This story about his accounting firm not only disavowing the last decade's worth of financial records but straight up cutting ties feels like a turning point day in the investigation by the New York's AG's office.

I grew up listening to Frank Beckman call UofM football games. I was too young for Bob Ufer as he died before my time, so for me it was always Frank Beckman on the radio. I really enjoyed Frank as a play-by-play guy for Michigan and the Tigers. Sad to see he had just retired and barely got to enjoy a minute of it. 72 years old and just into retirement, such a shame to have happen. RIP Frank Beckman!

I think that the comments about Ben Johnson are great, until or unless he gets Lionized. I don't know that Zac Taylor is familiar with the process of Lionization, so I'll forgive him. Seriously, that's great praise to get from the Super Bowl runner-up coach in Taylor. I hope we got a good one here with Ben Johnson as our OC.

I'll just say it, congratulations Matt Stafford on winning a Super Bowl. A well deserved and earned honor, but I'll be the first to say I never thought you'd be able to deliver.

Zac Taylor with a really terrible play call there on 3rd and 1.

Refs blew it there with the no call on offensive pass interference.

ACL injury for Beckham?

GIGANTIC coaching blunder by Zac Taylor going for it on 4th and 1. That was just coaching stupidity to go for it when you're on the 50 yard line that early in the game.

I think Stafford and the Rams win tonight.

It'd be nice to see Kamara get held to account and never play football again, assuming he is guilty of this attack. Somehow, I think he might skate on jail time to assault and be back playing for the Saints or someone else in the NFL after a brief suspension.

Jim Brandstatter just announced that Frank Beckman passed away.

Of course. All the things I want out of my elected officials. Forget universal healthcare, equitable justice, livable wages, union rights, and good public schools. I want zingers. If you're zingers aren't any good or unoriginal, you won't get my vote.

A Ben Shapiro favorite.

I think so too given the terrible circumstances his season ended under. I see Treylon Burks and Drake London creeping up the draft boards now and him falling back. I think London and Burks will be gone along with Olave and Wilson by the team pick #32 rolls around. I think we might be looking in the Jalen Tolbert, Jahan Dotson, David Bell crop of receivers with Williams having the most chance of the first tier receivers falling back to #32.

Frank was a pioneer and boundary pusher when it came to sports talk radio. Sportswrap a little bit before my time. I remember growing up on the original WDFN. But without the work Frank did getting full on sports talk shows on the radio, does a station like WDFN flip to all sports as early as they did in 1994?

https://www.wjr.com/paulwsmith/ Governor Whitmer was on Paul W. Smith and I thought he was surprisingly strong in his stance against the blockade. I'm glad that Paul W. doesn't just take the MAGA line and call them all heroes. Whitmer certainly critical of the impact they are having on people and their inability to be able to do shit, like, work and see people, like family. I'm glad she's not trying to bothsidesit right now and taking a clear position. Nice that some right wing voice here locally is critical of this protest. Can't wait to see what, if any, MAGA take Nolan Finley is going to have. Maybe he'll surprise me too.

Freep: Retired radio host Frank Beckmann in hospice care, family says Sad to see former Michigan play-by-play man Frank Beckman is in hospice care and only has days to live it appears. Frank was a voice I grew up on for many years listening to Michigan football games on WJR. Thoughts to his family.

I like Dotson as a player, I just don't know that he's the type of receiver we need given that we have St. Brown already. Dotson is only 5'10, 183lbs and I think we need a big bodied vertical threat who can be a sideline and redzone threat. Treylon Burks at 6'3, Jalen Tolbert at 6'3, Drake London at 6'5 is the type or wideout I want to grab with a 1st or 2nd round pick.

They also think if you talk louder or more forcefully it somehow makes you correct, or at least seem correct in the eyes of other people.

We had 4 years of Trump and too many Democrats stayed home and independents didn't like McAuliffe. The whole "I promise I'm not like Trump" thing that Youngkin scammed the voters on is off to a rocky start. Voters still fell for it though and that's their fault.

That's the thing Trump and his political allies understand better than anything, if you tell a lie over and over again, as long as you just keep more or less the same lie going, people will eventually start believing you and doubting the truth. They also understand you can muddy up the truth by telling those same lies and get people to become apathetic and believe all politics and all politician are the same and equally crooked or unscrupulous. When in reality, they are just full of shit and lack more scruples than almost anyone. Lying and deciding is an artform for Trump and his political allies like Meadows, Gym Jordan, Guliani, Flynn, Powell, Lindell, and others. To your point, because they have hammered home this election lie so many times over the course of a year or more, very viewing on Newsmax, Fox, OAN, believes them.

Sure, we can find them off the waivers or in the 4th/5th rounds and I'd be ok with that. I'm not dead set on taking Kenneth Walker or Isiah Spiller or Breece Hall in the 2nd or 3rd. I would point out that almost all the top franchises over the past 4-5 years are still trying to their their RB1 in the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd rounds of the draft. Whether or not it has always worked out is a different story, but they are almost all doing it. Bengals, Bills, Bucs, Chiefs, Packers, Patriots, Rams, Ravens, Seahawks, Steelers, Titans have all tried it. Now, we can and should look at the success rates they've been having compared to just getting a later round RB1 or a free agent/waiver pickup. But these are regarded as the successful franchises over the past several seasons and they're going for broke in the draft to get their RB1.

Jamaal Williams only has 1 year left on his deal and will be 28 to start the 2023 season. Does he get an extension beyond next year?

Did you pass on all of Garrett Wilson, Chris Olave, Drake London, Jameson Williams at #10 with the Jets pick?
