A stop?!

Need a strip sack TD.

Is Teslaa even dressed?

Rams FG, FG, TD, TD surrounding a couple of Lions’ 3 and outs. 20-0 run.

54 second 3 and out. Nothing like giving the Rams possession at midfield against defense. Will be a miracle if hold them to a FG here. And as I type, already down to the Lions’ 11.

Sack. And just like that the game has shifted.

1st and goal wouldn’t have been an automatic TD, the way the Rams have been snapping it today and if the God forbid the refs decided to call offensive holding on the Rams for once.

How is that a touchdown? If he lost possession, it hit the ground and is incomplete. If he retained possession, he was down at the 1.

That iffy holding call changed everything.

The next 90 minutes will be interesting. At halftime: Lions up by 7. Packers up by 2. Seahawks down by 7. Niners up by 7.

The Lions’ offense is fixe

I’d go for it. If you punt away, Stafford will use the 2 minutes to score a TD anyways.

I’m entertained. 17-14 Lions.

Hutch!!

Ugh, decent drive, zero points.

Another shutout win for the Wings, 4-0, as they wrap up a fine 4-1-1 road trip.

Another good night for the Copp-Kane-DeBrincat line. Then Finnie adds one. 3-0 Wings over Hawks in Chicago, late in 2nd.

Listening to the Canucks’ press conference yesterday, their conclusion by this fall that Hughes was 100% not going to sign with them was due in large part to Hughes wanting to be back east to be close to his brothers. So question is whether that means only NJ or whether Detroit would be close enough. I like my own brother very much but unless I have a chance to work for the same company as him I couldn’t care less whether he is one province over or three provinces over.

Doesn't look like Minnesota has a particularly high chance of signing Hughes. I can see him back on the trade market this summer. Multimillion question is how open is Hughes towards playing anywhere other than New Jersey in 2027

From May 14.

Darn, I really wanted the Wings to get Hughes. Will wait and read what others think about the return.

One of these days I've got to meet him. Not as a fanboy (I'm 58), but because I think he'd get a chuckle that someone has been wearing his jersey since 1984 to probably a couple dozen games in half a dozen NHL rinks. Ogrodnick is still quite active in alumni events, including as recently as the 100th anniversary week in November. I had been home to Sarnia the week before so just missed that (also was home last week but no Wings games so I went to Bucks @ Pistons instead, my first time in LCA in a few years).

Bingo!

This is the part that is the real game-changer IMO. If he had simply had an affair and no pregnancy or stalking had been involved, Michigan even could have found a way to keep him if they had wanted to. It still wasn't too late for Moore to save himself after the woman fessed up though - if Moore only had been fired, he would have found at least an OC job elsewhere as soon as next year. The arrest for serious domestic abuse reasons is what has ended his career and made Michigan look like they hired a psycho as coach.
