Detroit Pistons Close Preseason with Winning Record and Optimism
DETROIT, MI - The Detroit Pistons closed preseason with a winning record (3-2), after a 108-92 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers. And now focus shifts towards being ready for the season opener October 23 in Detroit versus the Indiana Pacers. Despite a franchise low 14 wins last season, fans cant shake the feeling of optimism for the 2024 team. The clean sweep of the front office, bringing in
Detroit Pistons Heading In Right Direction Under JB Bickerstaff?
EAST LANSING, MI - The Detroit Pistons and Phoenix Suns tipped off preseason action at the Breslin Center. Yes, that Breslin Center, a place that Michigan State University Spartans legend and current MBB coach Tom Izzo built. That Breslin Center in which you pass the statue of legendary Magic Johnson to enter. That Breslin Center the Pistons announcer and former Spartan, Greg “Special K” Kelser, can’t help
Detroit Pistons Show Defensive Identity vs Milwaukee Bucks
DETROIT, MI - The Detroit Pistons opened preseason at home with a 120-87 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks. The game started off reminiscent of last season through the first quarter. They went nearly 5 minutes without scoring after Jaden Ivey put the Pistons up 3-0. A Cade Cunningham iso three stopped the Bucks run, but there wasn’t much to be hopeful of at that point. Their defense
Lions should open up kicking competition again
I don’t trust Detroit Lions place kicker Jake Bates in a big spot. He can boom long field goals with the best of them, but is shaky at best on field goals that should be automatic. How does an NFL kicker push a 30-yard field goal as Bates did in the third quarter of the Lions 24-17 preseason victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Saturday? We were
Detroit Tigers Trade Deadline: Hope or Heartache?
Detroit Tigers fans are understandably frustrated. The 2024 trade deadline moves signaled a longer rebuild than many anticipated, pushing the timeline for competitiveness out another two to three years. This decision, focusing on younger prospects rather than Major League-ready talent, has unfairly drawn parallels to the less successful eras of previous front office regimes. Despite the immediate dissatisfaction, there are reasons to remain hopeful. The influx of
Detroit Tigers Deadline Dilemma: To Trade or Keep Tarik Skubal?
As the MLB trade deadline approaches, Tigers fans are lost in a maze of maybes. After a decade-long drought of irrelevance, the Tigers, teetering around .500, have reignited excitement not felt since the 2014 playoffs. As the trade deadline looms, fans are like gardeners, unsure whether to prune their prized roses or let them grow wild, fearing both stagnation and over-cutting. I don’t blame any fan for
Detroit Lions Training Camp: Key Offensive Storylines to Watch
The Detroit Lions narrowly fell short of a Super Bowl berth in 2023, surpassing many expectations in the process. Many anticipated that the Lions' upward trajectory would continue, but it might take another year or two for their drafts and front office moves to coalesce into a true contender. However, the young Lions team exceeded expectations last season, securing an NFC North Championship and nearly reaching the
Detroit Pistons: Notes From Summer League Game 2
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - The Detroit Pistons second game of NBA Summer League vs the Houston Rockets didn’t get off to the best start. Just before the game the team announced Ron Holland would miss the game for general rest purposes. Holland was selected #5 overall by the Pistons in the 2024 NBA Draft to be an important part of the team’s new future. He did have
Most men want to be left alone on Father’s Day, but not me
Just leave me alone. That’s the constant refrain I got from my daddy friends on Father’s Day. They did not want to be fussed over by family. They did not want elaborate meals. Those men did not want to be bothered by their wives or children. I am the exact opposite. My Father’s Day weekend played out perfectly for me because my peeps did not leave me
Lions Brad Holmes’ Masterstroke: Extending Goff before Lawrence
Detroit Lions GM Brad Holmes worked his magic again, securing Jared Goff's contract extension before the latest (and next) wave of quarterback deals. Holmes' timing was impeccable, ensuring the Lions' stability at quarterback while navigating the rapidly inflating quarterback market. Goff's extension, which some pronounced hefty at the time, now appears to be a masterstroke in comparison to Trevor Lawrence's recent blockbuster deal with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Tigers Drop Heartbreaker to Nationals in Extra Innings, 5-4
The Detroit Tigers endured a heartbreaking loss to the Washington Nationals in a gripping 5-4 game that stretched into extra innings. The Tigers, struggling to find consistent offense this season, saw their efforts fall short despite a promising mid-game comeback. This defeat marks a missed opportunity for the Tigers to edge closer to a .500 record, bringing their season tally to 32-34. Early Struggles and a Tight
Michigan Central station is a new beginning in more ways than one
The light thunder of clapping and the gentle roar of cheers rang out inside the Michigan Central Train station during our tour of the joint this weekend. We were inside the Poster room and stepped outside into the main concourse to see what all the fuss about. For a moment I thought Bill Ford Jr. strolled in to get another look at his handy work. I looked
