Motor City Sonics

Our secondary is so bad that the QB could yell out the player he's throwing it to and still get a complete pass.

This defense couldn't stop a puppy with a nerf ball.

I shut it off. This is the worst defense I've ever seen. Even worse that the Matt Patricia fiasco.

Wow, that was easy.

Sell the team' You can charge the new owner a fortune to play in your little palace. You can keep all your super-expensive parking lots It's clear you don't really want it. It's clear you don't know what you're doing It's clear the fan revolt has begun It's clear you've taken this beacon of a hockey team and turned it into a deep, dark black hole. Just sell the ****ing team. And your pizza sucks, by the way. It was never all that good to begin with. It's the option I pick two days before payday when I am down to my last and it's actually better when I reheat it in the air fryer than it is fresh (after adding a few things to it). $5 Hot-And-Readys. One of the shrewdest and smartest moves in marketing history. $5 is what it was worth - but you've cheapened the indredients since then. What you once considered pizza just became a commodity. Did you hire Dave Brandon or something?

Tonight's Lions game is a harbinger for the rest of the season. If they don't beat this Panthers team - or if they struggle to beat them - then we might be in big trouble the rest of the way. If there ever was a Get-Right Game...........

Let's keep hearing about how great Jordan Love is...........

Philly is a big East-Coast city, it's not like Detroit, Milwaukee, Indy And this coming NBA seaseon will be known for the Philly Phlop.

It's the year of the backup QB. Some guy I never heard of is playing for the Commanders. He was a 7th round pick.

Are the TV announcers paid to praise Bryce Underwood. They spend so much time trying to convince you that he's actually really good. It's really annoying. I know what I see. I see the most over-hyped player since Drew Henson, who was actually pretty good, but he was supposed to be the greatest QB in CFB history (that's really how they hyped him). Underwood looks lost. You've got an extra week to prepare. Time for TC to get the start. He might not fix it, but it's worth a look. Kyle didn't recruit Bryce and Bryce gets his money no matter what. But outsiode of Bryce Underwhelm, there are just too many mistakes. Fumbles, dropped punts and the penalties are terrible. And once you get the rep for being that penalty team - then ever single ticky-tack call will start going against you. Not blaming Kyle. You can't judge a guy on their first season - that is totally unfair. Bad as it is at MSU, you can't fire Fitz for the same reason.

What people seem to be forgetting is that for Mike Illitch the Wings and Tigers were passion projects. He wanted to win - badly and he'd take a lot of risks to get there - and he did with the Wings 4 times and almost did with the Tigers twice. Chris doesn't give a **** about winning. He cares about the money that comes in. As long as the Tigers are good enough to fill those parking lots - he's happy. The Wings - it will take a lttle longer for the fans to stop coming. The fact that people still have the nerve to call this "Hockeytown" is absurd now. This will be the year we start seeing a lot of empty seats at LCA. He can't even handle naming the stadiums right. If you are going to name your winter stadium after a corporate sponsor maybe don't take money from yourself to do it. And the baseball stadium thing. Give me a break. A player can go from playing for West Michigan at Fifth Third to being called up to Toledo to play at Fifth Third and have the big moment when they get called up to the majors to play at Fifth Third. Couldn't come up with Fifth Third Field at Kaline Park or something that calls back to the 125 year history of this team? Besides, what does Fifth Third even mean. Sounds like a monkey tried to do fractions. He can't even get the stadium names right. Hey everybody - the owner we hate named his team Fifth Third - gee, that makes me want to bank there. Look at his two teams at Trade Deadline time. Nothing. Crickets. I am not sure that was 100% on Yzerman or Harris. It might be Chris telling them to tread lightly. I'm not mad at Larkin. When they didn't make a move at the trade deadline two years ago - he and the rest of that team had every right to be pissed off. The trade demand of Larkin - The Wings leaked that because that's the kind of organization they are now. Petty as ****. Was Yzerman fired or were his hands so tied he couldn't do anything and finally said "I give up". Edvinsson stayed in the minors probably two years too long and that might be part of the reason he wants out. They wasted the early part of his career. Who would want to come to this mess? The team showing Larkin so he could be booed - that was probably the tipping point for him. The Tigers and Red Wings don't make bold moves anymore. Even when they might just need one more piece to get over the top - they don't do it. Now Brad Holmes is starting to act that way with the Lions. Who might be only 2 players away from being a great team, but he won't make bold moves. The Pistons tried, but the NBA is different. Superstar players don't want to come to a blue collar cold-weather city anymore. I'm glad they were able to re-sign the young stars they already have, but Duren is a big question mark in the postseason. Does he run out of gas or is he just too soft? The Wings are maybe the worst-run team in Hockey now. We're back to Norris family territory - when they traded guys for not getting military haircuts (not exaggerating there, they literally did that). Never thought I'd see that again. The Tigers seem to be on the right track, but may never get all the way home. Looks like they are willing to spend - but it's just on the wrong guys

Someone asked me "Aren't you rooting for Skubal?". My answer was **** NO ! To hell with him now. I don't care. He's a Dodger and I hate the Dodgers. Gee, thanks for signing Bobby Higginson Plus to $60 million a year, guys and screwing the market for any other decent hitter. I hate them. And I know that they don't even need to do that because their minor league system is so well-run. I really want the Brewers to win the whole thing - because they do things right. They're amazing at keeping their team really good without having to break the bank. We can hope that the Tigers can get to that level. Seems like they are close. Close enough that they won't need to re-sign a Skubal or overpay Riley Greene - just as his body is breaking down (which seems inevitable). The thought of the White Sox getting to the Series makes me sick because GODDAMMIT that should be US! If we had a decent bullpen ! I don't think the Tigers need to do much money-wise with their roster when baseball returns (not really looking all that different than it is right now). The Tigers are close. They need to overhaul the BACK END of that bullpen. The middle relief is fine, it's actually good. They don't need to do something stupid like pay someone like Bo Bichette 40 million a year. A solid RH outfield bat and 3 good late-inning relievers please.

If the White Sox go to the World Series I am going to be apoplectic.

Dominant 2nd period for the Wings, but they just don't have any closers on this team. Is Larkin hurt? Did he injure himself pouting?

Wow. Now I am starting to lean in the fire Brad Holmes camp. That's all it took, eh? He's not serious about winning it all.
