I find it incongruous that Bombers rants about Democratic purity tests, then rants about progressives (actually calling out a small fraction of same) not being worthy of respect or inclusion. Every segment of the political arena has some fringe actors that like to act out. The vast majority of progressives I know are not in that small fringe. They are practical and pragmatic, knowing that change can be incremental and aligning with the nuts is bad for everyone. Progressives are not the problem. It is pretty clear who is, why waste time on slamming “the left”.

Did my part today.

Yeah, that phrase seems to me to usually apply to field sports like football/futball, or to basketball where you fake someone out and they can’t adjust and basically fall down. Are they assigning non-baseball writers to cover the Tigers?

And he doesn’t have to hit 50 to be successful and valuable. 25-30 would be more possible and fine.

I see a range of people who voted for Trump, some more problematic than others. Sure it would be nice if all voters did research and had critical thinking skills. And understood how much the Constitution was going to and now is being trashed. But I do distinguish between the gleeful fascist element and the lazy people thinking the economy would be better under Drumpf. At least the latter might be capable of learning a hard lesson, whereas the former are too messed up to redeem. Better citizenship from all would be the goal, and I am trying to remain a small degree of hope that a really significant part of the population can return to decency and honor in their voting choices. Not welcoming with open arms, not as sympathetic as I could be, but not casting all Trump voters in with MAGA Trumpers.

My use/needs probably are not the norm, but the extender works okay for me. Modem is in main house, needed wifi in the converted, detached garage. I was able to locate the extender so it beams fairly directly and I don’t have the need for max speed. I know it’s not giving me the full speed.

This could be quoted and freshly shared in a number of threads. Kudos to Hong for the concise statement (in response to Archie, the f***ing idiot).

Stole this

Something appears to be wrong with your poutine. 😎 The beer looks fine though.

He just turned 22 a few weeks ago, I think it’s a long shot he would make the team…but it is an intriguing idea. Slightly cheaper than Bregman.

Okay, I was feeling nice thoughts about you guys up North and you had to ruin it.

I was watching the fights and then a hockey broke out.

In the article they mention Lachan had tried low-balling his siblings by offering 60% value for their shares. I hope they all take that with a deep sense of insult and grievance and vow he never gets control. F him and all the other fascist enablers.

I think it also comes from seeing an opportunity to get a player they see as special enough to be able to dominate and make plays. That was what they saw in Gibbs. They could have relied on Montgomery and someone else, but Gibbs can break defenses. I think they hope Arnold will develop into a dominant CB (now that he’s not getting so many flags). They wanted Gonzales, but Terrion is close, imo.

The ads are annoying. I have loaded an ad blocker recently, but it is just a free generic add-on. It seems to help, but not fully. If people have recommendations for a good tool, I would appreciate it. I use older iPads for most surfing/forum access. Dan, one of the morons.

They do the Waveski? Da, Russia inwent Waveski.

By everything do you mean Bregman?

And who is Alvin Garcia?

Lee/Ed, I had the same thought-hope you survive the purges.

Shown justabout to swing at a low and away slider. I kid.

I suspect he much prefers to stay in Houston (I have nothing to base that on) and entertained offers from others when that seemed impossible. Then the Astros traded Tucker and that closed door opened again, if only a small amount. There is so much we don’t know and probably won’t ever get the full picture. I don’t see the Tigers offering anything that would be a death knell. 🙄

With all the praise heaped on Reid as a genius I was surprised at how poorly he coached the game, as you pointed out. I wonder if the success of the past led them to think, okay we got sacked that down, but Mahomes will elude the rush next time and make a big play. Instead he got sacked again. There is speculation that Kelce might retire, would Reid? The poor SB as a final game of a career would be a drag, but tgey do have several rings.

The Chefs are getting burned.

Thanks for the headsup, I’ll have my boys keep an eye out.

Thanks-sadly that last passage has strong application to our current abandonment of reason or fairness.
