Motown Bombers

A 3rd seed would be clinched if the Lions lose and the 49ers and Eagles win. If the Lions lose, it's probably a 99% probably they get the 3rd seed.

It seems so fitting that Gores would talk up what the Pistons do in the community and then turn around and trade for Miles Bridges.

I don't think I want to face the Rams in the playoffs since the whole lead up to the game will be all about Matthew Stafford and Kelly will be all over local news channels.

What's wild is 3 of those 4 teams have played in multiple championships each in the same time period.

Sean Payton sends like a bigger douche than I thought. I'm surprised how Dan Campbell came from that tree.

I think the Going to Work Pistons are absolutely iconic. We hadn't seen a team like that before or since. A rag tag team from the island of misfit toys went and dominated the Shaq and Kobe Lakers, and Karl Malone and Gary Payton for good measure, and literally ended the Shaq and Kobe era and sent Phil Jackson into a brief retirement. They weren't just a flash in the pan as they damn near won it the next year. That team changed the league in the same way the Bad Boys did. The league didn't want to see a team held to 56 points in a playoff game so they changed the rules to eventually what we have now. People remember that team. 20 years later I see young people look back at those finals and that team. Their iconic value is in the fact they didn't have an iconic player.

Micah Parsons and Jerry Jones are whining about not having holding penalties called. Expect a lot of flags.

From what I gather there have been more things going on with him, but you can't just go and do your own thing and then almost screw it up.

I think the word he was looking for was fitting.

If the Tigers are considered storied, so are the Pistons. Pistons have 3 championships since the Tigers last won one and only have one fewer championship overall despite the Tigers have over 50 years on them since the Pistons moved to Detroit.

Russell Wilson has been benched. Seems to be a Derek Carr situation. Broncos probably didn't want his contract to become guaranteed due to injury. Will likely cut him in the offseason. Still a massive cap hit.

I got tickets to the ALCS in 2011 pretty cheap right before the game. RF bleachers. I think people were deflated since the Tigers lost the first two in Texas.

But he's likely not as involved in the community.

I can't believe Ben Johnson wants to be paid more than Monty Williams.

It was huge wrapping it up now. Had they lost, you then go into a tough game in Dallas and look at a winner take all at the end of the season. There's also a good chance the Rams and Seattle don't lose again and they run the risk of missing the playoffs entirely. That kind of collapse was not unrealistic.

I still contend the worst thing to happen to this franchise was trading Billups. It seems like that was when Dumars completely lost his marbles and the franchise was never the same.

Meh, when I think about the 0-16 Lions, I think about Millen and not the players. Dan Campbell was on that team and did all right. Weaver and Williams will own this. They aren't getting another job after this.

And they all showed up to the arena.
