  1. Why can't Gores step in and fire Tellem then and his bum son who is the Director of Pro Scouting Eric Tellem? Martha Ford fired Team President Tom Lewand at the same time that she fired the Lions GM. No reason Gores couldn't fire both Weaver and Tellem.
  2. Does Langdon have the ability and autonomy to fire and hire anyone he wants? He needs that level of autonomy in this organization. Troy Weaver should be fired. But so too should Arm Tellem, his bum son who is the Director of Pro Scouting Eric Tellem, and frankly the entire college scouting staff. He needs to have the same freedom and flexibility that Brad Holmes and Scott Harris have in their respective organizations. This entire from office from college scouting to player development needs to be overhauled. The Pistons need more than just a change in GM and Head Coach.
  3. Speaking of real modern country, I saw Charley Crockett live a couple of years ago at the Majestic and thought he put on a solid live show.
  4. Old 97s are somewhere between country and rock, though they probably lean more rock. They really fit into both the alt-country an\d country-rock classifications at times. They aren't George Jones if that's the barometer your using for a country sound. They're more Jason Isbell before Jason Isbell was a thing.
  5. See, when Stafford was here the Stafford fans were saying the exact opposite. When Stafford critics, like myself, would bring up the whole "who has he made better" argument we were often dismissed and told how non-elite QBs don't really make WRs all that better. When critics would bring up some of the names that guys like Brady, Farve, Rogers, and other QBs made better critics were often rebuked thar those were elite QBs and you can't compare Stafford to those players and expect him to be at their level.
  6. Why didn't the defense end up calling presumably Trump-friendly witnesses like Allen Weisselberg to the stand? Are they worried the more he has to say the worse it gets for Trump?
  7. "What's Truth Social? I've never used that before in my life." - Donald J. Trump
  8. Similar to Hershel Walker, the MAGA crowd doesn't also seem to care nor notice that they are exploiting a person with brain health issues by running them for office and putting them under this type of pressure and stress.
  9. We lost Kevin Colbert to the Steelers in the 1990s. It's too bad Bill Ford Jr. didn't offer him the job of GM instead of Millen. Though, had he, fans would have just bitched that they promoted from within like many of us did when Mayhew got bumped as next man up.
  10. Ahhhhh yes, the great was it Brad Holmes or was it really all Brandon Sosna debate. Now I guess we get to see was it really Brad Holmes as the brains of the operation or was it all Sosna. This is like the debate around was it really Belichick or was it all Brady. In all seriousness though, this guy sounds like a pretty sharp kid and a some what of a loss for the Lions.
  11. I thought MAGA hated when athletes made political statements? Or is that only black athletes?
  12. Damn, Scottie Scheffler got arrested this morning before the start of Round 2 of the PGA Championship.
  13. Someone should tell the Rams what Stafford's record is against teams with a winning record.
  14. The Lions schedule release video was not in the least but funny. But that's not what matters. Winning is what matters. Go Lions!
  15. I don't get how this reality matches up with the hypothetical polls. Trump is losing support among primary, base Republican voters, but is performing far better with the average, general election voter.
  16. Trump couldn't lift his **** without being out of breath, much less get on a bike and ride.
  17. @lordstanley ESPN is doing a 30 for 30 documentary called I'm Just Here for the Riot on the Vancouver riots after their Stanley Cup Final loss in 2011. It airs starting on June 4th it looks like.
  18. Jared Goff was a deflected INT and two dropped passes away from a Super Bowl. He's brought us closer to a Super Bowl than any Lions QB in the Super Bowl era. He most definitely deserves the contract he is getting.
  19. I don't get wanting to discourage tanking. I'd be more apt to want to watch my team if I knew they were tanking for an exciting, young player that could give you hope for the future versus watching the endless cycle of mediocrity the Pistons are in.
  20. What happened to the America First part of MAGA?
  21. Wouldn't you be disappointed as hell if all Tork amounts to is Rob Deer or a poor man's version of Deer? Deer had a career OPS of sub .750 and struck out an average of like 150 times a season. He's the poster child for all power and no smarts when at the plate. A dude just ripping at the ball with poor pitch selection and bad swings.
  22. Dean Palmer was second best hitter in Randy Smith's lineup behind Tony Clark in 1999 from what I remember. Maybe better than Tony and better than Higgy.
  23. No, everyone there beside you was opposing team fans lol because Randy Smith had built such a pathetic team. I remember going to Tiger Stadium as a kid when the Indians would come to town and there would be more Indians fans than Tigers fans because we were so bad.
  24. Looks like Giovanni Manu, the big boy from British Columbia, the 9th Wonder of the World, is going to be getting reps at Tackle and not Guard. https://www.prideofdetroit.com/2024/5/10/24153538/detroit-lions-provide-some-positional-clarity-on-giovanni-manu-sione-vaki
