There has been a lot of talk about Rich Rodriguez’s statements about not being nostalgic about running out from the tunnel and touching the GO BLUE banner at midfield before the start of the team’s football games. I think what he likely meant was he wasn’t emotional about envisioning that scenario, a scene that […]
Ace of Sports has begun round two for their tournament to determine the top athlete in Detroit sports over the past decade. Right now Nicklas Lidstrom is going up against Magglio Ordonez with the winner moving on to the finals. This should be an easy victory for Lidstrom as Ordonez has spent most […]
I mentioned that Michael Phelps was likely to copy that famous Mark Spitz pose. Sports Illustrated got on that right away:
Very nice. The UofM websites have given Phelps a Buckstache.
Staying briefly in the Buckeye state before washing like 300 times to make it all go away, Bethany over at Bethany’s Hockey Rants received […]
Thanks for going over to Ace of Sports and voting in the tournament they are hosting to determine the best athlete in Detroit over the last decade. When I posted yesterday Stevie Y [an absolute legend beyond any shadow of a doubt] was ahead 61% to 39%. I just checked and Lidstrom is […]
That is the case I made over at Ace of Sports where they are conducting a tournament where fans will vote for the best athlete in Detroit over the past decade. Christy over at Behind the Jersey did a writeup for Steve Yzerman and Stevie Y holds a 61% to 39% lead.
I’m a huge […]

That’s a quote from Michael Phelps shortly after his time-warping victory in the 100 meter fly final. Belief is a common theme in sports, with just about every team and their fanbase believing this year is their year - from the Chicago Cubs and their fans to the Detroit Lions and their […]
Due to getting whaled upon while trying to run with the football.

…there’s another new element to the offense that won’t grab many headlines but must be effective if the offense is going to click: the running ability of quarterback Jon Kitna.
Yes, that’s right, the running ability of a soon-to-be 36-year-old player who […]
Yesterday I took a look at how I think the top two lines might be put together. Today I’ll focus on the power play. Last season the Red Wings finished #3 overall as measured by the best Power Play success rates during the regular season. They dropped to 9th overall during the […]
We can assume a couple things: one, if Mike Babcock decides to keep the top line of Zetterberg, Datsyuk and Holmstrom together then it’s a sure bet Franzen, Filppula and Hossa will play together; and two, that the inevitable injuries that occur will give a few other skaters shots at playing on one of the […]
