Yeah, you kinda do. It seems outsmarting them would be the preferred lane.

Again, let's go back to 2016. We realize that a majority of America, not just backwoods ignoramuses, maybe dose on 5 minutes of current events a day, right? "Basket of Deplorables" backfired because it was able to be cast as a broad insult toward people who don't have time in their lives for political nuance. Just that picture alone of an angry President with an ominous backdrop is enough to give political fuel to that class of person. That class of person isn't MAGA: they just have a busy job, families, and don't want to be dragged into this morasse.

I didn't watch the speech. I was watching my alma mater play a close football game. I saw the picture circulating that was shown earlier where he looks angry with a black and red backdrop. I didn't think addressing the crazies was worthy of a primetime speech, and think it could offend some right-of center folks who weren't part of the crazy but could catch some clips in the wrong context and get mobilized (see Deplorables pt. 2). It just seemed like poking at some beehives unnecessarily.

No, she went into it looking like a 90 year old college football talking head.

Somehow a fellow Purdue fan thinks I'm still on his team and was blowing up my phone to vent about Biden instead of the football game last night and sent me some pic of Biden last night with swastikas all over. Pretty much calling him a fascist. Quick J6 nazi Google search couldn't find any, but I thought there were. I was going to present a counter.

Deplorables pt 2

I didn't watch, but the optics of that primetime speech don't look good to me at all.

Jaffe is always salty. I had to unfollow him, just to at least try to get my timeline to a simmer.

Are they really going into a discussion on team WAR? That's a stat that is pretty devoid of meaning when you have actual wins. I've noticed this when Shep overemphasizes a meaningless fact, but I get the feeling some of the issues with the broadcast are in the truck. Did they lose some production staff when Mario/Rod left?

My guess is it was Sartori who leaked it, but I could be wrong. Menzin doesn't seem like the type who would do that and I've heard some things about Sartori's people skills that hew too closely to how I would react in that situation, which would be to leak that to a reporter.

The math Gibby was asking for ended up being 0.376 seconds. Carry on.

Did you accidentally mix up the 20 and 80? I could have sworn it was 80% Neto, but Avila/Chadd overruled.

The passive aggressive "The people won't stand for it" should be criminal.

This storm is now a tropical depression in the Atlantic, by the way.

Not even Eric Eckenstahler?

Yeah, the tactics really weren't intentional. I didn't anticipate 13 exceptions, and it started to be a fun "remember some guys" exercise.

The interesting thing to me on the Jung thing is how somebody had to leak that to Stavenhagen. I wonder who, and how that reveals communication/relationship breakdown within the front office. If there was an uprising, is that what finally woke up Illitch?

I never promised one. Who's insufferable?

Which by the way, prospect twitter is pretty much all influencers right now, so thank you for making my point for me.

I intended to reply thinking there were only a few but it admittedly got obnoxious when there were 13. I don't know why a discreet dm is warranted. Influencers don't like being exposed in public?

Tweeting a "fact" that no Tigers draft produced three players on the same roster at once when there are 13 counterpoints among the 21 drafts is pretty bad, no? Social media engagement first, facts later. Providing inaccurate content is doing a disservice.

Man, as a fan of Blough's alma mater, seeing him get replaced by the QB from the rival school in that era sucks.

Part of me wonders if Hessman is part of the problem, since he was around with the old regime.

Inside the base only matter if there is contact. He did not attempt nor feign attempt for second. Bad call.

Just had a twitter experience that reminded me why the current state of Tigers Prospect Twitter is so bad. How wrong do you think this is and how do you think he reacted when I fact checked.
