Mr.TaterSalad

There doesn't appear to be a front runner between Craig, Dixon, Rinke, and now Perry Johnson. I feel like Craig is probably their strongest candidate in the bunch. I'd like to think Rinke dropping the n-bomb, the c*** word, and other harassing statements made towards coworkers and customers would disqualify him from being the nominee and Governor, but we all know that won't be the case. This is America, land of the free, home of no accountability.

West MI Politics: Republican Gubernatorial candidate Kevin Rinke hit with multiple sexual and racial harassment lawsuits and created toxic work environment. Freep: Past Lawsuits Hang Over Kevin Rinke People of all walks of life, of all backgrounds, of all affiliations, Republicans and Democrats and Greens and Libertarians, men and women, are pieces of shit. The difference is, when you discover someone is a piece of shit, are you willing to call it out or not. Are you will to stand up and rebuff that toxic behavior. Are you willing to defend and help the victim of that behavior. Will you work to prevent that behavior. Kevin Rinke is a piece of shit, it would seem. Kevin Rinke created a toxic work environment that was rife with harassment, racism, sexism and toxic masculinity. Hopefully he does not end up the Republican nominee and his base rebukes him. We know that isn't happening. So hopefully he doesn't end up Governor.

The party of LAW AND ORDER!

True, it has and we've gotten our hopes up before. But now, we're getting to the Arthur Anderson part of the Enron investigation where the real meat and potatoes of fraud may come to light.

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.
