Head(band) Case?
Let's see, Ben Wallace's minutes are declining, as is his performance, he and his coach can't agree on headwear and the Bulls, once thought to be one of the up-and-comers in the NBA, are heading straight downward. While Wallace's former employer, the Detroit Pistons, look utterly beatable every nigh...

Bring On Round Two
I understand that when presented with the possibility of an Ohio State versus Michigan rematch in the national championship game, Florida head coach Urban Meyer suggested that if such a game took place the NCAA should immediately institute a playoff format for this year. I hate to rain on Meyer's pi...

Harbaugh On The Farm
I just read that former Michigan star and ex-NFL QB Jim Harbaugh is going to be named Stanford's head coach tomorrow. I think selecting Harbaugh is an excellent move on the part of The Cardinal administration. Harbaugh is a younger coach with a solid background and ties to the program. I'm not a ...

OU Prevails
Oakland University beat Oral Roberts 85-84 in OT tonight. Forgive my partisan view, but it's a huge win for the Golden Grizzlies. ORU is the dominant power in the conference and Oakland has struggled to hang with them. To pull off a win, even a tight, perhaps controversial, home win is a step in t...

Part Of My Detroit Lions Makeover Plan
Just in case someone from the Ford Family stops by, I want them to know that if I was named as Matt Millen's replacement with the Detroit Lions, I do have a plan heading into the 2007 season. For the sake of this discussion, I'll limit my thoughts to player acquistion via the draft. However, don't ...

Tigers Need To Sign Bonderman Now
Don't the Detroit Tigers need to sign Jeremy Bonderman, pronto? After seeing the Texas Rangers shell out $33 million over three years to Vincente Padilla and amid rumors that Ted Lilly could command ten million a season, I believe the Tigers can't get Bonderman to sign an extension quickly enough.I c...

We Have A Race
Since the announcement was made that the Detroit Grand Prix was returning, I've been waiting for a website to pop-up. Earlier this week, I finally found it. Detroit GP.com lives. It's offers your standard options -- race map, ticket information, sponsorship opportunities, etc...Now, the question be...

Chicago State?
(Editor's Note: I realize that most of you care as much about Oakland University basketball as you do soccer and curling. However, as I write about the other two, allow me this moment to type briefly about my school's basketball team.)Let me see if I have this correct. Oakland is up 17, on their ho...

It's Time
Fire Millen.It's been a chant. A desperate plea. A rallying cry. It's even become a bit of a cultural phenomenon -- having arisen at sporting events not only in Detroit, but throughout the country.Now, it's taken the next step. It's the only logical course of action.I cannot give you a single reason ...

It's All Over
Hockey season unofficially began in Detroit today.The baseball season has, for all intents and purposes, ended with the Cleveland Indians three game sweep of the Tigers. Yes, there is still a possibility the Tigers could make it to the playoffs. There is also a possibility I could win the lottery. Al...

Redding Move Seems Short Sighted
I don't like the Detroit Lions using the franchise player tag on Cory Redding. I understand he's starting to look like a better than average player. Yet, I still can't justify the Detroit Lions giving him the franchise tag. To be more specific, I can't see giving him franchise tag player money. ...

The Sheff Deal
It's hard not to like the Detroit Tigers acquisition of Gary Sheffield. While, Sheffield has never been one of my favorites, he's a great hitter. Not a good hitter. A great hitter. When your career average is .298 and you are only forty-five homers short of 500, you qualify as a Hall of Fame caliber ...

Week Two Lions Prediction
Detroit Lions 24 Minnesota Vikings 21The key to tomorrow's game for Detroit? Stopping Adrian Peterson. I expect the Vikings offensive game plan to consist of A.P. running right, center and left. And, on occasion, they will throw to their prized rookie coming out of the backfield. That's it. Well, I suppose if Peterson can throw, we may see a halfback option pass, too.I have...

Bonderman Out?
In his post-game press conference, Jim Leyland said that he may put Jeremy Bonderman on the shelf for the remainder of the season. The doctors say Bonderman's elbow is fine, but Leyland thought today's horrific outing suggested the contrary. I know Bonderman has pitched lousy for weeks, but if he sits the rest of September, the Tigers chances to make the post-season wouldn...

Franchitti Jumps To NASCAR?
Et tu, Dario?ESPN.com is reporting that Indianapolis 500 winner Dario Franchitti will leave Indy Car for NASCAR in 2008. Franchitti, who is leading the Indy Car season series point chase heading into tomorrow's final race, is said to be joining Chip Ganassi's NASCAR team in the number 40 car.At first glance, this annoys me. Why? Because I like open wheel racing. I grew...

First Lions Prediction
Oakland Raiders 17 Detroit Lions 14Oh, how I hope I'm wrong. I also hope that this isn't the Lions first game in the Brian Brohm Bowl Championship Series. Although, come to think of it, Brohm has looked pretty good. Seriously, the difference between the Raiders and Middle Tennessee State isn't all that....ok, forget that.As for the game itself, I tend to believe the Lions...

Belated Detroit Grand Prix Pics
Two-time Indianapolis 500 winner Helio Castroneves in Turn # 6. Castroneves captured the pole at the Detroit Belle Isle Grand Prix, but crashed during the race. Both of Grand Prix promoter Roger Penske's cars are having tough seasons. I think it's safe to say that both Castroneves and Hornish are having disappointing seasons. (I fully expect Hornish to make the NASCAR jump...

Voting For Bonderman
When the "Who's Your Tiger?" is posed, I give Curtis Granderson serious consideration. I've always been a Sean Casey fan, too. How can you not love Justin Verlander? However, the answer to that thought provoking query for me is Jeremy Bonderman.As such, when I learned that Bonderman was overlooked for the American League All-Star Team, I was disappointed. Not shocked...
