Shep has a bit of Hawk in him. Not a fan of “sits him down” as a strike out call. I don’t recall Mario targeting the oppo like that. Comes across as a little too homerish.

Not too surprised except that it came now. Unless Fox panicked and upped their offer. As I said I can’t blame dominion. Their responsibility is to themselves. If you as a business sue for defamation then the resolution is a business resolution. It’s not their job to fix the political media landscape. (I stole that sentence from twitter)

Shep assumes the fans are all leaving without knowing there's a 2nd game coming up in about 30 min?

What exact agenda offends them? Who is harmed by whatever it was that Disney did. Be nice to LGBTQ. that's their beef. Remember that. I wish we had some smart right wingers around to explain to me the problem because I know I'm now biased the other way but I'm open to being told I'm wrong and there's something I'm not considering.

If everyone followed Ron's direction and felt Disney was too "woke" and decided not to go... what does that do to Florida's tax revenue?

agree with your decision on posting here.

frankly congress needs more of people like her, specifically women. In most cases, I think they're smarter at running things.

If I were at that point and deciding where t live I would probably avoid Florida for that reason, along with the weather. We've gone to Florida twice in the last few years and I happen to like the climate. But after staying in Ft Myers Beach last year and seeing that destruction turned me away. Maybe in 10 years it will be different. I always told my wife if we lived there we'd be cheap in terms of furnishings, assuming it might all be washed away, and we'd keep a few emergency totes of boxes stored away with our important stuff and if a storm is coming, grab the totes, and head north somewhere until it's over and we've lost nothing important.

They like to throw in lines of dialog similar to what was in a movie.... like "this is the life we've chosen" vs Hyman Roth's "This is the business we've chosen"

Barry was good. I started watching The Offer on Paramout+. It's about the making of The Godfather. I've read pretty much everything about how that got made, so to speak, and it lines up with the history/legends. Good cast. The guy that plays Robert Evans is spot on. It's a fun watch.

I still call it US cellular or the cell. And Jacobs Field. Honestly I bet if you gave me a list of all the stadium names I would miss 1/3 of them if I had to match to the team.

“When I was a kid….”

“Just shows women have no sense of business. It’s a man’s game”

Who is telling him that this is a path to the presidency? Florida is Disney. They need Disney more than Disney needs Florida.

also with Ford Field is that we have one in Dearborn and there's another in Livonia... there's so many things around here called "Ford (Something)" that it's not viewed as a corporate name but rather a person.... like Bennet Park or Navin Field.

People who aren't going to the game, wasn't going to watch the game on TV, and don't really care about the game in general are complaining that there is no game.

I hate people. Then I have someone IM'ing me at work because he's listening to 97.1 and.....

Rumors are we'll have a DH tomorrow.

It was a 30 year deal right? If they changed it people would still call it Comerica. Because it rhymes with America it doesn't seem corporate to me

I think "on duty" is the key. However that is defined.

just some tourists

What I meant was if after all of this Dominion ends up with nothing after the Roberts court overturns anything are you going to help them recover their costs since they did what you wanted them to do instead of taking the settlement money? Dominion is owned by private equity and well..... they are not in it for the honor. Any settlement short of giving Fox what they deserve would be disappointing to me. But I'd understand their reasoning.

Of course not. Facebook posts under media pages are a hoot.... that's where the dirty people are. Lots of "I seen that" and "they should of"... you might see references to "an oriental". On one of our dearborn history groups someone posted a picture of an old shopping center, a guy from Florida (of course) who used to live here says "It's all ARAB now". Just like that... in caps. ANd his profile picture was a fishing boat.

I don't either but this is a civil suit, not a criminal one. Are you willing to fork over some $$ to Dominion to cover any of their damages for doing the honorable thing and risk getting paid in a timely manner, if at all? Even with a conviction nothing really would change. It would be an confirmation of what everybody knows but they will just go about doing what they are now. A civil conviction has no mechanism to make them change their ways other than threats of future lawsuits by somebody. The law can't do anything. What they did isn't technically a crime.
