Motor City Sonics

Everybody seems to be feeling that this one is going to be an easy blowout. I'm not sure. I mean, it should be, but the script writers find a way to keep these one interesting.

There is a player or even two out there that the Lions could acquire with 4th/5th/6th round picks that they frankly don't even need. It's like that Charlie Parker song "Now's the Time". I agree on holding on to 1st and 2nds - they're going to need a starting tackle. I have no doubt about that. Decker's at the end. Plus, since they seem to be signing everyone, they are going to need some cheap contributors. There is a pass rusher and a defensive back that can help this team out there that won't cost a top draft pick. T.I.B. Trust In Brad.

Dodgers just won this thing

That could not have been closer. Wow.

Whoops. Meant to put that in the football thread. I was right on that one.

That call in the MSU game. I don't know, I feel like that needs to be investigated. Total screw job by the refs there. And the call comes a minute after the play? Somethin' ain't right.

Wow, Underwood could have run for a first down but then throw side-arm, against his body momentum for a pick. Wow, now THAT'S a Freshman play.

McCauley should have caught that on the sideline

I think this Purdue game is going to be way closer than most people think. I don't know why. Just a hunch.

Is Indiana better than Ohio State? I don't really think Ohio State has been tested this year. Texas has been their only real test this year - and they really didn't blow them away at home.

Yeah, it wouldn't be a surprise and I wouldn't be surprised if he's already told Brad and Dan that he's done after this year. If they win the Super Bowl, he's absolutely done.

The Ref screwed the Kings last night. That Kasper goal should not have counted, the stick was high. And I don't think the Kings player really interfered with the goalie in OT. Scripted.

The Governor of Louisiana spending any time or energy firing or picking football coaches kind of makes you understand one of the reasons that Louisiana is considered the worst or usually bottom 4 states to live in. Every passing year I pay less attention to college sports - because it's just so disgusting. You've got people that starting Saturday aren't going to know where or how they're getting food, and states are spending money to pay off fired football coaches for not reaching unrealistic expectations. As far as this idea that the buyout won't come from state money - do you really believe that? I sure don't. I don't care about Brian Kelly, he's a piece of **** of a human, but he gets millions and someone will give him more and he'll keep being a piece of ****. The thought of Declan Sullivan's parents apologizing to Notre Dame is just so twisted.

Asking if anyone knows. During the upcoming 2027 lockout (I think we'll lose the whole season). What happens with every player on the 40-man roster? Are any of them allowed to play in the minors? I'm asking because if McGonigle or Max Clark have great years in 2026 at Toledo and it seems as if they can be called up, would it make sense to call them up only to cost them an entire season of development in 2027? I think the best-case scenario for 2027 is starting AFTER the 4th of July. This one is going to be nasty.

Yeah, the script writers did a great job.

Looks like we've got a critic !

I hope the script writers gave us a good story for this week.

It was Robert DeNiro, dude. He did it.

I think Tackle will be the first round pick in 2026 - because even if Decker does come back, he's not going to play much longer.

Wow, JJ McCarthy better be ready. The Lions are going to throw everything at him. Who is the Viking backup now? The Lions would need to sweep the Vikings for 18 years to have a better record. Wow.

The NFL is fixed. The NFL is rigged. We been had, we been took. We been hoodwinked, we been bamboozled. This should be GOOD for the Lions. The Lions are the team that brings the most fans to road games. The Lions get tremendous ratings when they are in spotlight games. A lot of people would love to see the Lions go to the Super Bowl. Finally. I think a lot of people would love that for the Browns, but the Browns get in their own way too much. But make no mistake. There is no even playing field in this game. The research must show that certain teams winning means more money. But this is just a shade more legit than wrestling. That Eagles-Giants game. The fix was in.

Minnesota's season is riding on this next game. If they flop, the season's over.

When your teammate gets run and you just stand there and do nothing - you're getting benched.

I missed this game, I was next door at the David Byrne concert, but watching the highlights now............Mickey needed to take the night off - sounded like absolute crap.

That must have been one hell of a 2nd Intermission speech by the Todfather .
