jimmy butler is an ass.

copp/1st round/wallinder would be a dream deal for detroit. buffalo would likely want kasper or cossa. but who knows!

dude, its buffalo. they also traded jack eichel, and sam reinhardt, and casey mittlestadt (who sucks now but you get my point, right?) buffalo drafts very high every year, mismanages their cap and roster, hires bad coaches, and then ends up starting over by trading really good young players about to enter their prime for draft picks. rinse. repeat. i hope we could pull cozens for rasmussen and a pick. 1) it wouldnt work salary wise without other corresponding moves; and 2) someone else would beat that offer. cozens is signed to a longer term deal so its not like buffalo will lose him for nothing. this isnt debrincat. we'll see. theyre playing pretty well without cozens so maybe they decide to stay put? cozens at $7.1 av is a gamble and perhaps they can get buffalo to take less because of it?

So the department of education says title ix applies to NIL. lol. so now your nil money has to be equitably distributed between mens and womens sports. bwaaaahaahaa. let the cheating RECOMMENCE!

which of those guards would you take over cade?

and they tried to bring kasper up much earlier but he broke his kneecap in his first game.

that's the funniest thing you've said in a while. 🙂

ok. the "#8 overall pick" thing is dumb. who cares where he was picked? he was over drafted. so what? and he got to move up in the draft AND didnt have to suck up salary cap space to pay him. great move. now if you'll excuse me i need to go listen to viqueens podcasts to get my daily dose of schadenfreude .

great to see the overrated viqueens lose. also good to see matt stafford win another playoff game!

iirc, most smart lions fans were happy with that trade. not many wanted to make hockenson the highest paid te in football. and the real win was holmes taking the draft picks from the trade.

luka isnt so light anymore. get in shape luka.

this is the nfl. this game is a long way from being over. my $5 rams moneyline is looking solid!

sam darnold sucks. even with an amazing wr corps and a decent oline he cant do anything. the vikings should be running the damn ball all game. too late now.

luka light. imagine if we had wemby too like we should have had.

keep him the press box in case someone gets hurt.

napoleon. napolean sounds like the latest alternate meat burger. sam darnold is who we thought he was. i'd much rather play the vikings than the rams or washington.

cowboys are a pretty talented team but are very injured. that said, i dont think jerry picks coaches who could be successful because that will take the spotlight away from jerry jones. he takes milquetoast yes men who the rest of the league regards as mediocre, that way if the cowboys win jerry wont have to share the credit. ask jimmy johnson. maybe he'll finally change his ways? i doubt it but you never know, he's getting really old. it doesnt seem like a fit for ben johnson but none of us really know what he wants. he's interviewed with new england (young qb, stable front office, not a lot of talent on the team), the bears (young qb, average talent, stable but horrible ownership), the raiders (no qb, some young talent, no gm, terrible ownership...but tom brady), and jacksonville (youngish qb, some talent, potential gm roadblock, and bad ownership). there's no real pattern. everyone speculating on what he might do or want is just guessing. would jerry hire deion? he's not thought of as a football savant so that's ok with jerry, but he's also famous and would be the most spotlighted coach in the league. so not ok with jerry. if the pattern holds, jerry will hire someone obscure who he can push around. if it doesnt, he could look to ben johnson as the best candidate available. i wouldnt be surprised to see someone like jim caldwell turn up in searches. quiet, minority, not seen as a threat, experience, some success in the past.

i guess the cobb teams of 07-08-09 could also be a mini dynasty. but they got caught up with the A's and then the ruth yankees toward the end of cobb's run.

the dominance of the yankees really distorts this. the tigers arent that bad when you consider the competition. yankees 27, cards 11, red sox and A's 9, dodgers and giants 8, pirates and reds 5. then the tigers. ahead of the cubs and sox, orioles twins/senators, and indians. the tigers really havent had a dynasty. the closest was the greenberg/gehringer teams in the 30s and 40s who had 4 world series and 2 titles in 11 years from 34 to 45. other than that its really been one offs. 68 and 84. those teams never achieved dynasty status because of the yankees and the 80s group underachieving. the other group was the cabrera/verlander teams that never won it all and probably underahieved, especially 2013.

thanks troy

now this is more like it! all of us who trashed yzerman - me included - maybe we need to tske a step back? i dont really believe that for this offseason (which was awful), but maybe the idea of bringing in vets like chairot, compher, copp to play with young draftees was the right choice after all? and for those of us who clamor for larianov or fedorov or some new hot coaching prospect, maybe all they needed was a little old fashioned recycled hockey coach speak and not some analytical based new hotness? interesting run. hope they can keep it up.

cade is more valuable to detroit because he has the ball in his hands.

because of his teammates, not because of him.

scottie barnes is very overrated. has been from the day franz wagner whooped his ass in the ncaa tourney. is he better than cade now that cade is actually healthy? i hope even a contrarian sob like you would say no.

remember when people said scottie barnes was better than cade?
