It was said by a poster here that they've been to Democratic meetings and they never talk about helping people. I'm here at our 12th Congressional District meeting and we're talking with our Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib about how we can donate to local food panties and help people effected by the Republican government shutdown and Republican SNAP benefit cuts.

Reverend Horace Sheffield is the father of newly elected Detroit Mayor, Mary Sheffield. This is a big endorsement as Rev. Sheffield is one of the predominant pastors in Detroit, with a big congregation.

Nope. Cam Robinson was only brought up as an example of a starting offensive lineman who was traded at the deadline. Words being put in people's mouth that weren't said. Joel Bitonio, Kevin Zietler, Wyatt Teller all suggested, but not Robinson.

I am not a religious person, but if there is a hell, these Christian conservatives who support this **** will be first in line there. I don't ever want to hear another mother ****er call themselves pro-life and condone this ****.

Republican electeds, MAGA, conservatives in general scream and cry socialism frequently when government and ethics reforms are brought up.
-
And when good and ethical law markers like the Elizabeth Warren's and Jon Ossoff's of the world try to propose legislation to reform the campaign finance system, get rid of Citizens United, have public financing of campaigns, or ban Congressional stock trading, we're told that's socialism and it's bad. Doesn't seem bad to me. Seems good.

RFK Jr. getting out of the room as quickly as possible. Doing one of those Josh Hawley, down the hall way runs there.

Active Democrat here. I am a member of my local city Democratic Club, my Congressional District democratic club, the Michigan Democratic Party, Metro Detroit DSA Chapter, and other groups. I regularly hear policy discussions and conversations around ho we can help people out at events I go to. In-fact, when I am the more progressive functions, policy and helping marginalized people is mostly what they talk about.
-
It was Elizabeth Warren and many of the progressive Senators and House Reps leading the charge for not only Congresspeople not trading stock, but also for the HR 1 campaign financing reforms.

Again, we don't know what was or wasn't done behind the scenes. So it isn't entirely fair to say Holmes did nothing because maybe he did make calls about getting a replacement for Mahogany. Maybe he didn't. Until we get a reliable report that says one way or the other, we don't know. But if we do find out that Holmes wasn't making call and looking to upgrade the Guard position due to Mahogany's injury and was instead relying on a next man up mentality in rookie Miles Fraizer, who is just coming back from an injury, I think that is a mistake. Neither Hongbit or myself have been roasting Holmes over this as if it were some mortal sin not to make a trade. I've roasted GMs plenty of times before (see Ken Holland circa 2013-2019). This is not that. I just simply wanted an insurance move to be made, to ensure we protect our QB, boost our running game, and open up our play action attack with the right people in the lineup. I hope Miles Fraizer or whoever they pull off the depth chart is that guy.

Sad to see The Ticket name and branding going away in favor of 97.1 Detroit Sports Radio Network. That's as bad a name as when it was 97.1 Detroit Sports Powerhouse back when they first moved to 97.1 from 1270. That's going to be a mouthful to say on the air is it not? Sounds like an awkward name for a station too. From the 97.1 Detroit Sports Radio Network update desk I'm Jeremy Otto for more keep it right here or go to 971detroitsportsradionetwork.com

A Western Michigan Bronco alum as well.

Seems like Americans at least say they support some progressive/left/social democratic policy ideas.

Horrible to hear about this. He was only 24 years old and was just starting out his football career. My thoughts are with his family, friends, teammates, and everyone who loved Marshawn. Way too young to go.
-
The question was asked has a starting-caliber offensive lineman ever been traded at the deadline. I responded to the question with two recent examples, Cam Robinson and Ezra Cleveland. According to Football reference Robinson was indeed a starting LT having started 17 games in the 2024 season between Jacksonville and Minnesota. Ezra Cleveland started 11 games between Jacksonville and Minnesota in the 2023 season.
-
When the Vikings traded with the Jaguars last year at the deadline for starting LT Cam Robinson I believe it only cost them a 4th round pick. And the 4th round pick was conditional on playing time, as it was originally slated to be a 5th, depending on how much Robinson played.
-
He is former Lieutenant Governor ****'s son I believe.

Remember kids that the Republican Party is the party of family values. The moral majority, guiding us through evil. Thankfully he's not trans though, because cheating on your wife is so much better.

So if these players are being held out of practice and possibly won't play on Sunday in a worst case scenario, the Lions starting OL for Sunday could be . . . LT Guy off the practice squad LG Kayode Awosika C Graham Glasgow RG Tate Ratledge RT Guy off the practice squad This does not make me feel confident starting a backup Guard and two guys off the practice squad.

So far so good to me. Lina Khan was the single best appointment Joe Biden ever made. Now, a smart, savvy, strategic women is joining Zohran's transition team for Mayor. She would do him well to stay on as a top advisor or as a Deputy Mayor as she understands the inner-workings of government.
-
Just last year at the deadline Minnesota traded for starting LT Cam Robinson from the Jacksonville. At the 2023 deadline Jacksonville traded for G Ezra Cleveland from Minnesota. Other than those two examples, I couldn't find anything else within the last 4-5 seasons of trades. Historically, the NFL has not been a very active trading league at the deadline, so unlike the MLB, there isn't a big sample size. But the above trades show it has been done.
-
What I want to know is were there offensive lineman available at the deadline, who were they, and did Brad Holmes call about acquiring one of them.

When you factor in that Cuomo's black voters are still largely Democratic voters who are going to pull the lever for Democrats, I don't see it as this big problem as you do. Again, it's not as if these voters went Republican and voted for Sliwa. Cuomo, even though he ran as an independent, is still a Democrat. Voters who voted for him largely knew this, black voters or otherwise.

This is exit polling data FYI.
