bobby higginson is travis fryman's kid? well knock me over with a feather...

it's not like edvinnson is setting the world on fire in grand rapids...

guys....its the jets. its not happening.

if the packers are in a "win and youre in" scenario, the networks will take the packers over any team other than the cowboys.

last week the panthers were on a roll to the division title and the lions were the worst team of chokers in the league. this week the panthers are terrible and stupid for blowing draft position and the lions are one win from the playoffs. welcome to the nfl. its a week to week league.

dont jinx it. the browns are lions east.

losing THIS game will be "same ol lions."

to all of you young fans under 50: this is what being a michigan fan has always been like. really great regular seasons followed by a disappointing bowl loss. welcome to the 70s and 80s!

there is something wrong with you.

they'll be signing contracts that tie them to one school for at least two, probably three years. it will part of the collective bargaining agreement...

they kicked me out of the suite for that. well, that and my constant yelling that casey is a hack. they bring back a bulls player from the past for every game. this game happened to be former piston cliff levingston. i dont think my suitemates appreciated me screaming about the dan roundfield trade for 20 minutes after they introduced levingston.

melifonwu starting at safety again is bad news for the lions defense.

andre's fat ass scoring on marvin bagley was just icing on the cake.

we lost.

ohio state is more talented than michigan on paper. them being a 3 point favorite on a neutral field is not surprising to me at all. in fact, if osu beats georgia, i expect that line will only increase in osu's favor.

i still have high hopes for manning. mize was "consensus" #1 in the press, but avila is paid to know better than what's reported on mlb.com. faedo dropped for a reason. that's what i remember reading at the time. jobe is a complete head scratcher for me. mayer was sitting right there and you took a right handed high school pitcher, the most injury prone of any position available, who could allegedly "spin" the ball well. it strikes me as avila learning about "spin rate" last year and then applying his newfound knowledge in the draft the next year. he might turn out to be great, but because he was selected by avila, i doubt it. all this reminds me of the randy smith era. once it became painfully obvious that he was a bad judge of talent, every hyped up prospect became suspect. encarnacion, kapler, munson, drews, etc. all were top prospects with tremendous hype and "prospect rankings." and they all failed to be amything more than average to below average players. after awhile a pattern emerges. the same thing has happened with avila. until proven otherwise, i am going to assume all his picks will not pan out and if harris trades them all, so be it.

it wasnt a criticism and i saw you posted that later. i just wanted my chance to post that the tigers have no organizational strengths. 🙂

if free agents are so overly concerned with the tigers' supposed poor reputation for disorganization, then why did baez and erod sign here? im not buying that. free agents go where the money is for the most part. baseball teams are not the usual corporate structures when it comes to attracting a talented workforce. free agents are going to go where they can play and where they can get paid. the idea that they are really concerned with the structure of an organization is far fetched, imo. that's offseason slow news day talk.

dombrowski traded two top 10 picks to get miguel cabrera. that worked out ok. if harris were to take the dombrowski road, this would be the year of "you try and trade em." the only players who might bring something substantial back are greene and tork based on reputation. i doubt harris is dealing either. so let it play out a year and hope they improve enough to the point where we can trade them for the next miguel cabrera.

i dont think the tigers have any organizational strengths. that's the product of being mismanaged for a decade. put all your eggs in a young pitching basket and sometimes you get justin verlander, but more likely you get kenny baugh, matt drews, kyle sleeth, and seth greisinger.

our old buddy david blough starting for the cards on sunday. get your bets in early.

what's the point in releasing a story like that? does mcmillan want to get fired to collect the paycheck?

early lines on potential finals matchups: georgia -7.5 over michigan ohio state -3 over michigan georgia -15.5 over tcu ohio state -10.5 over tcu currently at michigan -7.5 and georgia -6

michigan 37, tcu 22 georgia 35, ohio state 12

most of belein's giys are gone so this is howard's team now. and its not looking so hot. in his defense (there is no defense for losing to cmu at home), college basketball is a guard run game, and michigan lost both its point guards to the portal and injury. starting a tiny true freshman who can shoot is killing them.
