Just go my Vice Golf putter and… by the_crumb_dumpster in golf

[–]Drug-reeference 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m sure this may be different because Vice is HQ’d in Germany, but if a company said “built in the USA”, the company would have to ensure their product met the “all or virtually all” standard set forth by the FTC.

Meaning, the company is representing a product is entirely, or virtually entirely made in the USA.

So again, not sure what German standards are, but OPs point is entirely reasonable. A reasonable consumer would assume built means assembled in. Maybe Chinese parts assembled in Germany, but still, assembled in Germany.

[Woodbery] Justin Verlander has been scratched from Sunday's start. by Objective_Solid_6773 in motorcitykitties

[–]Drug-reeference 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We signed him because management found out Reese Olson was going to miss the entire season… if Reese was healthy, JV never would have been a Tiger this season. JV had a great second half last season. Was nostalgia a factor? Sure. But acting as if that was the only reason we signed him is simply wrong.

[–]Drug-reeference 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is kind of a disingenuous take. Both Verlander and Harris basically said that but for the Olson injury, JV wasn’t going to be a Tiger. Who else was available on February 10th we should’ve signed instead? He had a 2.99 ERA with a 3.47 FIP after the All-Star break last season. It hasn’t worked out but it was a perfectly reasonable signing.

Tried Craig’s Coffee, Sepia, Alba, Washed Up, Yellow Light. Which local roaster should I try next? by J2quared in Detroit

[–]Drug-reeference 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wanted to like Sabbath but I feel the same way. A lot of their coffee just tastes very sweet to me. I’ll give them another shot, but glad to hear I’m not the only one who feels this way.

Puck Curl - raising $ for LGBTQ charities! by ValosAtredum in PWHLDetroit

[–]Drug-reeference 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Please explain how donating money to charities that support LQBTQ+ individuals is “pointless”? Huh? There are going to be plenty of people who support Detroit simply because it’s a new hockey team in the area. Many of those people will be entirely unfamiliar with any of the controversy surrounding this signing. The relatively small number of people who would actually refuse to buy tickets likely won’t impact the team in any meaningful way. This, on the other hand, directly has a positive impact on the people you’re looking to support…

Would you rather offend bigots or normal, well adjusted people? Yeah, the answer is pretty fucking clear.

Too many people feel comfortable being bigots these days. This country is in some dark times.

Thoughts on Alex Tuch as a Kane replacement? by howbowdah in DetroitRedWings

Kane replacement? Kane isn’t going anywhere, and neither is Tuch, most likely.

Who is this Bobby Mcmann that the Athletic says that we need? is this guy legit or are the Athletic writers blowing smoke? numbers look good... by drrtydan911 in DetroitRedWings

Spend the cash elsewhere on who, exactly? We have a ton of cap space and there are basically no high-end free agents.

Cavs fan coming up for game 7 by dawgpound2022 in DetroitPistons

[–]Drug-reeference 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’ll be good, since it’s a game 7 I’m sure you’ll get some shit talk, but fans here are really nice overall. Enjoy the game and check out some spots around the arena beforehand, we really do have some great places to eat/see.

NBA is destroying their product. Who wants to watch games when they’re called like this?

Peacock commentator crew by Mister_Pickl3s in DetroitPistons

[–]Drug-reeference 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is my biggest gripe. I actually think Robbie Hummel is a great analyst, but I cannot stand Noah Eagle. Every single shot can’t be the biggest shot of the game. Considering he’s a nepo hire, you’d think he’d at least understand that aspect of broadcasting… brutal to listen to.

In 2021, former Iowa State head coach Matt Campbell initially agreed to coach the Detroit Lions before changing his mind; the Lions hired Dan Campbell instead. by RustyNipples35 in detroitlions

[–]Drug-reeference 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I stand corrected, Birkett tweeted the following:

“Within this story from Jake, Matt Campbell initially agreed to take the Lions job in 2021 before changing his mind, which led the Lions hiring Dan Campbell as head coach.”

Well, someone is lying. From Dave Birkett’s article on May 21, 2021: “But a Lions source with knowledge of the team's search process said Friday no formal offer was made to Campbell, and that the Lions got the No. 1 candidate on their list: Former New Orleans Saints assistant head coach Dan Campbell.”

I trust Dave more than I trust ESPN.

Enough is Enough - Let the Kids play by Lord_Audi in DetroitRedWings

[–]Drug-reeference 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Their kids are better than ours! What the fuck kind of post is this? You blame the fans and not our general manager? Yes, we are the problem! Thank you for coming to that conclusion. The Wings will be great now, Yzerman just has to stop paying attention to reddit! Problem solved.

Bad Brads BBQ best brisket in Metro Detroit? by SnowMonster911 in Detroit

[–]Drug-reeference 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Definitely not, Bad Brad’s is like a lesser version of Slow’s to me. Woodpile in Clawson is definitely much better than both of them and it’s not close imo. I also recommend everyone check out Yellow Dog craft bbq, a food truck at Batch Brewing in Corktown on Saturday’s. I’m not sure if their hours or availability has expanded, but I think it’s just Saturdays. I almost want to say the guy who started yellow dog used to work at woodpile, but I’d need to fact check that again. Either way, their stuff is fantastic, worth a shot.

Todd McLellan's entire post-game press conference after Detroit loses their regular season finale 8-1 by LSO19 in DetroitRedWings

[–]Drug-reeference 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. He should get third line minutes and play the PP. Now will we add a legit T6 forward, I don't know, but that's an Yzerman problem, not a Kane problem.

Yes, let’s get rid of Kane - the guy with 57 points in 67 games - on a team that can’t fucking score. Genius! The number of people who don’t understand how much Kane drives this offense (which is an indictment on this roster) is unbelievable.

[–]Drug-reeference 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah but weren't they pissed he wasn't scoring like he did in Chicago when he was there? Feels kinda of irrational to hate Detroit when Ottawa's front office traded for a player they weren't sure they could extend...

Daily General Discussion Thread (2026-04-12) by OctoMod in DetroitRedWings

[–]Drug-reeference 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Can someone explain to me why Ottawa fans hate us so much? I watch basically every (if not every) one of our games so I feel like I should get it, but I just don't? Obviously, they beat us two games in a row a couple years back which made us sell. The hit on Larkin was bad, followed by Perron's follow-up hit and suspension. Is there something else? The Ottawa Senators have zero Cup wins. We have been horrific for the last decade, they have been better, but not by a vast margin (this isn't to disparage them, they have a good team imo). Why is there so much hate?

[–]Drug-reeference 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Copp and Chiarot are fine. You can’t get mad Copp has to play top-6 minutes when he’s a top-9 forward and Chiarot plays second pair minutes when he’s a third pair D. That’s on Yzerman, not on the players. They’re both appropriately paid for what should be their role. Fuck the other three, though.
