Change is hard.
Set your preferences to your liking and the old den will be all that you see. It really isn’t that difficult. Others, like to discuss all sports here with like minded folks, friends etc. Lions, Tigers, Red Wings Pistons(yea last two, I mean who gives a shit) and college football.
You, however, can stick your head in the Honolulu Blue sand and enjoy the Lions talk only, it is by far the best on the interwebz.
But why does it matter what other people want to talk about? All you have to do is scroll to the bottom, put this thread on ignore, and you’ll never see it again.
Right. They chose the bad option over the worse option.
But my underlying point is that we’ve entered an era in which “innovation” is often geared towards things that the consumers absolutely do not want. I’d argue that most of AI is that way as well.
In this case it’s definitely more about relief than something they actually want.
I know it’s a little get-off-my-lawn of me, but conference-wise I really wish we could wind back the clock to the days before the Southwest conference broke up. We had it good back then. Regional rivalries, multiple teams had chances to win, deep histories had been established, Texas couldn’t bully the other Texas schools as easily. No transfer portal (a hot button issue, I’m aware, but I hate it).
Now obviously the bowl system sucked so I’d want the playoffs to stick around, and players should definitely get paid. But the conferences back then were so good. Americans today will never get to experience anything like it.
I agree. And mandate offensive scheme. Sport totalitarianism. Maybe give a small amount of choice. Like for instance, “Houston Cougars, you can either run the Veer or the Run n Shoot but not both.”
The Detroit Lions, recent news or things that our players or staff did-you run out of that…then talk about other NFL teams-what they are doing, done, or IF an NFL team is better than we are currently, moves you would like to see The Lions make prior to the 24 season. discuss our staff, team colors, logos, debate who the best sorce of NFL news is.
Think of it this way: the Lions have never been running so well that we could dare to think dynastically. This is now a realistic conceptual framework.
