He can come to one of my fitness classes. We're allowed to bring one guest for a period of time. He will find young arab women in sports halter tops with not much coverage than a sports bra. He'll see others in full body clothing that covers their entire arms, legs, and head. We all work out together in the same room, men and women, in varying amounts of clothing. Nobody gets beaten. For sure there are patriarchal elements at play but that goes on in every culture. The whole "Trad Wives" thing among the evangelical right is just another form of what they probably bitch about in their perceptions of the Muslim world.

All season long I felt like Toronto was the best team in the AL and they proved it. Was glad the Lions game ended when it did so I could watch completely and see Springer's HR. My wife used to not care about the Lions. I did see the 3 DP's Toronto turned.

Yes. I always knew about it but at some point during the internet era I heard his rendition and thought it was beautiful. But... different times I guess. Since Ernie was respnsibile for having him do it he got in trouble.

Skubal is awesome and I won’t mind if he finished a HOF career as a tiger at market value. But he’s one player. One of 5 starters. A good system can’t guarantee a player of his caliber all the time, nobody can, but it can get you 3 guys who are 85-90% of him. You still need to win the other 80% of the games he doesn’t play.

I still follow some “sensible” people who were once “right” but today there’s no national or state level Republican office holders promoting any policy I would support. These people are stuck doing podcasts and substacks preaching to the choir. They don’t have a seat at any table. It’s nothing but slogans. “We want secure borders, no fentanyl, low taxes, no trans people, Jesus back in schools, no gay marriage, no abortion”.

Moderators cannot read private messages

You want to know why this board has more “left” peoole? Because it’s impossible to intelligently defend the right anymore. That’s all been used up. The only “right” posts are nothing but troll jobs that lack logic and any standard of normal thought. Oh yeah stray person might chime in and say otherwise but they never post because deep down they know they can’t defend it.

And right leaning folks bitch and whine when they and their people get called Nazis.

“Let’s”? Your ass isn’t doing ****. It’s always those who sit home that have the biggest mouths and are the most eager for others to lift a finger

To think he almost got fired in 1968

There could be. My son likes him because he’s heard him on college football, not because of his anecdotes. It’s a familiarity thing I suspect. His Dennis Millerisms are are not the draw since a lot of them to over the 24 year olds head. I remember a few years ago hearing Costas on an MLB network playoff game. Just have been one of those one game wild card games. I think he was with Jim Kaat. It was like a retro 1990s throwback game. He made an Albert Belle reference. He talked about about how the game is “more international” now. It made me wonder if he has had watched a game in 20 years and assumed his audience hadn’t either

What was the old joke about the kid asking his mom why all the Olympic athletes from ARG had German names?

I didn’t get my check today.

Waiting to see what Chris Mathews has to say.

Good. He should be shamed and humiliated. Does Mr Marine have the guts and character to say the same thing?

He said he had the paperwork in his drawer.

You mean “he was black, therefore unqualified”. We all see it. I will say if again, loudly and proudly, any member or former member of the military who supports these attacks on boaters is a disgrace to the uniform and unfit to call themselves an American. Its flat out murder.

That article is clickbait. The $250M gap references different points in time. That was before last year. So it's not like the Tigers are sitting here thinking "This is what we think he's worth". It's what they were starting with before he had his 2024 season. Skubal is going to become a FA. There's not a shred of doubt in my mind. He knows his place in negotiation history.

more GH Bridge love.... this is looking south along I 75 at the Interchange. That overpass being worked on is Junction street, which I grew up on. 75 seemed so far away as a kid but when I checked, it was... 2 blocks. Are you kidding me? When you are 6 years old I guess that's far.

Walk up music has been going on before most members of Gen Z were born.

Bill Lajoie had a great run as scouting director and GM with the Tigers until Monoghan figured he needed to Ann Arbor the franchise and bring Bo in. Lajoie later picked up rings working for the Braves and Red Sox.

JB is worth $3.4B. Those winnings proportionally speaking, would be like a person worth $500K winning $800. 15 years ago I won $300 on a slot machine in Windsor. Our rich uncle got us “free” tickets to see a rat pack tribute show and it included dinner. I figured for all that I could put $20 (Canadian) into the slots. On one of the first few pulls I won. Immediately Cashed out. Bought a drink for the wife and I and saw a great show. It didn’t make the news. our rich uncle eventually passed with very little to his name. The casino knew how.to make an old polish man who never married or had kids and spent his life taking care of his turn of the century immigrant parents and later on his widowed older sister feel important. But it made him happy.

I can tell that’s not the Republican version of the flag because it lacks a swastika.

Blue lives matter though. It’s almost as if the entire exercise of being a republican is just a smokescreen to be a racist ****
