  1. A little love for Marvin Jones Jr please..........his block sprung that play.
  2. Hutch gets held more than a teddy bear.
  3. There is a point when to get excited and if you do it all the time, not only is it annoying but it doesn't describe the game. One thing I have always appreciated about Dan Dickerson is his general excitement when someone from the other team does somethin exciting too. That's pretty important actually and a lot of broadcasters weren't crediting the other teams impressive feats.
  4. Underappreciated in America gem from the late 70s. Top 10 in the UK. Never forgot this song. Andrew Gold was a great musician. By the way, this song, allegedly, is about Saturday Night Live's Lorraine Newman, who Gold met when Linda Ronstadt played on the show. He went back to L.A. and wrote this song about her.
  5. Always felt like "Don't Tell A Soul" was this. Hey guys, you recorded the stuff for your album, now go away and we'll put it together without you. I don't even know how much of the final mix of the album that came out back then was actually The Mats playing. It just sounded too clean. But also, when I saw them on their final tour (in that time frame) they sounded much better as a band than I had ever heard them before. They were fairly sober at that point, which probably had a lot to do with it. They were not speaking to each other at that point and the show ended when one of them, it might have been Tommy, looked at his watch and said "well, that's 90 minutes........good night" and they walked off, lights up almost immediately. Pure Mats. They ended that night with the song I.O.U. ("want it in writing, I owe you nothing"). Well, I guess they meant what they said. It was always something with them, that was part of the appeal.
  6. If I remember correctly, Mitchell got picked on the same play twice, including the OT Pick 6. It was the Bengals, right?
  7. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of a Paxlovid binge.
  8. Wow............incredible dumb and bad throw by Minnesota's QB there. Reminded me of Scott Mitchell's last 2 passes as a Lion (vs. Cincinnati).
  9. not doubting it at all, but just tired of both sides. both are wrong and this will never stop.
  10. We got all kinds on my street and yet, shockingly, everyone gets along and actually looks out for each other. And this is in Orville Hubbard's old racist town. Go figure.
  11. So sick of both sides. Neither one will ever be right and they'll never stop.
  12. Just as I post that, they get an INT !
  13. The whole thing is that if you are looking for The Next (Blank) than you're already behind the curve. This happened in the 90s with Alternative Radio. Everything had to sound like Pearl Jam. Even Pearl Jam couldn't stand it. Portishead comes along with Sour Times and I put it in the playlist right away. Consultant lost his mind. Listeners LOVED it. This is this mentality in radio that your station should be wallpaper - just exist in the background, not really getting attention. It's such a loser mentality. ` I want to put a station on the air that makes people believe they might actually miss something good. It only takes 1-2 songs an hour to build that
  14. You can't stop here, this is Wolverine Country !
  15. LSU's defense might be historically bad. And Brian Kelly killed a kid.
  16. One of those cases where a major record label falls in love with a band and signs them and then for some reason wants to change them and interferes. This happened to Spoon and they bought themselves out of their contract and stayed indie. Why sign them and change them? Never made sense to me.
  17. I've listened to plenty of Richard Hawley music but until this morning, I hadn't heard this. Have no idea why. It came up as I had the Spotify randomizer based on Lisa Hannigan on............This song is brilliant. It's just about perfect (because the perfect song does not exist, because that would be impossible).
  18. "...........there's also a negative side" Woke up feeling about 75% normal today an sinues are mostly clear. I CAN BREATHE THROUGH MY NOSE AGAIN. Energy still isn't there yet, but it's Saturday and it doesn't need to be. The Tylenol has yet to kick in and that always makes me feel a couple notches better. Still got that little bit of sweat on my back that you get when you're sick. When that goes away I'll feel like it's over.
  19. not sure. he doesn't look out of place at all. it's possible that the days of parking guys could be over. If this team stays healthy they could be a surprise this year. But of course, we're Detroit, so we know key players will get hurt right away because we can't have nice things here.
  20. Because he was just talking to you about baseball, he wasn't trying to sell you anything and that's why Dirks is so good. Just talks baseball..........that's all we want. C-Mo is unlistenable. Just stop trying to cheerlead..........do it when it's the right time. That's one thing Rod had down (Ohhh Jackson!). I know they'll use Gibby part of the time and I don't mind that, but you can tell that those Parkinson's meds are draining him and I hate hearing him struggle. Petry's alright. Maybin is alright and sounds better now than he did the first few times I heard him nationally. Jonesy is interesting. Not polished, but it works, but it wouldn't work 160 times. We don't even know who's gonna carry them next year. Bally's is going to survive another year?
  21. He was very good. Would it be weird with his dad's firing? I am guessing Dirks & Scales on a rotating basis and if Curtis Granderson wants the TV gig, he should get it, but I think he''s got other things going that a bit bigger than baseball, doesn't he?
