i think youre dead wrong and there is no evidence for that.
-
sure, because that was the two iconic franchises in league history who also happened to be competing for championships. if you think fans in other cities view the pistons in the same regard, you need to get out more.
-
that sounds like the kind of homer comment i have come to expect from kelser.
-
the pistons should attempt yo play hard before the 4th quarter. also, cant win em all. especially when you give crunch time minutes to CARIS LAVERT.
-
that lauri markkanen kid looks pretty good... need some 4th quarter cade tonight.

any team that trades for davis is insane.

its a good short term hire. probably the best short term hire they could get given the circumstances. he runs a similar style program that should fit the talent on the team. he doesnt have anything in his closet that we know of. the drawbacks are that he's not from here and will have to establish recruiting relationships with midwest schools. he's never coached in the big 10. he doesnt seem to have adapted to the new reality of NIL and money. that is the only hurdle i see. well, and that he's 66 and doesnt havr much time left. i would have preferred deboer or dillingham, but this is still a really good hire from an x's and o's and culture fit. besides, dude looks like he's been on the pete carroll workout plan and can probably coach until he's 80! lol.

typically after scandals like these you want to bring in the most trusted, non-scandal person. someone who can promise stability and a return to the morals that the university likes to think it stands for. whittingham would accomplish that for michigan.

will he sour on michigan once the university caves and agrees to the PE deal?

Week Seventeen: Detroit Lions (8-7) @ Minnesota Vikings (7-8)
buddha replied to MichiganCardinal's topic in Detroit Lions
fantastic? he caught 15 passes all year. most people's objections to him were giving up draft capital to move up to take a guy nobody had on their radars. secondly, to do so at a position where you already have three star players (counting laporta as a reveiver), and when you had so many other pressing needs. but to your earlier point, it is too early to call the class a disappointment. i was probably too hyperbolic in that. but for this season - other than ratledge - it didnt provide much help. -

dare i say it? sol? -
after getting their asses kicked multiple times by the spurs, does okc spend some of its massive draft capital to get a "star" player? even if its just for one season?

and the bears have been the luckiest team in the nfl. every year there is a team with a horeshoe up its ass and this year its chicago. that team could easily be 8-8 and has played a very easy schedule. we'll see about next season. -

2024 and 2025 lions drafts look pretty bleak right now. nobody is perfect, but maybe the consensus draft folks were right to wonder why the need to trade up for martin, manu, and teslaa? this is the first time theyve tasted failure. lets see how they respond. the fancy stats say theyre still an excellent offensive team, im not sure i buy it but that's what they say. on defense? injuries killed them last year, but even when theyre healthy they cant seem to get to the qb. and this year they couldnt stop the run even with mcneill back and their first round pick being a supposed run stuffer. -
you guys are never going to believe this, but AD got hurt again today and had to leave the game. i know, i know. its hard to believe...

the idea that they can survive with just draft picks and undrafted free agents isnt going to cut it. they simply havent brought in enough cheap talent in the last two drafts. holmes' first three drafts built a great foundation for a 15 win team undone by injury, but the last two have been subpar and its hurting them. again, it happens, but the vibe around the lions shifted from plucky underdog to spoiled, entitled, and cocky. do i need another press conference where brad calls out reporters about where he was right? do we always need to promote from within? to take our udfa's and assume they can always be the "next man up"? time for some soul searching in allen park. -

they lost because their players arent good enough or arent playing well enough. it happens. the rams were **** two years ago and are now one of the best in the league. same could happen to the lions next year. but what built their team - offensive line dominance - is over. they need some major talent additions. and no, brad, that doesnt mean we trade up for a kid from zimbabwe in round 3 hoping he can play 4 years from now. -
all that stat says to me is that robinson is the one piston on the floor who can shoot.
-
i'll root for okc over the spurs. okc built themselves through trades and smart drafting. setting themselves uo as a dynasty through shrewd moves. san antonio was gifted multiple top picks. **** them.
-
monken probably isnt that bad of an option.
-
Did his wife say it was ok for him to say that? hope so for his sake.

amen, brother. its infuriating to watch harden simply run right into somebody, fall down, and get the call every time. brunson too.
