Do NOT make him an honorary member pf this board. How about, instead: Marred-a-Ego Merlot? Dumb**** Dry Champlaine? White Trash Whinging Whino Rezelink (NOT from Germany) Cheapest **** US MAGA Whine for only 199.99 per bottle Zhinf, Zinph, Xi Fan DU... However the **** you say or spell this Zhinphandellick ****ing whine from my whineyard (JD, where the **** is my whineyard?) Oh yeah, from my Whinery in that 14 year-old virgin's open your legs valley. Drumpf: Did I say that correctly?

"I Am Swedish White Wine, NOT German" by Drumpf Whinery.

NIL.

and my health care coverage is so cheap they refuse to pay my husband's cancer bills, but... ... HEIL DRUMPF!!!"

So... She was a ... "Paid Actor"?

This is a definite sign of Trump the Antichrist:

That's what G2 and I were joking about. I remember collecting stamps in the early 70's and asking Dad: "Who is the Magyar Republic"?

His early stats are making him look like the 2026 AL Rookie of the Year.

nap.

I noticed that. Magyar WINS in Hungary!!! Spectacular!!!

Although he has TWO right hands in this... Or maybe that also is more accurate...?

And react accordingly. Fight for our democracy. That is my immovable/ unchangeable position.

Ukraine is the biggest beneficiary (aside from the Hungarian people) of Orban's loss today. Who is the biggest loser? Putin... or Trump/ MAGA/ right wing USA Fascists...? I say Putin loses his biggest European partner-in-crime with Orban out.

Based on this, some comments/ questions: Ratledge is RG, I believe Ioane can play both RG and LG without any issues... which means I think he will slot in at LG, Ratledge stays at RG. You forgot the team seems adamant about moving Sewell to LT... or at least it seems that way to me... So drafting Ioane would STILL mean having him next to Sewell... just on the left side IMO, not on the right. My questions would be: Can Miles Frazier play RT? Can Manu? I think Borom is better as a backup tackle... but yes, he'd be an average RT if he was chosen to be the starter for 2026. But I think Frazier (possibly), Manu (yes, even him), or a drafted RT would be better as the starter than Borom. IMO.

Not only that... But there are about five immediate starting quality tackles that could possibly be there at #17. Mauigoa... no chance, IMO. Fano, Lomu, Freeling, Miller, Proctor (please NO!), and I'll even toss in Vega Ioane at LG who is definitely a Holmes/DC type of player... Maybe 1 or 2 on that list goes prior to #17... Brad can: A) Move up to target the OT (or Ioane) that he loves best. or... B) Sit tight, stay at 17 and have his favorite O-Line player (by luck) fall right into his lap. or... C) Trade down to the low 20's because he has calculated that "his guy" will also be available there.

So as a follow-up to this: What package would you guys accept in trading Larkin? A top center prospect? Plus a #1?

I actually would be VERY interested in seeing what a 2nd line of Kasper-Danielson-MBN could do for a full NHL season. The 3rd line (mostly in the O-zone faceoffs and PP2) would be Cat-Copp-Finnie. Although my "2nd line" would have to start out as a 3rd line and EARN their way to #2... But I am anticipating that they will do just that (yes, I'm "projecting" just a wee-tiny-little bit here...). But that's just me.

I think the return package for Larkin would be looked at by all of us, including Stevie Y, as very, very subpar to our expectations. Just a guess...

Isn't that the time half of Grand Rapids Griffins were playing for the Detroit Red Wings?

Looks like quite a few mid-round TE's that could be useful to the Lions. Hard no on 1st round TE.

Tigers waiver claimed Grant Holman (6' 6" 250 # RH'ed reliever) from the Dodgers, put Sweeney on the 60. Holman is killing it in AAA but hasn't been able to successfully translate that to MLB yet... 26 years old at the end of May.

Final Nail... meet Coffin.

So the Red Wings have to win this and the next two games... one of them in regulation. And Ottawa cannot get one single point in their last two. Very, very, very, very doubtful. Ottawa's next point puts the nail in the coffin (or we get 1 point or less today...).

That looks more like giving Torres a day off and trying to use the switch-hitterness of Wenceel... plus... he hit decently last year (.748 OPS, not horrible)... than trying to enforce a "Wenceel must bat second" philosophy... IMO. I think when Wenceel plays and Torres plays that it's Torres always in the top-3 with Keith and Kevin... Only when Torres gets that day off and Wenceel is playing will we see this... and I get what Hinch is trying here... But we'll see how Hinch uses him over the next couple of months...

Yes.
