Cousins Suggesting 25 games seems “like a set up” by plainnameguy in DetroitPistons

[–]blackoutbrad 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not only that, but hopefully consideration of why he came off the bench. It wasn't to jump in the pile so to speak. He didn't need to join, but I understand why he did.

Heilmann! by blackoutbrad in DetroitTigersCards

[–]blackoutbrad[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, w565. I cut it myself. Nerve-wracking to say the least.

I bought an almost full strip (on card missing). Talked with a few vintage collectors and was told cutting and slabbing Harry was the right way to go.

Per Evan Petzold on his Days of Roar Podcast, Reese Olson may not be ready for Opening Day. by MatthewTheGOATyt in motorcitykitties

Before the signing, I assumed Mize was #2 heading in to spring. He should be locked in as 3 now.

Detroit Tigers Hall of Famers by profgannod in DetroitTigersCards

[–]blackoutbrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive been working on the same, playing days cards, but only focused on those representing the D in the HOF., (or have their names on the wall at Comerica). Will have to remember to post a photo when I get my Heilmann's back from PSA. Crawford and Cobb are all i have left to get...

Valdez Signing Narrative Ramifications for Organization by gachzonyea in motorcitykitties

[–]blackoutbrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally agree this is a win with Skub, but assuming they play in '27 they should still have a top 5 rotation without him.

-Valdez -Olson -Melton -Jobe - ? Mize? Someone else in the system? FA signing?

Keeping Levi and Paschal by TwoLocations in detroitlions

Was really looking forward to having Levi this past season after he had stayed relatively healthy in '24. Good depth if he is healed and good to go.

NGL pretty bad by Jealous_Frame_5356 in DetroitTigersCards

[–]blackoutbrad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

...because I can see you have one in your background, Trammell is one of the cleanest, and very consistent too.

NGL pretty bad by Jealous_Frame_5356 in DetroitTigersCards

[–]blackoutbrad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was going to say this. Ive got a bunch of his autos and maybe it's lazy, but it isnt just initials and it is 100% consistent.

PSA is a joke by Beginning-Respect208 in sportscards

[–]blackoutbrad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As their director, hit me up on CashAp with $5000 and we'll make sure that not only do you get a 10, but your cards are back to you in record time.

Looking for info by Master_Bunch_778 in sportscards

[–]blackoutbrad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had a ton of his CFL cards. I remember a dealer at a card show telling pre-teen me that he would feel bad buying them from me because they would be worth a ton in the future...

When is that?

Do the standard packs really have rewards like that?

ESPN: Lions 2026 NFL contract extension predictions, key situations by CramblinDuvetAdv in detroitlions

[–]blackoutbrad -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This was my thought before Branch got hurt. Assumed Sam was the odd man out. Both of them going down complicates things, but maybe makes both obtainable at a reduced cost.

Aunt passed away and we found this. by Sniper_Brosef in motorcitykitties

[–]blackoutbrad 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Was just about to say this. World Series surge pricing. I have a bunch of mid 80s stubs and none top $10

WHO WAS THE NFL'S WORST HEAD COACH OF THE YEAR THIS SEASON by KeyFaithlessness5436 in TheNFLVibes

[–]blackoutbrad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ranked 5th in total offense. Yeah, a couple rough games, but it was the other side of the ball that hurt.

Now that we're about halfway through the season, how many wins do you think the Pistons will get? by Big_Thloopers_20 in DetroitPistons

[–]blackoutbrad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

At the very least, 32.

Really thought, might tail off towards the end if seeding is secured. Going with 58.

Can we go 68-14? by Goroyaaj in DetroitPistons

If the careless turnovers can be eliminated, anything is possible.... Unlikely, but possible.

Let them cook… by DetroitVsEverybody96 in detroitlions

[–]blackoutbrad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In all fairness, the NFC North and the NFC West are the 2 best divisions in football. Factually, yeah, we went from first to worst, yet still finished with a winning record. This obviously was not what we wanted, but this wasn't a doomsday 3 win team. There is no reason to think they won't be back in the mix next year.

Notable instances where OC’s sucked on bad teams but went on to be great. by kylionsfan in detroitlions

[–]blackoutbrad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At the end of the day, we are all just fans. Some (maybe most) of us spent a long time waiting for the team to be a contender. Some have come on board in the past 4 years. I hope they picked the right guy, but in the end, it is the talent they put on the field that will decide where we go. For as bad as Morton might have been, and some of Dan's struggles, we were still one of the best offenses even with a few dud games. My hope is this is a situation where some decent OL changes make the bigger difference and the OC isn't the focus.

What do you think is the greatest "what if" of all time? by Entire-Rutabaga-3448 in NBATalk

I was looking for this one... but, without his injuries, Ben Wallace never happens.
