Josie Cotton had a minor hit with that song in 83 or 84..

The irony of taking Willis at #2 and passing on an edge is that passing on an edge may be a factor in making us bad enough to draft high enough to land a franchise QB next year...

Huzzah!!! There will be baseball to watch on my office TV this spring!!!

Starting to see mocks with Georgia's Trayvon Walker leapfrogging Thibodeaux as the 2nd edge off the board...is Thibs freaking people out that badly...or did Walker just test REALLY well. Malik Willis at #2 smacks of the FOMO effect Leaf has talked about. I hope it's a smoke screen to spur interest in a trade down

That's the kind of loss that gets your coach fired

The surprisingly intelligent and articulate Ryan Leaf's take on the combine from the Eisen show

Can you imagine the embarrassment if they measured...everything. Pickett has the smallest wang of any QB at the combine...ever. That kind of talk could ruin a man's life

Back when Arthur Treacher's Fish and Chips was a thing they had a fried chicken sandwich with Russian dressing that was so good. Today...I'm ashamed to admit I enjoyed it

As the anti-Russian fever spreads, is it possible that the NHL will say nyet to drafting anyone from Russia or Belarus this year?

Speaking of Finland... Jokerit has dropped out of the KHL in protest over Russia's invasion of Ukraine

Outside of the core four of Larkin, Seider, Raymond and Ned...I would listen to offers on anyone. You would have to give me a lot to get Bert...overpaying even...but I would definitely be open to dealing him. What would your ask be for Bert? If a toxic asset with health issues like Eichel can fetch a top six F, a decent prospect and a 1st and a 2nd rd pick...I would think Bert should net something in that range

A pretty good non Tiger book from years ago is Peter Gammons' "Beyond the Sixth Game". It takes a close look at the Red Sox from post 1975 WS to the mid 80's. The Sox were a bit of a clown show during that period (let's forget to mail Fisk a contract so he becomes a FA) so it's an interesting study

It's not the money...it's the amount

It would rival the time the Philly PD firebombed a city block to get the MOVE people out

For me...that PK sequence Mo had against the Flyers was every bit as spectacular as anything Zegras has done. He toyed with them for what...30 seconds?

Moritz Seider....Calder top three and Norris top five?

Berggren with 4 assists tonight for GR

You expect me to believe that a city built around the entertainment industry would have a lot of front runners? Yep..that seems plausible

The disquieting thing about Zadina is the talk that his mental approach is an issue...that he loses confidence and presses when things get tough. What do you do with that? Rasmussen shouldn't be playing C. His skating has improved, but I think the game is too fast for him as a C. Let him run up and down a wing for a year and see what you have.

I give him a solid B+... I don't know who designed the passing plays...but they do an excellent job with disguising wheel routes. Amon ra and Swift were wide open a number of times on those because the DB's and LB's were sucked into the middle

They're in a nice spot...trade back for assets (with their first or the Rams) or stay put and pick up three of the top 34 guys on your board. This is the draft that could make Brad Holmes a Made Man in Detroit sports. My hopes...stay put with Thibodeaux or Hutchinson, a WR with the Rams pick and then look at LB and DB

ESPN was covering the NHL in 1994 and they had their usual glut of college hoops...hey had a lot to talk about other than baseball

If I'm trading out of a shot at one of the Big 3 spots (LT, QB, Edge) on the roster....I'm gonna want a LOT in return. If we were naturally sitting at 5...I'd have zero issue with Stingley or Hamilton. If I'm trading down...I better get a ridiculous haul.

I've seen a couple of mocks online that have us trading down with the Giants ( we get some unnamed picks). We end up taking Hamilton or Stingley. No....

Watched most of the 2nd period last night on a stream out of Russia...Edvinsson is so fricking mobile...seeing the highlights is one thing, but to see someone that size actually moving like that within the game it's even more impressive.
