I'm sure Jack finds Jim's record really intimidating when they gather around the Thanksgiving dinner table....🤣 If I had wanted to take a slap at Harbaugh it would be that he's not even the best FB coach in the family. A) let's see if he wins the big one B) let's see if he sticks around either way.

not sure what that post has to do with anyone hating Harbaugh but whatever. Vince Lombardi wouldn't like to be sitting about to lose his #1 asset and having just heard that a potential replacement has stiffed him.

Well, considering how long it took him to come up with a QB like JJ as a recruiter, it might be tempting to have Williams served up to you on a platter.

It did take a pretty outstanding performance in net but you have to have those sometimes.

Nice win, buy Lyon had to save their bacon way too many times. Team still playing disgusting transition defense.

SEIDER!!! (off Ras)

OTOH he's also missed the net a lot tonight

This is Weaver remember....

Good time for the period to end, LA the faster team the last few minutes. They really don't think that even with a left stick Simon would be an upgrade on Petry or Holl?

Wings taking too many penalties. Kill a 90 sec 5 on 3 and promptly take another minor....

Red Wings give up a goal in the 1st 30 seconds, go ten minutes without a shot on goal, then tie it up on the Ducks 1st penalty.

Voter turnout in the US took a jump after (and probably because of) the civil right legislation post WWII and it's been on an upward trend again since about Obama - but it's still barely to 50% of the population. Given the US insistence on maintaining a relatively high level of inconvenience to vote, probably 25% of people who have some interest in voting end up failing to, so that plus the people who do vote gets you in the ballpark of 2/3 of the pop. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voter_turnout_in_United_States_presidential_elections

Intuitively you have to believe it's true because today you have at least as many relievers coming into games 'on schedule' as opposed to 'at need', but exactly how much would be interesting.

I don't know who is going to win except one case - which is if SCOTUS upholds Texas' right to ban abortion to save the mother at some point before the voting, then Trump simply cannot win.

a lot of problems with the pistons come down to this. Players do become better shooters, and it's important to have effective coaching to that end (apparently not Williams) and important to be able to realize when a player isn't going to get there (Hayes).

Yeah, it has traditionally been the case that Dems always had votes to win but not the turnout. The thing to watch however is that as the shift of the more educated suburban class from old style Main Street GOP identity to the ‘soccer mom’ Dems side goes to completion, Dem turnout has a fair probability of becoming more reliable. Turnout issues do remain in big blue cites though.

It doesn't seem to be in the cards based on early polling, but that's the other thing I wonder about: Is the value and accuracy of political polling sustainable as personal land line phone usage finally fades away completely?

TL,DR version: Tall guys that can shoot, yes; great 1990 5's, no.

Maybe it's just a weird thing with the Wings but it seem RH shots keep getting harder to find.

Very odd. Seems likely another shoe has yet to drop on this story but I can't imagine what it might be.

I only saw the one game he played but he looked at least top half of the Dman corp that's playing.

They do look more like an NBA team when they play this line-up.

Lee always argues not to take pitchers in the Baseball draft because of the wastage rate, but in the end you still have to have them, and you have to have goalies. Since good goalies don't get traded, it really doesn't matter if the probability of finding one in the draft is lousy, you still need to look for them. Copper ore is harder to find than iron ore, doesn't mean you can stop looking for copper because iron won't replace copper. Position players can't replace your goalie, you still need draft them. You can try to trade for them, but since they are harder to find than skaters, they will cost you more in trade-so the value prop ends up the same. That's what a market does. The only draft round rule I would ever take as a good hard rule is don't look for QBs outside the top of the draft

yup. It keeps coming down to this. You can take each of the Piston's misfit toys and make a case in vacuo that they could be useful (except maybe Wiseman - 🤣), but not all or even more than one on the same team. It's the roster construction that is the even bigger fail than any of the individual players, and the that goes straight to Weaver's incompetence as a GM.

Do teams have any CBA obligation to support a player (rehab facilities etc) who was injured while under contract whose contract has run out?
