  1. That’s a conspiracy I can get behind. He’s a snake and at some point people might see Trump is of no use to them anymore. The high powered tech folks will move on to JD as their puppet and hope for the best.
  2. Love it when right wing maga-jobs pretend to care about others.
  3. MTG is the person on facebook complaining about the garbage collections and all of that then gets elected to council and realizes it's not easy. She specifically referred to her kids losing coverage for health care. Yeah. It's easy being "small government" until you need something.
  4. That's very good to know. I have to cancel my Athletic as the latest promo expires. I would use it more but it never remembers who I am and having to log in again is just enough to make me not care to read it.
  5. Tigers do well in ratings so I think they'll do right, if they can.
  6. Did Bob Ryan give him that nickname? I can hear him saying it. I was in New Orleans once when the Super Bowl was there. I saw Bob leaving a bar at like 2 pm, looked pretty lit. By himself. In my defense i had just arrived and was meeting co workers who were already there. Our work was already done. I arrived a day early to party.
  7. Wow. I had no idea. I could have been a bowler? My ring, middle, and index finger were caught in a door in fifth grade. Next to last day of school. 1984. Door closed. 30+ stitches. The tip of my middle finger is gone. My ring finger is slightly deformed and I broke the index finger. First few weeks of summer vacation sucked. Certain songs of that era make me think of soaking my hand in some kind of solution while watching MTV. That middle finger was he’ll playing baseball on cold days if I got jammed. It was numb for 2 innings.
  8. A friend in the industry tells me that the Detroit incarnation hasn’t paid their truck fees all month and that Channel 20 is something that the Ilitches have had their eye on for awhile.
  9. I don’t know the current arrangement but tbeir original MLB advanced media group and its later entities ran a lot of NHL and nascar and other things. NHL network was run out of MLB studios. Maybe it still is? I haven’t paid attention lately but their web and streaming services had a wide net.
  10. Because of an injury as a kid to my middle finger I can’t grip a bowling ball in the holes without it being painful. So I just always gripped the ball and chucked it. I’d hit about 150 regularly. When I was 13 a friend needed me for his league one weekend. I got on some Larry bird 3 point contest groove and had 6 or 7 strikes in a row. 230+. I shanked the 10th.
  11. I’ve been voting since 1992 and have done nothing other than fill in a circle on a paper ballot.
  12. THere was an awesome photo going around of them holding a young Dan Levy as a young toddler.
  13. If it's any consolation that animal is only about 38% accurate.
  14. Enjoy. What I love most is that these are people you shouldn’t like. But they are all awesome. I record the episodes off CBC and I can watch any random episode and it’s still fun.
  15. It’s seasonal depression. We’ve not been above freezing in 2 weeks and no relief in sight. It’s snowed 19 straight days. The last few weekends I decided to make soup on either Saturday or Sunday to fill my time. Twice we’ve driven to twelve oaks mall just to move around and walk and be around peoole. I’ve been a member of our rec center for 20+ years. It was on this day 14 years ago I began going consistently. I would walk the track and listen to this relatively new thing called podcasts. Try a yoga class. The instructor is awesome.
  16. I remember Pete Weber growing up. I had to also watch bowling with my dad.
  17. On Apollo 14 the crew had a total of 15 min space time. Shepards Mercury launch. He was grounded early in Gemini but took a special surgery to fix his ear problem. Th other astronauts were not happy he got pushed to the front though he was their boss. The also had problems with the radar during the descent stage. An emergency software fix solved the problem in time before an abort. But some speculated Shepard wpuld have flown it without radar. He didn’t wait that long to go back into space just to abort.
  18. She either auditioned or was already cast on SNL during the Ebersol years but that was also when he brought back Michael O’ Donoghue and he was especially ornery. The first meeting he talked of destroying the show so she bailed. She might have been too good for that show.
  19. Jason Kelce’s wife…… I watched curling with my dad growing up. He loved it.
  20. I've not dug into any of this but I'm naturally suspicious of anything Epstein himself writes. First off, he appears to be stupid. Mispelling and poor grammar. He could be trying to document as much crap as possible to hold it over people and who knows what is true and isn't.
  21. Macauley Culkin with a tear jerking tribute.... damn.
