Wiseman - 2 pts, 5 boards, and 4 fouls in 15 minutes of action. Why is he still here?

Last night against Phoenix, Wiseman not only fouled out, but had an incredible -28 in +/- in only 12 minutes of play!

The Chiefs are a dynasty I wonder if they will 3 peat as it has never been done in the NFL ever....

I know of a local team who's plan is to make sure it will never be done...at least anytime soon.

I looked at the logs for the game and didn’t see much. We had a Jay’s,, Ebels and I think Williams Chevy spot. Oh, our new stupid streaming channel made an appearance. I guess Williams Chevy is still saturating the airwaves. I remember when Jay's was operating out of what must've been a refabbed mu...

The venerable Aussie band The Church released a marvelous album of covers back in '99 titled A Box of Birds . Standout numbers for me were their renditions of The Beatles' "It's All Too Much" and Neil Young's classic "Cortez the Killer" which rivaled the originals in complexity and intensity respect...

No mention of the Niners going for it on fourth down inside the twenty...and making it? They could've just kicked the FG, but nooo. Loved it. Same with KC in OT. When the Chiefs went for it on fourth down in overtime, they were on their own 34-yard-line. They NEEDED to go for it at that point; it w...

The RFK, Jr. campaign commercial was bizarre.

Sort of a throwback to the JFK campaign in 1960 -- it certainly got my attention. What really threw me for a loop was the "Vote Independent" message, not something one usually associates with the Kennedy family.

I'm outside the market, were there any prominent local advertisers during the Super Bowl telecast, including pre-game?

The Tigers may have enough to contend in a weak division. Greene has to stay healthy and the rookies have to prove their worth. Tork and Carpenter have to come through in the clutch, something the former had some trouble with last season.

No mention of the Niners going for it on fourth down inside the twenty...and making it? :hat They could've just kicked the FG, but nooo. Loved it. Same with KC in OT. It's all about execution. Still, there were TWO record-breaking FGs in this game! And a blocked extra point...there are no gimmes. I ...

If you haven't seen Stop Making Sense, make plans.

I can wholeheartedly agree with this statement.

Ditto!

Campbell didn't drop the pass on fourth down right in his hands. Campbell didn't fumble on his own 25. Campbell didn't have a ball somehow bounce off his face mask directly to a Niner. I didn't like the coaching calls, especially eschewing the 2nd fg, but that's what Campbell. The players let him d...

And the Pistons have won 2 in a row coming back from 23 down to beat Mr. Big Shot Billups Blazers 128-122....

Damn, I turned it off when they were down by 20! Great comeback, especially so shorthanded. Apparently, so were the Blazers.

I'm gonna need a scorecard.

I'm also gonna have to learn how to spell Fontecchio and those other Euros we got earlier.

Apparently Grimes, a young former first-rounder, was the crux of the Bojan/Burks deal. I would hope they have more advanced plans for him than riding the end of the bench.

As it stands right now, the Tigers may end up with a six-man starting rotation once the season gets going in earnest. However, I'm counting on the usual spring training arm injury(ies).

Nick Maton was traded to Baltimore for cash.

He should end up in AAA after hitting .173 last season.

I'll start a new topic "Detroit Tigers 2024".

Maton had his chances here; the Orioles lineup will be even tougher to crack. Yep, AAA depth.
