I’m kind of an asshole on this one — I don’t think it is actually all that close. And I take it a step further — I think Lidstrom is a better player than Howe.

Breakfast rules, that’s all there is to it.

From Michigan, watching the greatest living player in Red Wings history...

As a Lions fan, this game actually made me feel good. Seeing the Lions so utterly brutalized really took me back to that familiar feeling of my formative sports fandom days, when every Lions game was like this. It just *feels right* for the Lions to be so thoroughly dispatched. It feels like I’m home again. May Matt…

Any truth to the legend that law enforcement can compel you to unlock a device secured by fingerprint, but cannot compel you to unlock one protected by password/pin/pattern?

There’ve been rumors about these two hating each other for a long time now, and they kicked into high gear when FSD made the change a small handful of years back to have Gibson do some of the games instead of Allen.

I think baseball would be more fun if each team was given a “free cheat” in each game. Whatever you want as long as it isn’t like, intent to injure. You get caught, you can use your free cheat, then it’s gone, don’t get caught again. Let’s get pine tar and all kinds a crazy shit for scuffing up the baseball.

You guys should protest the right way, by uh [checks notes]

This was great, thanks.

Albert, this post was in “just finished shoveling snow from my long-ass driveway” form. And it’s August. Can’t wait to see what you do in January.

Huge props to the producer who decided — correctly — to just embrace this kid being a total badass, and giving him the full treatment of cutting to the corner camera for the big celebration.

This is such a big problem, in my anecdotal experience. I am in Michigan, and I think it is safe to say Michigan is one of the best craft scenes in the world. So nowadays, it’s more rare to find a shop that only sells watery domestics than it is to find a place with a moderate selection of respectable brews.

They'll probably beat ND and State is a toss-up with what we know about the teams today. They pretty much need OSU to implode in scandal to have a shot there. And it's Michigan -- they'll shart themselves somewhere along the way. I fully expect the norm for them to be hollow 10 win seasons, just as Bo and Lloyd…

I know it isn’t a new tack for major college football programs, but this “oh let’s suspend him conveniently for three games in which it won’t even matter” thing is just insulting. They might as well not even suspend him, at least that has the decency of being somewhat honest by sending the message, “You know what? You…

Serious answer that all progressives/leftists, or even just anyone that is sick of the culture of impunity for the upper class should care about — these two cases are things coming of themselves. They don’t need to lead to anything else to be inherently good.

When he does that, it looks like a kid on the playground -- got real mad, booted the ball as hard as he could at the opponent to try to hurt ‘em.

Poise.

I got through 2 minutes of the video, which I think is pretty good. Then I just got too sad seeing each (admittedly dope!) dribble end with either an attempted through ball hit with the touch of a goalkeeper’s clearance, or a way-too-late cross swatted in as a last-ditch effort to avoid dribbling the clock away by the…

Where do the expectations come from, though?

I can only speak to the recent local primaries in my neck of the woods, but my feeling is that the huge increase in midterm primary voting on the Dem side of the ballot is due to progressives that voted for actual progressive candidates.
