Fake news. Yet another reason in my long and lenghtening list of reasons not to do Facebook.

Tiger fan here. In 2003, Detroit lost 119 games (true confession: I grew up watching the 1962 Mets; despite living in Greater Detroit, I hoped that they’d lose 121+: if you’re going watch a bad team, root for it to make history).

Last year, the governor of Virginia pardoned 13,000 ex-felons. Virginia is one of three states that impose a lifetime voting disqualification on convicted felons.

At our reception, my wife and I horrified our families by (a) not having her introduced as “the new Mrs. [redacted]” and (b) eschewing our first dance in favor of a rendition of our undergraduate college fight song.

Fortunately, we got married in the early 1980s before YouTube and choreographed dances. I dance worse than I sing, and my singing voice is bad enough to get me kicked out of every karaoke bar from Bar Harbor to Burbank.

Fortunately for McCovey, he was sentenced to probation and didn’t have to serve a stretch in prison.

It relieves the offender from further consequences of his or her conviction (e.g., loss of the right to vote or hold public office). However, a pardon does not do away with the fact that a court found that person guilty of a crime.

Your screen name, by itself, is star-worthy.

Noon? Here in Michigan, bars can open at 7 am on Sunday.

Jesus. I’m 65 years old, and for the past 40 years the last two minutes of NBA games have lasted an eternity. Don’t blame millennials.

Someone on Kinja files stories like this to “Life’s Rich Pageant”. Madeleine ought to add that tag.

I recommend Dave Zirin’s book Brazil’s Dance with the Devil, which details the epic level of corruption associated with the 2014 World Cup and 2016 Olympics.

That said, it will be fun as shit when a debutante team like Uganda or Panama inevitably takes down an establishment powerhouse.

The Lions will still lose in the first round.

It was either play Connor Cook or throw in the towel.

Rutgers should hand out joints to ticket-holders at football games. It would ease the pain of watching the Scarlet Knights play.

A couple of my classmates went to the first Ali-Frazier fight, which was shown on closed circuit TV at the university’s basketball arena. They said that most of the students rooted for Ali, but nearly all of the townies rooted for Frazier.

Section 2855 is familarly known as the de Havilland Law, named after the actress. She sued Warner Bros. over the meaning of “seven years”. Warner argued that the clock didn’t run when De Havilland was under suspension for refusing parts she considered unsuitable. A California appellate court found for De Havilland,…

Delta is pretty much the only gane in town in Detroit.

Detroiter here. I’m glad that the Lions remain the sole members of the 0-16 club. If you’re going to be awful, you might as well be historically awful.
