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..).
My gut is that Skubal doesn’t get traded but if he does it’s not for the Godfather deal we are all expecting. Harris makes an underwhelming deal that most Tiger fans think is way too light.
Something along the lines of what @Greg Pappas was suggesting a few weeks earlier that we all balked at. 1 of a Basallo or Mayo and much lesser prospect. Not both of them and definitely no Holliday in the deal at all.
I just have a bad feeling that Harris is a little bitch at this stuff and just kind of sucks in general.
Can’t say that I had that on my F1 bingo card. He’s probably a really good guy to get it off the ground. May not be a bad move as long as they replace him right around the time they are trying to win actual races.
Team USA has won its final two Olympic warmups against South Sudan and Germany by a total of 5 points.
Maybe its them effing around and they’ll turn it on in Paris but I wouldn’t be totally shocked to if they didn’t come home with Gold.
This waste of a post citing someone like MTG or her ilk isn’t worth me taking the 3 seconds to look up the link to the picture so just imagine there’s a photo of Jean Luc Picard holding his face in the palm of his hand.
