  1. But. like Iverson, he is is poison. Absolute poison.
  2. What team is going to want Kyrie Irving? Why would any team take on that kind of headache? He's like Allen Iverson, a ton of talent, but a team-killer.
  3. The Edgewater Park site today
  4. I'll even go a little MORE Detroit. Does anyone remember Edgewater Park? When I was in 3rd grade I was still going to school in Detroit at a school called Palmetto (name of the street - the building is still there, abandoned, of course). We did a field trip that spring to Edgewater Park. It was the first time I had ever seen the ride The Rotor. For those too young to remember, you would climb into this cylander, maybe 8-12 kids at a time, stand against a wall and it would start spinning. The centripetal force would make you stick to the wall like velco and the floor would drop down and you'd be suspended in the air agains the wall. The Ride operator had a hose.........to spray kid puke off the floor before the next spin. Totally unsafe in about 1,000 ways........it was the 70's.
  5. Name things that only people from Detroit would truly understand. Places, traditions, commercials, sayings I'll start
  6. The TLC network. TLC means The Learning Channel. That is what it used to be, but it bothers me that it still carries the TLC brand because every promo I see for their program is like a document of the downfall of America. Total garbage programming. Actually worse than what MTV has become. If that's learning, it sure explains a lot about our collective I.Q.
  7. Wow, that is VERY surprising for the E-Street Band. WAIT.........YOU WERE WRONG. THE FIRST SONG OF THE ENCORES WAS DIFFERENT ! Wow 27 out of 28 songs in the same order except for that. Quite odd.
  8. Hi there, I am interesting in starting a message board for music to go along with the Sunday radio shows. I don't know, it could be embarrassing, the lack of participants or it could help promote things. Who hosts this board? How much does it cost? Who invented liquid soap and why? (bonus points if you can tell me what movie the last question comes from)
  9. I don't know how denying a liquor license for having a Drag Show is the least bit Constitutional. That hatey shit didn't play in the 2022 elections and it won't play in 2024. STOP FUCKING HATING ON PEOPLE YOU DON'T LIKE AND HAVE A FUCKING PLAN FOR SOMETHING.........ANYTHING THAT MAKES SENSE. OWN THE LIBS is not a platform. Not a successful one anyway.
  10. I have been a fan of two British bands for more than 30 years and I haven't seen either of them and they are coming to Detroit tomorrow. I can't wait, this should be a great show. (and I want a poster of that graphic below) -- And I refuse to look at setlist because I don't want to know what they are going to play
  11. Scene................Voice to text
  12. You've seen Jaws, right? There's a seen where Chief Brody's son and his friends are on a little boat in the "Pond" and the shark is in the pond and there's a guy in a little rowboat and he says "Hey you guys, you guys okay over there?". That guy makes me think of Mark Fidrych every time
  13. I think the Jets really are going to get Aaron Rodgers now. Aaron Rodgers in New York might be the most intolerable thing in NFL history. If Brady comes out of retirement (and I totally don't rule it out) I think it might be the Dolphins for a few reasons. The Stephen Ross-Michigan connection, It's fucking Miami, Tua is one hit away from the end and that's going to happen this coming season (unfortunately) and Miami will need a QB to step in and I think Brady would LOVE to have a couple of shots at Belichick and Miami already has the talent. Derek Carr? Well.........the options are going to be the Saints, Packers, Jets, Colts, Commanders, Panthers and Rams (if Stafford retires). I think the Jets get Reogers, I think the Colts and Panthers go young QB high in the draft. Carr's most likely teams would be the Commanders, Saints or Packers.
  14. By the way, Andrea Riseborough's episode of Black Mirror had the darkest twist of all at the end. It was the episode set in Iceland (you know the one). To me, just about every episode of Black Mirror is better than most movies. There's been a couple of clunkers, but not many. I think one of the things that make it such a great show is they don't sell out for a happy ending. I think two or maybe 3 episodes had happy endings.
  15. So, the powers that be in the entertainment industry seem to be upset that Andrea Riseborough got an Oscar nomination for a very small indie film called "To Leslie", about an alcoholic that wins a lottery and loses it all. Why is this upsetting? Because these big studios and big time agents spent millions of dollars to campaign for their clients to get a nom and this little indie with hardly a budget gets one. So they are considering changing the process now? All they are doing is turning this movie into an underground hit and now she IS getting the attention she deserves. There could be such a backlash to this bullying (what about all those Anti-Bullying messages, Hollywood?) that she winds up pulling an upset out of spite. Conventional wisdom would suggest Cate Blanchett is a a shoo-in for Tar, but I don't know, I think a lot of voters might want to give the system the finger and vote for Andrea. Wouldn't that be something?
  16. Wait,The Cards were 1-7 at home? YIKES
  17. The NCAA needs a colonoscopy so we can finally figure out what's up their asses. Go away, you're pointless.
  18. Houston has a lot for a new coach to embrace...........starting from the bottom, lots of draft picks, lots of money, but wow, they are run so poorly. I hope Ryans is not another one-and-done.
  19. Brock Purdy's career is in jeopardy. He will be out 6-8 months, but it could take longer. A feel-good story went sour quick.
  20. My retirement plan (who are we kidding, I'll probably drop dead while working) does not involve a flag with red, white and blue in it. It's either Green White and Orange or Red and Gold.
  21. He's only 23. Seems like he's been around forever. Do you think Al Avilla is calling Dave Dombrowski and saying "Hey Dave, did you see, 4 of mine are on the list, imagine what I could do for the Phillies !"
  22. give me a ticket for an aeroplane. ain't got time to take a fast train.
  23. So bad that some schools in Texas are replacing Slavery with "Involuntary Relocation"
  24. Jim Harbaugh and his constant bullshit. Just leave. My life will be just fine without you.
