Mike McDaniel for OC Mike Tomlin for DC -
Oh my. Aaron killed another coach. TOMLIN GONE

Oh wow. Okay then. Keep your hands to yourself. Always. Idiot Creep Pedo. Will he run for office in 2028?

And it is still an accusation at this point. If he's guilty, he should face the consequences, but I feel like people can be destroyed on finger-pointing now and I hate not believing victims, but I also hate the lynch mob going after anyone before the story is told. Meanwhile.....Prince Andrew and others keep their wealth. Never ever heard anything else about this guy til now, which seems a bit strange. Seems like he'd have done this before his Mid-60s, but maybe that will come out now.

I didn't appreciate this when it was released a couple of years ago, but damn this is a great song and the video is something too. (had a dream that he died).

The Packers get their hearts broken and the Aaron Rodgers gets destroyed in the same weekend? I'll take it !

I don't know that we need to fear Jordan Love. He's missing something.

This is glorious. And to The Requiem by Mozart is a delight.

'bout time. Did it come down to him agreeing to say publicly that leaving was a mistake?
-
I think the haul for Skubal factors in to that. Plus Jobe and Melton (if they pan out). So that's why Ranger Suarez for 6 years isn't that crazy, is it? Depends on what he's asking for and maybe it's ridiculous.

I don't hear Robert Saleh's name being mentioned for Head Coaching gigs. I thought he was doing alright for the Jets until Aaron Rodgers likely backstabbed him. Plus, the Jets are a joke. His stock should not fall based on what the effing Jets think of him. He should be in some conversations tonight after this game vs. the Eagles. -
I think Frank Zappa was absolutely on the spectrum (many creative people are) and he had the outlet and discipline for it to work in his favor. But if you didn't think near his level, he'd eviscerate you and he just didn't tolerate anyone that he thought wasn't up to his lofty standards and he seemed rude about it. He wouldn't fake it for anyone and while there I appreciate the honesty, he could have given it a rest a little bit. Showing kindness is not a weakness.

I've interviewed Moon (by phone) and she was one of the easiest people to interview I've ever dealt with. Very open, very nice, smart and funny. It helps when the person you are interviewing understands why they're doing an interview. Instead of someone who doesn't want to answer questions and won't lead you. I've heard Dweezil is like that too, just a nice person. I interviewed Cyndi Lauper once. It was another phoner. It was a 30 minute interview. I opened with one question and never got another word in. LOL. But she was sweet. When unsure of my subject I learned this great J.P. McCarthy trick when I was an intern in the 80s. J.P. would open the interview introducing the name of the person and why they were there, On the line today with me I am speaking with Biff Mayhem and he's here to talk about the organization that he started after the Back To The Future movies, People For The Ethical Treatment of Biffs. Good morning, your thoughts? worked almost every time. If it didn't, you knew the person was the wrong subject to be interviewed - because J.P. was a master at disarming and calming the subject and if he couldn't, well, almost no one could? I didn't even work for his station, I worked for the FM. I was told not to bother him. Bad advice, he was actually very gracious with advice. Just don't bug him when he's busy. That's fair.

I was not expecting (and hoping they would not sign) Bregman and once I heard what Bichette wants -- good riddance. But this team is missing a few things. We all know that we need a Starting Pitcher and another pitcher who has the ability to start when called upon. Right now I have four (Skubal, MIze, Flahery, Olson) and a whole lot of maybes and what ifs. There are a few guys out there that they can get that won't break the bank. I know folks scoff at Bassitt and Giolito, but both of those guys would absolutely fill a need and why not aim higher with Valdez and Suare? Sure, you'd have to sign those guyys for the long haul, but seeing the future and the very real possibility that 3 of our 4 starters will be gone a year from now, I don't see how signing one of those bigger two guys really hurts this team. We don't know what Melton is yet. We don't know how well or quickly Jobe will recover and I don't see a lot of reinforcements coming from the farm with that position anymore. So, you look towards 2027 (if there is a season) and beyond, you could have Jobe, Olson, Melton, Suarez and then whatever blue chip they get in the Skubal trade. And if they do trade Skubal, you'd better hit on one of the guys you get back. I don't care if he's a rental, if they don't get 3 Top 15s, including a Top 5 prospect in return, then just don't make the deal. Just don't settle. I shudder when I think of what they settled for with J.D. Martinez and Justin Verlander. Should have just kept them and taken the draft compensation. Would have been WAY better off. It was a hatful of hollow. I know we have time to go, but if they don't come out of this with one of Bassitt, Giolito, Suarez or Valdez, I am going to feel like this offseason was a failure. That trade deadline last year, I mean, nice pull with Finnegan, but what in the world was that about with Morton and Sewald. An old man and a guy who couldn't even pitch at the time. My belief is that they are targeting 2028-2032 as being serious WS contenders. That they believe that they are good enough to make the playoffs now but not get all the way to the Series. But lets be honest - we've had two straight seasons of Divisional Round exits going 5 games and just one more reliable bat moves them to the ALCS. So they aren't that far off right now. I understand being conservative because they believe that Greene, Tork, Carp and Dingler will be in their prime with McGonigle, Clark Briceno and Rainer all coming up together and that will make an outstanding lineup if the prospects come close to panning out. That's a rock-solid team right there. But signing one good pitcher now doesn't knock the train off the tracks. I don't expect much out of Montero and GIpson-Long. Those guys feel like perpetual rainy-day starters. They need more. They (and every other team) needs to go into the season, realistically with 8 guys that can be major league starters now. Might not be like that 3 years from now. I think after the upcoming CBA, that most teams will carry 2 legit starters with a pitching chaos model that becomes the norm. The big money teams will have 4 or 5 starters but the "small market" teams will have to come up with a new way. I do expect roster expansion (specifically pitchers) will be part of the next CBA - where teams can carry 28 players and 15 pitchers. It might be the only way smaller market teams get a realistic shot, because they can never afford the top line starters. Wow, that was long-winded, but convalescing at home right now with not much to do. My Sunday radio shows are done and loaded for tonight and there will be some football to watch, and a dog walk if I don't get too dizzy, but yep, plenty of time to ramble on about baseball land the idea that Summer will return...........eventually.

I would imagine that behind the scenes right now, the Packers are contacting a couple of potential coaches. Doesn't mean they are going to fire LaFleur, but if the right coach is within their reach I think they will. This is their ceiling with LaFelur/Love. -
No, but we should if he thinks that re-signing Gleyber Torres and adding a 38 year old relief pitcher along with a bunch of no-name minor league contracts constitutes an off-season.
-
Not on a Wednesday, but it'll be longer than two minutes.
-
Yeah, it sure is. Back when it was new our station in East Lansing, 92.1 The Edge played that and it played in the Taco Bell on Grand River by campus and that store owner banned our station forever.

Thank You Cubs.

But then he'd come back the third time through the lineup and be fine. It's almost like "Hey Jack, go play LF this inning and we'll put you back on the mound after that". With Karate I'll kick your arse
