I’m…concerned about…seeing…who are the real Detroit Tigers
That quote is from team owner Mike Illitch. This season comes to a merciful end tonight and then the work to strip away the detritus and find the core of this team begins. Some moves have already been made.
Many more can be expected this offseason. The Tigers will need to find pitching […]
The Good, Bad and Ugly for Michigan’s Offense
The Good
Somehow, Michigan has found a way to run the football. The team was obviously brutal during their opening game against Utah. That isn’t a shock given the youth across the entire offense and the fact the Utes boast the #5 ranked rush defense. But look at their stats since that game:
Rushing […]
Farewell, Reg
If you grew up during the late ’70s and early ’80s you witnessed an era of filmmaking that would make Orson Welles blush. But movies like Caddyshack and Slapshot and Airplane! were great in the same way that in your adolescence you thought Kiss was the greatest rock and roll band ever.
Slapshot […]
500th Big House game one for the ages

The Big Ten opener started off looking a lot like the opening game against Utah and the last game against Notre Dame. The Wolverines couldn’t run the ball at all - much like the game against the Utes - and were far too generous turning the ball over as was the case in […]
Red Wings lose 3rd preseason game
The big story this offseason was the acquisition of Marian Hossa. But the storyline has altered with the start of the preseason schedule. Now the focus is on the defensemen battling it out for a roster spot. Last night the Red Wings sat their top 5 d-men and let the younger guys […]
The name game: Tom Heckert
Part two in a semi-regular look at guys who could potentially replace Matt Millen.
Tom Heckert’s only been a general manager in Philadelphia for 2.5 years and final personnel decisions rest with head coach Andy Reid, not Heckert. So he doesn’t have a lot of high-end experience leading a franchise, although he’s obviously much more […]
Red Wings even up preseason record
The biggest thing that has jumped out at me - other than breathing a huge sigh of relief that Nick Lidstrom looks like he’ll be alright after taking a puck to the face - is that Brett Lebda has been generating offense. Now this needs to be tempered by the knowledge he’s not playing […]
The name game: Floyd Reese
With lots of commentary on guys the Lions should go after to fill their GM spot, I figured I’d throw my opinion out there. Because I totally know Bill Ford Jr. checks Gorilla Crouch out to see what I’m thinking.
You cannot argue with Floyd Reese’s track record. He took a franchise that moved […]
Next step: Urgency
Do not hurry, do not rest - Goethe
The single most important decision the Detroit Lions will make will be whether they solicit the NFL for guidance in choosing their new general manager. There is no one in the organization who can really claim to have a good handle on what it takes to turn […]
