Wow. I get to watch a Thanksgiving Lion game without the whole country complaining about it? Talk about unfamiliar territory!! Jamison Williams. Jabe already knows. After an injury, a suspension, and a bout of immaturity and cockiness, the Lions are going to unleash the new fastest man in the NFL. David Montgomery watched him run one time and exclaimed, "Holy shit!! This guy's on our team?" He's the missing piece to our already efficient offense. The deep threat we don't have. His mere presence and the threat to go deep is going to make defenses cover him with a corner and a safety, thus opening the middle of the field further for Laporta, St. Brown, and the running game. From Crimson to Honolulu blue, I'm starting to like these boys from Alabama! Stop!! Don't ruin my dreams.

Willie Hernández, closer for Tigers' 1984 World Series squad, dies at age 69 (detroitnews.com) R.I.P. Willie. One of only three Major league players to win the Cy Young, MVP, and World Series in the same season (Koufax & McClain). He had a screw ball that made right-handed hitters look stupid. We traded for him right before the season started and couldn't have done it without him.

I'm not sure how it happened, but I ended up watching the Lions vs St. Louis Cardinals from 1970 in Tiger Stadium on utube. It was the CBS game of the week with Verne Lundquist. Jim Hart, Jackie Smith, Jim Bakken, and Macarthur Lane! The field was in such bad shape that referee Pat Haggerty had to mark off penalties by strides because all the line markers were gone. THEN they brought out the sticks and chains to measure. No mikes on the refs so you never knew who the penalties were called on. I was cracking up. Then I watched Lem Barney intercept two passes and then try to cover a guy by chasing him around the padded goal posts at the goal line. Mel Farr Superstar got tackled by his own brother Miller Farr. Two fumbles were caused by the ground. No review, no disputes. Jim Hart was sacked and piled on by 4 guys high and low and was crushed like an ant. He could barely walk back to the huddle. Every one of them would be considered a late or illegal hit in today's game. Two guys were wearing neck-rolls. Remember those? I was only 10 years old and was shocked at how many of these guys I remembered. Quite an unexpected lesson as to how the game has evolved over the years.

Pistons are running on 3 cylinders. I can't even watch.

I'm sure Rick is fine. He may have had an emergency appointment at the proctologist to get that pesky Metta tumor removed from his colon that's been bugging him lately.

So now cocaine is legal in Oregon, but straws aren’t. That must be frustrating. Still trying to get my head around the fact that ‘Take Out’ can mean food, dating, or murder. Dear paranoid people who check behind their shower curtains for murderers. If you do find one, what’s your plan? The older I get, the more I understand why roosters just scream to start their day. Being popular on Facebook is like sitting at the ‘cool table’ in the cafeteria of a mental hospital. You know you’re over 50 when you have ‘upstairs ibuprofen’ and ‘downstairs ibuprofen’. How did doctors come to the conclusion that exercise prolongs life, when the rabbit is always jumping but only lives for around two years, and the turtle that doesn’t exercise at all, lives over 200 years. I too was once a male trapped in a female body....but then my mom gave birth. If only vegetables smelled as good as bacon. When I lost the fingers on my right hand in a freak accident, I asked the doctor if I would still be able to write with it. He said, “Probably, but I wouldn’t count on it.” I woke up this morning determined to drink less, eat right, and exercise. But that was four hours ago when I was younger and full of hope. Anyone who says their wedding was the best day of their life has clearly never had two candy bars fall down at once from a vending machine. We live in a time where intelligent people are silenced so that stupid people won’t be offended. The biggest joke on mankind is that computers have begun asking humans to prove they aren’t a robot. When a kid says “Daddy, I want mommy” that’s the kid version of “I’d like to speak to your supervisor”. It’s weird being the same age as old people. Just once, I want a username and password prompt to say CLOSE ENOUGH. Last night the Internet stopped working so I spent a few hours with my family. They seem like good people. You know you are getting old when friends with benefits means having someone who can drive at night. Weight loss goal: To be able to clip my toenails and breathe at the same time. After watching how some people wore their masks, I understand why contraception fails. Some of my friends exercise every day. Meanwhile I am watching a show I don’t like because the remote fell on the floor. For those of you that don’t want Alexa or Siri listening in on your conversation, they are making a male version….it doesn’t listen to anything. I just got a present labeled, ‘From Mom and Dad’, and I know darn well Dad has no idea what’s inside.

Still very early in the season. There's potential for everything to change in the last 4-5 games. Injuries, rookies who never played 17 game seasons, and veterans whose bodies betray them. The Lions are a perfect example. A supposed easy schedule ends with Minnesota, Dallas, and Minnesota again. Too many men on the field Buffalo! Had to chuckle at that. Lost and won games both ways, including that one where we had 13 men on the field for the game winning field goal.

Will of the voters? Republicans in Ohio pledge to push back on abortion, marijuana (msn.com) Whew! No weed or abortion regardless of the people's vote. That's democracy in action. Sounds like a winning hand for 2024.

Did they leave in the part where Neil has a big coke rock hanging from his nose? I remember seeing this at the show and I was bored to tears. Way way too long! I enjoyed it much more years later when it was shown on cable.

I can relate. The stance of most friends from the past is, "My time, my place, my toys, and I'll dismiss you according to my wife's schedule." This led to my own personal stance of, if you can't meet me halfway 25% of the time, I'm simply not meeting you at all. That includes relatives. In retirement I always confront something new with the same question. Is this going to complement or complicate my life? I'm constantly amazed at people my age who seem to love and embrace shit-stirring drama that serves no purpose except to scratch their imaginary egos, usually based on the past. I have an old friend who is on his 3rd marriage. He's amazed because I've made a calculated decision to avoid relationships since I've retired. Whenever I see him it's the first question he asks. "Are you dating anyone?" He already knows the answer. Eventually I asked him, why do you care? That's akin to me constantly asking you how many times a month you walk into your own home on eggshells wondering what mood #3 is in today? It's none of my business. I'm also constantly amazed at the level of anger expressed by people my age. Personally, I'm running out of steam. I no longer have the energy left to waste on hatred and anger towards anyone or anything. Life is hard. Some people choose to knowingly make it harder. I tend to shun those types of people these days, for the simple reason that time is limited.
