If TB wins you'd have to go back to the Islanders in the early 80's for a 3 peat.

Reminds me of an old article I saw posted a few weeks ago about her when she was a teenager.... "The grooming of Kate Bush".

I don't think homosexuality is being pushed on anybody. Many Christians think even having something around is "shoving it down our throats". Is it endorsing something by wearing a patch? I don't think so. I just sense a lot of hypocrisy by certain people when they go after some forms of protest but demand acceptance when they do the same thing.

What I like about the show is I'm of the same age chronologically as the kids. Interesting tidbit on season 4 that's not a spoiler.... Eddie Munson has a big Dio patch on the back of his jean jacket. That was given to the production by Ronnie's widow because she's a fan. Loved my jean jacket.

We wrapped up Stranger Things over the weekend and it was enjoyable. Right amount of camp, nostalgia, and fear. I didn't think I would be as into it but they did a nice job telling the 3 stories.

The one good thing Trump did was expose guys like Cruz and Rubio was liars and weak cowards. Never let it be said I never complemented the guy.

And comparisons to alcohol are not wrong. There is not a difference in principal but there’s definitely a difference in degree.

I too have a problem with the ESPN style shows where all they are talking about is gambling lines and all that. They are manipulating drama. That’s not for just casual betting. That’s intended to hook people and make it part of their daily lives. Most likely younger people who can least afford it. The presentation is it has a very TMZ feel to it. Creates a sense of urgency. It’s the same tactics they use on Black Friday sales. plus it’s boring. Nobody care about your betting from last night. It’s as interesting as your golf game or fantasy football results or what happened in poker.

I can’t watch it. The camera angles are different. I don’t like the announcers. Seems like the quality is lower. Has a dark tone to the visuals. It’s not my TV because other games are not like that. Also I want to switch back and forth when the hockey game starts and it’s harder to do that when it’s a streaming app. Dickerson on the radio is a definite upgrade.

so a bunch of psycho helicopter parents worried about their child's athletic performance will get to have the competition's parts checked out? We've reached peak Karen.

I'll forgo the lost revenue if it makes it harder for someone to get a gun like this. If it means out of 20 mass shooters only 17 successfully get one on the black market then we have 3 fewer mass shootings. The goal of eliminating mass shootings is pie in the sky but if you pass laws that reduce it even by 1 then it's all worth it.

Then you can arrest those people as criminals. I don't see it as a problem that's not already here.

if you have Xfinity peacock is free

I would ban the sale of guns on credit. Has to be a cash or direct payment transaction.

He's also on the board of Fox News or whatever the group is called.... another one that was massively disappointing to me. He could have been President. I believe it strongly.

For sure. I was making of what Fox News would try to do. I would wager that 80% of white people at that time used the N word.

I don't think he and his team would have known how to do that yet. He was still a loser and the party kept him at arm's length until that night when he won. They didn't have the infrastructure that comes with being a President.

They will bring up that Lyndon Johnson and Harry Truman said it in 1949 and the Chryon will say "DEM HYPOCRISY ON N WORD"

I was at the game in 2003 when he was going for 300 wins at Comerica Park. It was a sellout. Tigers came back late to tie it... game went like 17 innings.

I don't think any votes were "stolen". Any fraud that was there was probably what's typical for a given year. But now everyone's learned the weak points in the system , the crazy people have risen to the surface, so any close election going forward will be open to criticism by the crazy people.

Interesting tidbit in the Freep article on Clemens. He called Detroit a second home. Had an aunt that lived in Harper Woods and when his teams were in town he stayed in her basement rather than the team hotel.

He was wearing a Tigers Jersey in the suite. Of course it was the shitty home jersey with the wrong D on it... still bitter about that.

I think that too but are other teams experiencing this too? Can't judge a book by it's cover but have you seen our head athletic trainer?
