I just found a lemon tree, it’s a bad day for my enemies.

This is HUGE news! Tax increases for the 1%, new tax credits only for the 99%, a curb on inflation, lower prescription drug cost and most important of all, a massive investment in climate saving tech and infrastructure! That’s just the tip of the ice burg! https://t.co/dThSGby1NT

@mostlysports Tweeted this separately @BFW, but you’re going off of talent output and in that sense it’s hockey and it’s not even close. 41 NHLers from the 313, about 190ish from metro Detroit. 275+ players drafted that came through the Detroit AAA pipeline.

@BFW Detroit is definitively a hockey town, but you’re correct also that within the city the love for the Pistons runs deep.

[Ben Packard @bpack24]

12 players born in metro Detroit have collected 21 Stanley cups. Also worth mentioning the players who are not from Michigan who moved to Michigan so they can play for the AAA teams like Caesars, Honeybaked, Compuware, and Victory Honda. Combined for 275+ draft picks.

[Ben Packard @bpack24]

@BFW Detroit proper has put out 41 NHL players all time (the most among major US cities), the state of Michigan has put out 205 NHL players all time and roughly 90% of those players come from southeast Michigan.

@TheMetsX @on3 @PeteNakos Unless he wins then I’m back in

[Ben Packard @bpack24]

@TheMetsX @on3 @PeteNakos I might boycott Michigan football if it’s Brian Kelly

[Ben Packard @bpack24]

@barstoolsports Remember when they got stomped by Michigan and the refused to play them for like a decade? This is what ND does.

@woodwardsports @UMichFootball @BigTenNetwork @bigten Bryce is great. He’s has to overcome horrible game planning, play calling, and really just all around game mismanagement. Chip Lindsey needs to be gone yesterday. Get an OC in there who knows what to do with Bryce and build around him

[Ben Packard @bpack24]

@OnTheBanksOTRC Michigan fans will root for MSU sometimes though because our best friends are cheering for them. You will never catch me doing anything other than praying on the downfall of the entire state of Ohio. That said the MSU rivalry absolutely could be top 10 as well.

[Ben Packard @bpack24]

@bigcontentguy Like 61-9?

[Ben Packard @bpack24]

@RealisticBuck Only nice thing I’ll say is heady play by the two OSU coaches who got that flagpole out of there quick

@TheCourageCoin @stoolpresidente Bobcats stink, Go Broncos

@IngraMac17 @Blue2Bongo Not sure what point you’re making but Don Brown could not stop mesh, roll back the film.

@PardonMyTake @ChevyTrucks Depends on the O Line

[Ben Packard @bpack24]

@MySportsUpdate Clearly not a ball knower. Once that hand is in the dirt it’s has to be there till the ball is snapped. If you put both hands down you’re there till the snap. If either hand come out of the dirt it’s a false start. That’s the correct call you’re just salty.

[Ben Packard @bpack24]

@NUCLRGOLF Yeah I mean you play the hole in front of you
