Tenacious D

Jobe at 10, Marcelo Mayer at 28. Somewhere, Al Avila is laughing.

She’s probably only 55.

Ok—I’ll share my 2026 lineup. But no more, unless you frequent and contribute to my Patreon page CF Clark SS McGonigle LF Greene 2B Keith 1B Tork 3B Jung DH Malloy RF Carpenter C Dingler

Seems to me they want Keith at 2B, Jung at 3B.

Slamming Goff broadly (yes, he has some limitations, as do most QB’s) just demonstrates a lack of NFL acumen and I will continue to dismiss. QB is not a problem or weakness for this team, and hopefully Hooker can have a successful apprenticeship similar to what has worked in Green Bay, when we eventually decide to move on from Goff.

Because everyone asked, here is the lineup on August 1, 2024: DH Canha 2B Keith LF Greene 1B Tork RF Carpenter SS Baez 3B Jung C Rogers CF Meadows

There is a glass is half full version of this. We have all of our draft picks and ample cap space. Players will want to come and be a part of this team. And Brad Holmes making the moves, with an ownership willing to invest. Still much upside for our younger players, including LaPorta, Gibbs, Jamo (who showed up yesterday), Branch, Campbell, etc. Goff has the respect of his team and has now proven he can get teams to a conference championship game.

Whoever was going to get cut when he made the team in ST. Just need to accelerate it a couple of months.

Lions faithful went nuts when Brad Holmes walked by.

This. Kind of playing with house money now. Still, will be a ping of disappointment to come this far and potentially fall short.

Will Jung and Clark follow, once they get a bit closer and instill more confidence?

Guess he’s probably making the team this year (though didn’t seem like much doubt). How do you think Greene and Tork are feeling right now?

Wasn’t this the plot for Indecent Proposal?

We’re staying in the city tonight—going to Warriors v Lakers game.

My son and I have seen lots of Lions fans throughout downtown SF today. Will be interesting to see how many of us there are tomorrow at the game.

I coached travel for my youngest son (only one season—the parents were miserable to deal with). Many years of traveling/tournaments for my oldest—it is a summer-long commitment. The teams typically only carry 12 players, because the coaches don’t want to deal with parents complaining about playing time for their son when they shelled out $2000 to be on the team, plus travel expenses and time commitment. As such, the coaches expect everyone attend every game (they need the pitchers/innings), and be flexible if they choose to add additional last minute tournaments at their discretion.

This. Trying to find flaws in Ichiro’s HOF candidacy is nearly impossible. He was elite.

Came across this on Facebook. Any fans of HBO’s “Eastbound and Down” will appreciate this:

And took a bullet.

They won’t be wrong

I’m paying $800 for a ticket to the NFC Championship game. Cause I can’t bring myself to pay this for the Superbowl

I don’t disagree with this. Let Javy be Javy—no idea how much instruction he’s received since joining. And it might have messed him up.

Did Hinch make another winter sojourn to spend time together? I’d rather have Ichiro or Rod Carew make that trip. I do wonder if they have tried to tell Javy that they don’t need him to hit 25 HRs. That he’d be more valuable if he made more consistent contact, at the expense of dingers. He’s strong enough that he would still get his fair share.
