He doesn't need to be a mentor. Let the coaches do that. A lot of rookies just need to sit for a year. We've had a lot of QB busts in the last decade that seems to go along with this philosophy that if you draft a QB in the Top 10 or Top 20 they must play right away. I think some of those busts could have had a more successful career if they had time to adjust to the size and speed of the NFL. C.J. Stroud is a unicorn. I think that's why it was smart for the Lions to take a QB they had no intention of playing right away. Russ is a jackass, but I don't think he suddenly forgot how to play football. He got complacent. He owes more to Pete Carroll than he'd ever admit. I still think, in the right system, he's an upgrade over about 1/4 of the league's starters. Brett Favre didn't mentor Aaron Rodgers and Rodgers didn't mentor Jordan Love. The Dangerwich isn't even spicy, too. Asshole.

It would be incredibly smart for a team who is drafting a rookie QB this year, to sign Russ to a one-year deal and let that rookie watch and learn some things and not throw them to the wolves like Carolina did. Not ready to say Bryce Young is a bust. If guys like Bryce Young and Zack Wilson were allowed to soak things in they might have had a better run.

Sorry, but if Warde doesn't fire Howard than they both MUST go. Having to be physically restrained from attacking a trainer. That sound normal to you? Seems like the post-Wisco suspension and a heart scare didn't teach him a damn thing. He can't control his temper. He's a total embarrassment. Know when to cut 'em loose. We've seen too many times when the writing was on the wall (Patricia's pointless third year, Brandon Staley coming back to the Chargers last year). Cut and run. Ain't workin' and it ain't gonna work and he just makes the university look like a joke, and that's not even talking about the record (8-22 now?).

If Ono has to step in, then Warde has to go. This ain't the only bullet in the chamber for Warde either. Scandal after scandal after scandal across multiple sports (How many AD's let athletes drive their wives cars, much less crash them?). And Michigan (and other schools) need to institute a policy - if you're head coach, you can't put your kids on the team. Well, at least Michigan needs to do that. Can't be objective when it's your kids, especially when you have the maturity of a 15 year old like Juwan Howard. Dude is coming off of heart surgery having to be restrained from physically going after the head trainer for "disrespecting" his son (ain't his kids' only incidents, by the way). Want respect? Then give it. What kind of clown show is this? It really has nothing to do with the record. He's gotta go. Today.
-
Well, after reading about the incident with the trainers it has become abundantly clear. Both Warde Manuel and Juwan Howard need to go. Today. Juwan can take his entitled brats with him too. We all know that he should have been fired the night of the Wisconsin fight. He's a total disgrace. And Warde is too. Jim's gone, no need for him anymore. Ono - Do your job.

Siblings in bands At a family get-together to celebrate Dave Davies 50th birthday in 1997, Ray Davies got so pissed off about not getting all the attention that he jumped up on a table and stamped all over the birthday cake and he wasn't even drunk. Ray Davies is so damned stubborn that a guy shot him and it still didn't kill him.

If you liked Oasis or Brit Pop in general, this new Liam Gallagher & John Squire album is fantastic

I haven't taken a voluntary vacation from my job since I started it in May. Even when I had COVID I was doing my on-air shift from home and still scheduling music and everything else. But I love what I do, so 75% does not seem like "Work"

I guess they are absolutely TERRIBLE at job interviews. They tend not to look the interviewer in the eye and engage in little secondary conversation and can't seem to leave their phones in the cars. Phones have a lot to do with it. People can't do for themselves without using a phone now. I think smartphone and social media addiction is as potentially dangerous as a drug addiction. People need that Dopamine hit. Keep checking checking for likes and clicks. They can't function without it. Improvisation? Yeah, right.

I am old guy here. Sometimes Millennials really annoy me. Look, they are getting screwed. Higher education is more expensive than ever and outpacing other increasing costs. And I think much of the University system is a big scam, people in the biz for profit. Yes, higher education has to be re-imagined, but the powers that run it won't change anything because they are hitting it big. The job market sucks as they are carrying a bunch of debt, but I don't think they seem to understand that you need to work a lot of crappy jobs before you start getting good ones. Sometimes outside their field, sometimes inside. The cost of things to do for entertainment like concerts, sports and even basic dining are out of control too, but that effects everyone. Just annoyed at a Millennial in my family who thinks working more than 20 hours is too much because there is no time to do the stuff he likes. Welcome to Adulthood, young man. They don't give you any 4th-place trophies. I know. "OK Boomer" Life is hard. Paying dues is part of it unless you have a life-changing idea.

Detroit Lions 2024 Offseason Thread
Motor City Sonics replied to Mr.TaterSalad's topic in Detroit Lions
It was both. They thought they could re-sign him when even Suh's sister said he couldn't wait to get out. And the bastard wants to come back now that we're good. Screw him. Go punch a baby or something. Great player who cost us plenty of games with stupid penalties. -
