I’m predicting 75 wins for the Tigers. Too many injuries and they failed to land a big bat.

Is it really a shouting “match” if only one side is doing the shouting?

Musk doesn’t wear a suit in the White House.

Jokić is a beast.

I was so stunned to learn that Massachusetts once claimed Detroit that I forgot where I pahked my cah.

Buyer’s remorse? That’s what happens when you shop at FAFO Schwarz.

Kenta Maeda looked pretty good in his first spring training start. It’s one game, and just two innings, but if he wants a rotation spot, it’s a good first step

McLellan has run out of magic. The Red Wings got blown out in their last game before they 4NF break and choked away a 3-1 lead late against the Wild, and lost in OT. Don’t hold your breath for playoff tickets.

The Pistons are 30-26. The last time they had a winning record after 56 games was 2008.

Jalen Duren is a beast.

The game turned early in the second half when the refs waved off three straight Michigan baskets on questionable fouls. That threw them off and MSU took advantage of it, found a rhythm, and ran away with an easy road win.

The fact that Bregman turned down a seemingly competitive offer from the Tigers suggests to me that top free agents don’t want to play for them.

The Tigers might have been able to sign Bregman if they hadn’t wasted their money on an injured Alex Cobb and a minus defender in Gleyber Torres.

Racists are triggered.

Uncle Samuel

Is if we needed another reminder, the reason the Eagles are in the Super Bowl and the Lions aren’t is defense. Holmes and Campbell have one job this offseason: Build a defense that can shut down the likes of Mahomes, Allen, and Daniels.

STOP WITH THE FLYING FACIAL HAIR ALREADY!!

Terrific. I’ll be having Eugene Levy flying eyebrow nightmares now.

Didn’t take long for the refs to do KC a solid.

As far as I can tell, the Pistons made out pretty well in the Butler trade. When the dust settles, they’ll get a top-75 scorer, some help off the bench and a future pick. And it doesn’t look like they had to give up much.

Well, well, if it isn’t the consequences of your own actions coming back to bite you.

As you know, I don't believe the Lions will reach a Super Bowl. Call it a curse, whatever. But if one player can get them there--if they really are just one player away--for me, it's Myles Garrett.

I've seen a projected rotation of Skubal, Flaherty, Olson, Jobe, and Cobb. My only question is whether Cobb is healthy. They have some intriguing options. Montero showed flashes of brilliance last year. If he can be more consistent, he could be a regular.

Punxsutawney Phil has seen his shadow, signifying that the vernal equinox in the northern hemisphere will occur at 5:01 a.m. EDT on March 20.

Harry Kane is really using his head.

I trust Dan Campbell’s coaching hires.

I was not a Troy Weaver fan, but he does deserve some credit for the Pistons recent improvement. They’re winning mostly with guys he drafted. The difference? Trajan Langdon hired better coaches and signed better veterans who are showing the kids how to win.

The Pistons are 24-24. That’s their highest single-season win total since 2018-19, the last time they made the playoffs (41-41).

I am warming up to these Pistons.

So many dog whistles.

Trump blames air crash on nonwhite people.

This would not be a penalty if it were the Chiefs.

Super Bowl LIX is all set: Chiefs vs. Eagles. And to save you all time, no one is allowed to beat the Chiefs.

The Commanders closed the Lions’ Super Bowl window. The Eagles just boarded it up. Philly might win the next five NFC titles.

If the Lions had traded up two more spots, they could have drafted Quinyon Mitchell. Or they could have stayed put and picked Cooper DeJean.

Shawn Hochuli has advised the Commanders to get a goddam job before sundown or he’ll ship them off to military school with the goddam Finkelstein shit kid.

The Lions would not have beaten the Eagles.

Shawn Hochuli will turn this car around right now if these kids don’t stop horsing around in the back seat, dammit!

Shawn Hochuli has had enough.

This is Fox’s best NFL broadcast crew? They really have fallen a long way from Summerall and Madden.

I’m here mostly for the pint glass pics. I like to see where these breweries are, so I know where to go if I ever happen to be in that community (or, if it’s close enough, maybe it’s a day trip).

I hope Kelvin Sheppard teaches the Lions defense how to punch the football. Seems like every other team does it and it’s a very effective way to create turnovers. The Commanders and Bills did it to Detroit. I never felt like Glenn made it a priority.
