@That1LionsFan Zero expectations, therefore all upside

What are your REALISTIC expectations out of TA this upcoming season?

Jewish troops will be looking for Muslims hidden in the attics of Christians. Let that sink in.

@SleeperDetroit DBs generally

What is the Lions THIRD most needed position of need? I’m sure most fans agree 1 and 2 are defensive end and offensive tackle.

@HonoluluBlues_ I love repressed so many memories I don’t even know anynore

@philipgryan This was the play before that, Steelers would’ve had 2 seconds left on the clock had Teslaa caught it

Chuck Clark is the reason the Lions lost to the Steelers

@DungeonNoir Hated the binder!

It is interesting, if I posted the binder, everyone complains of the binder! If I post the hardback, everyone states how they prefer the binder!

@the_det_times @ItsAdamSchefter If only

BREAKING: The Lions are trading 3 first-round picks to the Browns for future HOF DE Myles Garrett, per @ItsAdamSchefter 🚨🚨🚨

@PAHoyeck Yes, it is S-tier sci-fi

Just finished watching Solaris (1972) for the first time. Wow. At the risk of being unoriginal, I have to bow down to the consensus: It is, along with 2001: A Space Odyssey, one of the greatest science fiction films of all time. There is very little competition.

@AmericanMade107 @unusual_whales Hooray, maybe trickle-down economics will finally come through for the beleaguered middle class!

@unusual_whales I’m OK with that if they’re hiring and making families lives better and making the economy grow. If we as a society, don’t like what they are doing then we should stop supporting them in any way possible

@qdiggs6 Seriously. Seems petty and punitive

Love the Lions but with seeing how other franchises have handled these situations it may be time to change how you’ve done things in the past.

@MidFanEnergy @JasonKelce NFL team execs (millionaires) making star players (millionaires) repay money. Seems petty and punitive of Lions, but is this a tragedy or simple disrespect?

@philipgryan @JasonKelce Yeah but they are the best at something that very few can do. And the premium pay that comes with that is deserved. Most NFL players survive 1-3 years, not like all of them are living large. Ragnow is all all-pro, this tweet is about a different issue.

This is interesting. It feels like it’s obvious that Frank retired because he was physically fighting through injuries and pain, and it got to a point that he no longer could play the game in an enjoyable, effective, or healthy way. The whole purpose of a signing bonus is to be a guarantee up front that insures a salary irregardless of performance metrics, or most importantly injuries that could compromise your career in the future. What makes this interesting is that Frank likely retired “voluntarily”, meaning, he wasn’t declared medically unfit to play by a doctor, which allows the team to ask for a prorated amount of his signing bonus back. Had he been medically deemed unfit to play football by a doctor before he retired, the team wouldn’t be able to recoup part of the signing bonus. Let me say this first, if a player truly just retires without reason, or because they’ve lost the desire to play, I completely get and acknowledge teams should be able to recoup compensation when players don’t fulfill there contractual obligations and agreements. However, Frank was known for being hurt and playing through injuries most players wouldn’t play through constantly. Broken foot, a torn pec, multiple knee injuries, back issues. There was always something, and I’m sure he was continuously dealing with multiple ailments to try and continue playing the game. His body clearly had deteriorated to a degree that made football no longer a viable option, physically, and probably mentally. In my opinion, the signing bonus is supposed to protect players from future physical ailments limiting their availability on the field, that’s one of the reasons you want more guaranteed money upfront. So while I get that the team has a right to ask for money back, in the spirit of the agreement, I think it’s bullshit Frank is being asked to return money. This was clearly a player that the game had physically taken its toll on, and his body was clearly no longer holding up to the rigors of the NFL. It wasn’t just some player deciding he didn’t want to play anymore, it wasn’t that simple, and these signing bonuses are there to protect players from the inevitable injuries they incur on the field.

@CuriosityonX Realistically humans can survive only four or five years in zero gravity without significant interventions

If you could name the first city on Mars, what would it be called?

@UpdatingOnRome Lincoln

Tell me the one person in history who, if they had lived an additional one, five, or even ten years, could have significantly changed the world.

@ImBreckWorsham Honestly seems like Trump voters hated all the other presidents too. Which presidents if any have done a good job?

Trump is systematically collapsing the economy, destroying the middle class, initiating WWIII and making America the laughing stock of the world. In one year he’s gone from winning the popular vote to becoming the most hated president in history. America is fucked.

@SleeperDetroit Coming off such a disappointing year, things have to get better. Right?

He’s going to be a big difference maker this year!! #OnePride

Updating my science fiction film to-watch list. What are some philosophically poignant science fiction films I need to see? I'd especially appreciate neglected films and foreign films I'm probably not familiar with.
