If there’s one thing Detroit fans will support, it’s dog shit product. #Lions

Sucking a drone into your engine may not result in injury, but it does cause a lot of rather expensive repairs to the turbine blades. If it passes out through the bypass section your looking at replacing several blades and possibly some stator sections. Normally you replace the damaged blade and the one on the disk…

Russia could have a tug boat tow the rocket to within 500 yards, no doubt. China could buy a tug boat from Russia with the promise of turning it into a floating casino and then use it to tow a rocket to within 350 yards so long as Russia will sell China an engine for their new knockoff tugboat.

One of things I'm forever greatful to him is the $2m he donated to the UofM women's and children's hospital where my son was born prematurely. He got great care there and to top it off Woodson won his Super Bowl ring a few weeks later.

Impossible? It took me maybe 10-15 tries. There’s confetti.
