I wish Michigan would start the season off with a more competitive opponent each year. Seeing these cupcake games has gotten old. I'd love to see a real opponent to start the season.

That's targeting. He hit him right with the crown of his helmet.

So Davis Warren is starting today. Will this he a true QB split or will Warren pickup most of the snaps?

Hell today, John Stewart does some of the most hard hitting interviews on TV or the internet.

What happened to the unity ticket?

I feel bad for Kevin Bacon having to go grocery shopping on a windy day. You think inflation is bad for the rest of us regular folks, the cost of groceries must be astronomical for him when it's windy.

I missed this last week and am just now seeing this. The tragic limousine crash that changed the lives of both Vladdy and Sergei forever shaped this town and fundamentally made hockey different in Detroit. RIP Sergei Mnatsakanov.

What an awful, tragic story to read. For the Gaudreau family to lose two young men like that, especially the day before they celebrate their daughter/sisters wedding is just so awful. RIP Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau.

Are we really only rolling with 4 WRs on our active 53 man roster? Looking through other depth charts around the league (not that I looked at every single teams) I didn't see anyone else with only 4 active WRs on their roster. Seems like they have to call up at least one more WR to the active roster. If someone were to go down in a game it seems like we'd be in trouble with the only 3 WRs out there.

There are still so many great movies made today that aren't in the superhero, action or jump scare genres. A24 Studios makes tremendous movies that are true to life and span the boundaries of different genres. After Sun, Ex Machina, First Cow, Florida Project, Iron Claw, Ladybird, The Lighthouse, The Lobster, Moonlight, Midsommer, Minari, Uncut Gems, The Whale, The Witch, etc. are some of the many fantastic movies A24 has put out over the past decade plus.

Well we certainly have no shortage of semi-baked X Receivers now. I actually like the Tim Patrick signing and think there might be something there if he can actually manage to stay healthy and learn the playbook. That's a BIG IF for him given the last two seasons he's barely played a regular season snap. But I think signing Patrick presents a low risk, medium reward and I'm happy to have him on the practice squad. I think Allen Robinson is completely cooked. The guy hasn't even gone over 400 yards and 35 receptions in three seasons now. He's fine as a practice squad signing, but at 31 years old, I expect nothing out of him.

What would you say you do here?

Office Space is probably the best movie of 1999 for me. I love Richard Riehle as Tom Smykowski so much in that move. I'd say Being John Malkovich, Big Daddy, Man on the Moon, and The Green Mile round out the top 5 of 1999 for me.

An incredibly dumb and dishonest person.

In a dream world Ohio is still the purple swing state it once was. They just haven't seen the rapid growth in their suburban areas (Cleveland/Akron, Cincinnati, Columbus) with college educated voters that places like Atlanta and Phoenix have been seeing. I think for the foreseeable future Ohio will be stuck in that gap of 5-7% away from Democrats being able to flip it.

Tom Bonier has a lot of good data points on his Twitter account.

If voter registration over the past month is any indicator of enthusiasm and electoral success, it all seems to be on the Democrats side. It seems to be women, women of color, young people, and young women of color really driving the registration boom. I highly doubt these people are registering to vote for Trump and the GOP. Their electorate is only getting older, though not persay whiter given the Hispanic vote they've pealed off. Can they make up the difference in new voter registration with enthusiasm or turnout of their own, sure, but adding way more new voters on the Democratic side certainly makes that task harder.

Speaking of enthusiasm and momentum . . .

I don't see quite the same pizzazz or energy that I saw in 2020 this year either. It doesn't mean he can't or won't drive up turn out again this year for Republicans. I just don't get the sense that enthusiasm is quite as high this time around. Hopefully it isn't and people stay home that voted for him in 2020.

I'm a big Simpsons fan and love relating things to the show, especially the early seasons of The Simpsons when it had smart, sophisticated humor. Trump is the Presidential version of Lionel Hutz Attorney at Law. There's an episode where Bart gets hit by a car and ends up in the hospital. Lionel Hutz shows up and promises the Simpson family the world in a lawsuit and delivers nothing in the end. During the episode Lisa asks Lionel Hutz if he is a shyster and Huts responds back, "How does a little girl like you know a big word like that."

There has been a lot of empty seats at his rallies I have been noticing as of late. Now, that might not mean anything. But having empty seats in large arenas isn't usually a sign of the campaign with all the energy and momentum. That said, he increased his turnout from 2016 to 2020 and brought new people into the fold. So maybe rally attendance and enthusiasm matters not.

Would you waive Emmanuel Mosley with an injury designation at this point or do you keep hanging onto him to see what you might have in the event he ever sees the field again?

Pride of Detroit: Dan Campbell Admits Keeping James Houston a Tough Decision I don't understand this at all and I don't understand the aversion this coaching staff seems to have for pure, situational pass rushers. Why the hell wouldn't you want a guy on your team that specializes in getting after the QB and disrupting plays in the backfield with his explosiveness. Why the obsession with him having to be a SAM or an every down guy? What's wrong with a rotational pass rusher? I think keeping Houston adds far more value to this team that keeping another DB or LB or some special teams only defensive player. I just don't get how we are sitting here two years in a row now still doing the bubble watch for a guy like Houston. I mean, the dude's no Von Miller or Reggie White out there, but as a situational, get after the QB specialist, I would want that guy on my team when you need someone to just disrupt a pass and put a little heat on the QB.

If we're adding a WR #3 or #4 via free agency there is one name I'd be interested in. We all know we're not adding a slot/inside guy. We need another big-bodied, outside presence to work along with Jamo. I saw that former Titans first round pick Corey Davis applied to be reinstated into the league after taking a year off and was granted that. As well, he was granted a his release from the Jets and hit free agency. Davis has the traits and skillset I'd like to think Holmes and Campbell are looking for. I don't know what kind of culture fit and locker room he is and that obviously matters as much as the talent he brings to the team. Davis is still only 29 years old though and had a decent enough season two years ago playing with a rotational cast of QBs with the Jets organization. I'd love for Davis to at least get a workout.
