Pistons have won 12 games in the last 12 months. 5 games in the last 10 months. If they lose tonight, that number goes down to 4 games in 10 months, as they won a game on Feb 9, 2023.

Loni Anderson does that to a fella.

I was at the game. When the wings scored goals 2-4 they weren’t even done announcing them when SJ scored their 3rd goal.

There's Tiger fans on twitter acting like the extra money he's getting over the first 3 years is "not much more".... $11 million is nothing to sneeze at. Nevermind the additional $20M he's getting for the 4th year. Why do fans expect players to do things in the interest of the fans and org and not themselves?

I think 3 and 4 are most likely. Harris wouldn't have made it this far in the baseball world by doing #1 and #2. ERod may have just been undecided and didn't want to make a rash move at the last minute with a gun to his head. that's his right. In the end he got $31 million more guaranteed than he current contract was going to pay him. I can't fault a guy for that.

Beck with the snark. I like it.

Was that 2012 or 2016?

I was stuck on the Bridge.... once again I got the slow line.

David Halberstam's book The Fifties goes into a lot of detail on it. That's a great book. I cannot recommend it enough.

The importance of it was setting up the 3 camera sitcom, studio audiences, establishing the west coast as a TV industry, and societal things like referencing pregnant women, a hispanic male lead, along with showing repeats, syndication, etc. When pitching the show one of the execs said "Ok but lose the Cuban... the country won't believe a woman like that is married to a Cuban", apprantly ignorant of the fact that... she was married to a Cuban.

Mind blowing. Huge fan of Maiden growing up and finally saw them last year. This proves their chops. I mean... imagine doing this to Shout at the Devil or RATT or Whitesnake....

I'd venture that the most important people in the history of TV comedy are Lucille Ball, Norman Lear, and James Burrows. I just made this up so I'm open to more suggestions.

The normalization of antisemitism is stunning.... just like Trumpism I guess it was always there and just needed something to bring it up to the surface.

it's also easier to brainwash them. That's not usually the intent by the parents because they themselves have been brainwashed. Check out the Duggar thing on Amazon Prime. Lots of people from my HS have homeschooled their kids after they spread out in the country. The "evil" public schools.

They have the right to spew it and you have the right to not read it. Bitching about what others believe and about them expressing it definitely gives off a “chip on the shoulder” vibe. Your unwillingness to simply be exposed to something you won’t agree with or like is what is closed minded.

I wrote a paper in college on the subject and do not recall the second Kant. Definitely the first.

When have I dismissed scientific evidence? Had anyone here?

That’s why it’s called faith. If there was evidence then it would be called something else. Faith and reason are mutually exclusive and answer different questions and serve different purposes.

But then it wouldn’t be the Big Bang would it? It represents a beginning.

Hinch did pay a price. He missed out on a year’s salary.

Harris obviously likes what he sees and as others have said they appear to be in sync. So why not? Orgs judge their managers on things fans aren’t privy to. It makes sense of that story where he listed his condo for sale. I’m guessing he’s buying a house now that he knows he will be here longer.
