  1. The Lions are 23-1 when where the same coloured tops/pants in the Campbell era. The 1 loss was the game in Dallas where the refs got paid off to screw us. (this was according to TJ Lang on the radio before the game)
  2. Does he know where he's going to? Does he like the things that life is showing him?
  3. Two Scorsese dark comedies from the mid-80's, After Hours and The King Of Comedy. Are you familiar with these films? Two of my all-time favorites, but both were bombs at the Box Office and it's probably why Scorsese didn't do many more comedies - and I think it's a shame.
  4. I went to speak to Kurt St. Thomas about a job at FNX once. The building was in Lynn. It was slightly above being condemned. It was perfect for that station, actually. It fit the whole vibe. LOL Lynn, Lynn, the city of sin. You never come out the way you went in.
  5. If you were an A's fan how pissed would you be that they are finally TRYING now. John Fisher is scum. I'm not an A's fan at all, but I sympathize with their fans here. I can;'t imagine how much it would suck for this to happen to us and how painful it would be as a fan.
  6. But think of the cost difference between Bregman and Vierling. Bregman might cost you 30 mil a year and Vierling would be, what, 4 mil after arbitration. Is Bregman THAT much better than Vierling at this point in their careers? Bregman feels like when you get a new (or new to you) car and it's your new car and it's new and this is so new and exciting and 3 weeks later it's just your car.
  7. I wonder what Bregman is asking for. $33 million per year? Correa money. 5 years ago, sure, but not now.
  8. 1,172,941 meals is the final count.
  9. Predicting Bregman to the Yankees for 7 years, $220 million
  10. I will say enjoy him while he's here, but one thing I noticed after this season is the surprising lack of manager firings after 2024.
  11. The biggest fear about losing my job would be loss of income, but a very close second would be boredom. It would drive me insane.
  12. Sure, but if he isn't stupid with his money the salary he already made this year and previously should be enough to live on. Could you imagine getting even a year of that kind of money? I know I'd be set for life. But I am not one of these foolish people that has to have the best of everything with the need to flaunt anything. I guess I've never had anything to flaunt, but if I had that kind of money I would live pretty quietly and find something to do for a living that I liked doing. If I won the lottery today I would still do my current job. I would just pay 2 or 3 assistants to help with the tedious parts.
  13. Dude played 'em and got his money (probably a big signing bonus). This league takes advantage of these guys and their health all the time, but when a player does it back there is so much outrage. Can't believe he's still on the team as of 9:30am EST today. I wouldn't like it if I was a Niners fan. And if I was a player I wouldn't want to play along side that guy while I am risking my neck, but as far as he goes - he got paid and now it's time to go live the rest of his life, because I am pretty sure nobody is going to ever sign him again after this. I would say The Raiders might because they are The Raiders, but Tom Brady wouldn't allow that now. I remember when Todd Marinovich was a rookie and the QB for the Raiders went down and the coach looked over at him and he shook his head No and they put in the other backup. I think the closest we probably had to this was when Titus Young purposely started running the WR1 routes because he didn't want to be QB3 anymore. He was released after that. I know other Lions players wanted to wreck him. But he had pretty severe mental illness.
  14. but just not Albert Belle.
  15. So now folks want to cancel Band Aid for "generalizing" Africa? Really? Lets not talk about the money raised from the single and Live Aid and Live Aid 25 and We Are The World. Yeah, **** Bob Geldof, he's horrible for doing that. What a horrible human being. Please people, focus on real problems.
  16. Yankees-Dodgers-Mets every year with a couple others popping up from time to time. That's all it's gonna be. Maybe we get lucky and get in for a year or two. The Pirates will be ordinary with Skenes and then trade him to the Dodgers, Mets or Yankees.
  17. When the No Name (That's How I'm Feeling) single came out, our station and WDET were the only one that played it around here. WRIF and Alt 98.7 didn't touch it that first week. That first week it was not on Spotify, it was not on You Tube and not available to buy -- the only place you could hear it was on the radio and they totally blew it. We banged it and made a big deal about it. And the thing that is so ironic is that they both ended up putting it in rotation. Because neither station is programmed in Detroit by someone who knows Detroit. Both of those stations suck and don't pay attention. Couldn't make an exception. Couldn't break that playlist sent by corporate. It's garbage.
  18. The Tampa Bay Rays of the AL Central. Get used to it.
  19. Who was the last Tiger to not wear a number?
  20. Well team, We had a great season last year so we thought we might think about going big this offseason. Instead, we're signing Alex Cobb for a year Sound great, Hackett?
  21. We're quite local. we play a lot of independent Michigan artists and their songs sound great in the mix. I don't know why stations don't support local or regional music anymore (well, I do know, because it takes effort and there is a very tiny risk, and you can't do anything risky ever anymore, right?) Playing Jack White (which we do) doesn't count because he gets played everywhere now. WXRT in Chicago has started playing a lot more Chicago-area artists and it's working great for them. It's not hard to figure out.
  22. Our radio station broadcasted outside in the cold last Tuesday - Saturday in front of Kroger in Ann Arbor to raise money for Food Gatherers in Washtenaw. The effort raised the equivalent of 1.076 million meals (and counting). Passed our goal of 1 million. And it was really really cold this year, and it was worth the effort.
  23. Hey, he shouldn't be pardoned, but dozens of lunatics who wanted to kill people and charged are Capital shouldn't be pardoned either. And those idiots will probably get a Presidential Medal of Freedom. When Trump uses his powers to get himself out of jail or any sentence, I hear nothing from you. He's a Convicted Felon, he shouldn't even be allowed to serve.
