  1. the lions left hall of famers' careers incomplete because they have always failed to hire a management team that could bring them sustained organizational success. period. the term "ruined" is open to interpretation. the sentiment of making fun of the lions' organizational ineptitude by stating that you dont want players you like to come here because the organization will always be a failure should be a joke we can all share in. its the nature of internet message board posters to argue incessantly over what the term "ruined" means. that silliness aside, realizing the lions have left talented players' careers unfulfilled in terms of organizational success is not disputable.
  2. i'd rather pass on a qb this year and wait until next year when we pick in the top 5 again. use this year to get your myles garrett/jj watt at #1, then get your obj at 25, get a quality safety or lb at the start of round 2, and get solid depth in round 3. use your two #1 picks in 2023 to trade up for your qb of the future.
  3. the way some people defend the lions no matter what is hilarious. theyre the worst franchise in american sports history. yeah, theyve had some great players whose careers have been squandered in a history of failure. just embrace it and stop arguing just to be a contrarian. william clay ford ruined this franchise. now that he is gone, they have a shot at becoming a good team. be happy. but dont be stupid and think they're actually not a tire fire of a franchise.
  4. stafford will not be a hall of famer without playoff success.
  5. the isles are such a boring team. regardless, good win. and all those in attendance get a free "i saw rasmussen score" t shirt.
  6. as a gun owner, what law could be passed that would have absolutely prevented sandy hook other than outright prohibition on guns?
  7. i saw fieger once in court. he was walking in the hallway in a purple suit with sunglasses on surrounded by about five young lawyers trailing in his wake and basking in the glow of his slimy smug satisfaction. juries like him though. he gets the biggest verdicts in michigan (most of which are reduced substantially on appeal). him getting the democratic nomination foe governor in michigan has to be the lowest point in democratic politics since the state voted for george wallace.
  8. that seems like a lot of money for a guy who profiles as a third line winger.
  9. yeah, we totally ruined jeff okudah! now he sucks! take that fuckeyes!
  10. i think there are parts of the libertarianism philosophy you probably agree with. im thinking of the social part of "let people do what they want." that said, i dont subscribe to libertarianism either and think it is a poor governing philosophy in general.
  11. i've never been a huge fabbri fan. i was hoping they'd trade him. interesting deal.
  12. i doubt they trade decker. if they did, i dont think they'd get a first rounder for him. he's expensive, injured, and getting older.
  13. the filibuster is stupid and should be ended regardless of who is in power. the party in power shouldnt need a supermajority to pass legislation.
  14. the bulls currently have 8 players available for their game with detroit on tuesday. and that includes two-way players and guys just signed to 10 day contracts. if the game isnt postponed, watch the bulls still beat the pistons.
  15. are you a vaccine choice person? if so, is the basis for that belief that covid simply isnt that serious because of the high recovery rate?
  16. i dont think he would win an election for majority leader. too much of a show pony and has his eyes on the presidency.
  17. is jordan running for senate? yikes.
  18. they had that in 2016.
  19. horrible qb playing horribly.
  20. Lions lose half their team to illness and injury. FIRE DAN CAMPBELL!!!!!!
  21. i agree about grant. in a way, it should mean more of cade and killian getting shots. in reality, it probably means more bey isos and cojo hero ball.
  22. 1) california wont do that. its click bait politics. 2) the supreme court was asked the question of whether the abortion providers' lawsuit for injunctive relief could proceed against a slate of government defendants. remember, the law is constructed in a way to avoid such a request for injunctive relief to proceed by making private citizens rather than government officials as the "enforcers" of the law. the theory being the abortion providers would have no standing to sue until someone had attempted to enforce the law. ultimately, the supreme court held that the suit for injunctive relief could proceed against certain defendants but not all defendants. so the abortion providers "won". the court ruled narrowly on the narrow question that was presented to it by a vote of 8-1. only thomas - who is not a fan of any injunctive relief petitions in general - dissented from that part of the ruling. there were two concurring/dissenting opinions. one from roberts and one from sotomayor. both would have allowed the injunctive relief suit to proceed against all of the defendants and thrown out the law. roberts' was a short opinion on how the supreme court is the ultimate arbiter of the constitutionality of the law and that this texas law was a bunch of legal shenanigans designed to avoid judicial review and the court shouldnt allow that to happen. sotomayor was about how the court should have overturned the law because its obviously unconstitutional. i think the concurrence/dissent is ultimately right and they should have overturned the law. i think the actual effect of the decision will be to send it back to the 5th circuit and they will decide on the injunction, so it would ultimately be ruled unconstitutional anyway. this was just a matter of standing. that said, the real action on abortion is the dodds decision. it will be interesting to see if roberts can craft a narrow decision that preserves some of casey. the oral argument didnt go particularly well for the pro abortion side and most people seem to think they will overturn it in some manner. i think roberts would like to keep parts of it (probably the right to "privacy" portion) but get rid of the viability portion. im not sure he has the votes to do that.
