I don't even care anymore. I can't say "Michigan Wolverines" on the radio in Ann Arbor even though my company and the station down the hall broadcasts their games and is actually the flagship and UofM the biggest employer in the state and owns the most land in Ann Arbor - because I could be sued by the NCAA for violating their trademark. Now, would they sue me for talking about them playing a big game in passing (not promoting an event)? No, they wouldn't, but they could and that's enough for me to say to hell with the NCAA and anything they do. I won't talk about them anymore - in freaking Ann Arbor. So got.damn stupid.

I think an issue for Tork is that he might not have been ready last year in April and then they dropped him into the middle of a horrible lineup. I think they weighed on him quickly (would for anyone). Is the lineup better this year? Well, to be honest, could it be worse? Is it even possible? Not looking forward to Tyler Nevin-Laga at first, but Andre Lipcius seems to be a wild card right now. He rose quickly last year, having a nice spring so far and he can play everywhere. That OBP seems to be exactly what the Tigers need (if he can do anything close to that at the next level). He might be our new Harold Castro piece, but he actually takes pitches.

Not giving up on him, but I think making him earn it rather than just making it automatic might be good for him.

Should Spencer Torkelson automatically make the team for Opening Day?

Yeah, but she danced to a Phoenix song in college...............what a scandal !

DC absolutely should have 2 Senators. It's criminal that they don't. No rights !

I am not disappointed in the moves, but enough now with the gathering draft picks. Time to do something big next offseason and be in an absolute playoff run next year. We keep waiting and waiting and waiting (on all of our teams). Time to be bold.

you need two. Husso's been great this year, but I don't know if that continues long term.

Just saw that a Joe Montanta jersey sold for 1.2 million...........besting a Tom Brady record. I expect Brady to unretire with the Dolphins now.

But this is it. No more "but look what they have". Next year they have to make a big step forward or it's going to get hard to keep positive. They need to spend some cap money on the best goalie available. Time for the waiting to end.

No.

Wouldn't be shocked to see Bertuzzi go to Edmonton or Minnesota.

October would be 3rd or 4th if November didn't come after it. It's a beautiful month.

Opening Day is not official for me until the home opener.

Swallowing air. You ever accidentally swallow air? It's painful as hell. How do I get that wrong? Been breathing since Decmeber 25, 1964 but somehow still screw it up.

Those BASTARDS !

I like March. March bring Spring. March brings Daylight Savings Time. March brings baseball. March is alright. I rank March 8th on my list of months 1 - September (not too hot not too cold 2 - June (Summer is a beautiful word) 3 - May (May brings us closer to Summer) 4 - July (it was better when we had thunderstorms) 5 - April (Opening Day, Baby) 6 - August - (I like the hot summer) 7 - October (only ranking it this low because of what comes after) 8 - March (the reasons I listed ablove) 9 - December (the holiday season is a'ight 10 - November (only thing saving it is Thanksgiving) 11 - January (sucks) 12 - February (so many bad words about February that decorum prohibits me from listing them here) So in my rankings we are going from 12 to 8 to 5 to 3 to 2............

I thought you were a bad typist but I see what you did there. Least favorite month is gone, to be replaced with 8-10 inches of snow March 3rd, which will probably completely melt by March 8th.

I just saw an interview with Rick Spielman and he probably wouldn't draft him (with the fear that he could spend time in jail).

Can you imagine drag racing in downtown Ann Arbor? Doesn't seem like a good place for that. Downtown Athens is very similar (I've lived in both places). Just so dumb.

KCs back up is now and will remain Shane Buechele

I watch/listen a lot of routine court and judges talk about that issue quite a bit actually, about the rise BAC on typical arrests in the last few years.

But it seems to me that while it's always been an issue, that drinking to excess is far more common now, overdoing it is more common.

And young people are stupid. I was too at that age, and if you give them lots of money they tend to do bigger, stupider things.

Remember, the Lions drafted Reggie Rogers, who drove drunk and killed 3 kids. I know that was over 30 years ago, but I think that might be a factor in avoiding someone who did this. And yeah, the story got buried. The SEC........it just means more. Drunk driving where a death is invovled and a misdemeanor ? You know what? I want to propose a ban of all drunk driving PSAs. Those PSAs are full of shit. How many people get multiple drunk driving arrests and still are out there? Those PSAs are meaningless. And is it me, or is drinking because a much bigger problem in the last 10 years?
