possibly a producer for TV games. Since both teams take the same camera feed, usually. It makes no sense shipping technical equipment and trucks cross country all the time. The NFL has been doing that for years. Meanwhile some of us out of market fans are waiting anxiously to see if TMobile is offering us free MLB again this year.
  21. Tucker is a real Diogenes
