The Lions signed DT Alim McNeill to a 4-year, $96M extension and RB David Montgomery to a 2-year, $18.25M extension in October. Now, McNeill is out for the season with a torn ACL, and Montgomery is out indefinitely with an MCL injury—adding to the many injuries Detroit has faced this year.
#tellem like we weren't only a single score away from winning.. reminds me of when everyone acted like last year was our only shot at a SB.. this is a dynasty build, and it's going incredibly well. On to the next one
@woodwardsports@Lions You're joking, love them both.. and all our IR players.. but one 6 pt loss to the best team in AFC doesn't mean anything. Dont hurt yourselves jumping off the bandwagon at 12-2
@NatSparbeck I remember the same old lions fans losing all faith after this one too.. sometimes you lose, doesn't mean you aren't capable lol... we were literally a fumble/onsides kick/single TD away from a W yesterday... everyone calm down
@detsportsnation 1500ish from pre pandemic-2023, then 2800, now 3400.. of course I'm paying! (Hate me if you want for this, but sold Bucs and Packers on TM and made 1800 net this year, so honestly, supply/demand makes it understandable based on waitlist size and secondary mkt)
I don’t really do endorsements. I’m not shy about sharing my views, but I hate politics and don’t trust most politicians.
I also understand that people want to hear from me because I am not just a celebrity, I am a former Republican Governor.
My time as Governor taught me to love policy and ignore politics. I’m proud of the work I did to help clean up our air, create jobs, balance the budget, make the biggest infrastructure investment in state history, and take power from the politicians and give it back to the people when it comes to our redistricting process and our primaries in California.
That’s policy. It requires working with the other side, not insulting them to win your next election, and I know it isn’t sexy to most people, but I love it when I can help make people’s lives better with policies, like I still do through my institute at USC, where we fight for clean air and stripping the power from the politicians who rig the system against the people.
Let me be honest with you: I don’t like either party right now. My Republicans have forgotten the beauty of the free market, driven up deficits, and rejected election results. Democrats aren’t any better at dealing with deficits, and I worry about their local policies hurting our cities with increased crime.
It is probably not a surprise that I hate politics more than ever, which, if you are a normal person who isn’t addicted to this crap, you probably understand.
I want to tune out.
But I can’t. Because rejecting the results of an election is as un-American as it gets. To someone like me who talks to people all over the world and still knows America is the shining city on a hill, calling America is a trash can for the world is so unpatriotic, it makes me furious.
And I will always be an American before I am a Republican.
That’s why, this week, I am voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.
I’m sharing it with all of you because I think there are a lot of you who feel like I do. You don’t recognize our country. And you are right to be furious.
For decades, we’ve talked about the national debt. For decades, we’ve talked about comprehensive immigration reform that secures the border while fixing our broken immigration system. And Washington does nothing.
The problems just keep rolling, and we all keep getting angrier, because the only people that benefit from problems aren’t you, the people. The only people that benefit from this crap are the politicians who prefer having talking points to win elections to the public service that will make Americans’ lives better.
It is a just game to them. But it is life for my fellow Americans. We should be pissed!
But a candidate who won’t respect your vote unless it is for him, a candidate who will send his followers to storm the Capitol while he watches with a Diet Coke, a candidate who has shown no ability to work to pass any policy besides a tax cut that helped his donors and other rich people like me but helped no one else else, a candidate who thinks Americans who disagree with him are the bigger enemies than China, Russia, or North Korea - that won’t solve our problems.
It will just be four more years of bullshit with no results that makes us angrier and angrier, more divided, and more hateful.
We need to close the door on this chapter of American history, and I know that former President Trump won’t do that. He will divide, he will insult, he will find new ways to be more un-American than he already has been, and we, the people, will get nothing but more anger.
That’s enough reason for me to share my vote with all of you. I want to move forward as a country, and even though I have plenty of disagreements with their platform, I think the only way to do that is with Harris and Walz.
Vote this week. Turn the page and put this junk behind us.
And even if you disagree with me, vote, because that’s what we do as Americans. https://t.co/eHFZ723I4H
David Montgomery: Me getting 1,000 yard seasons doesn’t create lasting change for Detroit, but winning a Super Bowl does.
Could he be a better person? A better player? So proud of him. #OnePride
Wow, Detroit just ran the ball down their throat. Holy shit that was an impressive drive in overtime!! I’ll be up for another 2 hours because of that, adrenaline is through the roof!
#Lions OC Ben Johnson informed the #Seahawks and #Commanders that he’s staying in Detroit, per sources.
Johnson is still only 37 and will be a hot head coaching candidate again next year. But first, he wants to take another shot at bringing a Lombardi Trophy to Detroit.
@JKERB25 got us hyped in week 18 after we got knocked out of playoffs last year, and he's back again pulling us out of our crybaby BS today.. never change sir, and thank you #allgrit#alldetroit#kirbysmash
The woman at ~2:40 is my Dad's Godmother.. she has sat in the front row behind the Lions bench my whole life win or lose. She is arguably responsible for making me a fan. Love you Thea! #onepride
@NatSparbeck What's nuts are that these are low estimates.. our section in 2nd level is asking $900 and STM face value was just under $200, Rams fans next to us paid 5x for Wildcard over our list price 🤯🤯
