Random thoughts on the Detroit Sports scene

Lots of stuff going on so I decided to write one post to give my take on each topic.

University of Michigan Football

I found all of the sniping and griping following the Michigan-Michigan State game to be as profoundly boring as - well - Mike DeBord’s offense. It’s times like this that I’m glad I […]

Joe Dumars has completed his two biggest offseason moves by signing Chauncey Billups and Amir Johnson to new contracts. There were rumors there was considerable interest from other teams for both players, but no real threats materialized to throw […]

Pistons Summer Camp Coverage

J-Max doing damage

Bad Boys Summer Camp is doing a great job covering the Pistons during the summer camp that’s taking place in Las Vegas. Their coverage includes video footage from the games. Jason Maxiell has several thunderous dunks in the clip from game 2, which Detroit won 80-78.

Pistons Draft Rodney Stuckey with #15 Pick and Arron Afflalo at #27

Stuckey can play the 1 and 2

The Pistons selected the player many draft pundits pegged them to pick by taking Rodney Stuckey out of Eastern Washington. Stuckey is a good pick as he can play either guard position and has the ability to create his own shot and drive to the rack, which will […]

Touring the Detroit Sports Scene

The Diceman Opteth [out] Attempts a Free Throw!

Paul over at Kuklas Korner reports that Ken Holland was on the air and talked about his efforts to sign some of his unrestricted free agents. I just saw that Christy over at Behind the Jersey attended the NHL Draft. You can read her article here. […]

Dumars going with Double Secret Probation?

Joe Dumars plays the role of Dean Vernon Wormer

The reference is here. Chad Ford sat down with Joe Dumars to talk about the Eastern Conference Finals series against Cleveland and what the team needs to do to get reclaim the top spot in the conference.
Ford throws out a bad 80’s reference and Joe D […]

Sports fans Prepare to Contest Ticket Tax

[Via Shapshots] the Free Press is reporting that Michigan govenor Jennifer Granholm and the Democratic leadership is considering an option to levy a 6% tax on tickets to all sports, music, movie and entertainment tickets. Red Wings and Detroit Tigers owner Mike Illitch opposes the tax.

Fans Against Ticket Taxes launched its campaign Thursday, led […]

Carlos Delfino sent Packing

Delfino never developed in Detroit

Hopefully this isn’t the only move Joe Dumars has in store. I don’t think trading a guy who averaged a little over 1 point a game in the Eastern Conference Finals and played just over 5 minutes a game is going to have much of an impact. The Pistons […]

Matrix for Sheed?

Matrix makes the rim respect his authoritah

Yahoo Sports has a blurb on a trade rumor between the Phoenix Suns and the Detroit Pistons. The rumor was originally published in this AZCentral.com article. Here are the basic details.

[Shawn] Marion’s name also has surfaced in trade rumors with the Detroit Pistons, who would send forward-center […]

Flip the Switch

Hey no fair, you guys are suppsed to play matador defense like Detroit!

Years from now southern Californians will look back on Thursday, June 7th fondly as the day the Stanley Cup came to town Paris Hilton was released from jail. Detroit sports fans will likely look back on June 1, 2007 as the day […]
