He is indeed referred to on the local sports-talk station as ‘Ant-Man’, though Tyler Bertuzzi would be my pick for ‘The Wasp’.  Dylan Larkin would be an as-yet unnamed Avenger; maybe Sam Wilson’s turn as Captain America?

The Rock is going to be there... now THAT’s something to watch. 

25 or so teams should get in on the bidding war for his services.

There is a certain logical through-line in the Ford approach to both making cars and owning a football team: the most money for the least effort. The company knew the transmissions were a problem, just saw that correcting the problem would be more expensive than dealing with the lawsuits so that’s what they did. It’s…

Emmitt Smith always seems to come up in these comparisons, and it’s really unfair to both players. Smith is a Hall of Fame level running back, with the toughness, durability, and rings to prove it. We can talk about hypotheticals all we want- what if Emmitt played with Detroit’s O-line? What if Barry didn’t play with…

KD probably has a stress fracture or severe high ankle sprain and that’s why he isn’t able to play. The team can’t tell anyone, not even their own players, because if it gets out they’d be destroyed for putting him at risk. I’m sure it’ll come out one way or another when the series is over and people will be like,…

Holy shit, Beavis is in control of an NFL franchise.  Of course his first words were ‘Fire! Fire!’

Astonishingly, I’m also on Bret’s side here, mainly because Samer’s approaches were so puerile. “You suck, give your money to x” I mean, come on, man! You’re intelligent, even if you do not respect the person you’re trolling, at least give a good account of yourself. Lead with the substantive nature of your criticism.

Given that Brady Hoke (you know, the guy who didn’t wear a headset because he wanted to focus on his players on the field) was the same coach who put Shane Morris in after he was obviously concussed, I’m surprised he didn’t play him every snap as punishment. God, what a tool. #ThisisMichiganferGodssakes…

Tell Caillou over there to pipe the fuck down, we’re trying to enjoy the weekend.

The only thing Louis CK would ever do vis a vis ‘addressing’ the issue is to put out a blanket denial; otherwise he’d be exposing himself to prosecution. If the rumors are more than that, let one or more of the women affected go to the police and file a report.

Agreed. He’s expanded his repertoire (springboard stunner, etc.) and he has put over a lot of the up-and-coming talent lately (KO, AJ, Nakamura) in really good matches. He draws, sells merch, and seems to be a genuinely good guy. Plus, he and Miz roasted each other but good. He’s firmly off my hate list.

I HOPE McGregor goes after his history of violence against women next. He might yet bait Mayweather into dropping the game plan and just trying to kill CM. “I’m not a woman, Floyd, and I hit back- hard.”

On sports talk radio in Detroit, they are saying a combination of theory 2 and 4. Mrazek was being a little beeyotch about getting benched in favor of Howard, AND they wanted to dangle him to protect Riley Sheahan especially (Ouellet would be the guy I’d be trying to protect in that case though). The general feeling…

Let me add to the pessimism. The Tigers are just ok defensively up the middle per the stats, which is puzzling because Iglesias is known for some wizardry with the glove and Kinsler has always been solid (center field, who knows?). I’m cautiously optimistic that the bullpen will fare better than the past few years,…

Both the Miz and Cena were unsparingly brutal to each other- and they each told the truth about what the other’s shortcomings were/perceived to be. This could be a shoot match all the way around. I didn’t even want to see this match- now it’s in my top 3 for anticipation. It’s a nothing feud that they built into…

I work at UM and the hosting guidelines are very similar to what you’ve described. Athletics probably has a few ‘VIP staff’ exceptions for Harbs and John Beilein but the U as a whole is kind of uptight about expenses, as they should be.

ETP is the company building the pipeline, and Sunoco will be the company whose oil is shipped using it. They are separate companies, FWIW.

I hate you most for being so, so right. I’m sure talk radio will find that ONE bastard who is somehow capable of dialing the proper sequence of 10 digits to spew that particular hawt taek.

First thing I thought of:
