  1. Forget the pitcher, just give these wussies a tee...
  2. Just an innocent bystander, somehow he got stuck between a rock and a hard place Send lawyers, guns and money
  3. Not really, the teams aspect was a small portion of her overall responsibilities. It was more like making sure the trains ran on time.
  4. I've been diagnosed with ILD (Interstitial Lung Disease). We suspect I've had it for a while. They've prescribed Cofev. Medicare doesn't pay until I meet the deductible. Then it pays something like 75% Since it's considered experimental, out of pocket is still fairly steep.
  5. I worked for Metro Traffic for several years. When they came into the markets they would make agreements with stations where they would take over payment for certain employees who would still broadcast on stations. The stations would turn over a certain number of minutes of commercial time to sell to clients. Since you still represented the station you were on you were still loyal to the station. The broadcast teams work similarly. They're probably effectively paid by the station but work for the team. A bit of disclosure, when we first came to Detroit my wife's position included supervision of the Tigers and Wings (and Lions) broadcasts. It was primarily the go between between the station and the teams. She did that as well with the Bears the last couple of years we were in Chicago. (She hates sports)
  6. the Tigers flagship station is WXYT. Dickerson is employed by the Tigers Radio Network. I think you would say Dickerson is a Tigers employee. WXYT pays the Tigers for the rights to broadcast the games.
  7. Typical for a rich entitled white TV personality
  8. Hey Vern!
  9. And no standing up 12 times a quarter to let people in and out of the row. i get my best Sunday afternoon naps when i watch a game.
  10. I doubt it's enforceable. It is the mentality of the state GOP the problem is it's impossible to campaign on in the rural US
  11. Only pinch blowers when they need a break or working on a complicated project
  12. They'll take the 5th
  13. I'm starting a petition to repeal the states marketing slogan It's true as long as you're heterosexual.
  14. I’ve found the glass blowing “competition” on Netflix quite riveting
  15. They just spent $18 million upgrading facilities. https://www.fox2detroit.com/news/oakland-hills-country-club-fire-bloomfield-twp-southfield-fire-departments-fighting-raging-fire
  16. I think she's been doing a talk show on one of the radio stations in Minneapolis for a few years now. This move is not surprising.
  17. Not a guitar guy but as a midlife sax player I can relate a bit. First of all take a stab at lessons. It will give you some incentive to play and if the teacher has an opening during your daughter's dance class it will give you something to do besides running errands. If it doesn't work out what did you really lose? I've got somewhat the same problem on "practicing". Moving from a house where I could play in the basement to a town home where not only my wife is around but the guy next door works from home. He has his daughter occasionally during the week as well so I don't want to disturb the neighbors. My wife spends most of her workday on conference calls or meetings so there is that as well. I stopped playing a couple of years ago because of dental issues and just starting back in again playing from fake books. Unfortunately this area does not have the community concert band population as Metro Detroit and after asking around a bit starting one here seems to be a heavy lift. I did get the horn out today (she's in Michigan for the week). Now that the weather is warmer maybe it will be some back patio playing. (Until the HOA calls)
  18. I don't think Palin did McCain any favors. I do remember walking thru a hotel lobby in Dublin and seeing it on TV and my wife who fairly much in the know going "who the hell is she". I do believe she cost McCain some votes, along with McCain's actions during the banking meltdown. (Yes Bush was still president but McCain's shutting down his campaign followed by a couple days of perceived dithering lost him several points.)
  19. Her reputation was ruined shortly after McCain put her on the ticket
  20. Maybe they can repeal a few Packers wins over the Lions while they're at it
  21. America first (unless they can get it in bulk and make a profit)
  22. Lucy with the football?
  23. But Antifa, BLM......(oh yes all Democrats are criminals)
