Pint glass picture stan account.

The Lions are going all in on giving Gibbs the ball 35 times a game and hoping he can take the pounding behind a third-string O line. The Super Bowl “window” is closed, boarded up, and has “gas cut” written on it in bright orange spray paint.

Unless the Tigers trade Skubal, don’t expect any big moves before Opening Day. They will never spend the kind of money these free agents are getting this winter. Get used to the idea of 87 wins being their high water mark.

Lou Whitaker must be the most hated former MLB player of his generation. His career WAR is 20 points higher than that of Jeff Kent, who just got named to the Hall of Fame. It’s got to be personal. I don’t know how many players and writers he pissed off over time, but there’s no other explanation.

I see a lot of “experts” saying the playoff committee shouldn’t penalize teams who lose conference championship games in order to justify giving Alabama an at-large bid. By that logic, Ohio State should still be the #1 seed because they shouldn’t be punished for losing to Indiana.
