  1. meh. dont care.
  2. no, the option belongs to the tigers (unless it vests by him getting mvp votes, which it wont). the tigers have the option of paying him $32 million in 2024 OR paying him $8 million not to play for them.
  3. unless the team picking #1 needs a qb. then they'll never trade the pick.
  4. he can toil away in obscurity and sleep on a big pile of money.
  5. im not counting out melifonwu....but im certainly not counting him IN either. he's done nothing but be hurt and wasnt real effective when he did play. they cant all be winners.
  6. adios mexico!!! it didnt happen, but seeing mexico eliminated because theyre a bunch of dirty players would have been the chef's kiss to this world cup.
  7. defending al avila as the hill you choose to die on is an interesting decision.
  8. oh messi. messi, messi, messi.
  9. you have no idea...
  10. brugler new mock has us with jalen carter at 3 (passing on stroud who went 5) and joey porter at 13 (passing on levis who went 14).
  11. i'd be really really surprised if any team signs williams as a #1 back. teams would rather take a chance on swift than williams.
  12. pulisic's goal? it was clearly onside. not sure what angle you were looking at.
  13. i think that's probably overrating touchdowns. but i dont know. i just think that's way too much for a rb who isnt a game breaking, field stretching nightmare. its really a shame swift is a pansy, cause he's such a great weapon for those seven or eight plays a year he isnt injured. i actually think the lions will take a running back this year because williams is a free agent and swift has hangnail issues.
  14. they gave up 60 points to south carolina. that had nothing to do with their qb.
  15. the pistons. THAT'S how ugly the pistons are playing right now. they make clyde look like he's still fashionable.
  16. i'm shaking my fist at a cloud as we speak.
  17. i remember stories about denny mcclain grooving a ball to an ancient mickey mantle who could barely hobble around the bases, much less play first base. people still talk about it and write stories about it. were people at the time clamoring for tony solaita or andy kosko and pissed the mick was blocking them? i'll take the half chance of seeing miggy do something cool. youre not going to tell your grandkids you saw willie castro hit a triple in a 6-2 loss in another meaningless september, but you might tell them about the time you saw the great cabrera hit one out just one last time.
  18. you can be bitter and upset about miggy being on the team, but i dont see the point in getting upset because an all time great in his last season is supposedly preventing some average player or below average lottery ticket from getting at bats. yes, i am old and crotchety and dont like "young people", why do you ask?
  19. i dont think williams is going to get a big contract offer from anyone and the lions should not be the team to give him one. williams is a nice bruising back. he's a product of the lions having a good offensive line and a good play caller more than any real world beating ability. re-sign? sure. for something similar that he has now. anything more and he's free to go. plenty of bruising backs out there to play his role.
  20. i just picked mike laga out of my memory as a guy who had a lot of local hype. it could have easily been chris pittaro, matt brunson, gabe alvarez, milt cuyler, gabe kapler, etc etc etc. i have definitely not lost faith in tork but my expectations have been lowered. every tigers prospect picked by the avila regime is suspect to me (except greene, i really like him). that said, dont listen to me (not that you would), i dont follow the team like you guys do. but it seems to my uneducated mind that i've seriously overrated the tigers' prospects for a while now. fool me once, shame on you, fool me with ten beau burrows, shame on me.
  21. i'd pay to watch miggy bat one more time. and i agree with the posters who wrote that how you treat your icon players matters. you signed him to that stupid deal and now you have to live with it. besides, i'd rather see miggy bat and strike out than fawn all over the next mike laga and make excuses for the next five years when he cant hit.
  22. the simplest solution is for usc to win. im all for that. if usc wins and tcu loses and osu jumps tcu, THAT would be a travesty. i do not want to play osu again. and i dont think they deserve to be in.
  23. swift is too talented to let go and too injury prone to count on. poisoned chalice.
  24. tua is a system qb with a smart head coach. lawrence has an amazing arm but isnt surrounded by the same system tua is. lawrence will be fine.
