4th would be a real stretch. 7th is better. maybe higher than heilmann?

kaline played a great right field for most of his career and cabrera was a defensive albatross. i'm mr "hitting is way more important than defense", but when youre looking over an entire career and one guy is an excellent fielder and the other guy is terrible, it means something. kaline was good enough with the bat to compete with cabrera even if cabrera's peaks were much higher.

no.

so long miggy. the greatest tiger hitter of my lifetime. for all the bitching about roster spots and minor leaguers taking his spot, and how he's a drag on the team, i enjoyed following him this last year. time to retire for sure, but i liked one last season of cabrera in detroit. adios miggy. see you in cooperstown.

wings b team looked really good. very professional. then again, chicago is very bad. you could see bedard's talent in a couple moves, but his surrounding cast is god awful. granted, they didnt bring the complete A team tonight.

i feel like fields could be a decent nfl qb if he was in a better organization. but he went to a team with no offensive line, who hired a defensive head coach, and who had no picks to support him. otoh, the man just has a lot of trouble reading the defense. if he were on the lions playing behind a good oline with a good coordinator calling a lot of play action passes and designed runs, i think he could be ok. but he's on a horrible chicago team and he's just thrown to the wolves.

depends on whether they get the #1 pick.

i hope not. if so, that's the same as passing on randy moss to draft terry fair.

wings look good. with the caveat that its the hawks.

if the season ended today the bears would pick 1 and 2 in the draft. and still find a way to screw it up.

the vikings turning the ball over so much is such karmic retribution for their luck last year. its awesome.

Lions: Matt patricia's lions were the worst defense in nfl history. broncos; hold my beer.

wtf is boston doing? acquiring another playoff choker?

exactly. people see gibbs in the game and prepare for his receiving and the screen game.

beware the belicheck effect. how many guys go to new england, do exceptionally well, and then leave and suck? dont we remember trey flowers? jamie collins? jc jackson just got benched in LA. i suspect gonzalez is talented, but that he's on a good defense with the best defensive coach in nfl history.

they threw gibbs a screen against gb and he dropped it. as a matter of fact, he's dropped multiple passes this year, slipped multiple times, and missed multiple cuts. he's very talented. he's also a rookie. give him time. montgomery is playing very well right now. by the end of the year, i expect gibbs will be playing better too and get more chances.

cut marvin. he's done.

bump

that first half was the beat half i've seen the lions play in a very long time.

the extortion began when she fiked her complaint. Now we'll find out what actually happened. actually, we probably won't because msu will settle with both of them.

dont do this to us, lions.

looked like an achilles.

cossa looked good until that soft goal.

any news on mazur?

wcf's problem was he didnt have enough of an ego to fire russ thomas. stubborn and dumb are two bad ways to go through life.
