Chicago realtor by day and many nights, mostly here to chuckle at witty jokes & memes, a main course of sports to support my Detroit roots. Like a side of politics, never as the main course....prefer to disagree without being disagreeable.
Hey Lion's fans, Tyler Dunne is a great read with his in depth articles and this is a great one (among many of his) on AQM on the eve of tonight's Monday night game vs. Tampa Bay. Read it and hopefully enjoy a great AQM play later tonight even more....
“You fucked up. I know you really know now.”
Al-Quadin Muhammad had a pointed message for one GM who gave up on him… amongst many other things to say.

Can't get called up from the PS and get a penalty on ST, not smart by Rice on that KO. Have the Bears down, keep them there.

"When I'm President I can let you know in advance when I'll announce bigly tariffs, see, then you set up options & shorts before hand, market drops...then tell you right before I will take most of them off, we'll clean up!"
"That's insider trading and illegal sir"
"Not when the President does it."

I wrote this 6 days ago....and still wondering who Trump told to short everything to just call off a lot (but not all) tariff bat shit crazy stuff. Guess I have less then 90 days to brush up on options trading and how to short stock. Wonder if there is a Signal chat with all the inside info?
Always wondered if Trump tells his family and others in private he is about to do some bat shit crash the market stuff so they can trade on it....then a week later will pull it back...then rinse and repeat.

Love my Lions but feel I'm watching the movie "The Replacements" with the guys Detroit is playing with on defense.

Regardless this is a really fucking good and fun game, ups and downs, what football should be......win or lose, fight and apply pressure on the other team...

Lion's played a good 1st half, O had good time of possession and scored at end of half. Still 30 minutes to go and hope O can keep scoring to take pressure off D and get the win but D is thin with players out. 30 minutes, 10 pts. up, drag them to the deep water and drown them in time of possession.

Started a Lions Twitter List off this for people who want to dedicate a feed to GameDay etc.
Will add some Lions community posters later for more of a fan experience tho, it won't be just beat writers in the end.

I've been a Detroit Lions fan since 1980, plenty of ups & mostly downs. What I like most about this team & franchise now is top to bottom capable people working hard to win games, straight shooting coaching staff & players, no b.s. tolerated.
Also first year ever I haven't looked at a mock draft...

Created this awhile back when you had to wait to be invited, figured eventually Elonia would F-up Twitter....seems the bell is finally ringing on that. Hope to be here and Threads more often. Key is wanting fun engagement during live sports, like a Lions game or Sunday Night Football, College, etc..
