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.

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.

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.

The Tampa Bay Rays of the AL Central. Get used to it.

Who was the last Tiger to not wear a number?

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?

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.

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.

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.

My Person Of the Year is Karen McDonald, Oakland County Prosecutor for her team prosecuting Jennifer and James Crumbley. She may have started something. She may have set an important precedent.

Have to hope for the Soto thing to flop hard because if this is the cost of top ballplayers, then what, 26 or 27 out of 30 teams will never ever have a chance to land these type of guys.

Wonder if any of them tried to storm the Capital and kill the Vice President or Speaker of The House.

perhaps he's letting the whole industry know it. Who knows the motive, but it appeared to be quite planned and targeted.

Just saw some thing about what Diddy's life is probably like in jail - because he's housed in one of the worst jails in America. I was speculating to myself about how foolishly arrogant Diddy was. Not that I would ever behave in the way he did, but if I had heard the Feds were about to crack down on me, I'd have been on a plane to a country without extradition and I would have been bribing the head of that country to keep me there. Oh, I know he tried to escape, but he waited way too long. He thought he was untouchable, and my guess is that he'll Bribe Trump and Trump will pardon him, but the second I heard there was anything was up, I would have been gone. What about all the other big names that were part of the "Freak Offs"? Why aren't they being arrested? People knew about this **** for years.

When you work in an industry that routinely screws people over at their most vulnerable, don't be surprised with a desperate victim or family member of one lashes out. Just read a story about the denial of a life-altering surgery denied over and over because of precise wording -- even after pleas from doctors trying to save this teenage girl. It wasn't United Health Care, but they're all the same. Insurance is a racket and always has been. When guys with Italian names in striped suits do it it's considered illegal. Universal Health Care would eliminate much of that, but we all know that will never happen here. Oh yes, and the Canadian and English systems are far from perfect, but is anything actually perfect? Our system sure isn't.

Carolina almost beat the Chiefs last week. They are playing respectable football this season. I don't like their chances to slow down the Eagles this week, however Rooting big for Sunday 1pm Kirk Cousins of old to go back to Minnesota and steal one from his old team. This morning I am watching a low quality video of the first Lions game I remember going to (I guess I went to a game when I was 6 or 7 at Tiger Stadium, but I don't remember it). The game? Eric Hipple's first start vs. The Bears on Monday Night Football where the Lions absolutely destroyed the Bears 48-17 and Hipple had a monster game with 4 TD passes and 2 rushing TDs. We thought he was the QB we needed.

Well, another 3 years in the minors and maybe Cossa will be ready.

Yzerman got lucky with Tampa Bay.

Ah. Been working at a fundraiser all week out in the cold, I hadn't seen that it was done. I thought he'd get more, actually.

Why did someone find that funny? I think this is a good call actually. I think it's a bit low. 7/200 maybe. But a lot of people are saying Giants for him.

Jose Quintana Walker Buehler Jose Iglesias TRADE? Don't see much happening there.

I have grown completely tired of hard drives, external or otherwise, frying and me losing a ton of music and having to rebuild music libraries (not totally, but covering the last 3 months). I am looking for a recommendation for a good cloud storage program for music files -- so I can access the music from any computer. Your thoughts?

PUT IN STOYKO !

I disagree. Good prediction, but was it Bold. Skubal was a favorite from day 1

Well, you can to Detroit. Did you get a Coney?
