Veleno is frustrating because he shows little flashes but never maintains those moments of intensity for long. Berggren is going to produce more than Veleno or Zadina. How much? IDK.

If it's not close than either people that voted for him in Nov have changed their minds or they stay home, I'm not picky about which.

Guys in the booth talking about being excited to get Zadina back. Really?

who is this QB and what did he do with Jeff-game-manager-dink-and-dunk-Goff?

You so the one thing Avila never did, you take a bad contract that come with a good prospect. It's about the only way you can effectively buy draft picks with cash in baseball.

The scale that the Chinese work at is almost unfathomable - the roads, the cities, the whole deal. Supposedly at its peak, the Ford Rouge complex employed 100,000. Rouge in its day was probably far bigger than any single facility/complex operating in the US today (I've seen Boeing cited as the largest current US site at nearly 100 acres, Rouge was mulitples of that). Then imagine 3x that. Crazy.

just hit the hole and take 3 yds, Enough of the shake and bake ..or make 8

Not sure I want to see Edwards out there on this drive. He's been looking for the HR on every run and what they need is put your head down and get 1st downs.

that was a weird-ass play

a little good coverage goes a long way

they just need to cover someone...

they could have called a half dozen holds or illegal low blocks as well and haven't. Still M is trying pretty hard to give this away.

Michigan secondary looking like OSU's last week.

THese guys in the booth are idiots. It wasn't that a bad play, it was there but he overthrew it badly.

sort of a chip off the old block.. a smaller, smarter, way cheaper to fly version of the B2

That penalty is declinable and Purdue did.

You can't replace the scale of Foxxconn's production in any hurry. If they can get it to less than 50% in the next 36mo I'll be surprised.

this game was lost from the minute nobody on Larkin's line bothered to get back on the Eichel goal. Listless performance by virtually every Wing on the ice tonight other than maybe Husso.

attention, revenge, and money. All good.

I guess the other thing that worries me in Jeimer's 2021 is that a chunk of his performance is doubles, and doubles can be a really noisy stat - there is just a lot of luck getting balls down the line and his doubles rate that season is an outlier that stands in opposition of other peripherals like his K rate which were more stable. Conversely, the fall-off in his walk rate from a pretty steady career average in '22 was worrisome. I think you can look at Jeimer's last two seasons and draw any conclusion you want and provide reasonable justification. What we don't know is the inside information of what he may have been trying to do/coached to do approach wise and how that may argue in his favor or not, or as noted before, if there was or wasn't any nagging physical issue that the team understood but was never public.

Placido was a head scratcher. Sure he was getting old for 2B but he still put in two more decent years. Maybe he was demanding more years than the Tigers would offer, but he took one year in the end from Philly.

ain't it the truth? I think one thing that has gotten even worse though is that through most of US history reformers have been able to go back to those aspirational ideas to challenge society to be better. Today the public seems either to jaded or disengaged or just numb to even feel the disconnect. They've bought into 'Murica! think - nothing is wrong, leave me alone.

Jeesh - Utah outscored USC 44-7 from a point early in the 2nd Qtr.

Turn out the lights, This party's over....

"that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed," It amazes me that America has bought into so much right wing business propaganda claptrap about inviolability of the market etc., that we can't even figure out that an abuse like this is *exactly* what our particular government *is* supposed to exist to deal with.
