Posted Monday October 06, 2008, About: Hossa sidelined by injury
Losing a guy like Hossa, even for one game, can hurt any team. But the Wings will be hurt less than any other team in the league.

Recover quickly, Hossa. The train is about to leave the station.
Posted Sunday October 05, 2008, About: Rodriguez: 'This is ridiculous'
Maybe, just maybe, after two or three years, RichRod will be a Meesh - e - gun coach. Maybe, just maybe, I'll be eating crow in two or three years. But it seems now like the UMich athletic program has jumped off a bridge and taken the bridge down too.
Posted Friday October 03, 2008, About: Why Lions won't start Stanton
Even with Millen out, we are still getting the same old song-and-dance from the Lions. Clearly the housecleaning still needs to get to the attic and the cellar.
Posted Thursday October 02, 2008, About: Curry coaching through grief
To work, or to take off time to mend? People are different and what works for one may not work for another. I hope Curry and Dumars have figured out what works best for Curry.
Posted Friday September 26, 2008, About: Why Yzerman won't be Leafs GM
Actally, Stevie Y is just waiting for Dumars to refuse the offer to preside over the Lions so that he can take the job. Go man, van gogh.
Posted Friday September 26, 2008, About: Should Lions hire Dumars?
Perhaps the article was pointing out that there are two distinct things the Lions need - direction as an organization and personnel on the bench and on the field. Dumars could provide the first and motivate the second.

But it ain't gonna happen. As stupid as the Lions are, they might try to hire JoeD. But JoeD isn't stupid. I'll put real money he stays with the Pistons.
Posted Wednesday September 24, 2008, About: Hossa already impressing Red Wings
Hossa is a fine player and would be valued highly by almost any NHL team. As far as the talent-rich Wings are concerned, however, he is a journeyman and a rental player.

I wish you the best, Hossa. Just remember that you are just one of the boys.
Posted Tuesday September 23, 2008, About: Stewart's deal upsets some at WVU
I wonder if we are seeing the same UWV incompetence with Stewart that led to the pushing out of RichRod. UWV may be "family," but they haven't a clue about how to treat family members.
Posted Monday September 22, 2008, About: Leyland: Don't expect big Tigers signing
Perhaps the saddest thing here is that Tiger senior management doesn't seem to have a clue about what is happening with the team.

(Neither do I, but I am not applying for a front office position.)
Posted Saturday September 20, 2008, About: Wings not worried about Hossa's back
And in a related story, the Maple Leafs are not worried about a torn fingernail on the pinky of the left hand of Mats Sundin.
Posted Saturday September 20, 2008, About: Michigan chasing Georgia commitment
It used to be in the "bad old days" that a commitment was exactly that. Now, I don't know. How many "decommits" does a recruit get? If a recruit decommits. can he recommit to the same school he decommitted from? Will the world ever return to sanity?
Posted Friday September 19, 2008, About: Millen: Lions have my back
I have confidence in Millen, too. The teams he has fielded have been consistent. Under his management, betting on Lions games has been profitable. I'm not sure I could stand the uncertainty of knowing that the Pussycats might win some weekend.

Special admiration is due to his selection of coaches. It would have been so easy to slip up and hire one along the way who actually had a chance of competing for a season. But you must admit that he has had his share of luck along the way. Even the most consistent hiring philosophy will likely get an inconsistent head coach at one time or another.
Posted Thursday September 18, 2008, About: Report: Lions met with Alexander
Anybody want to buy a pre-owned pro football team. Cheap. Terms available on request. Potential unknown since it has never been tested. Only viewed by little old ladies on Sunday on the way home from church.
Posted Thursday September 18, 2008, About: Why Pistons haven't pulled off deal
I think part of the situation is that Dumars has higher regard for the players on the team than other GM's do. But if the other GM's thought Dumars was going to hold a fire sale, they were dead wrong.

I'm glad that Dumars is committed to only making good deals. And I am a little disappointed that it didn't happen this summer. But there is still time for action as the season progresses - up to trade deadline time!
Posted Tuesday September 16, 2008, About: Threet remains Michigan's starter
My reading of the posts before the season started was that Threet was the man. Why did it take so long for RichRod to see it?
Posted Friday September 12, 2008, About: Red Wings deny Yzerman return
The only reason Stevie Y would come out of retirement would be to point out how much worse the FN site is now than it was. It was bad before, but at least you could get to where you wanted to go reasonably quickly.

The selection of stories is as bad as ever. I am having trouble justifying to myself why I keep coming back to this site. Maybe sometime I won't return?
Posted Thursday September 11, 2008, About: Wings seek Zetterberg extension
The Wings and Z will get it done. Count on it!
Posted Tuesday September 09, 2008, About: Weis' words on UM bulletin board
Charlie trash talked? Bo trash talked before him? I didn't know that coaches did that sort of thing. Is it catching? Might JpPa or any of the others disparage an upcoming opponent? Has college football fallen to these depths?

These questions and many others will not be answered under the Dome on Saturday. But even if they were, no one will ever know what the answers were because they will be watching some other teams play.
Posted Saturday September 06, 2008, About: Red Wing takes it on the chin
You mean his chin got hit by the rebound, not his kiester? Did they give his chin a penalty for being in the powder blue zone?

@Miguel#94 - Howdy. Don't tell me that you are tired of Sundin stories that don't say anything? Why that's the bread and butter of SI/FN.
Posted Saturday September 06, 2008, About: Why Pistons distance from Isiah
Isiah as a player was one of the all time best. Isiah as a coach and manager is one of the all time worst. Analyse as you will, the bottom line is that he will be remembered and honored as a player but not as an administrator.
Posted Friday September 05, 2008, About: Will Tigers bring Leyland back?
Leyland acknowledges he is part of the problem. But is he? Perhaps with someone else in charge of the Tige's this year, they would be wallowing deep in last place despite their talent.

The Tige's were developing a team, but Dom an Ill got impatient and got some superstars. Surprise, the Tige's were no longer a team, and the best efforts of the best manager in baseball could only keep the season from total disaster.
