  1. I don't know, maybe it's too early to call, but I think Seattle won that trade.....................at least, that's where I am leaning.
  2. He also did a version of We Three Kings for the movie "Scrooged" and Bill Murray walks past him on the sidewalk in one scene.
  3. Since last year's trade deadline, I think they're record is something like 5-50
  4. Can't blame it on Cade. Dude is ballin'
  5. Watched Maestro today. It wasn't what I thought it would be. I thought it would be about his music career more. I liked it and was floored at how much they made Bradley Cooper look like Leonard Bernstein. They did an amazing job of aging Carey Mulligan too. They were both outstanding in the movie. The R.E.M. song that name drops him makes a brief cameo too, LOL.
  6. Just last year, when Riley went down they suddenly fell into the abyss and lost 9 straight. even if they just win 4 out of 9, they're a .500 team. But it's those horrid starts 2021: 9-24 2022: 9-23 2023: 2-9 Can't do that again. Just start me out around 10-12. Still in the NFC North hunt with that record. Oh, sorry AL Central. Minnesota lost 2 starting pitchers. The Guardians have a new manager. The White Sox are completely dysfunctional and The Royals had their moment 7 years ago. I think the Tigers are targeting 2025 and beyond as far as their peak goes, but that doesn't mean they can't win this lousy division in 2024 on their way up.
  7. We've said this the last 3 years and it keeps happening.
  8. only if they avoid another horrible start. That's the key right there. We know once they get into the season they are okay, but the last 3 seasons those terrible starts had them out of it before Memorial Day. If they want to even pretend to contend in this weak division, they have to be, at worst, 2 or 3 games under .500, not something like 9-22
  9. But not as much as Mike Florio
  10. oops, the game was at San Francisco and it was actually the last game of the season. I thought maybe they had one more that season.
  11. I remember the 12-4 season with Wayne, when they had to win their last seven. I think the Bears were on Monday night football (were they playing the Bills?) and ABC was cutting back to the Lions watching the game at a bar (no dancers present) and when it was certain the Bears were going to lose, one of the players lit a victory cigar for Wayne, I remember the network cutting to that. So of course when the Bears beat the Lions in Chicago the next year, when Wayne was walking off the filed a bunch of Bears fans were lighting victory cigars in front of him as walked into the tunnel.
  12. Everything Bo did is tarnished to me because he knew about Dr. Anderson, but not only that, he intentionally kept him around. I've soured completely on him now. He died before he ever had to answer for it, so I guess it worked.
  13. Big 2 Little 8. Didn't seem to win big games against other conferences, no national titles and pretty consistent Rose Bowl losses. They weren't as good as we thought they were, but compared to everything else around here they were.
  14. I just want to see (through my television) the atmosphere of a home playoff game. People haven't had this opportunity in 30 years and if it isn't the most electrifying atmosphere in all of football, I'd be absolutely shocked. Might be the Seattle again and that scares me a little bit, but if you can't beat Seattle at home, then you don't deserve to move on. Beat Seattle or the Rams at home as #2, and you get a second home game - and even as a #3, I am not sure the Eagles or Cowboys win their first game, so the Lions could still get a 2nd home game. If I had my guess the playoffs might end up 1 - San Francisco (face it, the Lions aren't catching them). 2 - Detroit vs. 7 - Seattle 3 - Phladelpha vs. 6 LA Rams 4 - Tampa Bay vs. 5. Dallas I would LOVE it if the Lions were the only team in the North with a winning record.
  15. That 70s era is when I started paying attention to sports. Surprised I didn't give up. All our teams were dog****. Only thing interesting in that era was Mark Fidrych and that was too fleeting.
  16. We had a great run for about 30 years where at least one of our teams was in it - a team that was in the playoff hunt or at least a really good team. Now it's only the Lions. The Tigers are at least 2 years away, the Red Wings are treading water and still lacking something that Yzerman needs to figure out NOW (no more excuses, it's time now) and the Pistons, well, to quote the Walking Dead "Just look at the flowers, Pistons, just look at the flowers". If you jettisoned them to Seattle or Vegas, very few people would miss them. They aren't even interesting anymore and there is no end in sight, because Gores is in it for the investment and he's doing just fine. 1983-1988 Tigers 1987-1992 Pistons 1994-2008 Red Wings 1997 Michigan Football 1999/2000 - MSU Basketball 2003-2009 Pistons 2006-2014 Tigers
  17. The last time they won a division my body didn't ache all the time. That's how long it's been.
  18. Oh, and one more think **** YOU FLORIO
  19. because the NFL is scripted. It's all fake.
  20. Jack Campbell, you gotta make that stop, man. Lets not get Nick Mullins a huge contract, please. Lets not get Matt Flynned again
  21. That's on the refs. That holding call was ridiculous.
  22. Holding on a play where the reciver would have to be 7 foot tall to catch it and BRANCH, you gotta catch that, that was a pick 6
