It makes sense from a money-making standpoint. For the last 60 years, the Lions have been passive income even when terrible. I’m sure the margins are astronomical now that they’re good, but they were never losing money for the family.

I have an easier time seeing Michigan winning this game than I had seeing Michigan beating Georgia two years ago. I’m not going to defend Ryan Day, but Ohio State this year didn’t turtle like they did the last two years. They went punch for punch and just turned the ball over too many times. This is probably the worst Alabama team in five years. Which says a lot for how great that program is. Their WRs are not Jerry Jeudy, Jamo, or Henry Ruggs and their RBs are not Jahmyr Gibbs or Derrick Henry. They’re still very good, but they’re not an NFL caliber team. Milroe is very good, but turnover prone. If Michigan plays the brand of mistake-free football that got them this far, and capitalizes on Milroe’s mistake(s), I think it will be a one-possession game either direction.

Ryan Day falls to a coaching record of 56-8.... and is on the hot seat. lol.

14-3 Missouri win. Love it.

I think the expectations are very different for Michigan basketball to Ohio State football. If M basketball generally makes the tournament and sprinkles in a Sweet 16 every now and then, Juwan would be fine. Instead they're losing to McNeese State and he keeps being a massive distraction by acting like a physically aggressive toddler.... If Ohio State goes 11-1 but that one loss is to Michigan, there are torches and pitchforks. Curious what becomes of this Catapult scandal. Three losses in a row to Michigan and then scoring three points in your NY6 bowl? I wouldn't be shocked if there is some pearl clutching in Columbus.

It's his third string QB, so probably.... but it won't be a fun offseason, especially if he stands pat at QB.

Kyle McCord is somewhere smiling ear to ear.

Who replaced Ohio State with Iowa?

I think Texas might rout UW. Looking at the four teams, UW is the odd duck to some extent. The other three have athletes around the field and dominate the line of scrimmage, while Washington has an NFL QB and some good WRs. They’re just built different than the other three, I think all their close games speak to that, and I don’t think it will be advantageous in the semis. They’re the only team of the four who would surprise me to win the National Championship.

I think I would have saved these for a road playoff game. Streak is going to be on the line.

For sure, they should be fighting for it. If they beat Dallas, I fully expect them to go out against Minnesota and fight as if they can get the one-seed, regardless of whether they know the outcome of the 49ers-Rams game yet. As far as health goes, knock on wood, but they're about as healthy as can be hoped for at this point in the season, so long as Sutton's toe issue isn't serious. If they get back CJGJ and Houston, they'll effectively have all 22 of their intended preseason starters available, with Moseley and Vaitai being the only real exceptions, neither of whom would be benefitted from an extra week. The extra week would be great, but I don't think it's absolutely necessary. If they could beat the Cowboys and Eagles/Niners to reach the Super Bowl with a bye, I think it's fair to think they could beat the Rams or Seahawks, then the Eagles, then the Niners. Path A is easier, but Path B isn't impossible.

Last year was the first time both one-seeds made it to the Super Bowl since they introduced the new format. Before that, two four-seeds played in the Super Bowl and before that a one-seed played a five-seed and the five-seed won. I do think that the bye is an advantage, but I definitely don't think it can't be overcome.

Sunday Night and Monday Night would be in a tug o war

I was just thinking they should be favored against Toronto. Which probably means they’ll lose by 20.

I feel for them, but at the same time if they had fought like this for losses 2-27, they wouldn’t be losing their 28th in a row tonight.

Damn

They’re probably wishing the NBA permitted ties to at least end the North American record now.

Celtics with five seconds is probably enough.

Long review gives Monty plenty of time to not draw up anything useful.

Either way…. Give Cade the ball with a look from 3!!!!

Can’t say they aren’t fighting…. Or at least Cade is.

I asked the bartender to put the game on a closer television. She asked “the Celtics game?” ”yeah, probably”

The Browns look good. Granted, they’re playing the hapless Jets. Give me the Browns vs. Lions Super Bowl though, I’m here for it.
