NOL, New Old Lions. Just getting big stops when they need them and shutting other teams down.

He's one of those bro-country guys who sings about trucks, tailgates, tanlines, and Miller Lite all the time.

Jaymo and Goff are not on the same page right now. Either he's running poor routes or isn't anticipating when Goff's going to get him the ball on time.

Was Hutch grabbing his wrist?

Are you ****ing kidding me with this? Not again!!!

Why aren't we using a timeout here?

St. Brown TOUCHDOWN! I needed LaPorta to score for my fantasy league there, but oh well.

DJ REEEEEEEED WOOOOO!!!

Myles Garrett is bullying Taylor Decker out there. When you have Garrett and Mason Graham as apart of your front four you're going to be good.

No Jamo!!!! You gotta catch that. Goff dropped it right in the bucket.

The defense has picked it up and played much better these past couple of drives.

There we go baby. Touchdown Gibbs!!!

He's trending fast into bust territory fast. He gets beat often, is handsy, and never plays the ball.

Wow, this secondary turned Joe Flacco into prime Dan Marino on that drive.

We're getting carved up by . . . JOE FLACCO? WTF!!!!!

What an awful tragedy. My heart goes out to these people and their families. We're constantly told more guns in society makes us safer. There are an estimated 500 million civilian owned firearms in the US. At what point or at what total number of guns do we need to be at to be fully safe and secure? Is it 600 million guns? 700 million guns? A billion guns? Should everyone have a concealed weapon on them, in every situation? What about ex-military at churches? We're told by Republicans that one of the solutions for stopping or preventing school shootings is to have ex-military members at schools safeguarding our kids and staff. What about churches now. Should we have ex-military members at every church?

RIP to former Detroit TV sportscaster and announcer Ray Lane.

I go back to Johnson's call of Jack Sawyer interception at the goal line against Michigan as one of the best examples of how bad and obnoxious Gus can be.

The way he creams himself saying THE O-HI-YO STATE UN-I-VERSITY really drives me nuts. It just sounds bad for one. It also makes him sound like he's in the bag for them too.

Appalling behavior with the heckling. This isn't baseball, this is golf. The American fans treatment of the Europeans has been disgraceful.

Good for you Shane Lowry. The American fans heckling has been uncalled for. This is golf, not baseball. This is supposed to be friendly between the nations. I for one am happy to see Team USA get obliterated.

The Tigers do the Trump dance, in front of Trump, and they lose. The Trump team brags about USA hockey and they lose. Trump shows up at the Ryder Cup and Team USA is getting obliterated so far by Team Europe. When you associate with losers, you lose. Hahahahaha!

I love seeing the Americans get their ass kicked in the Ryder Cup. I also love seeing us lose earlier in the year in hockey to Team Canada. Why, because **** Trump!

JESUS ****ING H. CHRIST!!!

Yzerman and McLellan have big choices to make. If they believe that this roster as constructed is a legit playoff roster, then I think it remains largely the same. That means you'll see less of ASP, Cossa, Danielson, Finnie, MBN, Wallinder the younger players and more of Appleton, Compher, Holl, Talbot, the veteran guys. You may, at some point, see some of the younger kids brought into the fold, but I wouldn't expect any of the younger guy, sans maybe Mazur, to see significant minutes per game. If they believe this roster is not ready for a playoff run, I think they should be making changes to this roster in the form of callups. If the believe that this team either won't make the playoffs at all or would get bounced quickly and decisively if they did, changes must be made. What's the point of missing the playoffs yet again with guys like Appleton, Compher or Holl taking up significant ice time over young guys who could use NHL minutes? What is this organization gaining by having a kid who is mostly or all the way ready being stuck in the AHL, when they could use the valuable experience of playing with NHL competition and speed? How are we developing organizationally and how are these players developing individually if we won't give our guys NHL ice time? I certainly don't want a young player being called up for the sake of it. They have to be ready, at some level, for their call up. I would not want to call a young player up and watch him immediately fail miserably. But if the young guys are playing well in Grand Rapids and the veteran players up on the NHL roster are underperforming, but still holding these guys back from getting called up, then I'll be upset. We all should be if that's the case. However, I don't believe this situation will be as bad as it was under Ken Holland. In 2012 Ken Holland had Nyquist in the AHL at 24 years old and Tomas Tatar in the press box at 23 years old, to start the season. That was absurd and ridiculous. All so he could play guys who were washed like Dan Cleary and Mikael Samuelsson, who he kept on bringing back to the organization. I don't think Yzerman is that dense or dumb about when to play younger guys. He's already given some of his younger talent a chance to play significant minutes in the NHL and be foundational pieces for this team. I hope to see Danielson, Finne, MBN, and Wallinder specifically, sooner rather than later. I would be OK-ish with them waiting and taking more time with ASP and Cossa.
