You asked "Who do the Lions have outside of 2021 fourth round pick St. Brown?" You included where St. Brown was drafted, so I answered your question. I'm sorry if you don't like the answer.

Jameson Williams, 1st round pick out of Alabama? DJ Chark, 2nd round pick out of LSU? TJ Hockenson also spent most of the season with Detroit and was a Top 10 pick out of Iowa.

Congratulations, you know the names of two of the best QB's to ever play the game! What's your point?

He needs to work on his passing, but I don't know why this is a surprise to anyone. As Albert Breer wrote last month: Furthermore, in college, these are pass attempts: Justin Herbert – 1,293 Patrick Mahomes – 1,349 Andrew Luck – 1,064 Russell Wilson – 1,489 Matt Ryan – 1,347 Ben Roethlisberger – 1,304 Justin Fields - 618 Yes, Justin Fields needs to become a better passer. Given the athletic ability we've seen on display, I have faith he can get there. Having actual NFL WR's and a decent OL will help him get there much quicker.

2022-23 NFL Season thread
It’s still a very dumb post/take. You’re using an emotional response from todays game to erase Weeks 6-7-8-9-10-11-13-15 (didn’t play week 12, bye was week 14) He’s also 23. He also had 132 rushing yards today. He is also throwing the worst WR core in the league, with a bad offensive line. He had a bad game. The Bears will be sitting on one of the most valuable commodities in the NFL in April, and using it to fill a position that is currently occupied by far and away their most talented player (who is also still on his rookie contract) is an awful use of resources, especially when you consider all the other needs on this team. You’re better than that

We suck, so . . . why?
Except for the younger generation, it absolutely is. It's fascinating to talk to kids about how they consume sports. I had breakfast this week with family and my cousin, who is 7, is a fan of basically every AL East team as they live outside of Boston. His favorite team right now is the Blue Jays because of Vlad and Bo Bichette. He watches the game recaps on YouTube every morning. I've got two cousins on the other side of my family who are 10 and 12 and they root for Golden State, the Mavs, and the Suns because of Steph, Luka and Devin Booker. And I've heard that from multiple parents, that with kids having access to YouTube at an early age, they aren't "trapped" by just having to root for the team in the city they live in. They like watching stars, like they watching fun, entertaining games. And maybe that's the way to do it. Additionally, one of the main reasons why the Cubs and Braves became incredibly popular was their accessibility. People across the country could consume those teams on WGN and TBS. In 2022, you can basically consume everything you want from your phone. As time goes on, teams are going to have to not only produce winners, but players people want to see. A team like the White Sox has relied on fans like us being "born into" Sox fandom and knowing they have their hooks locked in, but I don't think that's going to continue with new generations of fans.

Rumor: TLR will (NOT*) be present for ST *update
The problem is even it shouldn't even be believable, yet it 100% is.

Rumor: TLR will (NOT*) be present for ST *update
I know you want to take a positive approach to things, and more power to you...but history is absolutely not on your side on this one. There is enough present and historical evidence to tell us TLR would most likely have gotten another crack at things in 2023.

As I've always said, if you're going to troll, at least try and put some effort into it. This is just such laziness, it's gross.

Baby/Parenting Thread
We use the Nanit camera which has been great, really never had a problem with it and the app works really well. We also use a Hatch sound machine, which both helps her sleep and also keeps out other household noises.

Baby/Parenting Thread
Gotcha. We had a few rough nights with the transition to the crib but basically took the cry it out approach and she seemed to adjust pretty quick. But obviously if there is something wrong, or they are coughing, or really working themsevles up we go in. How long has he been in the crib now? I remember watching ours on the monitor during that phase and just having to go in and flip them over when she would roll, which sucks, but it doesn't last very long.

Dodgers gonna cut Trevor Bauer now that he’s reinstated (updated 12/22)
Please find me these posts "on the other end of the spectrum" being overtly sexist, calling someone a "retard" or telling social media they are literally killing people. I'm sorry people aren't beating down Aubrey's door to manage their team and represent their franchise every day. I'll wait for those tweets, Chet.

Carlos Correa is a Twin - 6 yrs $200M
They are banking a ton on 38 and 39 year old SP's. Sounds crazy coming from a Sox fan, but if I'm a Mets fan I would have much rather them sign Rodon and another good bat than go all in on Correra

RUMOR: White Sox interested in Adam Duvall
That’s why a lot of us didn’t think it made sense to totally blow it up this off-season. They will live and die by this core. They made that investment 3-4 years ago in these guys and said Anderson-Eloy-Moncada-Robert are the guys, they will live and die with those core players. Obviously 3/4 haven’t lived up to the billing at this point…and here we are.

RUMOR: White Sox interested in Adam Duvall
For a team in their "window" it's criminal they can't add a $5-6 million dollar player. It's also criminal they don't have internal options that can play the role Adam Duvall would be asked to play, considering the now 34 year old Adam Duvall was fairly awful last year.

Jesse Rogers: Sox Sign Benintendi - 5yr / $75M
He’s a good fit. I’m happy they are spending some money. It makes me sad this is the largest contract in team history, and I still don’t think this team is anywhere near the “contender” they told us they would be.

I'll be honest, not sure it can get much worse than right now. My excitement level, along with my "faith" in this organization to show any interest in trying to win a World Series is at an all-time low, truly.

Amazing how quickly things change. Logic told me that they knew more than others when it came to the health of Rodon, they were using info no one else had and knew it wasn’t a safe bet. The Rodon/Kimbrel situation is really where all the trust fell apart, then 2022 happened and…here we are
