Can you imagine March without madness? What if every year, the NCAA only allowed the four #1 seeds to play in the tourney. It would be soooo boring. Yet, since college football BEGAN, we’ve tolerated an inept system that doesn’t provide a playoff. I have been looking through old Michigan years; apparently, if you didn’t […]
This was a difficult road stretch for Detroit – in Boston, Colorado, Tampa Bay, and finally Toronto tonight. We beat the Bruins, lost 1-0 (2-0 with the empty netter) to the Avs in a throwback physical battle, surrendered a two-goal lead (twice) to fall in a shootout vs. the Lightning, then took down the Maple […]

I wish her the best tonight, but no matter what, we’ve all been changed forever from this young British rock star, […]
It’s always been a bit hard to justify the over-priced, sweatshop created Nike shoes, until their latest ad. Fitting Ethan and I would pull a dual Nike swoosh jersey card (the only one in the world) just a week ago in a pack of basketball cards. Thank you, Nike, for putting Colin Kaepernick back to […]
