Motor City Sonics

Okay, they answered. Green Bay's defense might be worse than ours (and that was not a good throw by Goff). NOW STOP THEM

What's with Dan Skipper lining up eligible and going in motion? Seems a little strange. Brock Wright on the outs?

The offense is so good.................I guess just try to win every game 45-42

Quay Walker with a PI call. Surprised he didn't go shove one of the down marker guys after that.

The next Packers series will tell a lot.

Baltimore and the Chargers showed the rest of the league what to do and the Lions haven't corrected it.

Again, the idea that the defense could win a playoff game is laughable.

They ARE the dinner.

Wow, you talk about easy.

Right out of the gate.

Ooooh, the throwbacks !!!!!

I'm only here to watch TP's Thanksgiving get totally ruined by the Lions not winning by 40.

Scott Mitchell didn't like it........... REALLY didn't like it. In fairness Mitchell had a couple of really good years statistically, but he was never a leader and the last couple of years he was afraid to get hit (as big as he was)

Without going into spoilers there is something to be gained by watching in order. Younger versions of Season 1 characters in Season 2 and things like that. But there are a TON of Coen movie references throughout the series, like the hallway from Barton Fink and the prison escape sequence from Raising Arizona and just a million of 'em (even a few Hudsucker Proxy nods). And music from other Coen Bros movies is used, but different versions like Lisa Hannigan singing "Danny boy", which was used in Miller's Crossing (in a very similar setting). But watch in order, because Season 1 is so ****ing brilliant on about 15 levels. Martin Freeman and Billy Bob Thornton "you should get the younger boy tested, he seems a little dim" Season 3 connects the least, but there are some metaphysical type of references and even though I didn't like the story much (the villain was more annoying than threatening), Ewan McGregor's dual performances are worth the watch. The bus scene when he's on the phone is a burst out laughing scene.

There are a threads between all of the first 4 seasons. but the stories are independent.

It all depends on how good the scouts Scott Harris hired are. We won't know that for 3 or 4 years, but if they scout well they'll have a steady stream of good players, 2-3 every year coming up through the system - just contributing players, they don't have to be stars, just be positive contributors. For years, going all the way back to the 90s they didn't have that. They did alright with pitching but they had no stream of position players coming up, not even decent backups. Dombrowski & Avila's records were terrible on that. It was either terrible scouting or the scouting was okay and they couldn't develop them. I think it was a little of both. Based on last year- we saw some players really improve, so maybe they have the developmental people in place finally. Torkelson's turnaround was a great sign and I don't think it's a fluke. Two options are spend when you're close and have a 2 or 3 year window or do what the Rays do and always contend, but never get to the top. Since we haven't had a champion in 40 years, I think I'd want the Go For It Now approach, and they did that but didn't bring it home. Still absolutely stunning that they couldn't win it all with those teams in 2012 and 2013. I think it would get frustrating to get really close like the Rays and then ship out popular players. I think it's easier to get away with that in Tampa with their passive fanbase.

Just get in to make our lives far more interesting. I miss having that playoff knot in my stomach.

Of course not, and that's a bear of a division..............just get in and anything can happen.

Lots of IFs in the AL Central. Guardians with a new skipper. The White Sox didn't fire theirs for some reason. The Royals will be horrible and the Twins are the Twins. Up/Down, it's their Down year coming up. 90 gets a Wild Card (maybe), 84/85 gets the Central. Just get in.

I think so too, but I think 84 can do it, especially if the Twins lose a couple guys. They just can't get off to another horrid start. The last 3 seasons have been brutal at the start and then in 21 and 23 they were over .500 after Mid May. Other than 2 horrible weeks the Tigers were pretty good (considering the expectation)

I totally forgot about it but my You Tube TV still recorded it based on previous seasons, so I will be watching tonight Season 1 5 Stars Season 2 5 Stars Season 3 2 Stars Season 4 3.5 Stars (I mean, it was set in Kansas City........) Can't wait to watch tonight !

1971: 376 innings for Mickey. 45 starts. 29 complete games. in one season. Wow.

Do we still have a hockey team? Feels like weeks since they played.

Tram's 1987, to me, is right there with them. .343 BA, .402 OBP .953 OPS OPS of 155, 21 stolen bases, 105 RBI and being clutch when it counted.

Willie gave us one of the more humorous moments in baseball as a Cub. It's like an alien being told about baseball and giving it a try without ever seeing how it's done first
