  1. Yet so many of them rely on money from the government.
  2. The Rats live at American, but they prefer to eat at Lafayette. If rat poop is in my coney chili, I'm fine with it because 60 years later no coney dog from Lafayette ever has made me sick and it's delicious.
  3. I have no sympathy for the driver. Either they were texting or they just decided to ignore the warning. They'll probably sue the railroad and win.
  4. He got their votes. He can't run again (well, not as of now), so he doesn't need them anymore. So **** 'em.
  5. Oh, and he's gonna pardon Diddy, too.
  6. We'll be in a Great Depression within 9 months.
  7. Well, not to worry, the neighbors will smell it in a week. They were freeloaders anyway, right?
  8. **** 'em. It's what they wanted. They can choke on it. Well, I guess they can't because there will be nothing to choke on. I don't care about them. The red state ones anyway. Bunch of bigots.
  9. Any cuts to subsidies for oil companies or health "insurance" companies?
  10. Part of me is really upset at punishing the powerless but part of me is laughing at the poor saps that voted for him getting totally screwed over. Don't cry to me about it.
  11. Won't matter. Because here's what happens. About two weeks before the midterms they end Social Security and Medicare. They just end it. Riots in the streets. Martial Law enacted, Elections suspended indefinitely. Book it.
  12. It seems like Bregman could be like Rogie Vachon was for the Wings. Remember all the hype about him coming here? He was terrible. I think about the stadium he played most of his games in and then the lineup that surrounded him and he was part of a well-run machine, but does that mean he is suited to be the leader we'd expect him to be here? That 50 point drop in OBP last year is a big red flag to me. Those 25/26 HRs in Houston might translate to 18/19 in Detroit. I don't think that's worth 28 to 30 million a year.
  13. This argument about rather having an ace pitcher or a superstar position player How about having 3 really good starters and a whole lineup of above average players. That'll take you just as far. If Parker Meadows is the second half guy from last year, when you add Greene, Carpenter and hopefully Max Clark - our outfield looks like it's in great shape. The infield is a bunch of question marks. We don't really know what Colt Keith is yet or if he can manage first base. We don't have any long term player, other than that, in the infield. We really hope that Jace Jung, Kevin McGonigle and Bryce Rainer can all work out, but we typically see that when you have 3 highly-regarded prospects that are a couple years away that you're lucky if one of them turns out to be a good player. If you look at any Preseason Baseball America top 10 prospects list from the past, if 3 out of the Top 10 prospects work out, you're doing an amazing job. Of course, just our luck that just as Rainer and McGonigle are ready to come up in 2027 and be the new Alan & Lou, there won't be a season. I've seen it online about implementing a salary cap, the question is Would you be willing to sacrifice a 2027 season to have that happen? That'll be just our luck, because when you look at this roster, that's about the time everything should be coming together (hoping that Jobe works out and we'll get a good haul for Skubal, who will be getting paid 50 million a year by the Dodgers or Mets.
  14. Tigers have a number and a length they are willing to give and I am sure there is a little wiggle room on the number, but they are sticking to it and so we wait for who caves first.
  15. I think that is exactly what's going on because nobody is coughing up the money Bregman and Boras are seeking. Looking more desperate.
  16. Or his buddies in Houston are trying to pump up his value to the Tigers, who are the only team actually considering Bregman now and the Tigers aren't biting.
  17. Yes they will..........Jackson Jobe will still be under team control for several years.
  18. Tigers are interested in Carlos Esteves, but unfortunately it's THIS Carlos Esteves
  19. Yes, but even before so many went down, the pass rush kind of disappeared after Hutch got hurt. Too reliant on one guy.
  20. Maybe a new D-Line Coach and new DC will help too.
  21. Didn't watch one second today and I won't watch one second of the Scripted Bowl
  22. Please Prove Me Wrong, Josh. Please, for America ! You know this game is coming down to a call by the refs because the NFL desperately wants Taylor Swift at the Super Bowl
  23. Haven't watched a second of football today But, for all the heroics and stats and MVP talk, Josh Allen is just a big choker.
  24. I am rooting for Washington For one reason-- Daniel Snyder is a horrible human being and their success is pissing him off. That's it. And I hate Philly fans.
  25. Someone did, but very briefly. At the very least he should have been knocked on his arse. I am guessing that if it hadn't been the end of the game it might have been different.
