Gridiron: A Month Until D-Day

As the action of the NFL offseason is beginning to fade, we can now look forward to the NFL Draft, which will begin on April 28th. Will the Lions take QB Brady Quinn? Or will they pick another wide receiver? Perhaps they will even trade the pick away. It remains to be seen, however the [...]

Blueline: Wings Overtake Preds

Four games will determine the Western Conference. After defeating Nashville 2-1 on Thursday, the Red Wings tied the Predators atop the standings. Last night, not only did the Wings fall to Dallas in a shootout, but they also lost defenseman Niklas Kronwall, who injured his right hip on a check by Joel Lundqvist. For their [...]

Leftovers: Phelps Has Medals in His Pocket, His Mind on More

Michael Phelps has been unstoppable at the swim worlds this week. Through six races, he has won six gold medals, and set several world records. He’s only 21-years-old, so there is a good chance we’ll see him at the next Olympics. Phelps has two races remaining. Although swimming is not generally something I follow closely, [...]

Around the Bases: Tigers Lose Rogers, Extend Guillen

Suddenly, things aren’t looking as bright for the Tigers. The veteran lefty who dazzled audiences on a national stage in the playoffs last season, Kenny Rogers, was placed on the 15 day disabled list yesterday, citing “arm fatigue.” Indeed, the sub-headline on the Tigers’ page breaking the story was far too optimistic in its prediction [...]

Center Court 3.28.07: Sheedtacular

OK, so the title of this post is a bad knockoff of Sheedtastic, but it just would not feel right taking someone else’s catch phrase. Need4Sheed has enough going for them, including the readership of Mark Cuban. Blogosphere aside, if ever there was a more ridiculous shot than Rasheed Wallace’s 60 [...]

Around the Bases: Opening Day Roster Finalized

One week from today, the Detroit Tigers will open their 2007 Major League regular season. The team is mainly in tact following last year’s AL Pennant, and I will make my prediction now. While everyone in the American League Central that does not wear a blue jersey and hail from KC has a legitimate shot [...]

Blueline: Photo Finish in the Central

The Detroit Red Wings have reached 101 points through 75 games. The Nashville Predators have reached 103 points in their 76 games. The two teams are in position for what will likely be a photo finish in the Central Division, as both shift into high gear for the playoffs and the number one spot. Not [...]

We Could All Use More Linebacker…

It was a relatively slow day in Detroit Sports, so why not spend a few minutes watching the above video? You may remember the Super Bowl commercial based off Terry Tate from a few years ago, it was one of the top three of all time, and is a timeless classic. Even better than the [...]
