Davante Adams is the new Offensive Coordinator (don't bother looking I made that up)

Jim Harbaugh: Yeah! We stole another little kid's bike! Me: Can we play somebody ranked in the top 75 please? Jim Harbaugh : Rutgers is ranked #47 Me:

Raiders looked awful Monday night. Glad the Lions were the straw that broke the camel's back.

The games aren't interesting and when you're 8-0 and your toughest opponent was Rutgers, you haven't proven a damn thing. Plus they were caught cheating. Why in the fock you need to cheat to beat Mrs. Helbling's 3rd grade class, I have no idea, but it happens. This is my favorite team with what is billed as their best team in a long time but their games are boring and I just can't get into it. I'll tune in in a couple of weeks against Penn State.

It's a good sign, I don't see how/why Ukraine would accept those terms.

I know it seemed like a viable plan to me at the time. I hadn't seen this two year stalemate coming at all. I didn't realize Russia's military sucked ass so badly and apparently neither did Putin.

I love how you beat the sensor with "chicken shirt". Good stuff. When I'm lazy (95% of the time), I put in an asterisk: sh*t. When I'm feeling particularly motivated, I can beat it using a trick going in and out of italics: shit. But chicken shirt is pretty awesome.

Wordle 864 3/6 🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 LOL. What a second guess. I had no right to a birdie.

Look, my first reaction was the same as yours. Since they only have ~230 Israeli hostages, how can they have 500 Americans? It makes no sense. Then I remembered the Palestinian Americans stuck in Gaza. I'm not saying they're hostages, nor how many there are. But it seems pretty reasonable to assume there are at least 500 of them stuck there...

Let me be more clear and try this again... Early in the war, immediately after the invasion, you remember how we'd all heard about the Americans in Israel trying to get out? Well, maybe locally to the news in SE Michigan because of our situation, we have a bunch of Palestinian Americans in Gaza also trying to get out (I mention Dearborn because that is the heart of their community.) How many, I don't know. Anyway, supposing these Palestinians with US citizenship were taken hostage by Hamas -and I'm not claiming that they were- but that could conceivably be how the math could add up.

The only way the math works is if >80% of the US citizens being held are residents of Dearborn, Michigan and were already in Gaza three weeks ago visiting family.

No, that doesn't matter. In Colorado, the Democratic party executive committee gets to filter through the options and pre-select which candidates you are allowed to vote for.

Rodgers has been talking all along of how he expects to come back later in the season. If somehow the Jets limp along, stringing together enough Ws along the way to make the playoffs,, look out.

Glad that's over, left way too many points on the field.

This thread ought to make an easy place to start.

Oh, Dear Lordy.

Congrats... although I''d prefer it had not happened.

Now that you pointed it out, I hear it every time.

That's for the field position, Raiders.

I don't know that wearing gray against the raiders is a good choice.

Long FG drive to start the game which is good since some key players are missing. Then a good stop after one 1st down for the D. Despite all the injuries, the Lions had been in the habit of beating teams by 14 until the Baltimore debacle, hopefully they get back on that track.

If that's the going price for players this year, I'd as soon the Lions sit pat.

Lions sports talk radio had a hilarious bit on today. They had the music to Creed's "Higher" but the lyrics were "Can you get me Saquon? Can you get me Pat Surtain?" Ah, maybe you had to be there.

Taking out Miami was impressive. These next five weeks or so for Philly will be quite a brawl.
