They do the 6:40 home starts on Friday. They offer happy hour drink specials hoping the young professionals start their weekend of binge drinking at the ballpark.
They didn’t move away from the characters. They just don’t do anything of substance.
It would be like if the X Men weren’t trying to save something or defeat someone. It was just a show about a regular day in the life of Wolverine and Deadpool and they just cooked alot and cleaned up a restaurant. The viewer is waiting for something to happen and it just never really does.
They spent the last 2 seasons developing very complex and interesting characters that people want to watch. This season they oddly chose to let them essentially freestyle without any plot or story to engage the viewer. It doesn’t work.
Rumors are swirling the top women’s softball player in the country is leaving Stanford for Texas Tech for a rumored 1 year/$1.2M NIL package. Incredible if true and reiterates how Wild West things have gotten.
BTW, she has two years of eligibility. She can go somewhere else for more next year
Marcus Freeman is an impressive guy. He’d probably be a highly successful leader in almost any industry. Football is its own thing and the jury is still very much out on him. He’s got a QB and a roster that can do special things for him. He had the same last year and it didn’t work to plan. He’s got a friendly schedule and I expect the Irish to be playing for a spot in the playoff when they roll into Los Angeles for the last game of the season.
Rod Wood made a comment this week that Allen Park will remain the Lions home for a long time. Sounds like the idea of exploring a new facility is dead. A likely casualty of the pending Sunday Ticket penalty that all the teams are going to have to pay in the near future.
The Indian community in Detroit is growing rapidly. Drive around Novi, Farmington Hills, and West Bloomfield on Sunday and take a look at the community baseball fields. Cricket matches all day long.
I probably should qualify that I’ve been watching the Hard Knocks: NY Giants that focuses solely on front office activities. Their GM is very much a little bitch when it comes to these negotiating conversations. That’s definitely in the back of my head.
Harris strikes me as a guy more in tune with the scouting and development areas much more than the negotiations and bargaining side of the business. That’s the part that my gut thinks he sucks at. I’m not talking about the entire job as Pres/GM (at least not yet..).
