...and try to keep Jackson and Griffin healthy all season long.
Therein lies the rub. Griffin has been a good spark plug and playmaker for this team. The team is also playing inspired basketball under Coach Casey.

Re: Just how bad are the Lions?

I couldn't believe what happened just before the half ended. We had the ball with over two minutes left, plenty of time to get in position for a field goal just before halftime. What happens? We go a quick three-and-out, give up the ball, and the Rams get the half-ending field goal! :rolleyes Unbeli...

Re: Breaking: Nexstar reaches agreement to purchase Tribune

I've read the reported price of $4.1 billion for Tribune is an all-cash deal and that Nexstar has lined up bank financing. The amount is more than Nexstar's current market cap of $3.7 billion! Nexstar also currently has about $4.1 billion of long-term debt on its books which represents more than two...

Re: "Medical Grade Brace" Telephone Scam

Thank you both for confirming what I've always suspected. Still, these calls are coming incessantly during the day in spite of my defensive actions, and yes, they're leaving recorded messages on my voicemail. :horns Perhaps someone in the household including myself answered inadvertently at one time...

"Medical Grade Brace" Telephone Scam

I'm pestered daily by these calls, usually a recorded message telling me I'm eligible for a medical grade brace to alleviate my knee or back pain that's fully paid for by my insurance. I realize this is a scam phishing for my personal insurance information, but what I want to know is if I "press 2 t...

Re: Radio And the year you Graduated.

Like a couple people here I graduated high school in '73. It taxes my memory thinking that far back, but I recall my radio listening gravitating to WABX, WRIF, CJOM, and WDET. That latter entry introduced me to modern jazz, the avant-garde, and reinvigorated my love of classical.

Re: Just how bad are the Lions?

It is especially disheartening when the average Lions fan could manage games better than those getting paid the big bucks. BTW - you don't ever see these issues with the New England Patriots. They end up being the team I root for after Detroit is finished, and they know how to perfectly manage game...

Where Is Bill Vogel These Days?

Is he still running his Vogelsound studio in Northern Michigan? I swear I've heard his voice on national spots, but, y'know, how can one ever be certain it's him?

Re: Just how bad are the Lions?

I agree with bmw the 2 point attempt was a bad idea. I can sort of get it in the Maryland Ohio State game although even there I would played for another overtime. But in the NFL when you are supposedly the better team I think you play for the overtime. There's apparently some unwritten coaching rul...

Re: Just how bad are the Lions?

Wow, what is it about opposing kickers this year? And GOOD kickers. That's 5 clanks off the goal posts in 2 weeks, and a missed extra point that essentially cost Carolina the game. Let's not forget the inexplicable kicking meltdown of Green Bay's Mason Crosby earlier this season -- something out of...

And Kroger meat (steaks in particular) are heads and shoulder above either Meijer or Wal-Mart quality wise. A lot of the time I can find choice that is border line prime at Kroger.
You've noticed that, too, eh? I pounce on their ribeye specials!
