Who knows. You have to have a screw loose to actually go to this game in the first place.. apologies MichiganCardinal.

This is a classic Lions game. It would be better for their long term interests to lose which is why they will pull off a shocking win. Even in victory they find a way to fuck themselves a little. Lions ML +575

I think Pickett is passing up a huge opportunity to impress against MSU’s weak secondary. I suspect he would have only improved his stock by playing but I also understand being safe and avoiding any loss injury

Let’s say that you grow up dreaming of being a professional football player. This is everything that you prepare your life for from a small child all the way through high school. You spend years of training and personal sacrifice dedicated to become a highly sought after high school player. What are your options to achieve your goal of getting to the NFL? You only have one. You must go to college and play. There is no other choice. The NFL can’t draft you from high school. College is a forced stepping stone for many of these players. The benefit of an education can be tremendous for the ones that choose to take advantage of it but it is not why they are in college. It is a means to their end goal and they shouldn’t be vilified for their decision to move onto the next level as soon as they are able.

That is fine logic but there are still only 2 major college sports.

Bring in the lawyers!

There are only 2 major sports in college.

Thanks. This is a great explanation. I feel for all of our healthcare workers going on 2 years of being on the front lines. They are heroes. I was not aware that prior infection possibly could present no immunity to Omicron. This will be a huge problem. There are millions that didn’t get the shot because they got Covid and felt their natural immunity was not only enough but actually better than the vax (Thanks to Joe Rogan). I really hope these people get their shots asap and don’t end up very sick. I can see the potential nightmare now so let’s hope that results come back that immunity is stronger than first predicted.

Damn. Retiring from the NBA has done a number on him.

I’m super confused as well. Covid hit 2 years ago as a deadly virus that we knew nothing about. They had no idea how to treat it and doctors and scientists had to figure it out as they went. This is not the case with Omicron. We have a heavily vaccinated population and a much better idea on treatment options. The risk of death to people that weren’t already at risk due to age or prior condition is very minimal. Dare I say, it is much like the flu for the majority of our population. Am I wrong here? We should take some precautions but I can’t imagine doing anything on the level of what we saw in 2020.

Looking at all 3 teams, the Lions seem the least likely to win a game

I saw Jim Caldwell’s name thrown about as a possible candidate. I think he’d be great for them as a bridge until they hopefully get good in a few years. He will steady the locker room and has a long history working with hall of fame quarterbacks. He would also probably come cheap to get back in the game.

This seems like a no brainer for Jax to hire Eric Bieniemy. They will probably hire an old retread like Jack Del Rio or Mike Zimmer.

Most likely he stays but he seems like an odd guy that’s really hard to read.

Not sure how this is legal but these are the kinds of things groups of rich guys can come up with.

Until he signs an extension, its still not certain that Harbaugh will remain as coach. I assume Gattis will be promoted if Jim elects to take the Bears or another NFL job.

The best thing Sheila can do is stand back and let Brad Holmes do his thing. Personally, I’m more concerned about Rod Wood and Chris Spielman getting in his way. We also can’t forget that Holmes didn’t hire Campbell. This isn’t a Quintricia situation. These two aren’t tied at the hip even thought they are acting like besties right now. Campbell has time but he’s the one getting cut first if this thing doesn’t show some promise in a few years.

We haven’t scratched the surface of what NIL will become. We are in the infancy. It will completely change college football and the sport will look completely different within 10 years. I expect everything will change including playoffs, bowl games, draft rules, eligibility, transfers, and of course signing day.

I know there’s talk of QBs falling but this is QB league and teams can’t help themselves. I wouldn’t be shocked to see a name that’s far down the 1st round radar like a Willis or Pickett shoot up into the top 6. In fact I kind of expect it.

I had no side effects with my booster. BTW, have you played the new Microsoft Flight Simulator game. It’s freaking awesome. So realistic. Oh yeah, make sure that you use officially licensed copies of Outlook and Excel. I hear there are lots of new viruses being transferred with some of the copycats.

I’m super high on Treylon Burks. My favorite WR in this class. I’m very uncertain on Pickett. Can’t tell if he’s got star potential or is the next Josh Rosen.

University rankings are now based on how much money and/or jail time a parent is willing to do in an attempt to bribe their undeserving rich kid into school.

Is Matthew Stafford a Hall of Famer? My answer is yes but the question probably should be are Matthew Stafford, Phillip Rivers, and Matt Ryan Hall of Famers. They all have the same resume and if you take one then you have to take them all. They will all get in. Big Ben is very similar to these 3 but this is where his 2 Super Bowls separate him and have him already in as a lock.

This franchise needs to keep doing exactly what they are doing. It may be painful but a 2 year tank is really what was needed to tear down to the studs and start with a new foundation. Not only was Goff necessary for the extra picks but he’s proven to be the ideal QB for a team needing to lose. Dan Campbell is from the same cloth. Great attitude to keep guys motivated . The players absolutely love losing for him. His lack of acumen just about everywhere else as a head coach also plays right into the tank. All of this will fall on Holmes but so far his returns have been solid through one draft. He’s also done great finding street free agents. They don’t need to suck worse next year but landing with a top 5 pick and picking up a stud in a better crop of QBs would set this franchise up to become a contender. It is going to be amazingly hard to be a fan of this again next season but we’re Lions fans so we can handle. I really think they are only 2 years from being a franchise that is in the playoffs every year.
