    Signing Jamal Adams is so dumb it might just work. Yes Adams is insane. No he can't cover in the backfield. But... he can rush. If Glenny is only going to use him at the line, then this could be one of the smarter dumb moves the Lions have ever made. Just keep him the fuq away from Waymo.

    Here's a thought experiment for you: Country A pays their workers on average 60K per year. Country B pays their workers on average 15K per year. What should country A do to compete with country B? A. Force workers to accept 25% of their current wages B. Tariff the goods from country B to offeset their labor advantage C. Do nothing and allow work to move to country B ?

    In all seriousness, I've enjoyed watching the new media narrative of "tAriFfS JUsT mAKe THiNgs moRe eXPeNsiVE" That would be true... if you only think in 1 dimension. Sure the chinese made widget becomes 25% more expensive for the consumer today. But the residual effect is that an American made good now takes that widgets market share (+jobs +earnings +manufacturing +growth). I worked in importing/exporting Asian and Europen goods from 2015 to 2022. I saw it first hand. The day import tariffs took place in 2016 we had an executive meeting that resulted in my former employer ceasing all importing and distributing of chinese goods in our product line. And on our Euro goods we were forced to eat the cost and increase our prices. Do you know what the result of this was? Our US based competitor killed us, and basically captured the American market on all the goods being tariffed. Do you know what we did to compete? We refocused all our capitol into expanding our production in the USA. Funniest part is: Our flagship product wasn't even cheaper than the American version before the tariffs lol. But after the tariffs we could no longer land the product in the US at a competitive offering for the customer. So price did not rise for the American consumer... the tariff just killed foreign competition in the market. USA's economic power rests on being the largest consumer market in the world by far. An import tariff is a major flex of that power. The same cannot be said of Canada. I do think Canada and Mexico would be wise to also impose more import tariffs, but they have to be more strategic, as both don't have the market flex the USA does that can kill a companies bottom line. Especially Canada. Mexico on the otherhand is quickly becoming a manufacturing powerhouse. And trade between the US Mexico is likely to increase despite any tariffs on Mexican goods, thanks to the tariffs on the Chinese. Despite Mexico's "issues" IMO they are on the doorstep of a major economic boom. I'm seriously considering buying land down there so I can ex-pat down there in retirement. Anyway tariffs work and are good. There's a reason Biden and Harris didn't end the ones trump imposed in his first term! Regard awayyyyyyyyyyyy!

    State owned stores. What you'd expect with socialism. Canadian beer in America? 25% tariff starting in 2025. Molson and Labatt lose their biggest market. Both have to be bailed out by The People's Worker Republic of Canada. Beer inventory plummets. Empty shelf space is filled by imported American lager: Bud Light. Now you can enjoy them in the new limited edition American Freedom can that has an image of DJT raking leaves into the garbage against a red white n blue star spangled background. Your welcome Canadians. US tariffs ravage the leaf economy. Maybe ill just go to the USA to find work or buy my funko pops and other *** communist s***? Too late. Tariff money collected put up a beautiful high security border wall. No syrup backs allowed. Whites only. 23andMe data used to identify anyone remaining in the US with leaf heritage. Scott and I, and Nathan Bedford Forrest, starting meeting up in the woods at night. We started a patriotic lil club where we work on our hood making and leaf raking skills together, and of course to enjoy a delicious bud light in the company of frens

    Got one of the new camo cans in my Bush/Cheney 04 coozy right now buddddd Mulvaney is gone, Gillis is in charge, and BL's are back See, I don't tuck tail and run when the he/shes try to destroy our beloved American brands. I stand up. Like I stand up for the national anthem. Because I believe in premium American lager. Like I believe in the American people. Like I believe in faith, family, and freedom. Like I believe those values built this country (so you can keep your IPAs and your guacamole the hell out!). Like I believe American families have the right to defend this country from foreign invaders pouring over our borders illegally. Like I believe jet fuel can't melt steel beams. Like I believe trans national bankers control our government. Like I believe Britney Griner should have been left in the gulag. Like I believe Russia has the right to defend itself against the globalist Ukraine. Like I believe in one China. Like I believe skull shape says a lot about someone. Like I believe 6 million is a pretty unbelievable number. Like I believe in Bud Light. God bless you, and god bless anheuser busch. Happy thanksgiving, commie.

    PSA: BEWARE THE MICHIGANDER The "Michigander" is a dangerous race of subhumans hailing from a little known area north of Canada. After destroying their own homeland with "the auto industry" they have quickly spread across the rest of America like a cancerous plague, seeking to infiltrate and destroy the home stadiums of others. Be vigilant. They could be anyone anywhere. Your neighbor. A coworker. The busk boy at your favorite restaurant. That stripper that you are pretty sure likes you. Basically anyone with a crumby job that and/or lacks class COULD BE A DANGEROUS SPAWN OF THE HAND STATE. They may appear to be just normal trashy Americans at first... DO NOT BE FOOLED. THE LIVES OF YOUR FAMILY AND YOUR FOOTBALL TEAMS SEASON DEPEND ON IT. Know how to recognize the signs: 1. They have an unnatural aversion to salt water. Prefering "the lake" to an actual nice ocean beach. 2. They call soda "pop" and NEVER throw the "pop cans" away, prefering to horde the trash like a filthy gypsy. 3. Terrible sense of direction. When told to make a left, the Michigander will typically turn right... then later pull a U-turn, to eventually end up driving left. 4. When playing cards they are confused why jacks are not high. 5. Much of their pocket change is Canadian currency. 6. They call summer "construction season" 7. They have no real views on anything, and their politics change wildly and seemingly at random. Often supporting candidates for flippant reasons like "he seems like a guy i could have beer with" or "i don't like him cause he looks like my step dad greg". "But I live all the way down in Houston Texas, surely I'm safe from Michiganders down here" WRONG. No distance is safe.The Michigander is naturally mobile and was bred to travel long distances with ease. Look for key phrases like "You're flying? Why? It's only 40 hours. Just drive." If you do encounter one in the wild, do not tell them their team sucks. They know their team sucks, and are thus impervious to that aggression. Instead, assume a non-aggressive posture, and chant clearly and loudly "OHIO IS A NICE PLACE OHIO IS A NICE PLACE". The Michigander is naturally disgusted by anything Ohio, and should recoil once this phrase uttered. Using that technique you may just survive the encounter with your life and record preserved.

    Ovechkin Top 5 Goal Scorer all time?

    85% of LGW voted he wouldn't make #1 or #2. He's been #2 since the 22-23 season. 94% of LGW voted he wouldn't make #1. He only has 36 goals to go with another year on his contract after this one. Best thing we ever did was bully the Canadians off this board. Witness the GOAT ya Gretzky fondlers.

    Still suspended for "doping", and now under investigation by police because Ben Johnson planted a gun in his car. He can't keep getting away with it. Ben Johnson is the worst man in football. If you can call him a man. More like monster. God save the packers of green bay, and return us our Waymo unscathed by this psychopath.

    https://www.si.com/nfl/lions/news/xavier-mckinney-dont-respect-lions-embarrassing-people Thank you for saying something Xavier. Dan and Ben will definately start pumping the brakes now, and will totally not blowout a dvisional rival even worse now because of your comments. I adore this, that other teams and players are absolutely S E E T H I N G over our blowout wins. Where was this anger when the Lions were literally getting BTFO every game, every season, for the last 60+ years??? No mercy for the pharisees. We aren't here to gain YOUR respect. We are here to gain OUR respect. And Ben Johnson is going to formulate trick plays that have Brian Branch throwing TDs to the the equipment manager to go up 5 scores with 30 sec left in the 4th, until you learn to respect us. Wanna not get blown out? Play better. It's not our fault the tables have turned and now YOU'RE the joke franchise... well, actually it is, because we're better at football than you... but point is, the tables have turned, and our reign will not be a mericful one. We remember being the joke. We remember the 2023 NFC championship. We remember how fast games can turn. All gas, no brakes. Blowouts will continue until respect improves. And the Green Bay blowout just widened by another 7 pts. Thank you Xavier. Best of luck on Sunday.
