I wouldn't play Lendeborg the rest of tonight. Get him ready for the game on Monday. This one is over barring an all time collapse by Michigan. Even when Yaxel hasn't been on the court Michigan is still dominating.

Michigan's defense is incredible tonight. They are giving no second chance points and are scoring every possession they get after an Arizona bucket.

Just wild how awful our goal differential is this season overall, but especially over the past month.

The one real nice thing to see is everytime Arizona looks like they are going on a run and getting back into it, Michigan tamps it down and takes back control of the game. Dominate defense thus far by Michigan.

Yaxel looking like he won't be returning, certainly not this half.

Lions have drafted several players with injury histories that include or go beyond just an ACL injury. I am talking about injuries that kept the player out at least half a season or more in college and/or had multiple injuries during their career. Three of the players they drafted did have ACL injuries in college. They drafted the following players who had some sort of injury history in college. Antoine Green - Broken leg and collar bone Christian Mahogany - ACL Hendon Hooker - ACL Ennis Rakestraw - ACL and shoulder Josh Paschal - Cancer (no disrespect intended, but it is a risk) Levi Onwuzurike - Back Mekhi Wingo - Undisclosed injury Miles Fraizer - Knee

I did a mock draft today using the ESPN NFL Mock Draft simulator. I tried to balance out what I wanted the team to do and what I felt Brad, Dan, and the front office would do. I did no trades in this mock and used every pick we had. I anticipate we will be trading up several times in the draft, but this one I did not. 1st: Monroe Freeling/T-Georgia 2nd: Gave Jacas/DE-Edge-Illinois 4th: Toriano Pride Jr./CB-Missouri 4th: Roman Hemby/RB-Indiana 5th: Louis Moore/S-Indiana 6th: Scooby Williams/DT-Texas A&M 6th: Bauer Sharp/TE-LSU 6th: Collin Wright/CB-Stanford 7th: Harrison Wallace III/WR-Ole Miss

You can forget drafting Fano or Freeling or Miller if we draft a tackle. This Oregon kid tore his ACL.

Jaden Ivey is one step away from the Westboro Baptist Church.

One of my big questions for Yzerman would be why waste a first round pick on an AHL player? Is Cossa really that bad of a player that he couldn't have been on the big league roster this year?

LOL!

What's entertaining about going 0-16 other than the excitement of your GM finally getting canned?

Yes drafting well helps and it is the main reason they've done very well. But some of their free agent signings and trades helped too. They made big signings of Saquan Barkley, Bryce Huff, CJGJ, and Devin White in 2024 along with Torrey Smith and Alshon Jeffery in 2017. They also traded for AJ Brown as you mentioned in 2023, Kevin Byard in 2023, and Ronald Darby in 2017.

I'm going to watch this and the main broadcast. I'm glad CBS/TNT made the call and is taking the time out to do something like this. In all seriousness, and no disrespect to C-Webb, I do look forward to checking out the Fab Five broadcast.

This too. Going all in isn't all bad. If you look at teams like the Eagles and Rams, they are clear, recent examples of success for going all in. The Rams won one Super Bowl right off the bat doing it and damn near made another one this year. The Eagles have won two Super Bowls with a more aggressive approach. I remember hearing at stat somewhere that talked about how most Super Bowl teams spend up to the cap in the year they make/win a Super Bowl.
