Motor City Sonics

Guess Tina won't be voting this year. 9 years !

Just gonna relieve some tension with this

Come on, Skinny Pete and Badger didn't play that way.

Actually, I like the bye. All the focus can be on the Tigers. Plus the Lions have some nagging injuries and hopefully they can get Ragnow back and a few others can be healthy. I think the Lions are going to absolutely destroy Dallas next week. I mean, more than the Packers did in the playoffs. They won't need any motivation for this game and the Cowboys are doubting themselves. I am thinking something like 45-17

Solving your TP problem

Get a bidet. You'll love it.

B.S. Andy's real name is Andy Irwin and he's from Portsmouth, New Hampshire. The Ibanez from Cuba thing was made up for a more interesting story. Few places are more boring that Portsmouth. Don't get me wrong, it's a lovely town, but boring.

I will see all of you magnificent mother****ers on Saturday !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BONUS PARTY JAM

They can use just about anyone.........just close this out and everyone gets rest.

This team, this ****ing team, man !!!!!!!

Seems like anyone famous, doesn't it?

Was it a firing? I thought he and Norman Lear just kind of agreed to part ways. I think it wasn't over scripts, but how Jimmie Walker acted. Amos couldn't stand the JJ character and thought he was too "Stepin Fetchit" (silly animated black character). He didn't think they focused another on the other characters. I guess it became a firing when they killed off the character. But yes, he stood up for what he believed. He and Normal patched things up and when they did that live Good Times thing a few years ago he played Alderman Fred Davis. Andre Braugher played James Evans Sr -- and I can't believe he's gone. Amos died back on August 21st and it wasn't announced until yesterday. One of his daughters didn't even know until she read about it yesterday. That's kind of strange.

If things go a certain way in November, I'll be living in Ireland this Winter.

John Amos of Good Times (and Roots & The West Wing) has died

Based on the last couple of winters, I would just not even spend the money. If we do get a couple of big snows - pay a kid to do it - you'll slave money. I haven't even attempted to start mine in over 2 years.

Hello...............911? yes, I'm having severe chest pains............

They're trying to kill us.

What is it with closers and this franchise in the playoffs, man !

Its what happens when you have no real friends that can level with you (or level you when you deserve it). A whole life time of kiss-asses looking for money (that he probably never had anyway) Nobody to tell him "Dude, you're being an ass" and having that stick. Dude has never had a true friend his whole life. That's why he act like this.

We do have some cool stuff on the walls in here

I'll save my respects for Dikembe Mutombo, who worked with charities and helped others instead of the guy who threw away his own legacy on bets. That's the thing with guys like Pete - they can't stop "chasing it". They'll sink everyone around them to feed that desire, too. Great ballplayer? Yep. Horrible human? Yep. I know sometimes you have to separate the human from the work, it happens in art all the time. I like some Lou Reed music, but Lou Reed was a horrible person. Same thing for Jack Kerouac - I liked a couple of his books, but a pretty awful guy. I can't separate it with Pete Rose because the bad things he did were within his work. He never stopped with the gambling. When he finally admitted it, he signed his book the next day at a casino. That whole thing with having him place the first legal sports bet in Ohio just infuriated me and cemented my opinion of him. Tone deaf til the end. He just didn't get it. He did it to himself. One day it will come out that Ohtani was the one gambling (it was still illegal in California). Baseball is praying it happens after his playing career. If evidence comes out during his career, it's going to be earth-shattering for baseball. I am convinced they know it was him and are covering it up. Just like Ryan Braun blaming the courier. It's going to come out one day.

I have a feeling that in our lifetime we're going to see quite a few managers that never even played the game - the way it's becoming so data-driven. I can only think of Tony LaRussa right now, but a player-manager? Too much information to deal with for one person to do both now. There is no "feel" anymore. .
