1984Echoes

I saw them in '83 when I was at Fort Bragg... Metalhead days...

All the Young Dudes seem to be blossoming nicely...

Freakin' OUTSTANDING...!!!

And 1st downs are better than 3 plunges for 2 yards each into the line...!

Run that damn clock off!!!

The replay showed his eyes up on the ball tracking it so he didn't see Raymond's fair catch signal which... that signal was pretty minimal to be honest...

"injured while sliding awkwardly" hopefully just means a groin pull or something like that...

Yes. But... we'll take it!!!

I agree with the announcers... The ball looked like it broke the plane twice before they got backed up with that offsides... Nice goal line stand but I think they escaped there as well with some beneficial ball placement....

What happened to Lyon that he got knocked out of the game mid-2nd period...? Anyone see that...?

It looks to me like Melifonwu is having a really nice game...

Even with Stroud hurt he's already thrown for over 3,600 yards 20 TD's and 5 INT's... Hard numbers for a TE, as good as LaPorta's been... to out-glossy.

I heard of a new invention that they are calling "The Mute Button".... Anyone else heard of that?

It was. Vikings again lucky... This time with a non-flag...

In other words... Absolutely nothing.

That's what I thought... So... I don't see any reason, whatsoever, for folks to be complaining about letting him go since the Tigers didn't let him go. He player-opted out.

Chafin opted out last year. Was it a mutual option or player-only? I can't seem to find that...

The "should do well" part could have a pretty wide variation though... The high upside is if our pitching "whisperers" can really coax the max ability/ velocity/ pitchability out of him... With their track record... that's a major reason why I think Flaherty chose us and went with the 1-year bet on himself. For Detroit... It's all good, nothing but upside potential. The downside is he's a 5th starter innings eater which, as you've pointed out, we needed anyways.

Also... BOTH Olson and Mize are starters for now, even if one is pushed to Toledo to start the season... and NOT piggy-back relievers... PBRelievers TM would be Faedo, Wentz, maybe Montero, etc... IMO.

Is Brieske locked into being a reliever? I know Faedo is, and Montero and Flores and Wentz most likely are/ look better there/ or will end up there... But I didn't think Brieske was there (locked in) yet...

Too late... the Rays just traded Glasnow to the Dodgers...

This is my thinking as well. It's a frugal offseason... I would've liked one high-end starter added but am now doubtful we'll get that. We'll see about that surprise...

German and Danish police just foiled Hamas plot to murder Jews in Europe: (Just in case anyone still thinks Hamas is sweet and innocent...): https://www.yahoo.com/news/hamas-plot-attack-jewish-sites-163943338.html Hamas plot to attack Jews across Europe is foiled by police James Rothwell Thu, December 14, 2023 at 3:38 PM EST

None. I'm done.

Why does Israel have to drop an atomic bomb in order for the comparison to be apt?
