when is the last time the red wings and pistons were both in first place at christmas?
-
might be the best win of the season. they got outplayed in the second, but didnt give up ans stayed with one of the best teams in the league for the rest of the game. fix the third pair at the deadline, get kane back healthy, KEEP RAYMOND AND LARKIN HEALTHY, and maybe you have something...

anthony davis is owed $54 million this year, $58 million next year, and then has an option for $62 million thr yeae after that. when he'll be 35 years old. the dude is always hurt now. no. no. no. no. i dont care if he makes you better when he plays, HE NEVER PLAYS.

bama-oklahoma and miami-a & m both do big ratings. 14+ the other two games were 6.2 and 4.4. because no one gives a **** about tulane and james madison. enough already, ncaa.
-
"with an nba return on hold". bwaaahaaahaaahaaa. the dude who sat out a year for "mental health reasons" while collecting a $30 million pay check is never coming back to the nba. check yourself marcus.

it would be more encouraging if it werent done mostly on the backs of the ahl veterans down there.

can someone stop brad holmes from trading up for projects? and please remind him of his 2021-2023 mojo. since then, the drafts have been middling at best. the lions have now entered the phase when their team is becoming very expensive. they need draft capital to fill roles cheaply. they dont need to trade multiple picks to get brad holmes' newest vanity project. offensive tackle should be their #1 concern. those dont come available in free agency like iol do. which means i fully expect the lions to draft a weakside linebacker in round one.
-
those ratings just remind me that the east is there for the taking, the lakers are forever overrated, and many of the pre-season favorites are struggling but will likely turn it around if they get healthy. and there are some bad, bad, teams out there.
-
he's won 8 games wherever he's gone. and with an offense that is not what michigan has been doing for the past 10 years (ignoring the "speed in space" fiasco). i'm probably too hard on him. he might be better with michigan's resources. that said, is michigan THAT much better of a job than penn state? i think it's a better job, but enough to make brohm change his mind?
-
and the one that isnt is the maple leafs! whoo hoo!
-
i'd rather take a chance on an assistant coach.
-
i dont mind the idea that a team cant win the lottery two years in a row. or cant be top 4ish two years in a row.
-
as long as you have a draft, you will have tanking. the purpose of the draft is to distribute the best young talent to struggling organizations. it still does that.
-
i would be against john harbaugh. he's not a college coach.
-
locking lottery positions after march 1 will lead to MASSIVE tanking until february 28.
-
i'm excited to see buium too.
-
asp is fine. his defense is bad as a 20 year old rookie. that's fine. most are. he'll be ok. i'm happy he's in the nhl and learning.

Week Sixteen: Pittsburgh Steelers (8-6) @ Detroit Lions (8-6)
buddha replied to MichiganCardinal's topic in Detroit Lions
This is the saddest i've been as a lions fan in a really long time. it feels like the window is closing. otoh, a one year blip happens a lot in nfl history. this could be just a blip for them. now, the fact that the LIONS had a window at all is amazing. but ragnow's retirement devastated their identity and they havent recovered. the dline is a major disappointment and brad holmes has to take a lot of the blame there. the lions have a lot of talent that is still in its prime. the best rt in football. maybe the best rb in football. the best slot receiver in football. a very good pass rushing end, a very good mlb. some safeties who can play. getting mcneill healthy will be key. getting a cb who can cover and stay healthy for a year is important. but getting someone - ANYONE - who can rush the damn passer consistently is the most important thing. this year isnt over yet. there's a non-zero chance green bay loses out and the lions win out. its plausible. but the way the year has gone is a real disappointment. -
again, he shouldnt have fired him then. however, he is RESPONSIBLE for what happens while harbaugh was here. if i were Ad, i would have kept harbaugh and likely would have deserved to be fired for the moore fiasco. with that said, i would like to think i wouldnt have hired moore. but if i did, i would have no truck with being fired over the outcome. especially after the juwan incident(s). i could take my nice severance package and go on vacation.
-
he was responsible for the program when harbaugh was the coach. he negotiated a lower salary with harbaugh after covid. regardless of whether he could have fired him in 2p23, he was responsible for keeping him following 2020. as such, he is responsible for what happened. he's also responsible for it simply because he is the AD and is responsible for everything in the department. especially in the marquee part of that department. the moore hiring and retention is 100% on warde manual.
-
when he was drafted, gistisberhere was his most likely comp is he panned out. those of us dreamers like me were pining away for erik karlsson 2.0...but when karlsson was asp's age he was already an all star. when he was 21 he won the norris. i might have been a little ambitious.
-
kelly tripuka would be lighting up today's nba with his great mid range game and stylish perm.
-
i really think buium would be in the nhl if he hadnt gotten hurt.
-
its the nhl. guys just get recycled over and over again. bergevin seems uniquely bad. he was terrible as montreal's gm. i think the only good players he ver drafted were cole caufield and mikael sergachev...and he traded sergachev for jonathan freaking drouin.
-
if you believe in hockey analytics...asp has been very very bad at defense this year. no matter who they put with him.
