Motown Bombers

Kind of hard for the Detroit Chief of Police to run ads about how horrible crime was in the city he where he was police chief.

I found an article, not the same one I recall reading, that briefly mentions it. Apparently WCF also offered Reggie Brown an opportunity to be a scout or coach for the Lions. "Despite the disappointment, Brown refocused his efforts on other goals outside of football and in the spring of 1999 he earned his degree in agriculture economics from Texas A&M. With the degree, Brown had a variety of options to choose from including three that had been specifically arranged by Lions owner William Clay Ford. Lion forever Ford had told Brown in the weeks following the injury if he wanted to stay connected to the game he was always welcome to become part of the Lions organization as a scout or coach. If Brown wanted to get away from the game, Ford offered him a position in the Ford Motor Company’s dealership training program where he would learn the ins and outs of the auto dealership business with the hopes of one day running his own. Brown returned to Austin the month following his graduation where he opted for a trial run scouting in the Lions organization. It was short lived. “It was a way for me to get back close to the game, but I don’t think that I was psychologically ready to evaluate other players. Even that amount of travel and everything that went into it, I just wasn’t ready,” Brown admitted. A short time later he enrolled in the dealership training program where he completed it in the required two years. Over the course of the next five years he eventually worked his way up to general manager and assistant to the dealer at one Austin dealership. In that same time he married Patterson." https://www.detroitnews.com/story/sports/nfl/lions/2017/12/22/breathing-reggie-brown-relives-injury/108850952/

No one is determining the value of the protest, only you seem to be doing that. What people are saying is that you can't do anything you want because you are protesting. These truckers are free to protest but not free to occupy an international border crossing and bring international trade to a halt. Nobody would care if these yahoos were protesting in a park.

I honestly didn't even know Occupy Wall Street was still a thing.

Rinke seems to be your new breed of Republican. Born into privilege, inherit the family business that others built for you, claim to be a successful businessman, doing shady things, run for public office as an outsider and businessman.

I live a few blocks from the Rinke dealership. Nobody likes them.

It wasn't shutting down a road, it was shutting down an international border crossing.

Two's company, three's a riot.

Oklahoma and Florida are two examples. https://www.vice.com/en/article/88n95a/florida-anti-rioting-law-will-make-it-much-easier-to-run-over-protesters-with-cars https://www.cnn.com/2021/04/22/us/oklahoma-law-drivers-protesters/index.html When did an Occupy Wall Street protest shut the world down? When did it block an international border for a week?

I agree. Calvin Johnson quit. I'm not sure what exactly the Lions were expected to do? What exactly have the Lions done so differently with Stafford? The ones heaping praise and throwing the bouquets seem to be the fans. Stafford asked for a trade and the Lions granted it. Johnson announced his retirement and the Lions asked him to pay back what he owed.

I recently read a story about how WCF pulled some strings with Ford Motor Company and helped get Reggie Brown set up with his own Ford dealership after his career was ended. That was something he didn't have to do and could have just let the NFL take care of Reggie Brown. I've heard a lot of good stories about WCF taking care of players. WCF was a loyal man. He also expected loyalty in return.

Bush was also one of the lowest rated outgoing presidents and the economy was collapsing. McCain was just too similar to Bush.

McCain lost by 10 million votes. As terrible as Palin is, I doubt she cost McCain 10 million votes. Obama had over twice as many electoral votes as well.

I mean, he's still putting out music using homophobic slurs and ironically the right is upset over his kneeling and the left is defending a homophobe.

Los Angeles not even in the top 10. Maybe they need another team?

I'm not sure what you want from here but I'm not going down this rabbit hole.

I'm kind of surprised at all the support Eminem is getting from progressives considering his history with gays. Usually they want to cancel you if you use the wrong pronoun.

Donald may have been offsides on that play. *Edit* I think this is the 1st 4th and 1
