Motor City Sonics

JVR is fun to watch. So much better than Tarasenko I didn't see the OT goal until just now. That's kind of a bad goal to give up there. Hell of a shot, but yeah.....Mo may have screened just a tad. Mo gets about 10 mulligans this season.

That's a good outcome, actually. Getting a point on the road is always good Against an equal team On the second half of a back-to-back. I'll take it. I was watching the game and checked the weather in Minny and the air temp was -17. Wind chill was -32. Hearty bunch there. I wouldn't have gone out in that.

Love those Boston Rotaries, they've got one between Logan Airport and Lynn and it's freaking nuts. There are no rules. Whomever leaves with the least damage, wins

I think most of us believe the Tigers still need one more starting pitcher - especially because we are all pretty certain they are going to limit Troy Melton's innings in 2026. The strongest candidates - who would you want out of these Framber Valdez Zac Gallen Lucas Giolito Chris Bassitt Max Scherzer Justin Verlander Jose Quintana Nick Martniez Zach Littell Walker Beuhler Of all these guys, the one I'd want is the one I wanted last year - and he had a really good year and that's Jose Quintana. Seems like they could use another lefty starter. My top rankings would be 1. Jose Quintana (seems like they could get him for a year or two) 2. Lucas Giolito (year or two, great bounce back last year) 3. Framber Valdez (does he want too much length?) 4. Nick Martinez (I would have liked him last year, he's a solid 4 or 5) 5. Chris Bassitt (fine for a year, as long as he is healthy) The rest, I don't care for. Seems like Littell and Buehler are warm bodies. I don't need any sort of emotional goodbye tour for Max or JV. Not a big fan of Zac Gallen, but he has been fairly healthy in recent years, he could eat some innings. They've got to come away with something better than Alex ****ing Cobb this year, right? Kind of pisses me off that on his Baseball Reference page he's in a Tigers hat. Not his fault, but that was a dumb signing. Like trading for Paul Sewald and Charlie Morton (hey look - we did something !!!)

EAR UPDATE: Noticed sensation (sound like a muffled or broken speaker) yesterday coming from the left headphone for the first time since my ear shut off. Did a hearing test today and while the results would not be called "good" as a whole, they is significant improvement in noticing "sensation" even if it isn't definable sound, and that is a major step forward. Been taking the steroid drops once a day for 7 days now, so it appears that this IS a virus of some kind and that either the drops or working or the virus is running it's course. No guarantee I get the hearing in that ear back 100%, but I'm certainly feeling better about it today than a week ago. I have to go all the way out to Macomb from Dearborn for these visits. The reason is that because this happened during the holiday break it was very hard to get an appointment anywhere close to home. I go to a Corewell Health center 48 miles from home, while I have one 4 blocks from where I live, but I need to stick with the team I started with. But, holy ****, M-59 is the worst ****ing road to drive on. There is ZERO traffic flow. It's a bunch of cars just doing whatever. There is no fast lane/slow lane, it's just pure chaos and half of these people aren't even looking at the road and cutting across several lanes of traffic to make the turn - and I'm not sure 20% of our drivers understand what the Green Light means. You don't need to hit your breaks when coasting through a green light. I hate that ****ing road.

When he started on that play he looked like Jim Marshall from that wrong-way touchdown, WHY ARE YOU GOING ON A BREAKAWAY IN THE WRONG DIRECITON, IDIOT................AND THANK YOU. Mo saw it and used it.

Guys, have a seat, we need to talk. You don't know what you're talking about.

What the hell was Cowan doing, man?

That was a ridiculous call.

That was a bad 2nd Period for the Wings. They are very lucky. Gibby stepped up.

It works because he's got talent around him. Obviously he's not the guy that makes other people better............I think the White Sox have made some smart moves too the last couple of years.

I mean, what is it? He didn't talk to the Press? Is that all this is? I never heard he was rude about it. Some guys just don't have anything to share. Jim Rice is in. He never became a manager because of the whole Press thing, but he's in. I just don't get it. It will always be a crime that Lou & Alan are not together.

Not on Don Kelly's watch. The Pirates will shock the world in 2026 !

Andruw Jones is in the Hall and Lou Whitaker is not. Come on, man

You can frame-by-frame this bitch and never find any evidence or anything close to it that goaltending was happening, that ball was still rising and Reggie had no rings, so shut up Reggie.

To me, the greatest play in my Pistons memory is Tayshaun's block. That was breathtaking and it saved the game. For me it was a jump out of the recliner and scream thing. Not as big, but more exciting than Vinny's 00.7 shot - and that won a title.

Nice to see some fresh blood at the top. Well done. Here's a strange dilemma though. Now Indiana becomes a destination school for football. So the 4 and 5 stars may consider it. But Cignetti uses his ability to find the really hungry 2 and 3 stars out to prove everyone wrong and turn it into their very identity. So does he start considering the guys who don't need to prove as much? I could see that at QB, because you need the absolute best there. Or does he stick with what brought him here? Or does he leave? You know the NFL is calling today, but he'd be foolish to do that.

This incredibly impressive 2-year turnaround cotinued. We keep waiting for the floor to dropout, don't we? Like it's not real. But the Knicks were chasing them and played them and the Pistons dismantled them. Now the Celtics are chasing them and they went toe-to-toe and beat them too. Please do something to make this team a little better at the deadline. They've been great. JB Bickerstaff is a great coach, who has not yet worn thin (it will happen eventually, it always does). There are a number of players out there that could help this team get even better. Please don't be like all our other teams and basically sit out the trade deadline. Please no Charlie Morton-types. Go get someone good. F The Draft Picks. You've got a young team already and a stacked bench, you can afford to sacrifice a little future capital - because you could win the whole thing right now. The whole thing. OKC and San Antonio be warned, The Pistons will be no cakewalk. You'll need to toughen up.

Is this Pretzel guy, or whatever, really good with O-Lines or something? Hiring anyone from Arizona's staff doesn't move the needle for me much. But maybe I need to stick with my feelings about Kyler Murray. That, while being dazzling and flashy, at times, he's not that good and not a winner and maybe the failure of Arizona is more on him than it is on Kingsbury, Gannon or Mr. Pretzel. (sorry, I'm just gonna call him that).

It's like what Mike tells Walter in Breaking Bad. Just cause you shot Jesse James, it doesn't make YOU Jesse James.

Wait, they already hired Petzing. Yawn.

McDaniel is the one I'd like. I think he is a guy that will be a Head Coach again, but maybe after another OC stint. I think Daboll would be a favorite in Buffalo.

We could have dreamed about Stafanski, but with so many openings this year, there was no way he wouldn't get a Head Coaching gig somewhere. He's a good coach, it's just the Browns, man. He gets a fresh start in Atlanta with some real talent. For McDermott it was a Super Bowl or Bust year. I would not be shocked to see the Bills hire Bellichick on a 2 or 3 year deal because they have a realistic window of 2 or 3 years. As long as you have Josh Allen you have a shot - if things break your way.

I am 100% for Seattle now. It hurts to see that the New England Patriots went from a stray Super Bowl in the 80s, to the worst team to a dynasty to the worst team and maybe back to a Super Bowl while we get nothing I can't handle the thought of Stafford winning TWO rings after leaving us. And I just don't like the Broncos. So go Seahawks. They've been a sneaky great team. I guess tucked away in the NW corner gets you ignored, eh?
