btw, the last time the lions got ****ed by the refs there was discourse about "oh, rod and sheila are working behind the scenes." garbage. the lions seemingly always get ****ed in these scenarios. make some real noise, sheila. for a change

baloney. i made a game thread post when the lions screwed up royally. emotions run hot in game posts. then you decided to be a snarky **** about it. so dont get mad when someone decides to call you out on your snarky dickness.

if the internet existed in the mid 80s, there would be breathless tweets about how great kelly tripuka was because he scored 35 on the nuggets... that's how i feel now with all these tweets about the offensive exploits of jaylen johnson, or josh giddey, or mitchell or harden, etc etc etc... its because no one plays defense and the league changed the rules to make defense impossible. were in steroid era baseball home run rules and everyone is getting overly excited about brady anderson or luis gonzalez hitting 50 home runs.

i've been off the lions since the vikings game. that's when it was apparent this just wasnt their year. hopefully they can shore up some stuff and come back next year. these things happen. they still have the core of a good team. but as time goes on, it seems like they might have missed their window. i hope not. makes me sad. and i avoid game threads as much as possible. too much emotion.

sure. but they dont belong in the playoff.

😉

how about now?

To those of you who just became Lions fans, this is what us old folks have endured for the last 50-60 years.

mcclellan said kasper was a scratch along with jbd because they wanted to make sure everyone got to play in front of their moms (it was moms weekend). even if that's not totally true, i think its a good reason to scratch somebody.

murakawi signs with the white sox. seems like the japanese rob deer. was there any interest for him from detroit?

oh 84. never change.

TAKE THE ****ING POINTS!

what a weird year in the nhl. i think we'll start to see a little separation in thw standings but probably not much. hopefully the post olympic larkin/raymond decline doesnt happen this year. my three pre-season bets are sitting on a knife's edge...wings and ducks to make the playoffs and rangers to miss the playoffs.

Seider for Norris

Kasper benched. he went from first line hero to being benched. i wouldnt be too upset if they moved finnie down to the third line and put kasper up top. more worried about him moving forward as a viable second line center. he doesnt seem to play as well with kane/debrincat as copp does. his future might be on the wing.

lamelo scored 8 points in the first minute or so and then did almost nothing the rest of the game except complain. great talent, but a loser player. maybe its because he's in a bad organization, but he seems more in it for lamelo than winning.

Duren is still developing. we forget how raw he was when he got here. one of the problems with drafting a guy so raw is that theyre not fully developed when you have to make a decision on paying them long term.

Holmstrom was a bigger dino ciccarelli. played very physical. elmer is still too passive for a dude his size. great hands, but sloooooow and weak. needs to get stronger and meaner.

michigan looks to be as competent and well run as ever.

luka looks like he's putting on weight again. and the lakers have nothing after luka-lebron.
