  1. I'll give him some benefit of the doubt in the sense he might have thought she as of age, and I am receptive to defenses that this was a setup.... but everyone has an obligation and duty to ensure the other person is of age. It's not a legal or moral excuse. He should face the same consequences any regular person would face.
  2. Did baseball reference change their site so that you can't summarize selected rows? I used to be able to look at a player's page or a team's results page, click a row, then click another row, and it would summarize the data between those two rows.
  3. Yeah I check his site daily. Although too many of the links go to fringe places. I find his use of imagery to be quite troll ish. In a good way. another one that was a go to was instapundit. And James Taranto’s best of the web today.
  4. Yep. Just like when you ask a Republic congressman or governor “did Biden win?” And they say “He’s president”
  5. I wonder if these blond Fox-ish right wing bimbos are so bitter because they had to **** men like Rupert Murdoch to get on the air and are jealous of the mainstream female newscasters who didn't?
  6. can't believe in a former life I used to have Townhall bookmarked for daily reading.
  7. Here's a great version of The Weight. I think it might be the perfect song. I love it when you have something like a music festival or tribute show and this kind of song is the finale and you have 25 legends on stage singing it. The best part about The Last Waltz is Neil Young's cocaine booger.
  8. He's on his third team since DET traded him..... once that happens I sort of forget them as former Tigers, HOF players excluded of course.
  9. Regarding being able to sign Miggy….. unfortunately they were able to sign him twice.
  10. Gary Hart was disqualified because he was on a boat with another woman. Jimmy Carter's Chief of Staff resigned because he looked at someone's cleavage and might have done coke (This was the 70s).
  11. Rod Allen also wore #12.
  12. I hope the GOP keeps running on abortion. It’s a real winner.
  13. Lottery is for picks 1-7. Tigers currently sit at 7th worst. I don’t think draft position is a consideration.
  14. He’s Nixon. Do you think Desantis has any friends? Like old college buddies? Maybe from the Navy?
  15. Deserves his own thread. He was a good man. He was also a very nice man. May Jack's Place for Autism live on.
  16. Someone synced up a segment to the Avengers Assemble scene and it's brilliant. I took a personal day yesterday for some errands and spent an hour or so in the afternoon seeing all of these videos. It was fun. One guy was like "If a black person is swimming to come get you.. you done messed up AAron."
  17. I think being a woman too actually helps. They like that. It gives them cover. But she's flip flopped on Trump a few times. It all comes down to someone getting Trump's blessing. He'd have to annoint his successor. He might do that to her because she's kind of a "pretty gal" and he could pretend he got sexual favors in exchange for it. He could make some snide comments like "well you know it wasn't free, I'll just leave it at that". If he picks someone else then a substantial amount of his support will transfer. But I doubt he would and I am not convinced it would be enough to matter.
  18. I honestly had no idea who that was
  19. and in some of those cases we traded decent players for decent players who played a different position, like Joyce for Edwin Jackson. That's how it's supposed to work. I wonder if moves like that help future moves for your org because it creates an impression. "They have good players" type of thing. In other words if you "win" every prospect side by dealing prospects who don't pan out do other organizations begin to question your system? Is it better long term to maybe not "win" so many of the deals where you obtain MLB players for your prospects?
  20. Crime against Twins are acceptable.
  21. it's funny to look back and realize for sports talk in the 1988-1993 time frame all we had was the weekly Mitch Albom/Mike Stone sports show on WLLZ and later WJR, then the nightly WJR Sport Wrap that came on, I think it was 6:30 to 8, if there were no Red Wing or Tiger games. The names I recall were Frank, Larry Henry, Paul Chapman, Jimmy Barret (later the PA guy at Tiger Stadium). Oddly enough, I recall one night when Rizzs and Rathbun hosted the show like a day before they were fired. Maybe WJR called them in for a "meeting" and said "Ok, before our meeting tomorrow why don't you guys go on the air and fill in this show". I remember them kind of laughing their way through it as they had no idea what to do or talk about. Then they got dumped and Frank the hero Beckman came in to "save the day", which as someone suggested, may have been the Machiavellan play all along.
  22. Dombrowski gave Chadd a life boat?
