I can't help but think how competitive we would be in this game.

Chase Young with a big play in the SB. Guys a bum.

When Rashida and Palestinians say it, it's a problem. When Jewish Trump says it and Israelis agree with him, it's ok.

Yeah, hopefully those communities would never vote for someone as corrupt and despot as Bibi Netanyahu or Hamas.

It's telling how much centrists pretend to care about Trump being a threat to democracy while supporting Jewish Trump.

Just about the entire population of cities like Jackson, Northville Township, Southgate, and Walled Lake would be wiped out if you compared the death toll in Palestine to communities in Michigan. Eastpointe has 34,000 people, Lincoln Park has 39,000 people, Bloomfield Township as 44,000 people. Maybe we'll get there next.

They've always declined to suspend players on the same day as the incident occurred. Just ask Evgeni Malkin and Colin Campbell.

Hunter signed a deal last year for 1 year at $17 million but all of it was guaranteed. If you give him more years but similar guaranteed money overall I don't think it is farfetched to thing 2 @ $23 million is way off base. I had Goff at an AAV of $42 million per year. If I am way off on Goff then are we thinking he's going to be making Joe Burrow money at an AAV of north of $50 million or more per year or $50 million per year with incentives and bonuses as apart of that number? So is Goff going to cost us 4 @ $210 million?

LOL at cutting our marquee offseason acquisition Joe Harris.

We want to talk about talent and how they have more of it, so let's do it. If Detroit had traded for Montez Sweat do we win that game? Does Sweat as a pass rusher have an impact on that game? Does he have an impact on Brock Purdy's ability to have more time in the pocket?

I don't normally watch music award shows as I'm not into pop music but last night was awesome. To see both Joni Mitchell and Tracy Chapman get put back onto the mainstage and get recognition was nice to see. And then to have BOTH Tyler Childers and Zach Bryan get nominated for Country Album of the Year made me so happy. It is nice to see that the great music these guys have been writing, along with Jason Isbell, is finally getting the mainstream recognition they deserve. There is so much bad music out there that gets spotlighted from the likes of Blake Shelton, Florida-Georgia Line, Jason Aldean, Luke Bryan, and all the other bro-country artists out there. So to see Jason, Tyler, and Zach all have their music nominated for Grammy awards and to know that fans are getting exposed to better music these days than they were just a few year ago is very refreshing.

I did a way too early mock offseason. My numbers and players are likely way off too, but I had fun doing it. Current Cap Space: $47,678,386 Lions Players Cut/Not Resigned Hal Vaitai, Jerry Jacobs, John Cominsky, Jonah Jackson, Levi Onwuzurike, Matt Nelson, Michael Badgley, Romeo Okwara, Shane Zylstra, Tracy Walker Cap Space After Cuts: $59,549,598 Lions Players Resigned Benito Jones: 2 years/$2.11 million total Brock Wright: 3 years/$4.225 million total Chase Lucas: 2 years/$1.97 million total CJ Gardner-Johnson: 1 year/$6.5 million Craig Reynolds: 1 year/$1.08 million Dan Skipper: 1 year/$1.125 million Donavan Peoples-Jones: 2 years/$3 million total Graham Glasgow: 1 year/$1.47 million Jake McQuaide: 1 year/$1,210,000 Jalen Reeves-Maybin: 1 year/$1.21 million James Houston: 2 years/$8 million total (only year 1 is guaranteed money, year two is incentives) Josh Reynolds: 1 year/$1.2 million Kayode Awosika: 1 year/$875,000 Kindle Vildor: 2 years/$3 million total Khalil Dorsey: 1 year/$875,000 Nate Sudfeld: 1 year/$1.035 million (Emergency QB) Tyson Alualu: 1 year/$1 million Will Harris: 1 year/$1.125 million Zonovan Knight: 1 year/$850,000 Salary Cap After Re-Signings: $45,981,430 Lions Players Extended Amon-Ra St. Brown: 4 year/$92 million with $61 million guaranteed (I used Deebo Samuel's contract as a comparison) Jared Goff: 4 years/$168 million total with $88 million guaranteed Cap Space After Extensions: $15,336,494 Major Free Agents Signed Danielle Hunter DE: 2 years/$23 million Stephon Gilmore CB: 1 year/$6.5 million Robert Hunt OG: 2 years/$4.5 million NFL Draft 1st: TJ Tampa/CB, 2nd: Jonah Ellis/DE, 3rd: Mike Sainristil/CB, 3rd: Roman Wilson/WR, 4th: Will Putnam/C-G, 5th: Caedan Wallace/OT, 7th: Joshua Karty/K, 7th: Evan Anderson/DT

I could usually give a crap about the Grammy awards. But to see Jason Isbell and Brandy Clark be recognized and win awards was cool. Isbell won a grammy for the Americana Album of the Year. Also cool to see Tyler Childers up for Country Album of the Year award.

The Lions won't pay for a free agent of Sneed's caliber and won't meet his likely asking price. We won't be getting A-Tier, top 20 free agents. I think we'll be looking at guys like Stephon Gilmore, Chidobe Awuzie, Kenny Moore, Adoree Jackson at CB. Guys that we can sign to 2-3 year deals that will be more team friendly.

Hindsight is 20/20 but I was a Joey Porter Jr. fan last year and a Christian Gonzalez fan. Had they taken Porter Jr. over Campbell I think that would have given us our CB #1 for the future. Oh well, can't ace every pick and Campbell could still be a very solid player.

The Commanders are almost certainly drafting a young QB. Why they wouldn't hire an offensive-minded head coach is beyond me. Quinn had success in Atlanta but failed to do much of anything in a weak AFC South after his wiz kid OC Kyle Shanahan left for San Francisco. This was a lousy hire and the wrong direction for the Commanders to take. I would have promoted Eric Bieniemy to see what he can do before going with a retread like Dan Quinn. It seems like they may have gotten desperate after missing out on Ben Johnson and just settled on Quinn.

I like Holmes a lot, but the way they have approached free agency hasn't been to go out and get a top player in the free agent class at any position group. Maybe they thought Sutton and/or Mosley would be worthy of the #1 corner spot, but neither are. Maybe they thought Charles Harris and John Cominsky were the bookend pass rusher to Aiden, but neither of them are. I'd like to go out and get a Josh Allen (Edge), Brian Burns, Danielle Hunter, Jaylon Johnson, Kendall Fuller type impact starter in free agency. I do worry a bit, I guess, that they'll pass on the A-tier free agents and go get more try hard guys that fit their scheme from the next tier down. So we'll end up with Denico Autry and Adoree Jackson type players instead of an impact playmaker like a Brian Burns or Kendall Fuller. That or they'll bring in an aging veteran like Stephon Gilmore while they draft someone and bring them along behind him. But they won't pay big to bring in an impact playmaker that can be their starter for the next 3-4 seasons.

Do we think Holmes is going to draft for need this year or will he go BPA, regardless of position?

Anyone supporting Israel carte blanche, without willing to condition any military aid might as well vote for Trump. If you're willing to support Bibi then why not just vote for Trump? What exactly is the difference between Bibi and Trump at this point?

19,000 orphaned children, with no adult, is a great way to create future Hamas members and terrorists. Its a great way to radicalize children. Terribly sad to see, if those numbers are correct, that 19,000 children are orphaned. The IDF response has proportionally gotten way out of line. What an utter tragedy on both side.

Where is this Ragnow retirement talk coming from? Did one of the beat writers or NFL insiders report it?

Of course the Netanyassholes will say these little ****ers had it coming and it's all Hamas' fault.

Red hats don't believe we are a democracy. I'm frequently told we are a republic and not a democracy by red hats and conservatives.
