Game|Housekeeping: A Note On Comment SpamWe understand that our comment spam filters have been beefed up, in order to keep out all the junk comments and garbage that we've been having as we get more popular and thus more enticing to griefers.

I apologize for the lack of posts the last day or so, as real life has gotten in the way.I just wanted to warn you few diehards that visit TWFE on a regular basis that posting will soon stop for a few days. You'll be going cold turkey (To be honest, so will I), as The Wayne Fontes Experience will be on hiatus from Thursday 12/20, through Sunday 12/23. But it's for a very good reason...I'm leaving the D tomorrow morning for a long weekend, and heading to one of my favorite cites in the entire known universe, Las Vegas! I know the holidays are right around the corner, but who's going to turn down a trip to Vegas? Anyone? Didn't think so.I'll be staying at the parent's time share on the (Far south end of the) strip, and expect hope to be liquored up the vast majority of the time. I'll have internet and email access through my trusty Sprint Ambassador approved Samsung phone, so I can check/answer email, upload any pictures to TWFE I may take while in a drunken haze, post beer fueled rants
As you’re browsing the site (unless you read off the feed!), you’ll notice I’ve changed a few things around. As I gear up for the new year, I’m doing a little changing here, a little housekeeping there. I’ve added some great blogs to my blogroll (scroll down and look on the right!), put up a [...]
It being the Thanksgiving holiday and all, I'm expecting the remainder of this week to be relatively quiet at TWFE.As for my normal stream of consciousness blogging of tomorrow's Lions game, I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to so as of yet.I don't have big plans for Turkey Day, just headed to my mother's for dinner. But I'm not sure what time dinner is scheduled. I'm always the last to know. But I digress...If we eat late in the afternoon, I plan on live blogging the game. If it's earlier, don't expect much of anything on TWFE till Friday, and even then, it may not be much. Anyway, I'm sure I'll be able to plan my blogging activities soon, as my mom does read the blog. Hi Mom!If there is a time to take a short breather from writing, the coming long weekend is as good as any. Then again, if something happens over the next few days (Wolverines coaching rumors, Tigers sign a FA/make a trade, Lions stupidity, etc...), or just feel suitably inspired, I'll be sure to hit the keyboard run
It's going to be a quiet day at TWFE, as I'll be away from the PC till late this afternoon. That also means no "Above the Fold" link dump today. Bear with me for a couple of other notes...It doesn't look like there will be much in the way of my normal Sunday cornucopia of Lions blogging, as I'll be at a family get together. I'll be watching the Lions game at a joint birthday party for my soon to be 3 year old nephew, and soon to be 1 year older, absolutely ancient in blogger years, me. I'm sure I'll come up with something, but there won't be my quarter by quarter, stream of consciousness, ramblings.I have to say I was thrilled by the "Circle the wagons for the Tigers blogosphere" response to the Chris McCoskey BS. The tightness of the Detroit blogger community is a big reason why I enjoy working on TWFE daily. The fact that all of the local bloggers who emailed McCosky never received any sort of acknowledgment, just the lame kinda-sorta-but-not-really apology buried in the web only pa
I've been wrestling with a severe case of writer's block the last few days. Even when I did get something posted, it was a struggle to do so. Between you and me, whenever I write an "Inside Millen's brain" installment, it's often due to the fact that my idea well has run dry. There's been nothing but fumes in that well for several days.I think that it has something to do with the current Detroit sports landscape. The Wolverines are rarely on TV, we all know the story as to why, so no need going there again. Ask yourself how fired up are you about Michigan playing the 1-7 Gophers tomorrow? As bad as the Big 10 is this season, in a year when a MAC school would finish mid pack in the conference, Minnesota is still unable to field a competitive team. Not exactly the most compelling matchup of the weekend. At least WXYZ is doing the fans a solid, and picking up the ESPN Classic feed of the game for all the Comcast and Charter subscribers who can't get the 4 letter's network of last resort.
Mike McClary's latest "The Detroit Tigers Podcast" has been posted, and available for your listening pleasure. (Via download and iTunes) It's titled "The Big Al Roundtable Experience." (Aww, jeez. I'm humbled...)This dissection of the Tigers features "The Daily Fungo" crew, Mike, Doug, and Josh, Ian from "Bless You Boys," and obviously, going by the title, yours truly. I hope you all enjoy the podcast as much as I had in participating.As you probably noticed, I'm trying a few different advertising ideas at TWFE. I've integrated some Google Adsense links, and became an Amazon affiliate. I'll try to keep that sort of thing as unobtrusive as possible. But please, feel free to click on a few of the sidebar links, as I need a new PC food rent beer money!As you can also tell, I'm tinkering with the look and feel of TWFE. Ive been playing with the picture header, messing with the font, and added my Twitter feed, as I'm belatedly jumping onto the Web 2.0 bandwagon. TWFE will continue
It's been a while since I did a housekeeping post, and for some reason today seemed like a good time to do so.First, a couple of personal updates.On a serious note, I just wanted to send my condolences out to those affected by the University of Michigan Survival Flight plane crash. The tragedy hit a little closer to home here at TWFE, as someone close to me lost a good friend in the accident. They are going through a very difficult time, as you might expect.When tragedy like this strikes, it can be difficult to put your feelings into meaningful words. All I can say is that those brave Survival Flight team members, who do a vital, important, and thankless job, are in our thoughts.You all probably remember back in February when my housing situation became quite unsettled, to put it mildly. Well, 3+ months have now passed, and everything is cool.I really like my new place (Soon to be totally remodeled as well), I'm getting to see some very old friends again (It's been fun attempting t
