  1. I was just thinking along those lines. We have open meetings acts to protect the public. I think it's time to make them mandatory closed door. Don't broadcast them. Publish transcripts with speaker names redacted. I'm serious. You learn who people are when nobody's looking.
  2. ane once people reach their 80s they tend to do that... the internal filter stops working.
  3. Even if they are correct I don't trust their motives. They aren't doing it to protect people or children.
  4. Wonder if he asked him if he knew Karate
  5. I hate it when people make criticisms of him and Tork about not being worth a 1/1 draft status. These aren't Matt Bush/Verlander comparisons. Nott every 1/1 is ARod or Chipper. Lots of Brien Taylor, Phil Nevin, and Paul Wilsons. Your most likely reasonable best hope is a Darin Erstad or Pat Burrell. Franchise players identified at that point are few.
  6. That's why I quit playing fantasy type games. Another reason is I couldn't keep up. You get an email during working hours on a trade and then I have to check around to see if they know something I dont... then you get back to them and they already moved the player. It stopped being fun for me. I do miss it. I got a special kick out of Todd Helton making the HOF because he was someone I drafted in a keeper league before he got really good and he was a star for me for a few seasons.
  7. Endeavor is going on permanent display in the stacked position with the tank and SRB’s attached. They are stacking it first then building the new museum around it. Going to a few years. some friends are going to visit their son tomorrow at USC, which is across the street. Trying to find a way to sneak my way with them.
  8. Don’t forget Chachi. James Woods. Rick Schroeder. Rob Schneider. Jim Bruer. The requirement is no relevance after the mid 90s. Then you become a right wing wacko.
  9. So my question earlier was a bit uninformed yet rhetorical based on casual readings not rising to actual studying. My perception is we have a young group with no claim on position. We are sticking them where they cause the least harm. That’s kind of troublesome.
  10. It's not a stretch to infer something about his character that he wants to finish something off. He knows a job like that is there if he succeeds.
  11. It will be interesting to see how much traffic changes on the Windsor side. I went to a friend's house in LaSalle to drop my wife off so they could go to Toronto for the weekend. So a trip there twice in 4 days. I can see why they wanted to do this and paid for it up front. The new bridge will go right to the 401. The Ambassador makes you drive a few KM before connecting. Logic says the trucks will go on the new bridge. But Maroun owns a lot of trucks. He wants that toll money.
  12. The pandemic slowed things down they say.... sourcing materials and safety issues, etc. I 75 is so different now in that area. As soon as you pass the Rouge bridge going north. There are some good spots in River Rouge to get nice views of it. There's a park hidden in an industrial area.
  13. "You mean she was there tomorrow and back here today? That don't make no damn sense. Fake news"
  14. Fill me in on where all these guys rate defensively....
  15. Every year when it happens we say "We should have done that" but there's always something going on locally where we can't make it up there...
  16. I can’t wait to run over it. It will be open to pedestrian traffic. Running over the ambassador bridge for the free press half marathon was so amazing. That alone makes the training worth it.
  17. They won’t begin to draw until school gets out. As long as they are near .500 it will be fine.
  18. We used to be a proper country.
  19. One other great thing about this playoff run…. It made January a lot of fun. January in Michigan suuuuuucks.
  20. I literally came here to post that.
  21. come on.... why do you hate Jesus?
  22. it'll get blamed on WOKE... something something DEI... something something.... Taylor Swift.....
  23. and to be fair.... he wouldn't have been alone especially at that time.
  24. Ok. I didn't get bent out of shape at the time over the "bad bounce" because my thinking was "Well if that didn't happen or if our guy caught it, they would have just called DPI so whatever... same result"
