The internet had the gaul to make fun of Peyton’s block at the end of the first half. Manning, playing with the flu, stepped in and threw an unexpected block (successfully) when his running back changed course. Oh, just the flu, you know, that forced puking Peyton to take four bags of intravenous fluids between Saturday night […]

Lions Clean Up Vikings
Almost caught us napping on America’s “Game of the Week.” Detroit trailed 14-0 to fucking Teddy Bridgewater AT HOME before storming back to finish the game with 16 unanswered points. BIG UPS to the defense, including that blocked field goal. Also, Matt Prater drained all three of his kicks, scoring ten of our sixteen. Matthew […]

Red Wings Tie for First with Shootout
Even though no one seems to attack right for our Red Wings in the shootout, it’s such an arbitrary way to end an otherwise dominating effort by Detroit. It’s just too pussy, why else don’t they do it in the playoffs? Riley Sheahan scored his seventh goal of the season to put us on the […]
Pistons & Clippers Snap Respective Streaks
The Pistons last win was AN ENTIRE MONTH AGO, if you can fathom that (hear, hear, 76ers), on Friday, November 14th in Oklahoma City. That overtime thriller where Brandon Jennings tore them apart. It’s been that long. Detroit beat the Suns in Phoenix 105-103, holding on at the buzzer. Andre Drummond led the way, and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope […]

David Simon on Capitalism
During a November 2013 speech at the Festival of Dangerous Ideas in Sydney, he said that America has become “a horror show” of savage inequality as a result of capitalism run amok, and that “unless we reverse course, the average human being is worth less on planet Earth. Unless we take stock of the fact […]
Dave Doubles Down
The Tigers GM was at it twice Thursday, trading shortstop Eugenio “Mr. Suave” Suarez along with a Whitecap for Cincinnati Reds pitcher Alfredo Simon. Suarez filled in nicely for our injured shortstop last season who will now be healthy, along with Andrew Romine as a backup. The West Michigan Whitecap was a former first round […]
“Nothing Is Given”
While visiting a children’s hospital, Dallas Cowboys cornerback Orlando Scandrick took on a nine year-old in Madden. Apparently, he took it completely seriously, going for two and kicking an onside kick with the lead. “He attempted to justify the surprise onside kick by pointing out that Cowboys fullback Tyler Clutts walked in front of the […]
Detroit Tigers Trade Rick Porcello to Red Sox for Yoenis Cespedes
For Porcello, he will greatly be missed. A young stud in our rotation, he was starting to come into his own last season with a few shutouts. The groundballer had to be traded based on need only, for the Tigers have a deep rotation but a poor outfield, especially defensively. Cespedes will provide just that. […]
Red Wings Skate Asses Off, Fall in Shootout
Detroit took 42 shots on the night; Toronto, 19. Only one went in for each team after 65 minutes of hockey. With no due respect to the Maple Leafs, they clutched and grabbed their way through regulation, uglying up the fine game of hockey our Red Wings skate so well at. Their lone goal came […]
