IDK anything specific either other than that according to the Griffin's home page he's on the roster and has played in some games.

I imagine at some point they also want to give Campbell some run at GR to see if he can find 'it' again as he has already shown he can be a decent pro in the past so Husso, Cossa and Campbell makes for a crowded goalie room at GR.

it would be funny if it were not tragic.

won't they just lose before an arbitrator? So he's demanded a trade, so have half the guys in the NBA today on the way to the HOF.

So play him once a week. Next Question? 😉

Maybe it will turn out better for the Lions as well. Did not want to play the same team twice in 2 weeks even if we did win going away.

and then there is this (from AP): LOL - Science provides data, what the hell it all means is up to us - 🤷‍♂️ Also the Wiki article on Erythosine says it was already scheduled to be banned by 2027 anyway. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

apparently. Bread and Circuses as SB likes to say.

don't look for egg prices to come down anytime soon - from Jan 10 WaPo: (note: 40 million hens would lay something in the order of 10 billion eggs in a year.....)

Rates are going to go up everywhere but FLA and CA are going to get hammered. So we'll probably see more people dropping their coverages and the next round of catastrophes there will be more uninsured people wiped out. Although this guy in the thread above argues the net effect will go in the opposite direction with more people ponying up for insurance before the 'next round'. I suppose that's possible too.

Wall Street pretty excited this morning with a CPI report that the Dec "Core" CPI increase fell to 0.2% , from 0.3% where it had been stuck since July. OTOH, overall CPI was up from 0.3% to 0.4% on the month.

a lot of shows might ben more fondly remembered if they had stuck to the original arc and wrapped it up when it made sense instead of retconning plot extensions - but too much money on the table. I'm actually quite surprised they didn't engineer a miracle remission for Walter White.

The thing I don't get is why the Trump supporters aren't more upset about these clearly incompetent picks. Look at every administration that was ever able to achieve its goals and the accomplishment is directly proportional to the quality of the top tier of people installed. Trump is basically a solo operator, he just wants people to direct so he doesn't care if his picks are independently able to initiate in their roles, but even after holding the job once he's a fool, because the job is way too big for one man be at the center of everything that needs to be done, especially one as allergic to hard work as Trump. So he is basically guaranteeing the ineptitude of his presidency. The only things the Trump admin will pay any attention to are the things that get all the way to Trump himself, and that's pretty much a recipe for a government >95% on autopilot. For those of us who believe Trump is more likely to damage than fix anything he touches, that's actually fine, but If you voted for him I don't know why you'd be happy about that.

If it were me, the chance I would look for is a big man drafted too young that his original team has soured on or can't wait for. I know they just had a colossal fail with Wiseman along those very lines, but I'm going to blame that one on the choice, not the concept.

😱😱😱 I've lived through every year of WCF's reign, which long ago forced me into a very Zen state about the Lions (about all sports teams really). Expectations have been extinguished so thoroughly I never visualize the future, only accept the "What Is". On the plus side, that means this is all gravy. Seriously though, at this point you aren't playing any bad teams. You have to enjoy it for as long as the ride lasts.

I guess we've finally failed Mr Lincoln's test question: "of the people, by the people and for the people" has indeed perished, apparently too highbrow. Instead we've opted for, "of the grifters, by the grifters and for the grifters" in its place.

No question they are a better team with Montgomery, Anzalone and Arnold so all good. But I'd still swap them for Hutch or McNeill if I could!

Bert approves.

As a matter of fact that there was a time when a powerful House committee chairman actually had to resign his chairmanship when he got caught drunk in the Tidal pool with a stripper.

I guess the downside with Clark is the chance he is one of those kids who just developed so fast and so early that he was miles ahead of his cohort, but then doesn't have that much of a ceiling once everyone gets older and catches up to him. But he's just turned 20, too soon to worry seriously about that.

Why would they target him instead of her - unless it was just a near miss on the chosen target? Reports also say he's had a couple of previous coronaries, so maybe, maybe not.

Oh the mystery of the maths. If the Wings are basically a 500 team, they have a 50/50 chance of winning tonight, yet the odds of an 8 in a row run for a 500 team are one in 256.

Hard to imagine Ukraine offering a pledge not to join NATO when they know that lack is what got them invaded in the 1st place.

No doubt. But I think you can make a connection between the left's embrace of AITF as a platform for liberalism being a missed or at least incomplete understanding, with today's liberal misunderstanding of the Trump voter. Archie may have lost the script battles in ATIF, but he was exactly the early representation of and hero to the white male frustrated by a culture that was leaving him behind regardless of whether he was winning or losing, and the conservative viewer identified with his sense of frustration and even with his losses in those cultural battles. Archie was still the 'sane' one among all the nutty people, and that's what the left viewpoint viewer misses when they think about what the show signified to its non-left leaning viewers. And I think Lear knew this perfectly well. He was first and foremost trying to create a popular show and if he could bask in the approval of his Hollywood cohort while still winking to the silent majority that yes, they were correct, left was ditzy, he was happy to do it -- and bank the proceeds.

Duren is still young but his development seems stalled/painfully slow, and you don't really want that to be true between the ages of 19 and 21.
