  1. Great timing for the Pistons. Not so much for Propsley.
  2. Strong day from Lando. Tough one for Max. 31 race point streak is over.
  3. Wouldn’t surprise if this was the biggest move of the offseason.
  4. I expect him be really good for 2 seasons and then unexpectedly turn to complete dog water for seasons 3 and 4.
  5. Fingers crossed they have Alan Ruck announce the pick wearing the Gordie Howe jersey
  6. Have to assume he’s high on the Wings list as Stevie has a boner for hometown kids.
  7. I want to see JK play a manager in a baseball movie. It would be sacrilegious to redo The Natural but it’s Hollywood so they probably will. He’d be perfect in the Wilfred Brimley role.
  8. I’m necessarily taking about any specific Tiger prospect but it seems like we may need to change expectations on what constitutes rushed up. 5 players picked in the top 15 in last years draft are already in the majors with less than a full year of minor league ball. 9 players from the first round are already up from 2023 draft. Granted these are all college drafted players but the world is definitely changing. The time needed to season up prospects in the minors has been sped up.
  9. Those speculated names are nice but our next Fed Chair is definitely coming from Fox Business Channel.
  10. Hate to be the bearer of bad news but CB Bucknor at 1B tonight means he’s behind the plate tomorrow. I am already frustrated.
  11. He knows what he has to do. The Knuckle Curve needs to be better. He’s been dominant when he’s just off the plate with it. The past couple starts it’s been so far short of the plate that nobody is even thinking about hacking. It puts him behind in the count and makes his fastball and slider much more hittable.
  12. The politics of Gaza shouldn’t have anything to do with the mayoral race in NYC. The immigrant population of the city is a heavy majority Caribbean and South American. They don’t care about it. The constituents that care are the large Jewish population and they are on the opposing side of the issue from Mamdani. He’s taken a personal issue and made a large talking point against his campaign policy. This is a problem for him that shouldn’t exist. He’s got to find a way to move completely off Gaza and not make it any issue moving forward. That’s going to be hard to do since the right will be doing everything they can to keep it on the front page.
  13. So good to have Joe D back in the league. I’m not sure why they made this hire usually leads to not sure why he made this move.
  14. Steve Yzerman is not making any big trades.
  15. I’m not sure there’s a taking head that annoys me more than Brian Windbag. This includes Steven A, Shannon Sharpe, and yes, even big Perk.
  16. Rick Carlise thanks “Pacer Nation” in his post game. Cmon man. There’s no nation. It’s the state of Indiana. That’s as far as the the fanbase goes dude.
  17. Wasn’t expecting that
  18. I think this game is coronation of their entire season. I expect Indiana to come back down double digits in the 4th to win their first title.
  19. Brooks is not a Phoenix type of player. He actually plays defense.
  20. I think our disconnect starts with the premise that I don’t think the Pirates have a chance to win anytime soon. I want to believe that their front office sees that. They suck and aren’t even playing any young players, which all the other mlb teams that suck are at least doing. They are a small market team and the only way they can ever get better is to build from their own farm system. That farm system is average to weak but its strength is starting pitching. Trading their most valuable asset would get them prospects to become the top farm system in baseball. One trade would take them from a very weak future to one that suddenly has some forecastable potential. I also believe both the term and dollars of Skenes controlled contract makes him even more valuable on the market. They can ask for even more because of the favorable contract. There is some added value to them if they choose to move off his very team friendly deal which I agree they ideally wouldn’t want to do. Again, unless Skenes asks out (which he really has no leverage on), I don’t see them making a trade. It’s a big, bold move and the Buccos aren’t a big, bold franchise anymore. They chances are definitely more than zero and it may actually be the right move for them to make
  21. Dear Leader is going to speak to us momentarily
  22. I’m sure the Dow Futures will love this move.
  23. I don’t think so. This isn’t your normal trade deadline all-star. This is a generational talent. He’s a 1-1 pick that’s lived up to that and more.
  24. He was using dog weeks
  25. That’s not required in an Authoritarian Dictatorship.
