  1. There's a great video of him playing that at the Opry. I saw him at the Strand Theater in Pontiac in 2016 with about 200 other people. Then I saw him at St. Andrews, then the Fillmore with Greensky, then by himself at the Fillmore and Pine Knob. He sold out Bridgestone in Nashville. Good for him. He's a legitimate good guy and I'm glad he's a local MI boy.
  2. I grew up in a flight path for Metro and still live in the area. Seeing planes take off and land is very common and I know where they are supposed to be. When I see one elsewhere, it scares me. I was in Phoenix, coming back the next day, when 255 happened here. Everybody around saw the smoke and could smell the fumes. I have recurring dreams of seeing a plane crash.
  3. I put very little stock in what reporters do now because the marketing and structure of the game has changed so much. The leagues have their own media now. The players are well paid and are walking corporations. They do not need the media to promote their business like they did before. We don't need to pick up a copy of the News to find out when the Tigers are going to be on TV next or to check the box score from last night. It's not just the manager, a few coaches, and the GM running things. There's a dozen coaches, dozens of front office staff, a POBO, a GM, Assistant GM's, etc. etc. Nobody's going to risk their career to help Chris McCosky with a scoop. We don't need them to tell us what happened or what's going to happen and the players and orgs don't need them to promote themselves or do their jobs. Their job now is to tell us who got married. We might get some interesting, but yet boring and uncontroversial, info if anyone shows up on Benetti and Dan's podcast. But they're all Tiger employees so they don't want to hurt the brand. Gone are the days of whispers at the Lindell AC and knowing about Rozema and Gibby's shenanigans with the trapeze sisters.
  4. She's not a good writer. She uses too many words just to make a word count. Redundancy. And will throw in random stats that don't really have meaning or sense. "Second consecutive day of drawing a 3 ball count twice before the 6th inning" "Had 3 Runs Batted In for the third time in the last 9 games" She plays the influencer game where she over tags people and topics to draw clicks. I applaud her for following her dream and passion but being critical of her work is fair game. We've ripped tons of the Tigers twitter folks here over the years. We don't have to be extra nice to her just because she's a girl. She gets paid for some of her work and has asked for donations to support it.
  5. Does that include our whore of a first lady?
  6. if you ever saw the movie The Right Stuff, you will remember the nurse to the astronauts. She told Gordo Cooper (Dennis Quaid) she needed a sperm sample so he went into the stall next to John Glenn (Ed Harris) and they both started whacking off to their respective service's fight songs. (Marines vs Air Force). She later went on to become a traffic reporter in DC and her chopper crashed live on the air. 6 months before that she survived a crash into the river.
  7. They’re all corrupt. Did you hear our Democrat SoS made a dealership fill out their paperwork correctly?
  8. I was pushed content about an OnlyFans person on the Facebook. I asked Meta, from their own prompt, why she was famous. It is mixing up her name with a Wisconsin politician. So I’m getting shown bikini clad videos indicated there’s more to be had, with Christian family value content from this politician. Good stuff.
  9. I believe the movement overall dies with him, or at least reduces significantly. He's the draw that makes this movement stick to the point where they have majorities. But i refuse to believe anything will work against him while he's in office and alive. I've seen this "This time he's losing it" story too many times before.
  10. but nothing will happen to him.
  11. I think ChatGPT is on the path to that. At least in my circle of people.
  12. Erin Grey was my first crush probably.... those eyes.
  13. Weird, not surprising.
  14. People around the country think that prayer calls last all day and that’s it’s illegal to eat pork and Sharia Law is the norm. Never mind Dearborn Ham, two breweries, and 3 strip clubs.
  15. We've had two sitting members of congress publicly call for the deportation and ban of Muslims. Not just some Muslims from certain countries. Muslims in general. It's out in the open and that's today's GOP. Some people are ok with it. If you criticize it then you are "deranged" or something.
  16. It's a deliberate action to avoid going there. They are literally right next to each other. If the shoe fits... in other words there is no middle ground when it comes to fascism. It's not my problem to reconcile. TDS is a myth used to deflect accountability for principals, logic, and decency. Its easier throwing that term around than thinking.
  17. If the internet were around in the 1940's would there have been people saying "you have Hitler derangement syndrome"?
  18. People mag says Reiner and his son got into a big fight/argument at a party the night before held at Conan’s house.
  19. Wonder what Kirk would have said about Reiners murder if he didn’t get shot.
  20. Please explain what the **** TDS is and how whatever it might be is bad to the point to warrant it being used as some kind of slur. You are incapable of criticizing the man without some kind of caveat or disclaimer. As if you are afraid of something. What is it? Will you be kicked out of Macomb County? the man is the president and leader of a vicious and killer cult and every bad thing he does needs to be highlighted and spoken about. If that’s TDS then do be it.
  21. They just blame it on the “blacks” in the “BIG CITIES” in those states. It’s never thru meth infused rednecks.
  22. Anthony Geary, Luke from General Hosptial died yesterday. I always link Luke and Laura’s wedding, Prince Charles and Diana’s wedding, and the launch of the first space shuttle together in my memory bank. I was 7-8 years old and I vividly remember how big of a deal those were at the time. All happpend within about 6 months of each other in ‘81.
  23. Susie Wiles is the daughter of Pat Summerall.
  24. The most dangerous thing are the sanctimonious people who believe what they are doing is divinely inspired and holy. Because of that they don’t have to defend anything themselves. They can just point to a book written by men over hundreds of years who argued over the meaning of engravings found rocks and scrolls and came up with something they called the Bible and even among themselves still can’t sort out which books belong or not and which text is literal or not. They just make it up as they go song to justify their hate of the era, whether it’s against minorities or women or gays or the Muslims or the Protestants (or Catholics depending on who is doing the talking)
  25. And that’s why people who like him and support him are also horrible people.
