Do you want him back if this were to happen?

If Trump is lowering drug prices by 600%, does that mean we will actually get paid for taking prescriptions in the future? If you take a $100 prescription drug and you cut the price in half by 50% it is going to be $50 dollars cost to you. If you cut the price by 100% it is going to be free. If you cut the cost by 600% it is going to be a net payment of $600 to the consumer, no? If that's the case, give me aids, amebic dysentery, the crabs, rubella, syphilis, tardive dyskinesia. Give me it all and I'll be rich in no time.

Kevin Warren really is this dumb too. He actually pens a letter to season ticket holders, puts in a threat that they are moving to the Gary, IN area, and believes his paying customers are really that dumb to believe the NFL would allow a team to relocate to Gary, IN. The place is a hellhole and one of the worst metropolitan areas in the nation. No disrespect to the people there, but it just is. Then, Warren has the balls to say that this threat to move to Gary, IN is not about leverage in the letter itself. It's 100% about leverage. The threat to move to Gary is all about leverage to get your taxpayers to pony up money for a new stadium. What a joke Warren and the Bears are. L-O-****ING-L!!!

LOL BEARS! I am really surprised the NFL would allow a team to relocate to . . . checks notes . . . Gary, IN. If you're going to put a team in Gary too then you might as well give Michigan a second NFL team in Flint. And if Gary Indiana can support an NFL team, then damnit Quebec can support an NHL team. I'm looking at you GARY Bettman.

Is former Utah coach Kyle Wittingham a realistic option in your mind? I like him a lot, but left him off of my list because I assumed at 66 years old he was done with coaching and truly retired when he left Utah.

Who had a public cheating scandal that has been on the rumored Michigan radar? Are you referring to Fleck?

Maybe we'll be adding a swastika under Trump's portrait in the future?

There is no intellectual argument for almost anything MAGA and the Republican Party supports. Not on healthcare most especially.

In all seriousness, I know the Curt Cignetti to Michigan discussion is really a moot point. I'm 99% certain, like most, that he isn't leaving a nearly $12 million/year salary and the chance to retire as King of Indiana. He's got it made, he's making a ton of money, and he has a lot less stress to perform at Indiana than he would at Michigan. He can win 7-8 games or more a year and the university and fans will love him no matter what. Cignetti is still far and away my top choice. I would still call him up with an aggressive offer and even allow him to be a significant part of the search for a new AD, promising to fire Warde if he signs here. With the Cignetti talk out of the way, this is probably my ranking of potential next coaches at Michigan. Keeping in mind that hiring a coach is only half the problem, we must fire Warde if we want to bring real, meaningful, ethical changes to this scandal-ridden athletic department. #1: Kenny Dillingham/Arizona State HC: He has built a real nice program at Arizona State. They are a non-traditional winner within the power 5 schools. Outside of that year they had jake Plummer back in the 1990s, they have had little success/. He has manages to recruit a solid foundation of good college players and a few NFL players. He's built the program up to a CFB Playoff contender in the NIL and portal era. #2: Jesse Minter/LA Chargers DC: The reasons to want him and not want him are obvious. It may be that the university wants to move completely past the Harbaugh era that was ridden with scandal. if they do, I can certainly understand why. I can also see the university being arrogant about it and trying to deflect and deny there was ever a problem at all. That said, if Minter's hands are clean of any of the recruiting violations, Connor Stalions cheating, other issues, I'd consider him for sure. He may be waiting for an NFL job though. #3: Jedd Fisch/Washington HC: I am both hot and cold on Fisch. He hasn't exactly lit the world on fire as a coach, but did have nice, sustained success at another hard to recruit and win at school in Arizona. He has the Michigan ties too, which always seems to be a benefit for coaching candidates. I like the guy well enough that I would feel satisfied if he was our hire. #4: Joe Brady/Buffalo Bills OC: The architect of the 2019 LSU offense and the current OC for the Buffalo Bills. He’s young, a brilliant offensive mind, has college coaching and recruiting experience, and is due for a big head coaching job somewhere. #5: Glenn Schumann/Georgia DC: The most coveted defensive assistant in the country. He has been the right-hand man to Kirby Smart for years at a power 5, SEC school. I would presume that he also understands how to recruit and manage a roster full of 5-star talent, high-paid players, and big egos coaching at Georgia. He's only 35 I believe and has no midwest ties, so those are strikes against him. Also, if you're looking to change the culture, I don't know that hiring a Georgia HC is going to do it, given their problems down there. #6: Jason Eck/New Mexico HC: One of the big up and coming coaching names. He has midwest ties having played at Wisconsin. #7: Bryant Haines/Indiana DC: The secret weapon behind Indiana's historic 2024-2025 run. His man-match schemes have shutdown high-powered Big Ten offenses all year. Look what they did to Ohio in the Big Ten Championship game, they completely neutered them. #8 Jim Leonhard/Broncos Defensive Assistant and former Wisconsin DC: Probably the guy Wisconsin should have fired instead of my boy Luke Fickell. Leonhard has the midwest recruiting and Big Ten coaching experience you might want in a hire. He is also one of the younger names out there too, with a lot of room to grow. His coaching and recruiting experience in minimal, but not that much less so than some of the others on people's lists. And then there's John Harbaugh/Ravens HC: If and only if he gets fired, he is my instant #2 choice behind Cignetti. If he were to get fired and Michigan still hasn't found its coach, I would immediately call Harbaugh. He probably says no and would almost assuredly get another NFL job. But I think this is another example where you have to make the call.

Don't lie and say you wouldn't be happy if it actually happened. Hiring the coach is only 50% of the equation because they still must fire their AD and bring someone else in. But this guy has a proven track record of not only changing a team's on-field performance, but changing an organization culturally as well. And he has seemingly done so without scandal, major issues, or multiple recruiting violations. He's a guy that can both make Michigan and a winner and work alongside a new AD to clean up the culture in the program.

Can't one argue that parody has helped the NFL increase their ratings? Since the implementation of a rigid salary cap ratings for the NFL have done nothing but go up, in big markets and small. It has become the number one sports product in the US in its post salary cap era. Over the past three years you know what team has been one of the very best for TB ratings? Not the Giants or Jets in NYC. Not the Chargers or Rams in LA. But our Lions, right here in little ole, midwest, Detroit, MI. Imagine if the NFL had no cap and a big 6 of the Chargers (LA), Cowboys (Dallas), Giants (NYC), Jets (NYC), Patriots (Boston), and Rams (LA) buying all the players, while everyone else lost all of their good players to them and the small market teams lost literally anyone good the minute their rookie contracts expired. I would argue and think it could be stated, that the NFL's ratings would be worse and its growth stunted as smaller and mid-market fans wouldn't have as much of a reason to care.

Insane! If he does run, and I think he will, Barack Obama has a civic and moral duty to also run again. I would prefer a President far more to the left of Barack Obama. But at that point, with democracy and The Constitution in complete crisis and likely dead, we'd need someone like Obama who is the closet thing Democrats have to a guaranteed victory.

Not at all. Donald Trump wants to be a war time President like Bush was because he thinks it will make him more popular. Wartime Presidents often start out popular and then see their popularity plummet once the war goes south. In Trump's case, no serious American outside of the kool-aid drinking base see's Venezuela has a threat the way Americans were conditions to see Saddam and Iraq as a threat. On top of that, he has neocons in his administration and big oil executives who are itching for a war to get their hands on Venezuelan oil reserves. It's Iraq all over again and the drugs from Venezuela are the new WMDs. We just might see Baghdad Don on TV telling us why we have to go to war in the coming weeks with Venezuela and telling us what a great job we are doing in the war once it starts.

Chances are he would have gotten to coach at least one of his 100 or so kids. Oh sorry, I read that as Shawn Kemp.
