is there a World Class award for having the most intricate and complicated interchange ever built? because I’d accept that as an answer for why this has taken so long but that’s it and barely

if the state of Michigan insists on keeping the 75-96 interchange under construction for another full decade or however long this project has taken I’ll be forced to simply never go north of Brighton again.

someone should write a song about what happens when you turn 35 and lose all touch with young people overnight without realizing it — or an entire record

Kurt Cobain experienced this when he was no longer poor, homeless and a whiny teen. Taylor Swift experienced this when she was no longer spoiled, rich and out of tou — hang on

who could’ve ever thought Taylor Swift finding happiness in her romantic life would lead to the destruction of her ability to write a non cringe song

buddy there is not a generational talent in professional sports who simply just wants to win more than Connor McDavid

any other player in any other league in his situation would never do this in a million years

The Athletic @theathletic.com · 3d

Months of speculation and intrigue surrounding Connor McDavid's future ended in a shocking phone call — and an unprecedented discount for the Oilers.

Terrion has joined Sam LaPorta in the "my bones are made of adamantium" portion of the Lions' locker room

Mina Kimes @minakimes.bsky.social · 3d

Schefter is reporting that the Terrion Arnold injury isn’t a season ender and he could return in weeks. That’s a big development for a Lions defense that’s been playing really well, but couldn’t afford to lose him.

Yeah Decker is an all time football guy — one of the greats

Nick Baumgardner @nickbaumgardner.bsky.social · 4d

the mental part will be the biggest thing -- every problem area of his game right now is fixable ... just a matter if he's able to execute those fixes

he wants to be good -- this was a bad game, but he fought his ass off all the way and did have a few positive moments ... so, not giving up yet
