detsports.net revival

Maybe I will revive this site?

The Lions need to hire an experienced head coach, NOT an up and coming coordinator. And Mike Shanahan from the Broncos just got canned.

Pistons are finally rolling, but it’s time for Rip to come off the bench.

I think I may be starting to get into the Wings a bit now, but just a bit.

What on God’s green earth are the Tigers doing this off-season? It makes no sense, at all. Dombrowski had a few good years with lucky moves, gets slapped with a genius label and a can-do-no-wronger and now he’s making a fool out of himself with the moves he’s made the past two years. I’ll break it down later.

Even though they lost the Big Ten opener, I’m totally pumped about Michigan basketball this year. And the Spartans are looking great too. How sweet of a matchup will those two be this year, and they only meet once in the regular season.

Mmm-mmm! That cornbread is smelling good!

Detroit is dominating the NFL pre-season so far, which means that it’s time to fire up that oven for some good ol’ Lions cornbread!

This is my favorite part of the season, when everybody is tied for first. We ALWAYS believe that THIS is the year, that the Lions will finally turn it around. We never give up hope. We love the Lions unconditionally, almost as much as we love the back-up quarterback – and this year it looks like it will be hometown star Drew Stanton.

Just read what Mike O’Hara from detnews.com wrote about the Lions - predicting they will win 9 games this year easily, and that Calvin Johnson is one of the top ten players in the NFL, even better than Adrian Peterson.

I love it!

Olympics is Sports Heaven

Totally don’t care about the Tigers right now, the Lions pre-season, or the stagnant Pistons, because the Olympics are on.

It really doesn’t get any better than this. The personalities of the athletes, the small stories the press digs up, the competition, the glory, the pressure, the patriotism, the world unity, the spirit of this historic event – man, it just doesn’t get any better.

It seems as if the athletes are always evolving, it’s 2008 and everybody’s faster, stronger, more amazing.

Every night, just turn on the TV and watch any event – it really doesn’t matter. My Lazy Boy rocker recliner and my flat screen are two of the geatest purchases I’ve ever made.

The Olympics – there’s nothing like it.

Why the hell don’t the Lions go after Brett Farve?

What would it hurt to get Brett Farve? Reports say that the Jet’s are willing to trade a 4th round pick for the HOF’er. Just a fourth rounder?

Why don’t the Lions take a stab at it? Offer a 3rd rounder, or hey, even their number one pick for him. Farve would sell tickets for the Fords and we’d all love him like Barry. Millen would blow the pick anyway.

Pistons possible starting lineups

Writing my posts tonight from the blackberry, in the lazy boy, watching the Tigers down in the basement. Sweet!

Possible Pistons starting lineups? You know Michael Curry’s going with a new starting lineup right? You know Joe D is the head assistant coach this year, right? I’m telling you there will be a new starting lineup this year.

I’ve been making lineups in my head lately – here are some I’ve come up with:

1 – Stuckey
2 – Billups
3 – Hamilton
4 – Prince
5 – Wallace

1 – Stuckey
2 – Billups
3 – Hamilton
4 – Maxiell
5 – Brown
(Prince 6th man)

1 – Billups
2 – Afflalo
3 – Prince
4 – Maxiell
5 – Wallace
(Stuckey/Hamilton super backcourt subs)

I’ll add more later, you make up your own!

RIP 2008 Tigers

You know, it’s alright! I can now watch the games for fun, without stressing over the playoffs. You know, like what we’re all used to, like the good old days of sucking every year.

Still love you Tigers! At least put on a great home run fireworks show for the end of the summer. Powertrain, you got it in you for another hot streak?

Pudge Traded For Farnsworth? Are You F-ing Kidding Me?

I just can’t believe this trade.  I’m so pissed right now.  Pudge was having an awesome year, batting .295 and catching a great game as usual. He’s a hall-of-famer still  in the back-end of his prime. And to trade him for Kyle Farnsworth? Dombroski said that Inge is the new #1 everyday catcher and will be next year. Why? An absolutely horrible, stupid move that seriously pisses me off.
