Because I think grading any draft before 3 years is absolutely pointless, let's look back Round 1 - Jahmyr Gibbs - A+. Raised a lot of eyebrows at the time, didn't it? Round 1 - Jack Campbell - A+ Yeah, it took a little longer to come together, but he's their Chris Spielman. Round 2 - Sam LaPorta - A+ Dude's a game-changer. Could not have predicted the injury Round 2 - Brian Branch - A+ A game-changer from his very first game. Again, can't count injuries against them Round 3- Hendon Hooker - F. It was a very puzzling pick. I understand wanting to take the next QB, but he was never going to be the next QB and they couldn't use him. Round 3 - Brodric Martin - F. He played in only 6 games and did not make an imipact Round 5 - Colby Sorsdal - OL D At least they got a little use out of him. He was a 5th rounder, after all Round 7 - Antoine Green - F. Even for a 7th rounder - a 1-catch for 2 yard career isn't much I give this an A-. The Top Half was absolutely an A+. Four players that could be major pieces for a Super Bowl run. Those four picks were so strong that the failure of round 3 still keeps it in the A range for me. But that 3rd round, yikes. Get average 3rd round performances out of those two picks and maybe they actully would have won a Super Bowl. Depth players that could have come in handy in these last two injury-littered seasons. Injuries have derailed a couple of those A+ guys, hopefully only temporarily.

I am very cynical with all this crap. That AI asking for your name and address - it's recording your voice and I think there is the STRONG possibility that somewhere down the line the recording of your voice will be used to get you into something you never agreed to do. "Well, we've got a recording of you giving your info for this.......". Sure, it would be foolish for major companies to do this, but look what Wells Fargo did with customer information. Opened millions of fake accounts. They got busted. Paid a fine (which was far less than what they probably gained in the scam) and then they DID IT AGAIN. only using info from people who weren't their own customers. Gee, wonder where they got that info? Wells Fargo shouldn't be allowed to exist anymore, yet people still kneel to them. I'm just so beaten down by all of it. I just don't get why there is so much dishonesty and scumbaggery in this world and especially in this country (because the wealthy NEVER get punished in the USA). We've reached a point where dishonesty is celebrated and when you just live your life in relative honesty and with relative integrity, YOU are the one that's the outsider. A.I. is only going to accelerate it all.

They're gonna replace him with Chad Tracy, who will get them playing better and get an extention. Like Don Kelly.

Wow, that didn't take long.

Alex Cora out as Red Sox manager. One of the best managers they ever had. How long until Alex is named Mets skipper?

All I can remember about that draft is that when the Lions drafted him, the talking heads didn't say a word about him. Because nobody knew anything about him. Scenario: Bill Belichick called Bob Quinn to catch up and casually mentioned how high the Patriots were on this kid from Hawaii nobody heard of. Bob, I think we're really gonna take this kid, if he's available. Bob listened.

I don't know. I just know it's gonna rain for a long time there. What they do with that is a mystery to me.

Well in fairness, Connor Stallions relayed where his feet would be before the play...............

Have you seen my driveway. It's very wet. And the radar..........well, they aren't finishing this one tonight. It's going to rain heavily for hours

Because they are trading down and picking up a 3rd rounder to go down a few spots and get the player they wanted anyway?

Carson Beck. WTF?

The Raiders traded DOWN ? WHAT? Just kidding. But if anyone would it would be them.

I was at work in my office. It's a radio station, so there are often loud noises coming from somewhere (it's actually 3 stations). My office is in the back corner of the building, away from most people. It's perfect - because after 2pm I get to listen to music loudly without bothering anyone. I was watching online. Anyway, as soon as Tork hit that ball I yelled THERE YOU GO, GET ON THE BUS !" and two people from the total other side of the building came over to check if I was okay. Another one said (from a distance) "there was a Tigers game today, he does that".

THE BUS IS HERE

The Double Dutch buss is warming up....................

AND THE BUS IS HERE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He's a true Tigers closer, isn't he? Never easy.

The bus is stuck at the last stop, it hasn't moved.

It's a block away now.................

You can hear it coming down the street. You can hear the squeak in the breaks with every stop. It's rolling closer. Two blocks away now

So Juan Soto, who is injured, has allegedly not even spoken to his teammates during this 12-game skid. I always kind of wondered what a player's real role is when they are injured. I remember seeing Casey Mize on the bench when he was on the Injured List. I've seen other players around teammates when they were not eligible to play. As far as Soto and the Mets - I feel like that is a team just completely broken on every single level and no amount of money can fix that. I don't know that the ghost of Billy Martin could get them right for half a season. He didn't have SOMETHING he could have offered to his mates? Who was the pitcher who refused to travel or even stay with teammates, ,was that Kevin Brown? I get it, some guys are assholes, but it seems like if you really want to win, you'd want to be around your teammates through thick and thin, But Soto got his money, so he's good. No need to bother. Says so much about the Mets, doesn't it? I don't know what I'd be like if someone paid me ridiculous money to do my job, but I would hope that I'd try to lift everyone up. I wanted Bo Bichette for the Tigers.........but not for $42 million a year. That's going gangbusters.

Maybe when not playing for national pride he's just not all that good.

my driveway is dry/ I would do a video report but the last time I did I fell on my face.

When was the last time the Tigers made a really big trade? I mean bigger than Gregory Soto trade?

How about this instead of those awful Blue road jerseys
