I delivered a pizza to him once. I also remember hearing him do some NCAA tourny games.

I see that Al Avila is trending on twitter, click on it, and its people asking if he made this trade. Very harsh and undeserved.

Bo was not the god from Michigan when he ran the Tigers. Don't forget his association with Monoghan in general tarred his image. Remember SAVE TIGER STADIUM and the Tiger Stadium Fan Club? I assure you his time as Michigan's coach played no role in his perception to Tiger fans. In many ways it's a different fan base. My family were huge Tiger fans but couldn't give two shits about Michigan. Not anti michigan either. Just indifferent. He was just another football coach to us. The Ernie stuff was just icing on the cake. But to Bo's credit, it was WJR's management that pushed Ernie out and Bo fought for one more year. When the heat came Bo said it was his job to take it as the boss even if some of it was misaligned. Granted this is Bo's side of things through Mitch Albom but Joe Falls also checked it out. In his book Falls recounts that he was home sick when the news broke so he wasn't on the scene immediately. But he didn't think things looked right. Here's a guy who signed a one year contract, with a huge raise, then has a press conference, in their building, announcing he's being fired. He started digging and had arranged a meeting with Bo, then he gets there and he sees Mitch walking away from the house. That was another story but the fact he kind of cooborates what Mitch wrote makes me think it's the truth. Whether Beckman was pulling strings... who knows. But Ernie did say when he came back in 1993 or whenever it was, that Rick and Bob were cold toward him. He offered lunch dates and mentoring but that bob in particular wasn't interested. He got relegated to pre/post game shows. Rick is a great broadcaster with Seattle so I guess it works out. Just a shitty decision and unforced error. But I do think that fuss elevated Ernie above a level he might not have attained. All of his catch phrases and such were not quite as prominent pre-firing as you would think. Then they became a trademark. Think of George Blaha.... people like him but is he beloved? No. Now imagine the Pistons were going to fire him in 2006? Then they bring him back and viola, he's beloved. Blaha rules. Every bit the legend. We're blessed in this town.

Colbert's show the other night was dedicated to Space Force. He visited their base in Greenland. They did a segment of Karaoke and Sturgill joined in. He seemed a very good sport.

I know we have some Billy Strings fans in here... he's playing Pine Knob on June 16. Our boy is moving up. I'm on the fence about going. It's too far for me and depending on prices I dont know if it'll be worth it. Not taking any initiative but if my buddy gets tickets then I'll go I guess.

I think it's the Trump brand that is elevating the GOP. He's got a distinct group of 10% of today's GOP voters that won't vote for anyone else that's not in the family. These people aren't even Desantis fans. Once they go.... The problem is the only way to get them is to have the GOP nominee attend a Trump rally as if it's a Trump campaign. So yeah that might get those people but then you have the anti factor we see today. So who knows.... Couldn't happen to nicer people. I'd love to see Ronna dumped. Sold your family out... for what?

just stop.... nobody cares.

Joe has a lot more songs than I realized when I did that a few years ago. Like an idiot I didn't even know of the James Gang. I knew the songs obviously. I got to see the Eagles in 2017 and while the show was heavily choreographed and exactly what you would expect and probably the same precise show they play every single night, seeing Joe play Hotel California even without Felder, was great. I got free tickets so that helped. No way I would pay Don Henley prices to see the band as they are today... no shot at Vince Gill either. I like him.

Because of some friends I have I think I have a good window when I eavesdrop on this Facebook posts. This guys is done with Trump. All in on Ron. But so many people are already calling Desantis deep state. These are people who believe in 2000 mules. They really exist. it’s not a stretch that without trump in the picture are we in some kind of 2012 model?

Jesus this conversation is boring

I saw her on some clip with 3 others doing a "prayer circle" about the "stolen election"

Man.... people are impatient. Signing players is not just a matter of throwing money at them. You can't put a gun to their head. You need to offer a reason for another team to give you good players. Rebuilding isn't just a matter of going to the store and trading 3 players worth 2 points for 1 player worth 8. You don't go into a general store with a wish list and the guy comes back with your items.

What's good for the D's with 51 as opposed to 50, is now I think they have a real majority on committees. Under 50/50 it was even. They can counter program whatever lunacy McCarthy has going on in the lower chamber.

Because somehow it’s accepted that “city folk” aren’t real Americans.

He only did if because Kardashian brought her boobs into the oval office and sat on his lap and probably nuzzled him into it.

Was it really a joke? It seemed believable to me. Ben got in some heat during the season when he made a “get off your knees” joke to a reporter that he had to walk back as just busting balls between friends.

My twitter folks seem to think it’s going to be pretty close and not a blowout. Relatively speaking I guess considering it’s a runoff which is a result of a close election so a term like blowout needs context.

I'm 'guessing that's taken from the maccabes building on the WSU campus. that's Woodward and Warren. They didn't have drones then 🙂

She mouthed off when Porcello won the Cy Young over him in '16 then had to backtrack that she was just joking.

So next year the Phillies can under achieve and DD can get fired and leave the team with a bunch of large contracts they aren't happy with?

I did the same thing a few years ago. laughingly bad. Like a parody. And it was so familiar even though I hadn’t listened since the first few months it came out. CD was cool though.

It’s fake.

But the clips and sources I have seen were of people saying that at that time. i was born in ‘73 so I have no input. I once saw an anecdote that when people say “I like all music except country” there is a hidden bias against “rednecks”. When people say “I like all music except rap” there is a hidden bias against “black culture” if not blacks themselves. I wonder if the “I hate disco “ started that way. Sure many if not most were referring to Disco Duck type things. But like many things once it goes mainstream then it does suck, like many genres.
