Thank You , Internet

0-0, He hit the first pitch.

B-Ref made it so easy. I figured it out in less than 3 minutes (mainly because Deano only played one season as Tiger at Tiger Stadium). But not only looking up the box score but then the play by play too. It's amazing. By the way, as recently as 2019 I saw someone walking around with a Tiger T-shirt that said "Palmer 16" on it. He never wore that since they retired Newhouser's 16 after they signed Palmer but before the season started, so it's kind of a rare thing. Like finding a Rick Mahorn Timberwolves t-shirt. I remember seeing it 2 days after the Pistons lost him in the expansion draft, it was t-shirt with a caricature of Mahorn with "Big Bad Wolf" on it. I was too bitter to buy it, but he never played for them. It could be sort of valuable today, especially if you could get him to sign it.

Tjank You.

I found this 8 x 11 photo I took with my first digital camera (It was huge and used discs). I wondered when it was. Thanks to Baseball Reference I was able to figure it out - very quickly. The only season Dean Palmer played for the Tigers while they were at Tiger Stadium was 1999. I went and looked at all the Box Scores from night games when the Indians were in town and only one had the corresponding inning-by-inning run count indicated on the LF scoreboard. This was September 23, 1999. Dean Palmer batting against Charles Nagy in the 3rd inning. Tony Clark was on first base. Dean lined out to RF. The Tigers won that game 7-5. They had only 4 more games at The Corner and I went to all of them. Man, I love Baseball Reference.

Deserve's got nothing to do with it

Great white hope? Down to one black head coach in the league and all these black coordinators getting Rooney Rule interviews and Kellen Moore is still getting hype. I don't think any coaches should be interviewed until after the Super Bowl is over. It should be a rule. I think it has prevented some really good coordinators from getting a shot - because they are too busy with their own teams in the playoffs.............they shouldn't be penalized for that. There is no recruitment or national signing day early Feb. Let it all play out. You could make the argument that the one successful Belichick tree guy was Brian Flores (Bill O'Brien was alright until he became a GM). Flores was abrasive. So what, he did make Miami better - and fairly quickly. I hope he gets another shot somewhere like Minnesota, Chicago or Denver or another team that isn't at rock bottom.

Basking in the afterglow of Cowboy's fans delicious tears. I love the fact that they are losing their minds over getting screwed by the refs. Yes, it was on Dak because he should know the official has to place the ball, but the official did move it back and forth for an extra second, the extra second that cost them. I love it. I love it so much. I DRINK YOUR TEARS, I DRINK YOUR TEARS LIKE WINE !

I bought a pair of McCartney tickets in 2011 and I think the total was $78, but it was summer and the Comerica Park Box Office was open and it's not far from where I work so I bough them in person. About 5 years ago, bought a pair of Iggy Pop tickets............$88 total. My girlfriend's sister bought tickets online in the same row for her and her husband. Fees were $22 - PER TICKET. So for the same row they paid $132. Insane.

By the way, if you listen to 97.1, the afternoon phone guy, Kenny Kot - He is pretty reliable on hockey over/unders..........I'm basically to just following his lead and doing really well with that.

I did put a small wager on the Steelers - just in case, but the parlay pays quite a bit more and I think at 35-7 with Old Dirty Bastard at QB for Pittsburgh, I think we get the win. Not a big bet, but I keep betting 10 here or 20 there and I'm now betting with their money.

All I need is s Chiefs victory for a nice little payday (I should probably throw a little something on the Steelers to hedge).

Wow, the official got in the way..............LOL I enjoy a referee screwing the Cowboys in the playoffs. You reap what you sow.

Well even if the Cowboys win they will only win by one. So I feel safe.

This first down review in the 49ers-Cowboys game has taken 7 minutes. Ridiculous.

23-17 now. My parlay this weekend Cincinnati MONEY LINE Buffalo MONEY LINE Tampa Bay -8.5 San Francisco +3 Kansas City MONEY LINE Don't blow it SF !

Was going to get a couple of Elton John tickets at Comerica Park. The advertised price was $55 each. I expect fees to be added. The fees were $48. I can afford that, no problem, but sorry, I refuse to pay that kind of fee. I just can't do it. Wouldn't even be a physical ticket. $43 Convenience Fee. What the fuck does that even mean? Convenient for whom? It's just wrong. Those kind of fees should be included in the advertised price. It should be a law. By the way, I do get free tickets to a lot of shows becsuse of radio, so maybe this has been going on for a long time. When I bought Wilco tickets for Chicago last year it was $16 in fees. Not happy with that, but I can deal with that. But $48? Not a chance.

Yes, they were beating that drum hard last night. Like showing Kurt Warner's wife during the Super Bowl and Blake Griffin's parents after every basket in the tourney.

Rather enjoyable. I hope Patricia gets fired again.

I am sure that the Bills were reminded of the Atlanta Super Bowl because they have not let up against New England. 40-10

Love watching the Bills stomp the Pats. Eat it, Patricia. Just don't let up.

At least the other Buffalo team is having a good night I got a question, Was Ned's family at the game. I wasn't sure watching the broadcast.

Cincinnati is going to try like hell to blow this one.

Video of Lauren Boebert attempting to get gas?

I disagree with that. I don't think either side cares about normal.
