Yikes, very pedestrian start from Bridgewater. Even worse performance from our backup offensive line.

Nice little lateral for the INT there.

The return game looks real solid anyways.

Of course I don't expect any different from ownership. But how Rob Manfred can not only standby and watch this happen, but have MLB put pressure on the city to finance a new stadium is incredulous. Manfred knows full well, if he is intellectually honest with himself, that there is nothing wrong with Miller Park and it's structurally sound and still looks great.

CBS Sports: Brewers may threaten to leave Milwaukee if Wisconsin taxpayers won't fund stadium upgrades, per report I want to comment on a story that should be getting much more attention in baseball and sports than it is, that is the Milwaukee Brewers stadium fiasco. Screw Brewers ownership, lead by Mark Attanasio, and screw MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred. If they actually blackmail taxpayers in Milwaukee into financing them a new multi-million dollar stadium with taxpayer money, when Miller Park isn't even 25 years old, then this will be a total and complete boondoggle and travesty. I think people should be outraged at what's going on and at the threats of potentially relocating the Brewers if ownership doesn't get a new stadium. How in the hell can they justify trying to replace Miller Park when it's not even 25 years old? Amazing!

MAY DAY! MAY DAY! MAY DAY! Brad May wins it in overtime. Top shelf where mama hides the cookies. Pat Fa-la-la-la-la-la-Lafontaine. Damn, RIP!

Ah, that's good to know. So essentially it's null and void now with no harm to the Lions. I didn't want this to be the Benson trade all over.

So we swapped picks with the Jets only to cut Mims? So they get our 6th round pick now for the 2025 draft.

I see MAGA is already sucking him up online thinking this is their anthem. If he goes the direction of John Rich or Travis Tritt and turns into a whiney MAGA singer than I'm out.

The thing I cannot wrap my head around is how the MAGA right and Republicans are always talking about how they are being ripped off and the game is rigged by powerful special interests. Yet, when government does step in and try to course correct and put regulations in place they fall hook-line-sinker for the same old "but that's socialism" bit and regurgitate it. So they want things to change, but when change does happen it's socialism. There are some on the right still who legitimately believe the Milton Friedman/Ronald Reagan line of government is the problem. But I think most of your modern day Republicans and the MAGA right would not want or endorse the kinds of deregulatory measures we saw under Reagan and Clinton. Yet ever measure of regulation is evil Socialism. The other thing that's always hard to comprehend, and this centers around the Ukraine argument, is the whole "imagine if we spent all the money we're sending to Ukraine on the American people." Spend that money on what exactly? We did do that in 2009 under President Obama with the ACA and the expansion of Medicaid and the right lost their minds of expanding Medicaid. They had an entire tea party movement, the precursor to MAGA, form partly as a result of expanding Medicaid and diverting resources away from Iraq and Afghanistan towards helping actual Americans. It's a real headache trying to dissect and understand the mental gymnastics of the right.

I ****ing love this kind of country/roots/Appalachian music. I hadn't a clue who Oliver Anthony was until earlier today, but damn is he good. He's got the vocal characteristics of a Tyler Childers for sure and I love it.

I was reading some comments on Pride of Detroit about the potential type of ACL surgery that Jamo had and whether or not it was a hamstring graft used to repair the ACL. One poster was saying that Jamo may have had a hamstring graft to repair his ACL. The poster was furthermore saying that on occasion, players who have a graft from the hamstring to repair their ACL can have reoccurring hamstring issues. I'm not medical expert, but I wonder what the percentage is of people who have a hamstring graft to repair a torn ACL and then have reoccurring hamstring issues. I also one the severity of those hamstring issues.

I don't want to agree with all this because I want Jamo to be a huge part of this offense's and team's success, but I do agree with it. If he's not trending into bust territory he's at minimum trending in the wrong direction and quickly.

He missed almost all of last year with an injury and then didn't show much in the little he did play. Now he starts this year off with a 6 game suspension and another injury that will knock him out of practice and preseason games. This is not trending in the right direction. We were already talking up Okudah and Levi as busts at this stage of the game, so why is Jamo so different?

Jamo is heading towards bust territory. I don't want to think that way but I just can't shake that feeling.

If you liked this song you should check out the Uncle Lucius song "Keep the Wolves Away" that I posted on the other page. I think you'd really dig it.

You'll take what your capitalist masters give you and be happy. It's X now. Capitalism baby, wooooooooo!!!

Brandy Clark's new self-titled album is so, so good. It was produced by the other, also equally amazing Brandi, Brandi Carlile. My top tracks off of it are Dear Insecurity (which is tops by a mile for me), Northwest, Come Back to Me, and this song below, She Smoked in the House. Fantastic songwriting as always by Brandy Clark who continues to be one of the best singer/songwriters out there in the Country/Alt-Country/Americana genres.

What is it with Lions Tight Ends and dropped passes lol

Back in my libertarian days I always liked Charles Krauthammer because I thought he was very poignant and insightful. He attempted to make sound, reasoned arguments and not just make personal attacks and baseless claims. I liked his WaPo columns too. Looking back, he was 100% wrong about Netanyahu and failed to see the rise of a wannabe authoritarian and dictator. I would certainly hope he has the capacity in him to admit he was wrong. I know my views on the Israel/Palestine relationship changed and my former stance of being firmly pro Israel were wrong. Failing to see not only the dangers that Bebe posed, but also the cruelty and lawlessness of Israeli settlements, sanctions, and a military blockade of Gaza and the West Bank that have created apartheid conditions. The other one I always want to hear from about Trump is Christopher Hitchens. I loved Hitch's views on religion, the church, and politicians he thought were either corrupt, moronic, or both. I didn't like his foreign policy views, but respected his honesty and critiques. I would hope Hitch would see Trump for the corrupt, crackpot, moron that he is.

I saw that post last night on X but didn't see any other credible X accounts or X's that confirm the story, at least as of last night. I didn't see Friedman, Dreger or any of the other NHL Beatwriters X anything about it.

It was more than weird, it was nearly disqualifying to some. Now you can nominate a presidential candidate who mocks disabled people, dodged a draft but says POWs aren't war heroes, and talks about vaginal bleeding of news commentators and none of that is disqualifying.

Uncle Lucius Keep the Wolves Away always hits me. Such a well written, emotive song.

You don't think the fact that he was a system QB in a very specific, spread offensive scheme is at all an issue? The offense that Tennessee ran last year will likely translate very little to the NFL schemes. Tennessee lines their receivers out way wide to the sidelines on many plays. I think Hooker is a very talented QB, but I think the scheme he ran helped him out a lot too.

I did think Hooker would be ready for some point down the line this season, but not right away. I did think someone else we could have drafted at that spot could have played and potentially started and contributed this season. I'm not going to get too worked up over this as I recognize the talent Hooker has and I recognize the fact that many 3rd round picks never start right away or amount to anything in the end. It is what it is.
