Motor City Sonics

Ndamukong Suh of the Lions drove a nice car that he hit some guy with (Exit ramp from Southfield to Rotunda) and then fled to the Lions practice facility where Lions security intervened and called the cops who then threatened to arrest the victim of the hit and run. Of course, nothing ever happened to Suh.

Don't need him. We got Nido !

I started my current job on May 9, 2023 and I have not taken 2 consecutive days off since then. I do some work from home during the weekend. We're pretty short staffed so I really can't. But I have not taken a week off at all. Even when I had Covid in Oc........sorry, ROCKtober 2023, I did not take a day off, I worked from home for 3 weeks. Really only felt terrible for one day, the rest was like a bad cold. I probably shouldn't do this. I could just hit a wall. But the thought of not having goals to reach or distractions to fill my attention is downright scary to me. Scarier than the prospect of having my Social Security taken away. I am a pretty depressed person and I need things to focus on. I could happily live pretty frugally. I don't care about having the biggest and best things. My car is 10 years old now. It runs fine, as cool as an electric microbus would be, I don't really need it. It's the unfilled time that's so scary. That's it - retire and then LIVE in a VW microbus and travel around, do the Major and Minor League stadium tour. Get a sticker from every major and minor league team and put them all over the microbus. The Baseball Bus !

Congrats. I love my job, so right now I can't imagine retiring. I'm 60, so I guess I will have to start thinking about it, but I don't know that I could stand it. What would I do with myself? I would be totally lost. I'm very work-driven now. My hobby and my job are basically the same. My dad couldn't stand it. He went and got part time jobs moving cars around for Enterprise. I don't even think he cared about getting paid - he just needed a goal. How will you fill the hours?

Best trade in sports history? Both teams got what they wanted. Lions got a fresh start and man has Brad Holmes taken advantage of it. I'm not giving up on Goff. Look at how great Lamar is and he can't get to the Super Bowl either. I do think it'll happen at some point in the next 2 seasons for the Lions. They may not got 15-2 again, but just get into the playoffs...........I think the Lions are better suited as a bit of an underdog anyway -- fits their personality. Please develop a good pass rush beyond just 1 guy.

That was a stupid play, but if it had worked we'd be marveling at the genius of it. That was how they got to 15-2, doing crazy stuff like that. Why change? It just didn't work this time.

Team loss. A lot went wrong. Ben was just part of it. It was the defense more than anything. When you score 31 points in a playoff game, even with 5 turnovers, you should win the game. The defense had been teetering on disaster for several weeks and the team was able to overcome it because they played inept QBs. But when they played QBs who were cool under pressure, they folded. They could only hold so long with half the defense being backups. Now, that's not really an excuse. The failure, at it's core, is that their pass rush was a one-man endeavor and that guy went down in the Dallas game. Smith was not nearly the factor we'd hoped he'd be. They have to solve that. That's their offseason. If they can solve that and hopefully get health with the D-Line, the Secondary would look a lot better. No secondary is going to hold for over 5/6 seconds a play.

I feel like they are just better when people doubt them. Kind of like Dantonio's Michigan State teams.

What happened before any of our players were alive doesn't mean anything.

Hey Lions fans, I'll say something that won't make you feel so bad about last night's game. 1 - Every day you wake up you are one day closer to death.

This reminds me of the 1996 Red Wings. They set a record with 62 wins and didn't get to the Finals Sure, they regressed a bit in the regular season, but then the March 26th game galvanized them and they won it all I see something similar with the Lions. The Lions are the type of team that almost has to be an underdog to be comfortable. 3 losses all year - all were at home. If you think this is the end of their run, you are nuts and you don't know what you're talking about. This team will have at least 3 more years of very good football and hopefully fewer injuries. If Brad keeps drafting the way he does, it'll be more than 3 years. Sure, it stings. PAIN IS PART OF THE PROCESS 31 fanbases end the season sadly, we're just one of them. Now - please - anyone but the ****ing Chiefs.

Pistons lose Wings lose Lions lose All the young Tigers stars - please stay at home all weekend.

It was a tough one. They had so many injuries that a week off seemed like the ticket, but the momentum kind of stopped too. Too many defensive injuries. Ran out of plugs for the leaky boat.

Fire everyone. Trade everyone. Fire Holmes. Dump all the players. They'll never win another game again.

I will still take this over an endless parade of 6-9 win seasons.

SAME OLD IDIOT.

Give me a break. The most moronic take ever in this section of the board.

The injuries finally caught up to the defense and they just had nothing left. But remember. The Pistons had some agonizing losses before they won the whole thing The Red Wings made the Final, got swept, set a record for most wins the next year and didn't make it and then won the whole thing. Pain is part of the process. Hutch, Alim, CD23, Barnes, Rodrigo, Davenport, just way too many injuries to overcome.

Wow, Defense is toast. Helpless

Wow, lots of giving up here. We've seen this team come from behind several times this season. Hope the team doesn't quit. Doesn't look like they have.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Oh, Caitlin Clark was in the suite with Taylor Swift? Just give the Chiefs the trophy already. Why bother playing the games?

Hey look - there's Blake Griffin's parents again ! Hey - and there's Brenda Warner ! Hey did you know Matthew Stafford and Clayton Kershaw were on the same little league baseball team?

Hey, the NFL already has the sports fan on lockdown. They need new eyes, especially young female eyes on their product. It may not be scripted, but the field leans a certain way, doesn't it Now, this should help the Lions because they are the most popular team to watch, so it stands to reason that the NFL would want to tap into that energy.

Those people who don't normally watch football and just want to watch for the many shots of Taylor Swift in the suite want to see them in the Super Bowl again and the NFL sure knows it.
