I will always remember that whenever the camera showed Fontes on the sideline, he always, *always* looked like his dog just died.  So I think that makes him the Lionsest coach of all.

Just about anybody who’s been touring regularly for 15+ years is either pretty professional, or at least knows how to throw fits that don’t derail their show.

Gatorade/Powerade/etc. is easily the best thing to barf.  Not significantly different than drinking it.

You cited ESPN’s “Misery Index”, and I think your methodology is a nice distinction from theirs - they are looking for the franchises that cause fans the most pain, you’re looking for the franchise that gives them the least hope.  Maybe declare the Lions the “Most Hopeless” team?

And I’m suggesting he has merely reversed that hypocritical double standard.

There are much, much better ways to phrase this. Saying it was an inevitable outcome given how the US has intervened in the middle east is a lot different than implying that the 3,000ish people who died on 9/11 “deserved it”.  I wonder if he’d say that Imperial Japan “deserved” Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Hoffman’s said his annoyance was genuine, and he had to catch himself from saying “Hey, I’m acting here!”

They had a random TV talking head in as a referee in a preseason game a few years ago.  They gave him a day or two of training, sure, but the fact that they did it at all tells you that nobody involved in these preseason games has give na damn for awhile.

-1 - you announced your name and intention to speak, but failed to inform us what you appreciate “in a major way”.

Taco Bell doesn’t really get meaningfully spicy until the “Diablo” sauce; their “Volcano” items have some nontrivial heat too. As for the rest of it...I’m going to guess that you still finished that burrito and whatever you hit with Fire sauce. For someone who can’t handle even that modest level of heat, it would have…

Place is Bennett’s. They left their downtown location in 2007, but are apparently still doing “Smut & Eggs” to this day.

“Finding a good kicker is just as hard as finding a good Quarterback”

You don’t? It’s simple - animals have no agency. You can project whatever you want on them, and you never have to worry that they’ll contradict you or disappoint you. Treating people properly requires you respect their autonomy, and allow them to do things you may not want them to do - animals don’t have that issue.

I get the feeling that the real money left dog racing a decade (or more) ago, and that the people who’ve stayed on since are the ones who love the sport and love the dogs. I bet Kelly’s numbers and sense of business practices is an accurate picture of how things *were*, but not anymore.

I want to know what person had some tomato juice and said “You know what this needs?  Clam water!”

It tastes like barely anything.  If LaCroix made a “beer” flavor, it would be this.

I do think it’s somewhat unfortunate that this ad was for the weakest of the American macrobrews.  (I say this with the authority of someone who hates beer, but doesn’t mind Coors Light.)

It may not be how it’s supposed to be used...but untethered and floating free is how they advertised it.

The videos, though, are surprisingly wildlife-focused.

...depending on the ending you got.  And the sequels (obviously) rendered that ending non-canon.
