  1. I'm all about signing Marcus Williams. We need a talent all around in the secondary and we need a Safety in the worst way to move Harris to the bench. Williams has familiarity playing under Aaron Glenn and if he is available you'd have to think Glenn would be pushing Holmes to sign him.
  2. We have a 1st Amendment that protects free speech of all people and that's great. But as a matter of good taste and judgement, anyone who supports Trump shouldn't be commenting on or being critical of someone else's decorum and professionalism in the White House unless they are willing to acknowledge and renounce the last 5 years of what we all went through. Acknowledge and renounce mocking disabled NYT reporter Serve Kovaleski, the Megyn Kelly blood coming out of her vagina comments, Cecila Vega you never think comment, all the fake news media comments, all the comments calling the media terrible people.
  3. Someone's going to make the call to Payton about being the OC or lining him up to be their coach in the future. No reason Brad and Sheila can't pick up the phone or work any mutual connections they have with Sean.
  4. It has to be asked, so I'm just going to ask it. Would you fire Dan Campbell if you had the opportunity to bring Sean Payton in as the Head Coach?
  5. Or could have said "she never thinks before asking a question" like he did to ABC News reporter Cecilia Vega. But yeah, Donald Trump saying that Megyn Kelly was so angry she was bleeding out of her eyes and her vaginal area is a pretty despicable thing to say to a woman.
  6. When he approaches 1/100th of the derogatory remarks Trump made towards the press then we can start talking. When he talks about changing libel laws, suing the press, and jailing members of the press, we can start talking. When he mocks a reporter with a disability we can start talking. Until then, take your false equivalences, pack them neatly in your satchel, and head on down the road.
  7. BTW, unlike Trump, Biden actually personally called Peter Doocy and apologized to him for the remark. An apology is something not in Trump's lexicon.
  8. While I love the potential of what Willis could become, I am terrified of what he will actually be. Sure, he could be our Josh Allen or Deshaun Watson. He could be that mobile QB with a big arm, who can make all the throws, and extend plays with his mobility. But if history is any judge, given the number of QBs who have the raw talent and don't ever turn it into anything great, it's more likely he'll be a bust. He'll become our Daunte Culpepper at best and Tavaris Jackson, Jason Campbell or Andre Ware at worst. Every scouting report I read and every highlight video I watch showcases the two major problems in Willis' game, accuracy issues and decision making. Looking at this stats, his QBR and completion % went down from his 3rd to 4th year. He had a higher passer rating and completion % than Allen did at Wyoming, but their offenses and situations were different. Again, going back to the Allen comparison, for every Josh Allen who turns it around, there are dozens who never develop into anything special. If I am the Lions and have the chance to draft one of Bryce Young or CJ Stroud next season, I'm passing on a QB this year and that includes Willis, enticing as it may be.
  9. At least former Republican Michigan Attorney General Mike Cox, married to former Republican State Rep and MIGOP Chairwoman Laura Cox, has the gumption to call out the BS in his Republican Party. Good job Republican Mike Cox.
  10. Congratulations to Matt Stafford to proving ever doubter in Detroit wrong. Me, Jeff Riger, Mike Valenti, Pat Caputo, and every fan and sports media blowhard who said you couldn't get a team over the hump. I always thought Stafford's production in crunch time combined with his salary cap hit would have held a team back from advancing in the playoffs. I was wrong and Matt Stafford got the job done, in exciting fashion to close out the game no less. I wanted the high draft pick to start the playoffs, but now that the Rams are where they are, I hope Stafford gets his chance to play in a Super Bowl for once. Go get em Stafford and win the big game!
  11. Matt Millen called Johnny Morton a fa**ot, that sounds like someone who created a toxic work culture to me.
  12. Over the next decade how many Super Bowls will Patrick Mahomes appear in and how many will he win? Assuming his body holds up I'll say he'll appear in at least 5-6 and will 3-4 of them.
  13. I guess that discount double check wasn't working tonight.
  14. Has a team ever made a Super Bowl with a QB and then ditched them the very next season? Asking for Jimmy G. Also asking to see if Trey Lance is available on the trade market.
  15. A LAUREL AND HEARTY EFFF YOU TO AARON RODGERS! LOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!!!!!!
  16. The Bengals are going to the AFC Championship Game. Mike Brown was one of the worst owners in the NFL. So The Bungles winning two playoff games and going to the AFC Title Game should offer the Ford's and Lions some hope.
  17. He would do anything for love, but won't get vaxxed. It's sad that these completely preventable deaths are not being prevented because of misinformation and lies being spread on the internet.
  18. I would presume Barr knew about this memo being drafted then. I would at least want the committee to look into what Barr knew and when prior to and up to the day he resigned.
  19. Does the memo that Politco obtained today occur before or after Bill Barr announced his resignation from the Justice Department? I am guessing Barr had no part in this and resigned over it in protest, which should trouble everyone that even Barr thought it was a step too far. I think Barr should be subpoenaed to testify before the Jan 6th Committee over this.
  20. It was also the game where the offense didn't score a single TD after the 1st quarter.
  21. I wasn't always a Stafford hater, just as I wasn't always a Ken Holland nor Jim Harbaugh hater. For the overly critical and negative fans like me, there is always a turning point with players and coaches. For me with Stafford it was the 2014 season and his inability to close the deal in Lambeau against Green Bay and then again in the Dallas game in the playoffs. Of course my dislike of Stafford went off a cliff over the next few seasons, but 2014 was the year it started for me. If the old boards were still around, none of my posts prior to 14 about Stafford were really that critical or harsh but I went off the cliff after they laid an egg against Dallas. Oddly enough, 14 is also the year I turned on Kenny Holland after he brought back Dan Clearly for the seemingly 100th time. I was wrong about Stafford's inability to win a playoff game and get his team over the hump. I was wrong about Harbaugh too this season. But I still feel vindicated about Kenny, so I'll take 1 out of 2.
  22. I'm stereotyping the Christian Right? So you're saying the Christian Right isn't against a woman's right to choose, marriage equality, LGBTQ rights, parental and adoption rights for LGBTQ individuals, etc.? Separate but equal, segregation, Jim Crow, anti-Semitic laws, were promoted in the south up until the 1960's and Civil Rights came along. More recently same sex marriage bans and Muslim travel bans were promoted. Who was it promoting these laws most vocally? Politicians who considered themselves evangelicals and their followers on the right. There are multiple studies that prove secular societies are more tolerant and that cultural changes proceed gains and improvements in wealth, education and democracy.
