bobby wagner and marcus williams seem like pipe dreams. people talk about aaron glenn and i get that, but glenn is going to be a head coach somewhere else next year most likely. i suspect williams will sign with whatever team breaks the bank for him. do we want the lions to break the bank this year?

players dont like to miss checks. when it gets into serious check missing time, the majority of the union will cave. none of the issues they were squabbling about were serious enough to make them want to miss anymore checks.

i dont think this is true at all. i think juwan has been a really good coach and running pro schemes. the problem this year was roster construction and they were left with no wing players, only freshmen. houstan turned out to be "just a shooter." they lost two and a half nba players off last year's team and replaced them with true freshmen. we'll see what they look like in the near future, but juwan isnt going anywhere unless he has another meltdown.

cutting him NOW is beneficial to the player, right? i read this as the lions doing flowers a solid. if they dont designate him a post june 1 cut then his cap hit is split between this year and next year, if he is a post june 1 cut it all goes to next year. right? i could have that wrong. if so, and theyre taking more of the cap hit this year, maybe it indicates the lions are going to spend more next year when flowers will be off the books and the peice for cutting goff is lower? not sure.

deal done.

i hope you have learned your lesson, young fella.

the best thing to do would be to just program an agorithm to do it without any other consideration than population size. each district must have x amount of population and be geographically contiguous. but that wont happen because then you cant take race into account and people will complain that the computer is racist.

that is not an insignificant difference in bonus pool money.

rid this team of almost all vestiges of bob quinn's regime please. the days of low ceiling, high floor guys is hopefully over.

if so, he should be a june 1st cut.

nice job, jinx. please dont post that michigan is lock for the tourney even if they lose.

nobody can trade for him until they know what they league punishment will be.

blashill doesnt know what he wants from lines.

i joke, but i really cant stand gerrymandering and would hope one day it is gotten rid of. and "independent commissions" arent really "independent" either. its a conundrum that i dont have a solution for.

under the current ruling from the evil supreme court, michigan's system is just fine. but i'm sure snidley whiplash will be around to make sure the will of the people is frustrated (if the "will of the people" supports democrats) or will be around to make sure the constitution is thwarted and a blatantly unconstitutional (i.e. republican) map is granted.

i hope so. i hear issac paredes is hungry.

ok. i read some stuff so now im an expert. 😉 i would say it would not. the constitution gives the power to the legislatures to do as they please. if the legislature votes to give that power to an independent commission to make the maps, they can do that. in fact, the sc has found that if the people change the constitution through amendment to have an independent commission draw the maps, that counts too (although that sounds shaky to me). as long as the "legislature" approves the method, and the method doesnt violate any other law like equal protection, due process, etc, then it should be ok.

honestly, that's more you applying a liberal doomsday scenario than an actual opinion expressed by any sc justice.

i dont know, that's why i asked him which decision he was talking about. i havent really been following it.

what are you talking about? the decision to let the pro democrat maps pass without review?

oh no! not the ministry of gender equality and family!

8% inflation and rising.

no.... ....maybe.

i would take deshaun watson in a heartbeat on the lions. hopefully the price gets so low they can make an affordable trade.

if you only knew what athletes did, you wouldnt want any of them on your team. lol.
