Detroit Lions 2024 Offseason Thread
Motor City Sonics replied to Mr.TaterSalad's topic in Detroit Lions
Maybe he's in Aaron Rodgers' tree fort. -
When I was a kid (about 12 or so) SOAP was a series on ABC. It was a comedic spoof of Soap Operas and it dealt with a lot of adult themes, sexual innuendo and had the first openly gay regular character (played by Billy Crystal). I was not allowed to watch SOAP, but I did anyway. I would hide under the piano, blocked by the bench and watch. I did this because I often heard my parents laughing loudly. It was very funny. This is the scene where I burst out laughing and got caught. I was allowed to watch it after this.

Gas prices are up again and that'll matter more than all the indictments on Trump. All Biden's fault. Biden controls all the oil.

We had 9 days over 60 with 4 of those over 70 during the Winter and now that it's spring the Wind Chill is 9 degrees. Mother Nature is an asshole. April 5th (as of now) looks like 58 and partly sunny. That'll change.

Detroit Lions 2024 Offseason Thread
Motor City Sonics replied to Mr.TaterSalad's topic in Detroit Lions
What the hell is "just a common domestic abuse"? Should there even be such a thing. It's bad enough if he abused her, but to me, it's worse when you add the fact that he's a football player - stronger than almost anyone else. It's just not acceptable in any way. Go punch a wall. IF he did it....we haven't heard the whole story. And Ray Rice never did play again, but after the news broke that he KNOCKED OUT his fiancée, he got a standing ovation at training camp. Then the video came out. I love football too but it's kind of sick how much we value it. Maybe Joe Mixon got off because he was still a college kid, but I don't see that as an excuse. He was an adult, and again, being a football player adds another level to it. These guys get praised and then get rich for doing somethin violent. Some of them can't turn that off. I find it puzzling that people seemed to be okay with Mixon but shocked and appalled that Laremy Tunsil was smoking weed through a gas mask. I would guess the vast majority of college students have smoked weed. When the Dolphins drafted him the team President said "I smoked marijuana in college, I turned out alright." The gas mask thing was pretty cool actually, but maybe it's best not to allow yourself to be filmed doing something illegal. It was his step dad that leaked it. Thanksgiving must be fun in that family. -
I don't know. I think a lot of people will hold their nose and vote for Biden. I certainly hope so. I don't know why they'd have to hold their nose. But again, you can talk about low unemployment and a soaring stock market and economic growth all you want, but as long as groceries, heat, gas and all that are expensive, it's going to be his fault (when it's not his fault and we're much better off than most of the world). I'm proudly voting for Biden, I think he's doing a good job. He's far from perfect, but I never asked for perfect and I don't need excitement either. Biden is like a good home plate umpire, you never have any reason to know their name because they're just doing their job correctly. Trump's crimes? They don't mean a thing to the Right. They are so full of hate that they adore the most hateful person to run since Pat Buchanan, who seems likeable by today's standards.

I have never seen the guy. Not only did he attack two elderly sisters in their home in my neighborhood, he attacked a 13 year old girl in Allen Park the same day. If he somehow gets out he'd better stay away from our neighborhood. People are really REALLY angry over this. People want a piece of this guy. Jail's the safest place for him. Based on his crimes, he should be thrown under the jail. His name is Michael Holcomb. This is what 52 looks like? I guess when you have the weight of being a degenerate scumbag on your shoulders it ages you. https://www.wxyz.com/news/man-arraigned-in-heinous-attack-for-allegedly-abusing-raping-2-elderly-sisters?utm_term=wxyz,news,detroit,7 action news,homepage showcase,metro detroit,local news&utm_source=pushly

2024 Detroit Tigers Spring Training Thread
Motor City Sonics replied to Tigeraholic1's topic in Detroit Tigers
This is what it's like trying to explain to people on Facebook why the Tigers can't just send Javy to the minors Question regarding the video. What if he had accomplished his mission here? -
I guess that bar was just trouble. They shut it down (for now). I lock my doors at night but I've never been paranoid about it, but people are just crazy now. So many crazy, desperate and angry people. Why? Life didn't get you all you wanted? Maybe that's on YOU ! I think this is, in part, a symptom for cutting so much funding for mental health.

Stellar ****ing week, downriver. Man rapes a 90 and 87 year old in Dearborn, a shooting at Fairlane, Head-on collision with a drunk driver in Southgate kills someone, and a mom in Wayne beat her 8 year old to death. What the ****?
-
Well, Oblong and I live in a neighborhood where a guy attacked two elderly women (sexually and physically). (I think Ob still lives here). One of the women is 90. Both are in the hospital and probably will live in fear the rest of their lives. Castration would not be enough.

2024 Detroit Tigers Spring Training Thread
Motor City Sonics replied to Tigeraholic1's topic in Detroit Tigers
I had a dream. Six Tigers got one-year suspensions for gambling. Greene, Tork, Rogers and Mize. I can't recall the other two. Season's over, man, Manfred dropped the big one. -

Cap? They're not done, not at all. Still bargains to be had out there. -
Detroit Lions 2024 Offseason Thread
Motor City Sonics replied to Mr.TaterSalad's topic in Detroit Lions
Anyone still bitching about the offseason? And we still have the draft and Brad will get more value at #29 than most teams would get in the Top 15. But they didn't spend all their cap space...........OH NO !!! -

ESPN's new format. All commercials. Only way they can keep the lights on over there. -
I would expect our GM and coaches to recognize that he was playing artificially well and make some kind of move to improve the position. Guess not.

Great new song. I wouldn't call myself a big Kacey Musgraves fan, but I might be now with this album. This song is about John Prine and has a great "Clearmountain Pause" at the 2:30 mark.

The wins are - setting a precedent for future enablers and getting two more lunatics off the street I feel bad for the kid. If he had parents that acted like compassionate parents instead of selfish children themselves he might have had a chance. Maybe. Doesn't seem like the kind of kid that would have had the street sense to get a gun on the black market. Oh, and the win because it's two fewer MAGA morons on election day. Wasn't their gun, it was his gun, a gun they bought for a troubled 15 year old. Some court will overturn it at some point because we live in a country of gun-loving lunatics, like the Crumbleys, who, to the best of my knowledge, were not part of a well-regulated militia.

STANDING OVATION TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY PROSECUTORS AND TO THE JURY. The kid was begging for help and they did nothing. If they had even tried ANYTHING to help him, neither would be facing prison time right now. 2 fewer votes for Trump, too. It's a win-win.

2023 MLB (non-Tigers) catch all thread
Motor City Sonics replied to Tigeraholic1's topic in Detroit Tigers
It's nice to come here and socialize with people who know what's going on. Coming across other places and posts where people are furious that Jackson Jobe isn't starting Opening Day, much less coming North with the team because he struck out 2 guys destined for A-ball in a meaningless game. Freaking out because he can throw it 102 mph. I try to explain that Matt Anderson could hit 102 as well and the general answer is "who?". Why don't they just send Baez to Toledo? Don't try bother explaining anything about MLB options. It's like talking to a flat earther. -
What does this say about the rest of this team. Larkin goes down and it is over. What a weak bunch this is.

This season is over.
