Larkin saves them. again.

1-6 from the field and a -10. yup, that's the ausar i know. lol.

that's not going to go over well....unless he cleared it with lebron first.

trouba - as we know - has a no trade clause.

Kane...

what would you give up for david jiricek? big right handed defenseman who has not lived up to his draft status. lombardi? mbn? a top 15 protected pick?

osu opens a 20.5 favorite. i wonder if that's a record? (i took the buckeyes)

that jumper is smooth.

yzerman kept blashill around way too long and now history is repeating itself. people talk about gallant, but gallant has a rep for just relying on vets and stunting rookies. he's a mini-torts. we dont want that. there's the fedorov or larianov pipe dream, but i dont want to hire a guy just because he was a great red wing once. that's got us this front office who seems to have a hard time judging talent. i dont know enough about hockey to know if the coach will matter. and i know this will upset some people but the best guy out there is probably joel quenville.

so much for the dream of hiring Montgomery. hired by st louis.

can we just fast forward to when ohio state plays oregon for the third time this year in the national championship game?

indiana didnt "crap the bed," indiana is nowhere near a top 10 team much less a top 5 team. indiana had the cupcakiest of cupcake schedules this year and when they finally played a good team they got destroyed. its been a great season for them. they dont belong in the playoff over any 3 loss SEC team and if they make it and play and sec team they will get destroyed.

hope you refrained from taking those points..

what would make you actually enjoy michigan football? they won a national championship and you were still a glum c*** about it. what would make you actually happy? a collection of rhodes scholars playing for the love of the game? lol.

in the history of qb recruits who were #1 overall and #1 qb, there has never been a qb who missed. most were AT LEAST very good. the worst (jimmy clausen) were merely really good. the best (vince young) were world beaters. this is a game changing recruit for michigan. jadyn davis was a 4* recruit whose stock had dropped considerably when he didnt grow between sophomore and senior year. underwood is on a different level. davis is welcome to stay but probably wont, and that's ok in today's cfb. he will be well compensated to play for an ACC school next year and will be just fine. now michigan needs receivers and some oline portal transfers. oh, and a guy who can call plays.

michigan just recruited vince young 2.0. if they can keep him they will be very good in 2 years. recruits will follow. portal recruits will follow.

harris gets the loose ball on the rebound and.... loses it. because he sucks in the clutch.

what a play by larkin.

does anyone know why red wings games are suddenly blacked out in chicago?

who knew?????

prashanth has a nice writeup in his substack on the wings' "contention window" starting two years from now. so dont panic about this year, the wings are planning to be good in a couple years when seider/raymond hit 25. and then compete for the next 5 years after that. so all these moves are really just holding down the fort til then. its not all rosey - he has a lot of criticism for them and wonders where the defense will come from given that he doesnt think much of buium, wallinder, etc - but it presents a different look on this year: transition year.

you just got the consensus #1 recruit in the country who plays the most important position in the country and your response is snarky "hopium"? man, you are one jaded sob. lol

i told him "go tigers" and that we missed him in chicago. he said "thank you." were in "first class." "first class" on a flight to syracuse is not exactly the posh surroindings one might imagine... given his travel schedule he's probably triple platinum plus. #milesenvy

Flying to syracuse this morning and Jason Benetti is on my flight! he's very polite.

putting all the anger about this season aside and looking at the big picture, this season was what i (sort of) thought it might be coming into the year: a throw away year. next year the cap goes up, their prospects from early yzerman drafts SHOULD be up (huge caveat there), they get rid of lalonde and get a developmental coach. get a high pick (lol, they'll pick 6th) this year and next year they should start to see progress. all that said, watch them do nothing and not spend on any top free agents because no one can make more than the "captain".
