  1. Intent matters. Do you think someone was trying to be pro nazi? From what I have read someone was doing some youtube trivia channel thing on the board and didn't screen the photos. Was someone trying to intimidate with this? Or be cute? I really don't think it harmed anyone. It was dumb and careless.
  2. agreed. I think he's done. Very admirable career. Lived up to his contract, rare for a pitcher to do that. I'm glad he was a Tiger. His performance out of the bullpen in 2013 was one of the greatest moments we saw during that 2011-2013 run.
  3. So the Hitler thing at Spartan Stadium on Saturday..... dumb. Obviously. Someone wasn't paying attention and was letting the trivia thing just go through its process. But the reaction has been overblown. I'm sorry but nobody felt 'unsafe'. That was a word I heard. Even with whats going on in the world. Let's not get stupid. I know MSU has its issues going on and has to put on a strong face in controversy but.... come on. Our kids are stronger than we think.
  4. I've been impressed with all the teams so far. Houston just looks like they know they will win. They went into Texas looking like they were up 2-0 instead of down 0-2. Last night Texas could have folded. It looked like Houston was about to take the lead. Arizona hung in there but I think Philly whoops them tonight.
  5. There’s a game 7 tonight. Hope there’s one tomorrow. Houston will take it and Philly wins.
  6. Yeah that one person in Wyoming.
  7. Mike Lawler again on CNN blaming democrats. "handful of members in our conference teamed up with democrats. Voters decided to have a republican house to be a check on this admin". Voters don't pick the entire house. They pick one of 435.
  8. you are closer but that whole thing puzzles me. He doesn't seem like their kind of guy but snatch him up, so quickly that some suggest he had overtures with them and that's what led to him being fired. He does what they ask, delivers a winner, then they get rid of him for doing that. It's like fooling around with someone, divorcing your spouse for that person, marrying them, then divorcing them for being someone who fooled around. They knew what they were getting. They got it.
  9. I see 15 for "others"..... I don't think that's going to get it done
  10. "The election was stolen! They tricked us!"
  11. I'm on the Phillie bandwagon. I've morphed into an anti-astros guy. Not because of the cheating or whatever. But they impressed me the way they marched into Arlington like they were up 2-0 instead of down 2-0.
  12. It made me angry to see them so close like that.
  13. Postseason counting stats are dumb. It’s always someone within the last 14 years now.
  14. I took that at the HOF a few weeks ago. One of Johnny Bench’s GG awards. For a real laugh here’s Trammell’s WS MVP award. Looks like something from 1897
  15. Either way two things can be discussed independently. What Hamas did last week was astrocious and horrible. They started this mess. Arabs/Muslims can cry all they want but when 2 days after these attacks they have rallies with dancing and singing.... not a good look. At all. Now you have all kinds of independent corrobaration on the hospital attack being self inflicted yet so many refuse to believe it and our own members of Congress continuing to propogate the lie.... honestly... shame on them. Their refusal to condem the attacks without adding some kind of qualifier is a disgrace.
  16. Not since Walter and Saul left.
  17. It might be a Michigan thing...? I looked it up. Started in Cleveland. Sanders in Detroit turned it up a few notches... a great lakes thing along with areas in AZ and FL.
  18. Why do people think other orgs won't see the things about our players that we see about them?
  19. Why is it never the Republicans fault for joining the dems and electing Jefferies? Why do the dems have to join the R's?
  20. Mike Lawler once again on CNN blaming Democrats for helping to create this mess. He did it 3 times in his interview. I didn't know it was their job to make sure a republican stays speaker.
  21. The US rep for the area, The mayor of the city of Dearborn, and the Chair of the Wayne County Commission (Sam Beydoun) are all spreading this lie on social media.
  22. The mayor of my city put out a long diatribe about this. He used to be a member of the state house. He called out our state leaders yesterday for their silence over the Israeli bombing of the hospital. I so want to ask him if perhaps it was because they waited for further information? It's rich to call out others for not speaking up on something that you got wrong. I won't do it because my so works for the city and I don't want to mess anything up for him. People will just believe what they want now. Facts do not matter. There's a significant portion of our population that will go on thinking an Israeli bomb did this and there's no going back.
  23. That’s where I am at. If tomorrow 3000 native Americans went into neighborhoods and started slaughtering white people would these lefties start saying “well you know we took their land and 500 years of oppression…”. Historical mistreatment is real and acknowledged but immediate slaughter and death is not justified.
