Motor City Sonics

Holy Crap. All-time Pistons record tonight. They are only 1 1/2 games behind OKC now.

A little. I get a sensation deep in the ear if the sound is loud and bassy enough. I am done with the steroid drops. Hearing test on Thursday to see if it really made a difference. I am trying a chiropractor next. I've done a little research and some people who gave up on having their hearing restored for years got some or most of it back with just a few adjustments. Wouldn't that be a gas. This is costing me a small fortune. Been getting strange tones in my left ear all day, like test tones. My brain is looking for a signal. Hey, if an expert told me to swallow capsules of ground powdered rat turds and I'd be guaranteed to get my hearing back, I'd do it. I'd just have to make sure I always had sour candy on hand to mask the rat turd burps. I bought weed gummies for sleep on Thursday because I had been getting up every hour (nature's call). I might be having that lethargic post-gummy thing too. Like how you feel the day after taking NyQuil. So tonight, no weed/sleep gummies, just melatonin and hopefully a real sleep, but I know I will feel better tomorrow because I will need to get up and go to work and, as I said, I love my job and I am motivated. I've been inside so much the last 3 or 4 weeks that I feel like I am WAY WAY ahead of schedule on my duties. I do a lot. I'm not saying my job is physically demanding in any way, shape or form, but I juggle a lot of day-to-day things. I do two daily on-air shifts for two radio stations, I program the music for one, I write, produce and schedule the promos, music news, out and about segments, I handle all ticket requests. Busy guy. I freaking love it.

I feel like our offseason is a lot like the Orioles offseason last year. They sat on their hands for the most part thinking that they would just progress without major intervention - and we saw what happened to them - and I think that could happen here. I feel like Kansas City might leap us significantly this year. Plus it's 13 degrees outside and feeling stir crazy and negative, so there's that. At least we don't have Toronto, Boston and the Yankees in our division.

No, I'm glad it went down the way it did. We saw what happened to most of the people from that era. It's a good thing she walked away. Smart lady. If she got sucked into that vortex, the rest of her career probably doesn't happen in a good way.

Why do I feel lousy every weekend? Because I don't HAVE to go to work? I love my job. I really really do. I look forward to doing it. I look forward to going into work. Now, if there is a snowstorm, I have the work at home option, sure, but I like going to work. Do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life. The only real gripe I have about it is the distance. It's about 25 miles each way. Might not be much for you, but I wish I lived closer (but the house I am in is paid for, and even if I sold it, I'm not coming close to buying a house in Washtenaw County). But this is the third straight weekend that I have felt sick and lethargic. I know it might have to do with it being 11 degrees outside and I haven't been able to do a lot. I could try the Dearborn gym, but still having mild vertigo from the ear thing. I think it's because I don't have to get any work done and my body is punishing me for it. I am way, way ahead on things too. I bet if it was 40 and Sunny I'd be alright. Just imagine how good that day is gonna feel now. Accuweather doesn't have us getting above freezing until February 26th. Maybe I should take a weed gummy and watch some Brady Bunch reruns. It never rained once on that show. Not once. It rained on The Partridge Family. They got stuck on the road because of rain washing out a bridge or something - so they lived in a motel for several days and drove each other crazy. Might have been the first time Danny Bonaduce brought a prostitute to a motel. Wouldn't be the last. Here we go https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0798182/

I think Catherine O'Hara would be blown away at just how many people are mourning her today.

3 bad games in a row. That means no trade deadline moves this year, right?

March came early this year

The Vikings GM. You draft JJ McCarthy in the Top 10 picks. That means he's your guy for the next decade, but he's hurt, so you sign a Band Aid. The Band Aid has an amazing season. But then in the game that matters most - the last of the season, your division opponent rips the Band Aid off and shows his flaws. So you turn back to the guy that you made your next Decade starter by picking him at #10 and let the Band Aid go away. The Next Decade guy plays like a rookie and it's discouraging while the Band Aid has a great season and is going to the Super Bowl. That's a tough spot there, man. For Vikings fans, - keep in mind - JJ McCarthy looked better than Sam Darnold did in his rookie year. That's why, 8 times out of 10, rookies probably shouldn't be counted on to do much. Gotta be patient. I know CJ Stroud and Jayden Daniels made you believe that rookies can be amazing all the time, but they are unicorns and well, they weren't as good in their follow up seasons - once teams figured out some weaknesses. It would be beyond foolish to give up on JJ now, although I can see some sort of scenario where the Vikings trade McCarthy and picks to Arizona for Kyler Murray. Wait, they can't possibly do that because of the Salary Cap? yeah, Salary Cap, that's cute.

Yeah, all the tickets that Tim Cook and Jeff Bezos bought. And you talking about the actor from John Hughes movies? That Jon Cryer? He's a Trumper?

HE'S A ****ING PEDOPHILE How many people they gonna kill in Minnesota this weekend to keep attention away from this? What other awful **** are they going to do to keep attention off this. Next time I have to hear some moral bullspit from a right-wing Christian, this stuff is going right back into their face. You worship a pedophile and you know it, it's no secret, there is no "I had no idea". Yes you did, but your bigotry is stronger than your care for children. Long as it ain't YOUR daughter, I guess.

Catherine O'Hara. ****............I loved her, she was awesome.

Davis Webb wised up and told the Raiders. Yeah, I'm flattered, but no thanks. Smart move. They're gonna bring back Gruden, LOL

Hey, getting a point out of that, was alright. But I never want to try to even watch a game on Hulu again. That sucked.

So Ovechkin needs 81 goals to reach 1,000. Is he gonna be able to get it?

I just started watching. The Hulu experience sucks. I don't need the name tags, I need you to STOP FREEZING THE SCREEN !

Hulu Freeze absolutely sucks. I mean SUUUUUUCCCCKKKS

Getting a point out of tonight's game is already a win. BUT LETS GET TWO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

30 goals for the Brink Cat.
