Rock 'N' Roller. Poli-Geek. News-Nerd. Lifelong Lions fan. Played football, boxed, wrestled, and put the shot. An avid bicyclist who likes to hit his gym. Frustrated writer and actor. Once an on-air talent programming metal and alternative. Love The Blues.
Okay. One more thing before shoving off for the game.

We're looking at one-and-done these remaining three games.

Lions, don't get caught up staring into that void.

Play your game. Your best game.

My team. Always.

GO LIONS!

Slays me when I hear mainstream news or legacy media refer to Maduro's regime as "authoritarian" and do so without so much as an ironic slip when bringing up TFG in that same breath.

The only difference between TFG and Maduro (or any other dictator) is the contrarian dynamics of American politics.

I think there's a combination of things that happened this season that contributed to our unevenness and inconsistencies.

So, we're in a hole where we need to win out our remaining games and then hope some arcane math helps us to advance beyond the regular season.

GO LIONS! NO BRAKES. ALL GRIT.

You don't have to wade into the tall grass to know TFG and his flunkies are tanking our democracy.

It doesn't require analyzing all the moving parts or understanding all the minutiae.

Just a respectable grasp of objective truths to know there isn't a treacherous cliff from which MAGA won't leap.

I'm not shocked, but it's still confusing how anyone could continue to support the orange man-baby after last night's dumpster fire of a prime-time address. TFG was so manic I thought he was going to angry fuck the lectern. Please, America, get an IQ and grow a spine before things (really) worsen.

I dislike TFG. On "a thousand burning suns" level.

And there is no doubt earlier tonight his is the worst presidential prime time address ever. Ever.

Not just the false claims, straight up lies, and schoolyard bully bullshit.

But as well the myopic speechifying and his lectern humping grip.

An ignorant, petty, vengeful, impulsive bully of a CIC with an antisocial personality disorder and a predisposition for criminality...

Really, what could possibly go wrong?

And he's been in the White House for barely eleven months with three years and change remaining...

Sure. No worries.

The disconnect between civility and decency and TFG and his ass-licking sycophants is immeasurable. Any who'd support or defend that narcissistic sociopath's derision of Rob Reiner and the terrible murder of he and his wife deserves rebuke and contempt... It's some obscenely unforgivable bullshit.

In the aftermath of a Perry, IA mass shooting that resulted in the murder of a sixth grader and a high school staff person and injury to six others, TFG said at a rally, "That’s just horrible, so surprising to see it here, but we have to get over it. We have to move forward."

What a sick fuckhole.

TFG loves his dictators and authoritarians. He's a wannabe.

He's corrupt and unhinged.

He doesn't know fuck all about history, geography, world culture, international law...

And he launched an absolutely unnecessary tariff war.

Its everything you need to know that you might be alone in this.

The only "anti-American" sentiments I see are coming directly from TFG and his subvert-the-Constitution/democracy hating/revisionist history goons. I believe not so much as one of these ignorant-ass MFers inside TFG's administration loves this country, unconditionally, objectively, flaws and all.

1/ A Putin asset, TFG is intent upon a betrayal of Ukraine and more, democracy writ large, a free, unfettered Western Europe, and a stable, deterrent capable NATO.

Ukraine deserves the opportunity and ability to determine its own destiny and to have all of its Russian-occupied territory returned.

Intriguing take, but as someone who programmed several hours of aggressive music each week for nearly 20 years, from the earliest days of thrash through every permutation and variant of "metal", maybe overthought. Reduced to a simpler state, its non-conformity and rebellion at their brutish loudest.

1/ I know people who voted for TFG. Maybe just the one time in 2016, but others in both the '20 and '24 elections. Some of these people are loved ones and others much-valued relationships. Some are good acquaintances or just people I know. But I have to compartmentalize and more carefully choose

1/ Culture. Standards. Expectations. Combined, it all can be a path to a division championship, playoffs, and perhaps a Super Bowl appearance. I know this is the hope in Detroit and certainly it has felt a distinct possibility in recent seasons. For the organization and for long suffering fans.
