So based on last year's final ranking before the bowls, the 12 team playoff would have been......... (12) Ptt @ (5) Notre Dame (11) Utah @ (6) Ohio State (10) Michigan State @ (7) Baylor (9) Ok State @ (8) Ole Miss Second Round vs. (1) Alabama vs. (2) Michigan vs. (3) Georgia vs. (4) Cincinnati Do they re-seed in the second round ? If they re-seeded it could have been Pitt over Notre Dame, Ohio State over Utah, Michigan State over Baylor and Ole Miss over OK State that would have meant (12) Pitt vs. (1) Alabama (10) Michigan State vs. (2) Michigan.............could you imagine? (9) Ole Miss vs. Georgia (6) Ohio State vs. (4) Cincinnati Wow, what a weekend that could have been. I still think there should be a 4 or 8 team playoff for the Group of Five teams that don't make the playoffs.

So I would guess that with the call ups of Carpenter, Baddoo and now Kreidler, that Daz Cameron's time in the Tiger organization is over. That would mean that for Verlander the Tigers have a catcher who is still recovering from Tommy John, A pitcher who, in 5 seasons, has thrown 52 innings and has an ERA north of 7.70 and this year walked 29 hitters in 25 1/3 innings and an outfielder, who has hit .236 in AAA and .201 in limited time in the majors in a situation where he could have been given every opportunity to stick.................You know, this team needs to re-hire Al Avila, so they can fire him again.

It reminds me of the face boss Norm made up on Cheers so it made it sound like he wasn't actually doing the firing, but letting people know as the nice guy. I think it was Kreitzer. Then the company owner told Norm that Kreitzer wanted to meet him. So Norm had to fire himself.

Come out swinging Joe, that's what people want. We've had enough of these assholes...............go on the offensive and don't fucking stop. As Baldwin says in Glengarry, Glen Ross............"Get MAD, you sons-a-bitches".

That's not Woody Allen. It's Bruce Springsteen

In Dearborn there was no thunder, it was that wind, it was nuts for about 15 minutes.

I've met a few people from Grosse Ile. I have no sympathy for them, especially their cops.

like the people who live next to a river and complain about how it floods all the time.

A bigger and bigger Pet Peeve is having to listen about poor Phoenix and Las Vegas running out of water. WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU THINK WOULD HAPPEN? To paraphrase Sam Kinison............YOU LIVE IN A FUCKING DESERT..........AHHHH...........Come here, come here, you see this, this is sand, you know what it's going to be 100 years from now............SAND ! AHHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHHHH

Welp, most radio stations that played Arcade Fire are no longer playing Arcade Fire after accusations against Winn Butler. I have mixed feelings on this. If we start dropping every artist that had bad behavior toward women, there probably wouldn't be very much left to play. We all knew Ryan Adams was a prick, but had no idea how bad he really was. Seems the same here. A lot of people knew he was maybe not the greatest guy, and well, there are hints and allegations of just how bad he was.

You know what.........for Boyle and Blough it was theirs for the taking on Sunday. All either one had to do was look competent with the First Squad and neither did. Don't know of Sudfeld would be better and hopefully we don't have to see him for the first 3-4 weeks while he gets the offense down, but the two backups just couldn't get it done. Weren't they a combined 0-8 as starters? Sudfeld never started a game. He shouldn't get anything batted down at 6-6. I am guessing they'll sign Blough to the practice squad.

Gustnado in Macomb County..................Spinning at the surface, but not part of a thunderstorm, no updraft. The rest of us had a minor Derecho, which is much more destructive widespread than a tornado. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NY1AaIbXa8E

I feel very fortunate I did not lose power this time. That wind was nuts.

Cooper Rush for backup QB?

gonna have to wear the glasses at all times around her.

When you rub Lucy's belly she starts to flail her legs around (in happiness) and she got me right in the eye this morning, the good eye (I'm functionally blind in my left eye). This happened with another dog once, but it was worse - that put me out of commission for a few days (can't drive or read with my left eye). Silly dog.

Well, with a healthy Jared Goff this team could go 7-10. Without Goff, probably 2-15 or so. They need to pay attention to the releases this coming week. Boyle & Blough just aren't very good.

Funny how Dazed and Confused makes me feel so nostalgic though I didn't graduate until 1983 and I got bullied a lot throughout school because I was small and looked young for my age. I hated it, but I am nostalgic for it. It's strange. Maybe I just long for a second shot at youth, and for a time where things didn't ache so Goddamned much.

Oh, and the commercials on TV and cable that are not supposed to be louder? There's a catch to that. The first second of audio is not supposed to be louder, so the transition is not so startling. The rest of the ad can be louder though. They did cut down the amount of higher volume it could be, but it's still there, advertisers have a lot of pull.

That might have a lot to do with the processing actually. The broadcast of the game is coming from one place and the commercials are coming from somewhere else and radio has added secondary filters to process the sound. They now have their signal processed to sound good over a radio and the streaming version, which usually runs different commercials is processed to run on smaller speakers or headphones. The commercials are often coming from a third party server who does not have special processing to make it sound better on the smaller speakers or headphones, so it comes out as overbearing. It's not intentional, but it's also fixable but nobody is in a rush to fix it.

Here's a Pet Peeve that I think is universal. When you break out the grey duct tape and try to find the line where the end of it is. Then you have to try to pull the tape without ripping the tape (ripping it lengthwise). it's very frustrating.

We'll be back with the Magic Tones for the Armada Room's 2 hour disco swing party after this short break. Until then, don't you go changing.

Wait, the Rangers ditched their really cool stadium for THIS?

Maikel Franco..........................why the hell not? He'd be our third best hitter.
