  1. bulls lose by 30 at home to toronto. giddey had 9 points, 0 rebounds, 3 assists, and 3 turnovers.
  2. better than kevin heurter and a pick swap that might not happen? no way.
  3. these signings are likely the best the lions can do while being good stewards of their salary cap. philosophically, SHOULD they be borrowing from the future to pay for a difference maker right now? some would argue this is their window: goff is still good, amon-ra, sewell, gibbs are in their prime. the lions should go for it right now. as much as we like goff, he's not a transcendant qb who can lead a team to wins despite a weak supporting cast so strike now when you have great players. you cant expect 3 more drafts like holmes' first 3, especially when picking much lower. you have a great base, supplement it and win now. the lions dont seem to want to do that, which is ok. its a different way to build a team and is more likely to build long term success, imo. i dont think you win with a bunch of flashy free agent signings, even if one or two once in a while can make a big difference. was linderbaum that player? i doubt it. hendricksen? too old probably. trade for crosby? probably not worth it. but these signings they are making are solid "guys." they add depth to the core. they dont move the needle. maybe they get lucky and one goes on a huge run, but larry borom and dj wonnum are available for cheap for a reason. to expect great things is to be unrealistic. the great will come from their core if it is going to come. and hopefully from this draft.
  4. raymond replacement.
  5. the wizards are a disgrace.
  6. yeah, cause they desperately need an offensive tackle more than they need a defensive end. there are plenty of de's still on the market.
  7. you like him because the lions signed him. no other reason. he's "fine." he moves no needles. he's a body in the locker room who could be fine next to hutch. that's it. it's a fine depth signing. its no reason to get excited.
  8. an undersized late round project pick who played zero snaps as a rookie? color me unimpressed if the lions go into the season with that as their starting defensive end. or their backup. the lions are a super bowl contender. be serious and go get a proven nfl player. clowney, epenessa, and jordan are still out there. be a gm, brad holmes. not the most clever guy in the room.
  9. of course columbus blows out carolina. because OF COURSE THE BEST TEAM IN THE EAST ROLLS OVER FOR THE TEAM CHASING DETROIT. this year has totally ****ing sucked. all the hockey gods have conspired against us.
  10. i swear to ****ing god these ot rules will end up keeping us out of the playoffs. you get a point! you get a point! you get a point!
  11. the lions defense wasnt great last year even when it was healthy, which wasnt very often. i'm just curious as to why you think a free agent scrap heap bargain basement guy with track record of being injured that was passed over by most other clubs will somehow be a great signing for us.
  12. youre really overrating hutch and kelvin sheppard. what about detroit's defensive scheme gives you sudden confidence that players will suddenly be great when they come here? the defense was not very good last year.
  13. a guy that had a good year in the past but is now always injured? oh good, we've just signed marcus davenport 2.0.
  14. he's a reclamation project, settle down.
  15. 2021-2023 were 3 of the greatest drafts in lions history. 2021 will probably have 2 hall of famers in it.
  16. decent offensive player on one of the worst teams in the league. always has the ball in his hands. he'll put up numbers simply because there is no one else on that team who can.
  17. i think its going to be over 100 this year. too many teams get loser points and the east simply doesnt lose. pittsburgh blew out colorado last night! the next two weeks will probably decide their season.
  18. i dont know how you solve it. make their contracts on a game by game basis? if you arent available you dont get paid?
  19. had to have that one.
  20. kane is still so smooth.
  21. that's a great play.
  22. agreed that this is a must win, but they really are running an AHL lineup out there. THIS is where you expect your top 10 pick marco kasper to make a difference.
  23. given your criteria, amir makled would not be on your list of favorites. i also would love to see less plaintiff lawyers on michigan's board. having a bernstein law family person is bad enough. and i'm not voting for someone whose agenda is primarily running against the university's decision to protect its jewish students from abuse.
  24. both
  25. seattle needs to have a team. sacramento having a professional sports team is ridiculous.
