♫ To everything (churn, churn, churn). There is a season churn, churn, churn And a move e for every roster that you're building ♫

Even though I am a big fan of indie rock, "alternative", punk, post punk, proto-punk, classical, old school soul and funk, trip hop, dream pop and ambient, psychedelic rock, sunshine rock, Brit Pop, 60s, 'classic rock'/ I have a soft spot for Yacht Rock and I am no longer ashamed to admit it. Go ahead, make fun of me. I don't care, you like what you like. But if you can listen to Lowdown by Boz Scaggs and tell me that the musicianship in that song (the members of Toto) is not top-notch (especially Jeff Porcaro's drumming), then I don't know what you are hearing. Anyway...........this British guy Dan Croll, who I think nobody hear has probably heard of because most radio people don't even know him (I know Tigerbomb knows who he is), has kind of this Yacht Rock for the 2020''s vibe to him, and he does it very well. I am home sick from work with some kind of gastro hell virus and I was listening to this song from last year and it has one of my favorite uplifting key changes of all time. The uplifting key change is one of the key elements in so many hit records and this one is fantastic (at the 2:45 mark). I mean, the guy looks like Paul Pfiefer from The Wonder Years, so he's never going to be accepted by the cool people (the reason rock radio wouldn't play Girlfriend by Matthew Sweet is because he looked to nerdy - yep, that's a fact, stupid, ain't it? -- and I heard that from two rock PDs). You can keep Modern Country and any Hip Hop after about 1990. Don't need them. Not for me. If you like them, cool, great, but to me both genres are stale.

He does what Jim tells him to do - and little else. Look at the condition of the Athletic Department. Scandal after scandal. He's a joke. When Jim leaves (next week), Warde should be shown the door. I do not want this guy picking the next Head Coach.

don't look up.

Tigers have just announced an extension for Miggy. 3 more years, $112 million.

I just don't get it, because the Emmys seems to have a problem with the show too. Rhea Seehorn has never been nominated, which is ridiculous. The nominations are based on a performance in a single episode and Michael McKean didn't even get nominated for the Chicanery episode. Are you kidding. That was a brilliant performance - in 10 short minutes.

Maybe add Manchester, England or Dublin, Vancouver, Montreal, Monterrey Mexico, Berlin, Frankfurt, I mean, Rog wants the international games, well here you go, and nobody loses a home gate to play overseas. I would say Tokyo or Sydney, but the time difference is so extreme that you'd really be throwing the two teams' schedules off.

So our 17th game this year is the Baltimore Ravens. Detroit vs. Baltimore might be a good fit for a game in Memphis, Knoxville, Happy Valley, maybe Toronto. I could say Columbus, but fuck Columbus.

I just turned 58. All I can say is that most of everything is bullshit, but what the hell, I know this now, so I am not gonna let it break my stride. I just wanted to find a way, any way, to reference Matthew Wilder on this board and now my work is done.

With the imbalanced schedule...............I was wondering if, instead of having a home/away imbalance at 9/8 or 8/9, why not have 17 neutral site games. 2 or 3 in London, 2 in Mexico City, 1 in Germany then some markets that don't have NFL football like Toronto, Orlando, San Antonio, Salt Lake City.........play some games in college stadiums.

You've been lied to your whole life. The sooner you accept that, the sooner you can move forward.

HALLE-FREAKING-LUJAH !!!!!!!!!!! I knew it wouldn't be much, but it needed to happen. The dimensions were ridiculous. They were playing in a canyon.

Hey everyone, it's "We Talked To A Black Guy Week" in the NFL.

I don't know why the Golden Globe voters seem to hate Better Call Saul, but Bob Odenkirk lost to Kevin Costner (great inside joke in there). On his worst day Bob can act circles around Costner.

Not that this matters in the grand scheme of things. Let me get this straight, ESPN's final NFL Power Rankings has the Lions at #15 and The Packers at #13. What the fuck? We beat 'em twice. You can stop kissing Aaron's ass, ESPN, nobody likes him (just like nobody likes you anymore.

College Football is a southern sport. Far more recruits come from the south, and while southern recruits do play for northern teams, the southern schools have almost all southern players. That's okay. we won the Civil War and that is more important.

Michigan would have given them a better game, but they didn't take TCU seriously and the coaches got cute early in the game.

So what? Chicago at #1 is not going to draft a QB and even if they trade that #1 pick to a team that needs one there are 3 or 4 top QBs out there). Plus, if it ever comes out officially that they sacked him for WINNING a game, I would imagine there will be punishment. I hope that happens. I hope they lose a draft pick over it. Take that #2 pick away from them. You can ask guys to knock their heads in for 3 hours and then not TRY to win when you have the chance. If you can't draft a future star at #2 then.......oh wait........it's the Texans, never mind. That team is a fucking disaster all the way around.

Go ahead, Repugnantcans - go after Medicare and Social Security............I dare ya..................you think the Abortion issue hurt you? LOL, just wait.

Why? We beat him twice this year and we swept him a couple of other times. I think they're fine against him now. Rodgers to the Lions is what Ohio State used to be to Michigan. Rodgers won't be back anyway, he looks fried. That ball he threw up that KJ picked off in the 4th quarter was like a Zach Wilson throw.

Easiest prediction ever.
