Were these posts were after Melissa Hortman was gunned down in her home or after Heather Heyer was run over by a car?

I'll ask the question here since I ask it most every time a big name becomes available. What would it cost to get a guy like Kaprizov? Do you want him on the Red Wings and would you be willing to pay what you believe it would cost to get him?

Herschel Walker fathered multiple children out of wedlock and then abandon those kids as a deadbeat dad. He was rewarded with a nomination for US Senate by the Republican Party in Georgia.

Is he on his phone in the video? I can't tell and don't want to assume anything, just asking. The right wing had a meltdown over Biden looking at his watch. So I'm asking why he's looking down and moving his fingers in such a way.

Will this mandate also include people who mocked Minnesota State Legislator Melissa Hortman and her husband who were murdered? How about people like Donald Trump Jr. who mocked Paul Pelosi being assaulted by posting pictures of underwear and a hammer on social media?

Or attempts to send pipe bombs to Democratic politicians homes. Or Gabby Giffords being shot in the face.

There has been a school shooting in Colorado as well, in which two students were reportedly shot. This is a monthly occurrence in America sadly. We're almost numb to the frequency of these tragic school shootings. Of course, as is the case after every school shooting, we'll do nothing about it.

I don't like Charlie Kirk, nor his viewpoints on issues. I disagree with him on just about every viewpoint he's taken, including his stated views on gun ownership and gun rights in the wake of mass shootings. All that being said, violence against other human beings is morally repugnant, deeply troubling, and wrong in every way. Political violence and targeting people for their political viewpoints is even worse as it attempts to intimidate and silence people simply for who they are and holding the opinions they do. The rise in political violence and violent acts in this country is deeply disturbing. If we can't do anything else, can we at least come together to denounce violence and political violence against our fellow human beings? I'd sure like to think so. I certainly hope that Charlie Kirk survives this attack, from whatever scumbag of a person did this. I may not agree with anything the man has to say and find a lot of his viewpoints repulsive. However, I certainly condemn the violent act used against him today and hope that he makes a full recovery.

Boy would we all be elated if Danielson ends up higher than Kasper and our top prospect. I've seen all sorts of wild and out there comparisons for Danielson. I remember on draft night, one of the ESPN analysts was comparing him to Nick Suzuki. If he was Nick Suzuki I would be over the moon to have him reach that level production wise. I've also seen people compare Danielson to everything from Bo Horvat to Dylan Larkin. Danielson has never shown the kind of production in juniors or thus far the AHL that Nick Suzuki had. I don't think he ends up as a Suzuki level player, but who really knows. Outside of his one season of 78 points in the WHL with the Wheat Kings, he hasn't quite hit Horvat's level of production either. My concern is that he caps out as being a grittier, more physical JT Compher tye of player. Production wise, I do worry he ends up with Compher like numbers. Good, but not the type of great point producer we want leading the top line into the future. I'd certainly like more than that from Danielson, so I hope his ceiling is higher than Compher's as been.

Can't wait for the "this is what we voted for" crowd to come out, defend this repugnant crap, and tell us this is what we voted for.

I can't fully indict Moore for the failures on Saturday and the overall state of the program is in just yet. Do I have a ton of confidence in his coaching? No. Do I think he's a great X's and O's coach? Not really. Do I think he's a good "leader of men" type of coach? That remains to be seen. Do I think he is a good recruiter? At least somewhat I do. I think he has brought in a couple of solid classes now of new recruits. As Buddha said, he needs to work the transfer portal better. He also needs to prove he can develop players and get their full potential out of them. Something Harbaugh turned out to be very good at after a period of time. I think Moore deserves more time to try and prove he's a better coach than what he's shown from an in-game stand point. I think he deserves more time to show he's got a better system for player development. I'm at least giving him this full season to see what he can do. If it doesn't go off the rails and we can win 8 or 9 games, I'm willing to give him next season too. If it does go off the rails and we're trending into Rich Rod or Harbaugh the Covid year territory, I'm going to pull the plug for someone better. The fact is that Jim Harbaugh skipped town like a bitch and left the program empty and under investigation. While I'm elated at having won the National Championship under Harbaugh's watch, **** him for how he left the program high and dry in the end. He basically pulled a Pete Carroll at USC, knowing that there were violations committed and penalties coming as a result. He skipped town so as not to have to face any of the punishment. He left that for Moore to deal with. I don't know if there is any coach in America that could step into the murky situation Moore did with an empty recruiting class, an NCAA investigation, and pending penalties coming down against the program. I mean, maybe a Nick Saban or Urban Meyer could have done better than Moore has and sooner. But it feels like most coaches asked to take over such a situation would have failed, at least in their first year. As a result of that, I'm willing to give Moore additional time to prove himself. Hell, he beat Ohio State sooner into his tenure than Harbaugh did. Sherrone did it in a year, it took Harbaugh 6 years to do it.

You look like Bonnie ate Clyde . . . LOL!

How many times did Goff throw a pass over 10-15 yards yesterday? Once? Twice, maybe? He averaged 5.8 yards per pass yesterday, so it couldn't have happened that often. The play calling from Morton or whatever Goff opted or audibled into seemed to be almost entirely check down throws, without looking for a receiver downfield at all. There were two throws to St. Brown that extended beyond 10 yards that I remember off hand, but that seemed to be it. I know Green Bay was playing deeper with their secondary, but it didn't feel like Goff/Morton tried moving the ball downfield at all. It felt like the play calling and Goff's decision making was one check down after another.

Week one is waaaay too early to start writing this team off or worrying that we have seriois, structural problems with this team. Even given the past history of this organization, there is still no reason to believe we're in SOL territory. That said, this offense looked like one of the worst in the league today. In particular, the offensive line was dreadful and the playcalling was subpar and unimaginative. If we see a pattern of this type of play continue next week against the Bears then I'll start to worry a bit. If we see this go on into weeks 3, 4, and 5 then we're getting into the debate about whether this team has structural and foundational problems.

I can't recall one target of TeSlaa before that amazing catch he just had. Nothing else was working today, why not work him in sooner?

It went from one our biggest strengthens to a weakness all in one season. Can we get Ragnow out of retirement? Does Kevin Glover have another season in him?

If the interior of our offensive line is this bad we're in a lot of trouble.

They are really missing Ragnow today and it shows on their run blocking for sure.

Pathetic offensive playcalling and no ability to block on the run.

Why did Campbell opt for the FG there? He went for it twice in the first half. Maybe he's feeling desperate for points.

What a disaster of a start for this defense. They are generating no pressure. They give up 2 plays for 67 yards and can't cover anyone.

This defense is not good so far.

That's a catch.

Wow. Another penalty.

Christ, another special teams penalty. What an underwhelming start to the game.
