Cossa stops 26 shots an route to his 2nd shut out at Toledo
-
I'm 62...been watching the Piston since Lanier was in his prime. The game is different...low post offense isn't as much of a thing any more. It's definitley more perimeter and jump shot oriented. Defense is maybe a bit less physical...but there aren't a of of uncontested shots today...guys play defense the length of the floor. Teams that are good at spacing have more room to operate towards the basket...that can be fun. Would love to have seen a guy like Dominique Wilkins flying down the lane in today's game...or Bob McAdoo or Lanier working on the perimeter facing the basket

Bring Andre Drummond home

Of all the pro sports...NBA trades are the craziest trades.
-
Keion White from GA Tech looks like a fast rising DL prospect...if wedon't go edge at 6...White could be in play at 18. He's a big, versatile edge who could slide inside as needed.

Columbus checks in at #3 on Wheeler's list

As a kid growing up in pre HDTV times I used to love monkeying around with my parents tower antenna to see what kind of TV channels we could pick up. We lived in NW Ohio in a pretty flat open area. Used to be able to pick up the Pirates, Indians and Expo games pretty regularly. Then I got old enough to buy alcohol and date....I lost interest in night time baseball. Did manage to watch the news from a TV station out of Nebraska... That was cool.

Kasper, Edvinsson, Wallinder...they've all taken steps fwd this year.
-
Most stand alone streaming services top out around $10. I could do $10...didnt see the value in $20

When they got Fred Lynn it was right at the playoff roster deadline...There was some weird story about him not getting here in time..IIRC, you could technically "report" to your team if the plane you were on contacted the control tower at the airport. He didn't make that and the Tigers could have lied about it, but did not. So, had they made the playoffs that year, Fred Lynn would not have been eligible because Bill Lajoie was an honest Joe

I'm a BGSU alum...Karl Brooks was one of the few bright spots on our team. He lined up inside and out and absolutely terrorized QB's. Would love to see him in Detroit. So far as 2024 goes...we had a WR from the Detroit area named Tyrone Broden xfer out to Arkansas. 6-7 with sub 4.5 speed and a monster catch radius. Our head coach is a moron (Scot Loeffler) or we might have targeted him enough to get him to stay. Broden will get some NFL looks next year

Al Avila was like a bad salesman...closed a few deals, but burned way too many leads to be successful
-
ESPN's McDaniel has his top 100 out. Keith is at 75, Wilmer Flores is at 90. No Jobe (Mayer is #7) and no Jung (his brother is #38). Ranking Flores above Jobe is.....odd in my view.
-
Not sure how I feel about trading Bey..be nice to get that 1st back...but Reddish? Then again..how does Bey fit into the future? If the plan is to keep Bojan, he's going to have to com of the bench. He may not be OK with that
-
I think...maybe...Yount was hurt a bit by the fact that he wasn't a huge HR guy. Had a lot of TB because you could count on him for @40 doubles a year and @10 triples, but his HR totals were lower. People are marks for the long ball
-
Feature I found on Yount and the AS game... https://shepherdexpress.com/sports/brew-crew-confidential/robin-yount-only-made-three-all-star-teams-what-gives/
-
Yount was the MVP in 1989 and didn't make the All Star Game...perhaps he didn't want to be a part of things and made that clear?
-
Tim Corcoran...that man cast a long shadow
-
The starter is 28 and has taken a team to the Super Bowl...so yeah, draft a guy to hold a clipboard and become the back up. With so many holes on defense to fill, it would be silly to draft a QB that high
-
The Lions are in more of a draft a guy to groom him (3rd day) than find a franchise QB (1st rd) mode.
-
Another factor in all this is the pirate sites like sports surge who allow people to view premium content for free
-
I wonder if he wouldn't have been better served playing on the wing from day one. The prospect of a big physical C with a bit of a scoring touch is tempting, but he really looks good on the wing
-
Article from Bultman on the Athletic about a deal for Horvat...to summarize...IIRC..adding him would be tricky with Larkin not signed. The ask would likely be Kasper +, (which I wouldn't do as we are not in "win now" mode) or as an alternative, Hronek, Veleno or Ras +...I would not be adverse to a package with Hronek as the centerpiece and Veleno as an add on. I am not trading Ras

Wilt leas the league in total assists in 67-68. My appreciation for Walton's passing abilities is largely observational...that and I'm admittedly biased because those 76-77 and 77-78 Blazer teams are amongst my favorite teams of all time

I dated a girl who drove a VW Golf in the late 80's. It was a nice reliable car...she was also nice and reliable and built like Jessica Rabbit....VW also made the Rabbit
