  1. It was absolutely moronic to start that game when they did.
  2. Future Radar. Perhaps you could place a bet on Polymarket.com. We take your money - and you can't do anything about it - because even when you bet correctly, we'll find some sort of micrscopic loophole that gets us out of paying you anything. Oh, and it's not betting, it's futures predicting with money !
  3. There is a line of storms about 2.5 hours away and we'll be lucky to survive it. We're talking EF7 tornadoes, and the scale only goes up to EF5. Some of us may not be here by Midnight. I just want to express my gratitude to you all for allowing me to vent, speculate, joke and celebrate sports with you over the last 20+ years.
  4. Ah, there's nothing like a doubleheader on a Thursday...........
  5. Comerica Park is going to get walloped in about 7 or 8 minutes.
  6. Looking at the radar for my neighborhood and this storm just exploded like a kernel of popcorn
  7. Loud rain now. Very loud, like there might be some hail with this
  8. absolutely pouring in Dearborn right now. And it's hread right for downtown Detroit.
  9. not a fan of this song, but my dad liked it.
  10. But it's all Biden's fault............
  11. Someone left the cake out in the rain.
  12. Now the sun is kind of shining in Dearborn and it's Florida-muggy.
  13. It would likely cost me a license because of my eyesight, but the driving standards need to be strengthened - a lot. There are too many people that really don't have any idea what they are doing behind the wheel. Even folks who are not on their phones. People can't merge anymore. If someone is unfamiliar with where they are - they stop in the middle of the road. And slow drivers. I don't get it, but the slow driver thing is getting worse and worse. I take Van Born all the way to Merriman now (because of the 94 construction) and the speed limil is 45 and then 50, but people routinely drive 30. I don't get it. No awareness at all. Then you add the phone addicts and it's worse. Can't put it down for 10 minutes to drive. They'll die if they don't text every waking minute.
  14. you wimp. just kidding. What I remember about the hot, dry Summer of '88 was grass fires along the freeways from discarded cigarettes. Another reason smoking sucks.
  15. It's pouring here in Dearborn right now and it looks like it's headed straight for downtown........ but as Bill said in Twister (the movie that if you copied what the storm chasers did, you'd likely die). IT'S ALREADY HERE..........EVERYONE GET DOWN !
  16. One of my favorite things ever is when Matty refused to finish the connection from his bridge to I-75 over a tantrum about the new bridge. He was court-ordered to finish it and ignored it and they threw his old ass in jail. He walked into court laughing and when the judge lowered the boom he looked like he was going to cry. "But he's too old for jail" said his lawyer. Judge said, he looks healthy to me. Then the court ordered the government to hire a contractor to finish it (at a much higher cost) and made Matty pay for it. Before it was finished Semis had to cut through neighborhoods to get to the bridge. There would be Semis lined up on those residential streets, making noise and stinking up the whole area, but hey, it's just Mexican people, so screw them, right?
  17. Guess Donny couldn't stop it. Threated to block it the day after the Moroun family gave him a million bucks. He probaby wanted his name on it as a condition. Anyway, the Gord opens on Monday. And honestly, I don't care if it costs five times more to cross The Gord than the Ambassador, I am never going on the Mouroun's ****ing bridge again. June 15th. The Gordie Howe Bridge opens to the public June 16th:
  18. Driveyway is soaked right now. 9.5 miles as the crow flies from Comerica Park.
  19. By the way, if your car breaksdown on Rotunda or the Southfield Service Drive by the Lions practice facility, the Lions security folks will be paying you a visit within 5 minutes and will stay with you until your car is fixed or towed. You won't be able to take a step towards that building. I dare you to try and fly a drone over that practice field.
  20. This whole Sorsby thing is ridiculous and you know that others banned in other sports are going to cite this decision. People like Emmanual "No" Clase. This whole gambling thing is so out of hand. It's ruined sports and now it's getting into everything. My station runs ads CONSTANTLY for Bet265 and Polymarket, which isn't "Gambling", it's just the "futures market". People who just play around with these things a little bit get sucked in and it ruins their lives. Hey, you can bet on the Oscars, right? Well, somebody has to print those envelopes with the winners' names, so somebody already knows. You don't think someone at the accounting firm that counts the Oscar votes or the printing company that prints the envelopes won't possibly call a third cousin somewhere and give them the info. NO WAY! I have always wondered why we couldn't bet on sports and we could play the stock market and I thought it was cool that they finally allowed it - and I actually made decent money on hockey bets, $10 at a time until they stopped with the 5.5 over/unders. Once they upped it to 6.5, I opted out and only rarely bet small amounts now, but maybe 3 or 4 times a year. But it's just everywhere now and it's quite an experience to watch someone at a Buffalo Wild Wings have a total meltdown because he just lost 2K on a Bills-Saints game because Buffalo didn't run up the score and cover the spread. Someone who probably doesn't have a ton of money to start. "Sorry, Hun, We're being Foreclosed. WHAT? FORECLOSED? Yeah, the Bills decided to run out the clock. Someone with nothing left to lose is going to target a coach or athlete. Someone already fired a shot at Andy Reid in his office. Gee, I wonder why.
  21. Wow, I meant to say Christopher's Mutlisanti's Intervention, not Funeral.
  22. Best thing is that the laugh was real........
