  1. Imagine a 20 year reunion of the 2012 team and a 350 pound Miggy comes out to the seating area.
  2. During election season there were Karmano people meeting at our civic center, where we work out. This group of people were far out The cars with stickers all over them people with hats and shirts fill or bottoms and other things they looked like clowns
  3. Even the base coaches are better
  4. I was interrogated about them a few weeks ago by someone who didn’t know that JV and Max play for the Mets. When I told him and the contracts he then went on about how they make too much money.
  5. Finley roasts the state GOP.
  6. I never knew any of that until I read a great book about the relationships between presidents. Roosevelt stripped Hoover’s name off the dam. Truman put it back.
  7. I’ll throw out Hoover and Truman as guys who got redemption. Truman just by paying more attention, thanks to the Ambrose book, and Hoover for his post WWII work on saving Europe from famine. Can debate it obviously. Ford just cashed it all in and joined any board that would have him.
  8. I’m sure Howard Kurtz will talk about it too. Right?
  9. Jimmy Carter entering hospice care. 98 years old.
  10. Straight up mafia tactic. “Pay us to not let people steal your stuff”. You are giving them money that they invest. It’s not a storage locker that you are renting for your money.
  11. They raised the price of at bat $10. Last couple of seasons I got it free for being a ticket holder. I love the convenience of not need to find a radio to listen. Mentally $30 is a big difference from $20 though.
  12. Censorship!
  13. Saw Ant Man. Liked it. Tight movie. Didn’t feel bored. Majors was awesome. Sets things up real nice. credit scenes are really good.
  14. Nope. Probably thinking he has some NDA/non-disclosure thing in play.
  15. Camp feels different this year. Throws are crisper. Guys are attentive. Motivated. Asking different questions.
  16. I didn't read it but doesn't the "need" for blackouts still exist due to non Bally networks? It's to protect their local partners ability to charge cable and satellite fees.
  17. Yep, I know. Which speaks volumes. They won't admit on air what's in the text messages. But even if you the answer... make them give it.
  18. Townhall readers think they're past their prime after 23.
  19. I think the Palace was a different situation altogether. They didn't move to LCA because of the Palace facility itself. Tom Gores saw an opportunity at LCA with it being downtown. It was about branding. They merged their entertainment companies into one business unit. He was able to sell/develop the valuable property in Auburn Hills. I think I've been to more Piston games at LCA than games at the Palace (After 1994) to be honest. Hated that place. Hated the drive. Hated the wait to get out of the parking lot. My son and his friends go to Piston games all the time. At the palace it never would have happened. They go to games and do other stuff while in Detroit. What's their to do in Auburn Hills but get lost in a corn field?
  20. I tell this story a lot but what I like about the stirrups thing is I hear people lament they don't wear them like the good old days. they aren't fans of how players today "do it". But when stirrups became a thing in the 60s it was led by guys like Joe Morgan and other black players as a form of solidarity. and people complained about it being showboating. Got that from Bouton's book. If they only knew.
  21. I wish proceedings like this could be televised. Imagine other networks broadcasting live from a courtroom and having Tucker's words read out. Better yet, imagine him on a stand admitting that.
  22. For sure.....
  23. Dominion should offer to settle for $1 million plus legal fees in exchange Laura, Tucker, and Sean must read a prepared statement written by Dominion admitting that they deliberately lied about that, they lie about current events, and are not to be trusted. They must read this for one week before their show begins. Then a disclaimer read thereafter before every fox program.
