  1. Nope. Probably thinking he has some NDA/non-disclosure thing in play.
  2. Camp feels different this year. Throws are crisper. Guys are attentive. Motivated. Asking different questions.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Townhall readers think they're past their prime after 23.
  6. 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?
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. For sure.....
  10. 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.
  11. I believe that's what they mean when they say "mansplaining"
  12. Hate sharing their tweet b/c it's townhall but jeez Don..... this is bad.
  13. Because of a small computer error in 1969, Apollo 12's third stage comes back to earth orbit every 30 years.
  14. Tigers announce all midweek games start at 6:40. They started this a few years ago in April and September. It's tough for some people to get there by then but I guess they based it on "fan feedback".
  15. Isn't Eminent Domain predicated on there being no other reasonable options for a development that serves a general public good, at least on paper? It has to be tied to a specific proposal, not just because something is not being done somewhere. Like building a factory but one guy with a shed won't sell for less than $8 million so he holds it up?
  16. I don't think anybody here disagrees with you.
  17. It's not a hill I would die on. Other things they are doing bother me way more. I guess I see it like the 10th should be normal, that's similar to the 5 min 4 on 4 OT in hockey. Do that, then the shoot out. Play the 10th, then do this in the 11th.
  18. Pretty soon everywhere is going to be "STRONG"
  19. I think Romad might appreciate this because we're around the same age, maybe a few others. In the 1993-1997 era, this kind of thinking was so prevalent on talk radio which was reaching it's peak. In Detroit we had Mark Scott pushing it. Limbaugh didn't quite get that far but you didn't have to spin the dial far to come across it. I dabbled in it a little but then you started to also see nazi stuff so I bolted. They might not have been sitting in the same pews at the church but they didn't kick them out either.
  20. you don't say?
  21. I don't understand the strategic dynamic it's supposed to add.
  22. I wasn’t affected directly but having a 22 year old meant I have quite a few friends with kids there. Family in other states reached out because they weren’t sure if my son went there and wanted to check in.
  23. Right. When legislators proudly wear gun pins on their suits and post for Christmas cards with their guns, one for each member of the family….
