Radial J48

Using a direct box is something that not many realize how beneficial it is for recording, as well as using on stage. Offering plenty of head room for bass guitars and anything else, the radial j48 direct box brings a sound that makes everything just work better for you. Both in the studio while recording and while on stage to give you the proper relay of all your instruments and vocals. A direct box to clean up the signal quality in any studio is a must have for any serious musician.

Bill Simmons and Jalen Rose Pistons Preview

Love Grantland so much. Simmons does a wonderful job of writing and this year they are doing 15 minute previews of every team in order. Jalen looking like he needs some harvey jewelry.

They have the Pistons checking in at 12 overall, which puts them in the playoffs this year.

They got screwy after the top 15 and started to list them in weird sets. Just look at the bottom of the page and see "Jalen's latest" to find the next ones. 30-16 start here:

Lions Play as Bad a Half as You Can and Still Only down by 1

Week 1, Lions v. Vikings must have been one of the ugliest halves of LIONS football I have seen and that is saying a lot. Incredibly, even with all their mistakes they still ended the half only down by 1!

Can't get a 1st on 3rd and 1.

First drive bobbled a FG

Next play AP goes 80 yards for a TD.

Get down there again and go for it on 4th and 1. Penalty. Kick FG

Calvin drops TD

Suh blows pick 6 with clipping.

Stafford throws pick

Pettigrew drops one pass and fumbles the next.

Personal foul for Delmas

tradeshow printed throws here

Bently drops Pick 6.

Aborted fetuses all over the place, and they were losing by 1.

Then the 2nd half starts and they take their 1st two possessions down for TDs to go up 27-17. Reggie Bush is having a massive debut game. Just taking a long 3rd down dump off the distance for the score. Been a long time since we have seen a guy accelerate away from the defense in the open field. What we've been missing ever since we lost Jhavid Best.

Miggy Triple Crown Watch?

Highly doubtful he can come to it this year. The nagging injuries he has right now combined with the Tigers starting to stretch their division lead heading into the final 7 weeks makes it hard for him to end up getting the ABs he'll need as long as Chris Davis keeps up his HR pace.

Of course you never know. Last year Hamilton went crazy and had another set of pansy injuries that shelved him a lot during the last month to allow Miggy to pass him over in HRs. While the HRs seem to be the most difficult part with him trailing Davis by 6 right now, he actually only leads Davis in RBIs by one as well. If the Tigers wrap up the division a week early that's a lot of ABs to go without and the RBIs will be the one that will fall the fastest. Davis could go into a slump down the last 45 games, or so, sure and god forbid he'll need an personal injury attorney in san diego because of some terrible accident, but Miggy could miss time too. The Triple Crown with Miggy could be bad news for the Tigers. It would mean that he's still having to play every night all the way until the end with the division race actually being a race again.
