  1. He created that team to give the banned black players of the past a team in the computerized MLB.
  2. https://eternalbaseball.com/ Coolest thing ever. Computer simulations of entire seasons using the all-time rosters of teams. The Tigers won their division last year, but fell to the Yankees in the playoffs in a controversial decision to pitch Wild Bill Donovan on short rest rather than going with Denny McClain. Hal Newhouser and Hank Greenberg had stellar seasons. Alan Trammell was superb in their all-star game. They got off to a slow start this season, but are back on top of their division. A ton of fun. https://boards.eternalbaseball.com/ Also on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/eternalbaseball
  3. Last I saw UM's recruiting class is 9th in the country. That's not light years behind anybody. And they recruited best in areas of need, like the secondary. Who else in the Big Ten finished ahead of us? Penn State? A team we beat on their own field? We've got a 5 star, as does PSU. 0$u has two. But two of our 10 4 stars are on the cusp of being 5s. They have more 4s but we have more 3s. Their 4-5 stars replace other 4-5 stars. Our 4-5 stars will replace 3 stars. Another 12+ win season next year, and we move up even more. We may never surpass the southern and costal teams. They have all the natural advantages. What kid wouldn't rather go to a warm climate and winning tradition? But we have narrowed the gap and are poised to narrow it further. IF we take advantage of the NIL we can do better yet.
  4. A 4 star and a 5 star WR. A 4 star and a 5 star DB. Two excellent interior DL men and one 4 star pass rusher. A top notch transfer OL man. And perhaps the best 2-way QB in Alex Orji. That's in the same area code. You're spot on about NIL money. Teams like Bama and 0$u have been doing that kind of stuff under the table for years. Now it's legal and UM needs to take advantage of it.
  5. Who said anything about stress? I'm talking about being able to breathe while wearing a mask that impairs one's breathing. If you don't understand that, then I know you have a job that is not very physically demanding.
  6. https://www.wnd.com/2021/12/top-health-official-misled-parents-scare-vaccinating-kids/ They admit they lied. You may now continue ignoring facts and truth.
  7. Moritz Seider’s physicality earns Red Wings’ praise, opponents’ ire - mlive.com Some of Yzerman's recent draft picks were also big, strong, tough defensemen, who can protect the skill players like Larkin and Lucas. That's the one element were were a bit short on during our Cup/Playoff run. That's a necessity in the playoffs, where the referees still favor the physical (even goon) teams.
  8. Nobody did that. I simply mentioned they don't do continual, heavy, strenuous physical labor for 8-10 hours. So a mask doesn't inhibit their breathing as much. The same is true about cops and teachers, but that doesn't mean I'm bashing them to point that out. Your accusation is simply dishonest and slanderous. But I'm convinced you knew that when you said it.
  9. But there was covid, and lots of other dangerous, communicable diseases and viruses.
  10. LOL. I'm sure 150# nurses do that all by themselves on an hourly basis. I'm not saying nursing is easy. I'm saying they don't have the continual physical demands of many laborers. They can wear masks to perform such occasional tasks.
  11. If you've had scares, by all means, get it checked out. But everybody cannot feasibly get checked out for everything. They get checked out when they are ailing. Did you get your AIDS test? Malaria? Tuberculosis? The only other time the govt put onerous health mandates on citizens, and the only other time we have experienced such results. You think maybe there is a connection? Maybe we shouldn't handle this the same way they handled that? Maybe treating it as usual should be the order of the day. You know, vaccinate/isolate those at risk instead of the healthy people? Don't send elderly and infirm back into nursing homes among other elderly/infirm?
  12. Lots of things are contagious and kill multitudes. The flu has been doing it for decades, but you never cared then. Tuberculosis is a HUGE killer in Africa, but "Black Lives Matter" only when politically expedient.
  13. Amen! So we need to quit hyping this and scaring people into going to the hospital out of fear. Many people suffer harshly with the flu, and they don't fly to the hospital every time they sneeze. That's because we're familiar with the flu and there is no govt/media propaganda scaring people into fleeing to the hospital every time they exhibit flu symptoms - and they can get pretty severe. People stay home, bed rest, medicate, and wait it out. If more people did this with covid, the hospitals would be clear. Fact is, most of them are anyway. Surely you guys are familiar with the naval hospital ships that were in the harbor when NY hospitals were supposedly full? And almost nobody was sent to them. I know a medical officer on one of those ships. Dr. J.D. Howe, who was waiting for sick people who never showed up. Hundreds of beds available and nobody was being sent there. It's almost like they wanted to present the narrative that the hospitals were overfilled.
  14. Did you do that five years ago for any of 100 other things? No. So USUALLY, people don't waste the time or money to get tested for things they show no signs of having. I doubt you are gonna take a day off work and pay to get tested for malaria this week, gout next week, skin cancer the following week, etc.
  15. Mayo Clinic, too? World renown medical facilities are purveyors of pseudoscience? They are surely wrong on occasions, but purveyors of pseudoscience? So we need to trust you guys over the FDA, CDC, Cleveland Clinic, developers of the vax ... oooohkayy.
  16. Workplaces do some testing (like drug screening). Sometimes willingly, sometimes under pressure from govt or insurance companies, but individuals don't get tested for things when they're not sick. It takes time and money and most people are not in the habit of wasting either for no obvious reason. I doubt you are gonna take a day off work and pay to get tested for malaria this week, gout next week, skin cancer the following week, etc. And this idea that vaccines and testing are *required* is quite recent, and against the idea of a free society if not flat out unconstitutional. For the first 244 of America's 246 years, govt didn't demands such things of employers. So, what I said, "USUALLY no one gets tested for anything when they are not sick." is true. Even a few exceptions don't refute "usually".
  17. 71%, to a lowball 62% here. So we are less than 9% away from covid being neutralized, right? {{antivaxers don't bother getting tested unless they get really sick}} Usually, no one gets tested for anything when they are not sick.
  18. https://www.wnd.com/2021/12/german-govt-reports-96-omicron-cases-among-fully-vaccinated/ This is the opposite of what I keep hearing in here.
  19. So nurses throw around 50-60# items continually for all 12 hours? Not any of the few dozen nurses I know. That doesn't mean they have an easy job, but it's not as continually physically strenuous. They probably get to sit down once in a while. And their masks were for a different purpose and were not needed to be worn virtually airtight. I worked 12 hour shifts for 23 years. Try again.
  20. I didn't vote for Trump. I usually vote 3rd party. That does not make Sleepy-Creepy Joe a better alternative.
  21. AMEN! But when they die with covid we are all supposed to panic, give the govt more power, give up our liberties, spend more taxpayer money, shut down businesses, mask, vax, distance, etc. The VAST majority of covid deaths are elderly and infirm, just as would be expected. Those are the ones who need to be vaxxed, not all the healthy people.
  22. That's why you won't even tell us what she does. Is she an MMA fighter or something? Is she over 60? Does she work 10 hour shifts?
  23. Population immunity has always been the best way to eradicate a communicable virus. Vaccines can help if they are truly well-developed and tested, not "Project Warp Speed" political stuff. Building up natural immunities is better.
