Seems like every week Rolling Stone comes out with a huge if true story and it goes nowhere. (I know I said that the last time)

LOL

This reminds me a little bit of the 1960 election and JFK talking of the "missile gap". There was no gap. He knew it once he became the candidate and got intelligence briefings. But he kept saying it knowing that Nixon couldn't refute him without disclosing classified briefings. The DOJ is following their process to not comment. Everything we know about this comes from the target.

They reflexively say it so often that they don't realize how dumb it really sounds. "Uh... yeah... that's the point. Nobody is above the law. That's how it is supposed to work"

Wasn't the judge a Trump appointee? I thought I read that yesterday. what kind of President appoints Epstein linked judges?

The title of the series finale is "Saul Gone"

Yep. Quit trying to figure it out. Myself included. They will do it better.

Think about how different this Vince Gilligan universe would be if Howard didn’t go to Jimmy and Kim’s apartment? Would Jimmy have gone full Saul? I think post Kim is when he broke hard. Evil. Would Gus and Mike ever gotten to Walt if not for Saul? on the old site I said that the Saul transformation reminded me of Anakin and Vader. Star Wars 4-6 was the story of Luke. When you put 1-3 in there with the prequels it gives 4-6 a different meaning. It’s Anakin’s story. With BCS we are seeing Jimmy was the catalyst for it all and it happened when Lalo shot Howard.

If he’s got stuff there he’s not supposed to have… what is there to “prove”? What’s this “slam dunk” talk?

What a tribute to a TV pioneer to have her play a pivotal role in one of the greatest shows.

I like the idea that the call was about money and it may not be Kim. That was just a code name for whoever had it stashed away. He’s mad because he’s broke and that is why the scams came about.

Because he drafted Dustin Pedrioia?

I mentioned this earlier but I saw a comment on the internet comparing Breaking Bad to Godfather I and BCS to Godfather II. The first one is more popular and accessible but the second one is the better film and story. No criticism at all of Breaking Bad. It's hard for me to judge clearly because I binged Breaking Bad when BCS was announced so that I could follow along BCS in real time. So maybe I didn't get the full experience knowing my answers were just an hour away if I chose to keep going that day. Sometimes the joy is waiting for the next episode or season and chewing on what you just saw for awhile.

Happy BCS day.

I was at that game. I didn’t really know what was going on but I remember it. I was thinking “who are these old guys? Let’s get the game going”. To think I saw those players up close. We had seats behind the dugout. Dang.

He took his ass back to his lake house.

Right. What made VW work was it’s utility and simplicity. The demographic wasn’t sexy in a corporate sense. At that time they wanted people buying new every year.

Henry Ford II was offered VW by the US government as a reward for getting out of the navy to go home to turn around Ford during the war as his grandfather was becoming loony and things were getting dicey.. They needed the plants running to win. Ford turned them down.

See… I like to be early just in case but I would have just gotten close then texted and said “we are early and are just walking around. But if driving isn’t a consideration then there’s no excuse.

I think they would have suggested we trade them for someone like Sparky Lyle. Or hyping the guys at AAA.

And I wonder if an internet in 1977 would have been talking about Trammell and Whitaker and Morris leading us to a WS one day?

Chris Ilitch will be at the stadium today for Lou. Will see a packed house. Energy. Tigers might win. They he will think “it’s all good”.

An engaged ownership group would have known that. I know DD was the CEO and President too so he's more than just the GM therefore everyone in the office probably had some reservations speaking about him in a negative way because he's everybody's boss. But if you as an owner see failure from a guy like DD who runs everything you don't just chop off the head and give everybody else a bump and think it'll work out. Ilitch's problem wasn't that he saw failure. He just got sick of the idea that someone was getting too much credit and wanted big money. It's his team dammit, not anybody else's. He was jealous of DD.

I was talking to my wife about this and we remembered joking about a Walgreen's being in the bottom floor of our hotel and there was another one right across the street. You could stand in the doorway of one and see the other one. Like 50 yards away.

Jon needs to be on TV again on a regular basis. He can troll these fuckers and they'll take the bait.
