  1. Yeah... I actually REALLY LIKED sagnam's post because it was a nice summary of the many, many crappy officiating instances where they try to F over a team. In fact, I think I am going to have to go back to his post and show him some love to show that there's no hard feelings at all... Peace and love dudes!!!
  2. If we get crappy lottery luck this year (again): Would we be happy drafting Brandon Miller? That is some outside shooting we could really use... and some nice height to go with it...
  3. Dude... Aaron mentioned the missed grounding and I said it was already mentioned... quoting YOUR post... so I'm saying that YOU already mentioned it. So... what was your issue?
  4. Power Forward.
  5. TIE, TIE, TIE, TIE!!! Get a fucking TIE you NIMRODS!!!
  6. The Rams are going to fucking blow this...
  7. PS: That also helps draft position as the Rams stay in the #6 spot instead of falling to #7. A tie actually is the best possible outcome for the Lions.
  8. Yes. At 8-8-1, Lions have a better record 9-8 if they win over the Packers...
  9. I chalk that Panthers game up to: Frigid weather, concrete-like turf, and the Lions just froze up due to these conditions. Which I hope was a learning event for the team, and I'm certain Campbell harped on it that week. The team is going to face adverse situations - weather, officiating, other - and they are going to have to fight through any of that in order to get to the top. I think they folded in Carolina and they can't do that if they wanna win. Especially once they're in the playoffs.
  10. I thought that last part was due to my sunny disposition...? 😉
  11. I'm assuming that any major trade that we make in that vein absolutely would include a 1st rounder... Not even necessarily this year's 1st but next year's, at a minimum. But I'm just guessing.
  12. No I LOVE politics but... uhhhh... Sometime I'm a little too intense... so I avoided it for the longest time... My emotions are dangerous.
  13. Definitely, estrepe was the best of us. I've only opened up politically in the past 5 or 6 years or so... Probably why I don't remember them so much. I actually recognize the avatar names... just not much in the way of conversation. I was all sports/ only sports for the longest time... or only made time for that in a busy life... I remember DTroppens and Cult of Pena (also mentioned above) moreso...
  14. They're already ahead of the Rams. Not great for us because if the Colts win and the Rams lose then the Rams would jump up a spot in the draft... But I don't want to think about all those complications or my head will explode...
  15. I prefer the happy spin...
  16. I understand the sentiment... But I also think that Turner is the key type of player that changes the team in an immensely positive way. Specifically on the defensive end. And the rest of the talent on the Pistons is on rookie contracts so I'm less concerned about money on a Center than on adding a transformative player to the team.
  17. Sweden says that they WON'T be able to meet each and every one of Erdogan's demands. Biden needs to call Erdogan right now and tell him to quit fucking around and let them into NATO NOW!
  18. That could be just a money ploy, and I wouldn't blame him for trying to cash in after a really nice year... And if it's just money, give him the best offer and he'll come back to Detroit (IMO).
  19. I only vaguely remember omf and mattingly... I think they were not so active in later years? But that's a good list: JonBenke, Yoda, DaYooper, Shelton & Biggs were all pretty big contributors on Motown Sports...
  20. I would give Chafin his money... Put one vet in the BP just to babysit the kids. And... Chafin is LH'ed, and GOOD, and limits walks/ controls the strike zone. He has to be the "perfect" guy to add to the BP at this point. Don't care about the money. Money's not an issue at all... and neither is the 2 OR 3 years. One last point. He's a tradeable guy. If not this year (by Harris's choice, to keep him for his leadership), then next year (by... popular demand). For a decent haul I would think as well... "Gy'ive thy'at man hees mon-ey."
  21. Who are the most notable missing from Motown Sports? Benke and Yoda are the two that mostly pop up in my head...
  22. I don't know about Frank Reich... But I like your Lions draft. Add a RB (whoever falls/ is available) in the 3rd round and backup O-Line, Kicker, etc. in the later rounds and THAT'S a draft.... !
  23. I would kill to add Myles Turner to the Pistons...
