Nixon going to China didn't last that long in the grand scheme. He was still a crook.

Baseball has definitely developed problems with the lack of balance between markets. The NFL may hate the Lions and love the Chiefs but they all get the same salary levels.

yes

This is really going to be felt in 2026 when we have NextCOVID, air crashes are all over the place, the military riots because they hate picking up trash in Ann Arbor. Or maybe people are just happy to be fed and pay their landlord in rabbit pelts. https://www.msn.com/en-us/politics/government/historic-wave-of-retirements-is-putting-huge-strains-on-the-government/ar-AA1Omdv1

This is where Chris Illitch could be remembered as fondly as his father. I'm sure there are some Illitch kids who only want money and the city of Detroit is just a damnable thing their Dad or Granddad wanted to help in some vague way that only extended to surface parking. But, the Ford family is getting a LOT of traction from Michigan Central station and the Gilbert name is being put up there for all his works in the city. Sign Skubal, get that bat...and lets not remember you as the "Gristle Tigs"

Ya don't say. I realize you definitely have been through the same Lions Fan Fury Sundays as we all have. Just being sarcastic for my own therapeutic ends. I wonder if MCDC is going to do to pull a 2024 Dallas game out of his team this Monday night. We will need one for sure.

I can imagine the fans of other AFC teams really must be sick of the Chief's force field against penalties.

I don't know if this would actually make a difference in the bottom line but if the Tigers want to sell season ticket and luxury boxes, signing Skubal early this offseason would be a good way to do that. Then go get that RH bat we need.

I know SOL isn't really in effect, except....Lions fans do get to learn the League's obscure rules in the moment more than any fanbase.

What a wonderful weekend for Michigan's sports teams.

It would be amazing if they did resign Skubal. Nothing would make Chris Illitch's stock rise higher. Perhaps, like NIL a consortium of Detroit loving financiers could get together to invest in the left arm of the best SP in the American League. Ford family, Penske, Gilbert?

consider the situation. People are actually worried that the government is going to take reprisals because you have dissenting opinions to the dear leader. There are plenty of real examples so its not a fantasy. Its hard not to want to vent.

Israel?

Dual-code this for the Trump's diminishing mental state thread. Unless he's just a liar. I mean he's the anti-Christ so...

So, big No Kings Day protests coming this Saturday. Federal workers are likely to be pretty riled up here in the DC area. The entire workforce is put at risk by the ideological idiot in charge of OMB. My wife is in the final couple days of her federal service (likely judged by some toothless wags as being a lazy dem bureaucrat) but because of that service she will not attend the big No Kings Day.

A losing road game after last night's Tiger game does not appeal to my soul.

Not looking good for the road team tonight.

Franklin is just not a good coach. The question is if Sherrone Moore is.

Note the pol thread that has Tiger content

@IdahoBert if the Tigers did name the stadium Rosa Parks field... YOU WANT THE TEXAS NATIONAL GUARD TO OCCUPY THE CITY BECAUSE THAT'S HOW YOU GET THE TEXAS NATIONAL GUARD!

NOTE THIS take and I'll post something in the pol forum for you...

I was noting to the wife that today's forum is all over the map. A lot of passion and a little bit of perspective.

I loved that Melton and Montero came through that unscathed. Those two can be pieces.

Interneting... I'm being accused of being on drugs because I think a player who is an elite defender who has shown pop and awesome baserunning ability should be given a little more time to determine what he is. He's not Jacoby Jones...or, maybe he is Jacoby Jones but we still don't know that.

I wish Queensryche's Operation Mindcrime were more well-known and canonical. If it were Gen Xers in this thread I'd have posted this in response:
