Well… the NFL’s official line is that we tried to confuse the cowboys and in turn confused Allen by reporting Skipper as eligible and not decker and if we are going to use gamesmanship like that we accept the consequences.

And we did that because we assumed the officials wouldn't throw a flag?

Put a 300 lb. Behemoth who can run and catch a football at the end of the line and imagine what's going through the minds of those pencil thin D-backs. Probably that they are glad its a 300 lbs tackle instead of a 250 lb tight end who can run faster, has more mobility, and has better hands than the...

And I am back to wondering, if the defense has to be informed of a lineman being a receiver, why bother to run the play? You have one less actual receiver as an option in exchange for some guy too fat and slow to be a tight end. The tackle-eligible is (usually) used in short yardage situations. He ...

I heard audio of the referee clearing saying #70 is an eligible receiver over his mic to the entire stadium. So the Lions share some blame for not correcting that error. And I am back to wondering, if the defense has to be informed of a lineman being a receiver, why bother to run the play? You have ...

The commissioner's office needs to require eligibility reports to be announced over the P.A. system moving forward so that a situation like this never happens again. Seems to me that ruins the play before the ball snaps. You are trying to catch the defense not paying attention to minutiae to make t...

I’d have preferred the 3 points..... ^^^ This . I am a firm believer in taking the 3 almost always in the first half. My exceptions are two. 1. you are inside the 1 yard line or 2. you are down by 3 touchdowns. I think it was beyond nuts to try for 2 at the end. Kick the one and take your chances i...

My wife had a brother who froze to death on a park bench in Grosse Pointe Shores in December of 2003.

Wasn't sure if it was a joke but I wouldn't have been totally shocked if AFC Ann Arbor actually outdrew the Pistons in actual attendance

Looks at TV sports reports, the sports articles that get most prominently displayed online by the various daily newspapers, and the content of 97.1's shows in general. The Wings are fourth among our city's four major league teams in terms of screen time, airtime, whatever. They are boring. Not nece...

Brian Chapman is proof that the primary "skill" to be a radio personality is the ability to shoot your mouth off without limit to avoid dead air.

The 97.1 afternoon clown show all but assured a Piston win last night.
Today they are all but assuring a Lions loss on Sunday.

Queue all the people bitching about you posting a paywalled article.... There is a difference between bitching and merely pointing out that one can't read the given article because they don't subscribe. Normally I would then say "have a miserable Christmas you fucking asshole" but instead I will ta...

State and Liberty wasn't a Target in 1991.

Correct but I didn't see him mention a date. So I guess he is lying.
