Re: Detroit Lions 2023

The Bears fortified their defensive line, acquiring Montez Sweat from Washington for a second-round pick. The Bears need a lot more help than that, but that's a good add for them.

Tom Emmer or Mike Johnson will be the next Speaker of the House.
It won't be Emmer, whose nomination lasted all of about three hours. One mean "RINO" tweet from El Trumpo and Emmer backed out.

Re: Matt Gaetz and 7 other Republicans work with Democrats to remove McCarthy

I'm no political junky, far from it. But from a little googling Kevin McCarthy seems to score pretty moderate for a republican. Somebody tell me who pays attention what do the Democrat's hope to gain by throwing him out? A democrat speaker? That doesn't seem likely. A more "liberal" republican? Tha...

Re: Matt Shepard Out After Five as Bally Sports Tigers' PBP...

My bad, I didn't know he parted ways with the Red Sox. His X/Twitter caption still reads "Angels -> Tigers -> Red Sox," so I (wrongly) assumed he was still there.

In that case, it should be real easy to bring him back, assuming he would want to. Make it so, Bally, make it so!

Re: Matt Shepard Out After Five as Bally Sports Tigers' PBP...

I'd be fine with Dickerson on TV and Impemba on the radio. More likely, Dickerson moves to TV and a play by play man from one of the Tigers' farm teams gets promoted to fill Dan's current job. As pointed out by Evan Woodbery on mlive.com, Dickerson is an employee of the Tigers, while Shepard worked...

Re: Detroit Tigers 2023

I have to admit that I'm feeling very happy today that it's finally the last day of Miguel Cabrera's player contract with the Tigers. Many people have been waiting for this day for years. I won't try to take anything away from the people who are celebrating the end of Cabrera's career for other rea...

Re: The 1968 Tigers - losing our heroes

I thought that Don Wert died quite a few years ago also. He must still be alive, at least as of two weeks ago. His birthday is July 29, 1938, and his hometown paper in Lancaster, Pennsylvania published an item in its sports section that day noting that he was turning 85 years old. https://lancaster...
