Gonna need some luck too like SF got against us last year with our miscues.

I'm legit stunned by Goff's play. The defense getting torn apart was something I envisioned but I did not expect Goff to completely **** the bed like this.

Defense has been horrible no doubt but I have to give Jayden Daniels his due, just an unreal talent.

Feels like Iffy has missed a lot of tackles and/or been out of place alot since he has been back. Not the same guy that we saw at the end of last season.

Yep, my one complaint about JOhnson is that he does that too often for my liking. It ends up working out alot of the time but still feel like it is a needless risk when you have a running game like the Lions have.

Zeitler's loss was already felt on that first drive....and now Robertson is down. Unbelievable!

Totally random but I just saw a wild stat on my Facebook feed, the most seasons in MLB history by somebody with atleast 1 stolen base without being caught is 10.....by Greg Maddux.

We all saw this coming, shouldn't have dragged teams like the Blue Jays along when you know he had little intention of signing with them. The Dodgers are the best team in baseball, play on the west coast and have Ohtani and Yamamoto on the team, he wasn't going to go anywhere else.

5/150 would be amount my limit on Bregman, I'd go a higher AAV for less years but don't want to guarantee anything more than 150 or 5 years. If he's fine doing something like 2/70 with a 1 yr opt out I'd be cool with something like that as well.

I always wanted to see somebody like Wemby or Giannis on a fastbreak take off on one leg from the 3 point line and try like a 3pt layup. With their length if they really extended surely they could release it inside 7 or 8 ft.

This is why I say every NBA player of stature has a no trade clause in their contract whether it's official or not. Cause any team that is willing to trade for an All Star caliber player is going to make sure the guy won't sit out and demand a trade when he gets here. Essentially meaning the player can pick and choose where he wants to play whether it's written into the contract or not.

Nope, well we had bins that were marked "blue light special" but didn't have the old school light pole with siren that would randomly go off.

I worked at my Step Dad's auto shop when I was like 12-15 but my first "real" job was as a cashier at Kmart when I was 16 back in 1998. I remember they hired a few of us at the same time, all 3 of us were 1st time employees in the real world but since I wrote the experience I had at my Step Dad's shop the HR dude that hired us said he'd give me 6 bucks an hour unlike the 5.50 they were giving other new employees. THe only time in my life an employer offered me more money than I was expecting to receive. lol

Yeah there's nothing wrong with Inheriting a bad roster so long as you have a GM/owner that recognizes the situation and allows you the time you need to build your team. The problem is people like Sheila are the exception, too often owners want immediate change and don't give you nearly enough time to turn things around. In that regard it does suck to come into a depleted roster.

BTW the number 1 overall prospect is Roman Anthony from the Red Sox, they got him in the 22 draft with the comp pick they got for us signing Eduardo Rodriguez.

Damn you Edman, beat me to it! lol

Baseball Prospectus put out their top 101 today and 7 Tigers made the list. Jobe was 4th overall followed by McGonigle at 6!, Clark at 31, Rainier at 56, Liranzo 58, Briceno 64 and Jung at 97.

Unless it changed I think you have to not only have 10 years of service but also have been with your current team for 5+ years to get guaranteed trade protection.

Here's BA's rankings for international prospects. They have Rodriguez 4th. https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/2025-mlb-international-prospects-bonus-board/

Yeah I'm sure there are other benefits to drawing fouls but just speaking from a vague offensive standout it always bothered me when somebody would talk about how efficient a scorer is when they just look at their total points and FGA. If you didn't include FTs then yeah that's a great way to see how efficient they are but factoring in free throws it doesn't tell the whole story. For arguments sake lets say none of the free throws are and 1s or 3 pointers, if a guy shoots 20 free throws then that still means he was responsible for 10 possessions.

Vikings finished 0-4 against the Lions and Rams and 14-0 against everybody else. Crazy!

This is kind of an off topic argument but since Cade doesn't shoot many free throws I figured it has some relevancy. I know many people like to look at how many points you score by FGA to measure a player's efficiency but one thing that always bothered me about that is that while free throws don't count as field goal attempts they still count towards possessions. So whether you attempt a FG or shoot 2 free throws either way you are contributing to your team's possession. To simplify it if a guy doesn't get fouled once but shoots 10 FG and makes 5 for 10 points he generated a point per possession that he shot. OTOH if a guy shoots 10 times and gets fouled every time and makes 8 of 10 free throws he will have generated 8 points on the 10 possessions he shot. But going by the metrics they will see he scored 8 points without a FGA so he will be deemed more efficient even though he actually netted his team less points per possession that ended with him.

Feels like this is the 5th or 6th time we've played the Knicks already.

I mean you never know who is going to come along or how different the game may change but there's nobody playing now that will come close to that. They'd have to not only be premium scorers but play for teams that consistently were in the conference finals or NBA finals for 15+ years. The likelihood of that is almost zero. Now if the NBA were to extend the playoffs or individual scoring would go up drastically then the chances increases but I don't see that happening in this generation. Maybe a decade or 2 down the road but not soon enough to alter any current players chances.
