I agree...another billionaire company reaching into our pockets to extract a bit more out of us. But I look at it like this, it doesnt really matter, in my case. I'm going to cancel FanDuel in mid-April so that $20 will go from them to this new streaming service. And that MLB app works much, much better than that clunky FanDuel app. So it's just a switch of services. There will be a one month overlap so I can catch the end of the Piston season and I'll miss the Wings next fall but hope to catch them on some regular TV. The Pistons are still my concern, no way will FanDuel only carry them.

I just filled up in metro Detroit. $2.87 per gallon.

And a solid team defensive effort

Every game, LaVert hurts this team. Why is he even in the rotation?

I found some info on Peacock and sporting events. I hadn't even heard of this. Thanks for the heads up! https://www.sportsmediawatch.com/2025/10/peacock-youtube-tv-nfl-excluded/

The media loves war. CNN has 24 hour coverage of the middle east. Not even a whisper of the Epstein files. Trump's distraction seems to have worked. You're right, I wouldn't put anything past this corrupt administration. There were actually bets on when the US would attack Iran? That's just too easy for the liars and cheaters....grifters gonna grift.

The Bond villian-one-eyebrow raising effect...I love it...

NBA wasn't. When the Pistons were on Peacock, they were also on FanDuel. Peacock is a subscription channel, I searched for it and it's not in the line-up. Do you say it will be broadcasting baseball without a subscription? That would be cool...

The annual price for this new service isn't a very good deal for baseball fans who don't care about hockey. The regular Tiger season goes from April thru September. 6 months. At $20 per...it's $120. (Actually, the season starts in March but the 1st payment is April 1st.)

Lol...I would have to pay for it if I wanted it. I get NBC but not Peacock.

Lmao

So where will the Pistons end up? No way will FanDuel stay afloat with only them. It looks like I'll sacrifice the Wings regular season games and just buy 6 months of this new streaming service. April thru September for the Tigers and then switch to where ever the Pistons end up. The Wings will be on national TV for the playoffs, I hope. And if they dont even make the playoffs (again), it won't even matter. Missing a season of bottom feeding hockey won't upset me.

So I have to pay another service...Peacock...Apple TV....Fanduel Sports (for Wings and Pistons) and now another streaming service. On top of Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu and YouTube TV. And MLB TV. The limit and patience has been reached. These billionaires keep figuring out ways to separate people from their money. <rant over>

OK...I'm confusrd. I have an MLB subscription and live in the Detroit market. Will I be able to watch the Tigers live with that app or do I need to pay for even more streaming services? This really is getting ridiculous.

TBH, I was only expecting a 5th round pick for him. This was a very good deal. And I feel good for Montgomery, he should always be a fan favorite. I can see people being upset, he was a real team player and a very important part of the team. But to think we didn’t get enough is silly, just people with an opinion who know nothing about football.

Scruggs is a center. Do we draft a bruising RB to take Montgomery's place? This was a much bigger haul than I thought. Scruggs is a 3 year pro, 26 years old.

ESPN says the Lions got OL Juice Scruggs, a 4th and 7th round picks. A huge haul!!

Montgomery traded to Houston.

Ship him off to the Raiders or another bottom feeder AFC team. Hope to get a 5th or 6th round pick for him. The Lions sure seem to go thru running backs. Moving on from them when they still seem to have shelf life remaining. J. Wlliams and Swift come to mind. And now possibly Montgomery.

Montgomery would be a very expensive backup to Gibbs. Having a quality back like him to spell Gibbs or in case of injury is great but it's not fair to him. We'll draft a running back to backup Gibbs and use that cap space in other areas. Probably on the OL, maybe a center?

And I need to find a new tax service. The lady told me my return amount and I was kinda shocked how large it is. When I said so, she said it was "Thanks to Trump." It turns out, she's MAGA. Yeah, I need to find a new tax service next year....🤣🤣

Total asswipe;

Duren is a force on the boards and is a top defender but his ball handling is a turnover waiting to happen.

Yeah, I get that. I didn't trust Iran to lie and cheat though. If watchdogs aren't allowed to.....watch, would they cheat? I would say the answer is yes. We needed a negotiation, not a bombing. But Trump knows, or thinks, a war would help the GOP in the midterms as well as deflect from the Epstein files . He's sadly mistaken, the bombing will only bring out the vote against the warmongers.
