Posted Friday October 02, 2009, About: Iverson: Pistons lied to me

When Iverson came to Detroit, he said that he would do whatever it took to win here, even show up for practice. Then he didn't show for a practice, didn't call and had no excuse. The fans knew this was a cap move, so we tolerated it. But this boy deserves no respect. Memphis is prefect for him. Both are losers.

Posted Sunday November 23, 2008, About: Red Sox, Tigers talking deal

I'm sure Red Sox fans won't believe this, but this proposed trade favors the Tigers. Willis can not throw the ball over the plate. Bases loaded with 3 walks, 3-0 to their 9th hitter, batter taking all the way, I've seen Willis throw it in the dirt. You simply can't pitch him. Please make the trade.

Dapper Dan said it best. If the Stones were to get this cherry picking, matador-defense playing,shot hog, it would bring us closer to the the Lottery than to a ring. It would be cheaper to sign Latrelle Sprewell. I'm sure his kids are still hungry.

Posted Tuesday July 08, 2008, About: Twins not looking to trade

If the Twinkies want to shore up their infield, please take Renteria off the Tiger's hands. Why we traded a talent like Jurjens for this bottom-heavy has-been, I'll never know.

Sundin sure would look good with the winged wheel on his chest. The Red Wings have the cap room. Load up!

Posted Wednesday June 25, 2008, About: Source: Pistons seek Davis trade

The Pistons don't need more talent, they need more heart. That's what Joe saw in the playoffs. The problem is Sheed. No body has more talent in this league. He brought us a ring. But now his attitude is keeping us from another. I would trade him for draft pick if we could. Remember, we gave up nothing to get him. Portland warned us that we would love him at first and end up hating later. They were right.
And he is not going anywhere. Curry loves him and they just signed his college roommate as a coach. I say cut him. Play Amir Johnson more, start Stuckey, trade Billups for Baron(same player, new attitude).

Posted Monday June 02, 2008, About: Why Malkin plays more than Crosby

Half of the Pens just seem happy to be there. They'll learn.
You have to play with the passion that Zetterberg showed on the 5-3.
The only thing the Wings are obstructing is the Pens from raising the cup!
Go Wings

Posted Monday March 10, 2008, About: Cal questions Shipp's circus shot

Was that Brent Musburger and Steve Lavin calling the game? They gushed about that shot so much, openly acknowledging that it came from behind the backboard.
Brent's an idiot but shouldn't a former coach have at least known the rule?

Posted Friday January 18, 2008, About: Slim chance for Cassell trade

Instead of trading for the Cassell attitude, Flip Murrey could be had from the Pistons for nothing. He is serviceable and occasionally fantastic. Can create his own shot like Cassell. But like Cassell, doesn't know when to stop. Currently caught in a bench youth movement in Detroit. Light contract. I can think of worse players to be your 9th man.
