A YouTube Trip Down the Nostalgia Lane of Sports Classics


Pause.  Life should come with the “pause” feature, don’t you think?  Just the other day, a friend and I talked about how life seems to be running out of control without an regard to the things we want to accomplish.  Ever morning I get up and yet life never once asks me if I would [...]

It is time to get a little naughty as we peruse the sporting world and see what the hell is going on in all the major and minor sports. So buckle up because we have a douche of the week, a Tiger playing sex kitten and coaches punching umps. Oh, what a week it has been . . .

12 Days of All Things Michigan X-Mas (Oops, I mean Holiday)


Well, to honor my misery once again during this season – in which the freakin’ Wolverines are home practicing (maybe that is why they log so many hours?) – I have decided to make up my own “12 Days of Christmas” carol, for the things I want for my All Things Michigan Sports X-mas – after all, I am a huge Michigan Wolverine, Detroit Tigers, Detroit Lions, Detroit Red Wings, Detroit Pistons and what the hell, even a Detroit Shock fan too – WTF? They moved to Oklahoma? I don’t like women’s basketball anyway.

Detroit bids farewell to Curtis Granderson


The rich get richer. ESPN is reporting that the Yankees acquired Curtis Granderson in a three team deal involving the Tigers and Diamondbacks. When I first heard the Tigers were trading Granderson, I was upset. With Stevie Y and Chauncey Billups gone, Curtis Granderson was probably the most popular player in Detroit sports. But, like the Chauncey era last year, Granderson’s time in Detroit came to an end via trade.
