  1. 50 years of doing games. I remember listening to him on the radio when I was a teenager. And I'm a senior citizen...
  2. Good analysis. Brad will be working the next couple of weeks to fill the roster. Getting young is a good idea...young guys heal faster. /s
  3. What's his cap hit. The money may be better used elsewhere.
  4. Sasser has a nice smooth shot but he appears kinda undersized?
  5. 9 years will cause the Wings to lose a lot of fans. An entire generation of kids never even saw them in the playoffs, let alone challenge for The Cup.
  6. Major power outage. I'll be watching the game on my phone tonight. Thank goodness for cellular!! And my car charger!! 😆😆
  7. Because our defense was bad and cost us games. You want to bring back a bad defense? Muhammad may have had a nice number of sacks but was way too inconsistent. We need upgrades, not the same old same old.
  8. IDK....Meadows has never been a real consistent hitter but his defense and speed is really hard to match. Is his spring slow start just a slump that most every hitter goes thru at times? I say start him in Detroit and wait out his slump. If it continues thru April, make a change. But the Tigers are a better team with Meadows on it. He just needs to hit .225 to .250.
  9. I remember the Wings never seeming to make those playoffs when 16 teams made it. The Darkness with Harkness years. But I think our current drought of 9 years is even longer...
  10. Further; the Lions were ranked 22nd in points allowed last year; https://www.foxsports.com/nfl/detroit-lions-team-summary-stats?category=defense&season=2025&sort=def_pts_a&sortOrder=asc And we were the 5th highest scoring offense; https://www.statmuse.com/nfl/ask/2025-nfl-offensive-ranking-rankings So yes, we need to overhaul our defense. And I'm sure the Lions brass knows all of this. Discard the old players as well as the ineffective players. Pass rush needs consistent pressure, players who show up every game. Strong consistent pressure makes the secondary stronger.
  11. Restructure all the big contracts and bring in Maxx for one season. Put all the chips in the middle of the table. So what if we have to release or trade Gibbs, Goff and St. Brown in 2027? Go for a Super Bowl in 2026 and don't worry about the future. Or...don't. 😆
  12. People keep saying we had a bad offense but we were a top offensive team in points scored. I say it was mostly our defense that let us down. Yes, the OL wasn't as strong as in previous years but scoring wasn't the problem.
  13. On March 12th, we're scheduled to pick 17th. Would it surprise any of us if Brad moved up and snagged a monster edge rusher? Or if he made a deal with one, or even a trade? Holmes knows our needs and I'm sure he has a gameplan. I refuse to panic, yet. Sometimes patience is hard but free agency just started and the draft is over a month away.
  14. I'm confident Brad knows exactly what this team needs. For all we know, he has deals set up to move up in the draft and have 2 of those positions covered. Don't fall asleep on what he can get done, if he lets players walk at what appears to be a small contract, he probably has an ace up his sleeve. Like I said, the season is several months away. If training camp started next week, I would be pretty concerned. But let Brad cook...
  15. LeVert being out may help the Pistons.
  16. What is it, 5 months until the season starts? A lot can happen by then, this week has been a good start building up our needs...
  17. How about...DonOld? 😅😅
  18. We now have a corner, a center and a RB2. Chef Brad....cooking. Draft an edge rusher, more OL help and more secondary help. And possibly a tight end?
  19. The Donald was on the TV today and he actually came right out and said any terrorist attacks that may happen are the fault of Joe Biden's open borders. I guess we're all supposed to forget that Trump had his MAGA cronies squash a bipartisan border bill. And when a terrorist attack happens, an FBI investigation will say they came into our country before Trump took office. The memo is probably already written in anticipation.
  20. You realize that you're probably on a "list" somewhere, right? 😆😆
  21. We have an idiot as POTUS who appointed totally unqualified morons to be in charge of every important and critical department in our country. Then the idiot starts a war with the most dangerous terrorist country in the world. This disaster writes itself.
  22. The Bears had an offer for Crosby before the Raiders accepted the Ravens offer?
