The fact that I actually plunked down for a full year of FanDuel has me wondering if I should start making targeted political cotributions.

I wonder how much dovetailing is going on with this, Tarik Skubal's future in Detroit or lack thereof, and the news that Jason Bennetti is on NBC's shortlist for national broadcasts.

Also, reminder that the Red Wings & Tigers share a media deal, if Main Street/FanDuel craters, it affects the Wings.
Next season’s television income for nine MLB teams — close to one-third of the league — is up in the air.

FanDuel is trying to renegotiate its payments and teams could wind up with less money than they expected, or with a new broadcast partner, or both.

Lions Offensive Coordinator Mike McDaniel...
NEWS: The Lions are parting ways with OC Johnny Morton, per source.

After coming in to replace Ben Johnson, Detroit moves on after just one season from the veteran assistant.

The Good Place. Nice concept to start a series with, nice swerve, well wrapped up.

Not the best meal you've ever eaten in your life, but a good main course with a nice dessert.

That's not a compliment.
Do you have a historical figure you most wish got to be a poster? I feel like you must have a better answer than mine, which is Churchill. The guy started autobiography when he was 19 I think. And just never stopped. True poster.

Apparently ownership found out that he bought Lamar and a couple other players a cheeseburger and refused to produce receipts when asked.
BREAKING: The Ravens have fired head coach John Harbaugh, per source.

Harbaugh won Super Bowl XLVII and six division titles with Baltimore in 18 seasons.

The left side of Ottawa's PP unit has been hot hot trash tonight. Can't connect on a one‐timer, can barely accept a pass. They've left at least four scoring chances on the board simply because they can't do the basics.

Mickey Redmond is having a straight up existential crisis.

"This game's never gonna end."

"Good thing nobody's on a curfew around here."

That should probably stay no goal, there wasn't much contact but...if it's 1999 and that's a red wings jersey #96 in the crease, it's not goal...

Just like you draw it up

I enjoy Lions games more than Wings games, lately. In Lions games, the refs find a way to penalize Detroit. In Wings games, Detroit seeks out penalties and forces the refs to call them. Its a ying - yang thing.

Skating the Rideau Canal is freaking amazing. 12/10, would go back to do it again.

Ottawa yanks the starter between periods. Go ahead and hammer that panic button why dont ya?

(Unless the starter got hurt.)

Gannon has a high bar to clear as fired Cardinals HC. Kliff Kingsbury bought a one-way ticket to Thailand and pubically told teams not to bother calling his agent.

Betting window is open:

+450 - Becomes a Hot Yoga instructor
+875 ‐ Calls Aaron Rodgers and asks him if he "REALLY wants to party."
Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon has been fired, a league source tells @diannarussini.bsky.social.

Johnson rips Bears' offense after loss to Lions
Bears coach Ben Johnson wasn't happy with his team's offense in a 19-16 loss to the Lions while QB Caleb Williams admitted Chicago came out "flat."

but that Lions win over the Bears was, indeed, for Andy Isaac.

Brady: "it's gonna be hard for teams to come into Soldier Field and beat the Bears."

Bears: lose at home to a Lions team with 0 healthy offensive lineman, 14th string cornerbacks, and a pair of guys who were hired from FasTemps and briefly told what a NFL Safety is ten minutes before kickoff.

With a win over the Bears, the Lions have finished over .500 for 4 or more years in a row for the 3rd time in their history.

The last time was 1951-54.

Before that the Lions finished over. 500 from the years 1931-1939

I double dog dare these refs not to call that grounding...

A horseshit interpretation of a rule affects the Lions.

Gretzky out here looking like he just got back from a Thanksgiving walk with his cousins... #WinterClassic

I am 83% certain NHL marketing had to be convinced not to have Gretzky waterski during a bit for the Winter Classic.

"Wait...what if we have him jump something? I'm sure we could spitball something for him...wait wait...hear me out...I'm thinking maybe Jaws themed? Yeah? Who's with me?"

An incredibly generic country...ish artist named "Role Model" is the music equivalent of "Landman" and "Sheriff Country." This isnt real, right?

Thus guy embodies the Family Guy Teen choice awards gif.

The Winter Classic is giving off youth hockey tournament vibes. I think it's the random photographers scattered around the glass. They look like hockey dads that are too cool for the stands.

"Which one's yours?"
