Get Your BYB with... Bacon?
Have you ever read Bless You Boys in the morning and thought to yourself as you were checking up on your Detroit Tigers, "Man, I could really go for some bacon right now." It doesn't have to be a morning thing, of course. Bacon goes with virtually any time of the day. Well, we may just have...
Off-Topic: 0-16 on the Way
So when the Detroit Lions set an infamous NFL record by finishing off an 0-16 season today, do you think members of the 1976 Tampa Bay Buccaneers will get together and have a champagne toast? It would kind of be like what the 1972 Miami Dolphins do every time an undefeated team fails to break...
Some Sunday Morning Perspective
I know we deal with the Detroit Tigers here at BYB, and many of our readers are fans of professional football teams in other cities. But if you're one of the poor saps who insists on suffering through this Detroit Lions season (no offense, Big Al), you might appreciate this bit of perspective...
Whatever

Off-Day Open Thread/Therapy

Off-Day Open Thread
Hey folks, how's it going? Kind of amazing to have two straight days without baseball, eh? And no All-Star Game comes with it. Since it was raining here yesterday, I couldn't resist the opportunity to take a nap with the drops pitter-pattering outside. A movie was in the plans, as well, but I...
Off-Day Open Thread/Therapy
Hey folks, how's it going? Hopefully, you had a good sleep last night. Or maybe you had a therapeutic run, kick-boxing session, or lunchtime pub-crawl to take your mind of our Detroit Tigers. The guys on the field are taking the day off, so we probably should, as well. Me, I told myself I'd...
Rainouts can be OK!
You know how when a game got rained out back in the day, and they'd show a movie? Well, since we're rained out and it's still only 9:30, let's talk recent movies you've seen. American Gangster: A modern Scarface, I thought. Low on much of anything interesting, high on image-driven B.S. that makes...
