As if the Pistons haven't done enough to secure the future of the franchise, they pull another huge move and sign T-Mac to a 1-year $1.3 million deal. Yes. That was sarcasm.
In another worthless move that is sure to produce nothing, the Pistons sign the oft-injured, has been, choker, T-Mac to a one-year deal in which he says he will accept a role off the bench.
The Pistons significant moves this year so far are: oh wait they haven't made any. Actually signing anyone at this point feels like getting hit by a stun guns as weak as the team has been since trading away Chauncey Billups.
Clearly not on anyone's list of dream destinations of the 2010-2011 NBA season, Detroit signed a guy nobody else wanted and hope that he can play more than 30 games before he is injured again.
35-47 here we come!
Detroit Tigers, Detroit Lions, Detroit Pistons, Rasheed Wallace, Barry Bonds, and the world of sports.

Suh Signs After 4 Day oldout
The Lions have everyone signed and everyone is happy. I guess except some whiny fans that don't understand contracts at all, and people that think athletes owe them something. Put on your running shoes and go to the ball losers.
According to reports, Suh will sign a five-year deal with a guarantee of $40 million. According to sources, the maximum for the contract is $68 million.
That contract, based on average, would eclipse the six-year, $41.7 million deal (in guaranteed money) that quarterback Matthew Stafford signed last year as the first overall pick.

Lion's President Tom Lewand Suspended 30 Days and Fined $100K By NFL
So...he actually got something for blowing a 0.20(!) while driving a car. I'm really amazed they did anything to him. They don't typically do anything to front office types that break the law in sports.
In a letter sent to Lewand, Goodell wrote, "You occupy a special position of responsibility and trust and -- as you have publicly acknowledged -- your conduct must be consistent with someone in that position. As we have discussed, those who occupy leadership positions are held to a higher standard of conduct that exceeds what is ordinarily expected of players or member of the general public.
"I commend you for your candor, your willingness to accept responsibility and your publicly stated recognition that this incident affects the reputation of the Lions and the NFL."
Lewand's suspension will begin Aug. 25, and he will not be able to represent the Lions at league meetings. He also will be barred from being present at the Lions' facilities, attending games and representing the Lions publicly other than at specified community service activities focused on alcohol abuse and safe driving.
Any other organization they might care and would have reprimanded him before Goodell had to. He'd probably be doing purchase order financing in many organizations, but Ford didn't really even care.

Tigers Trade For Jhonny Peralta: He Hits 2HRs in Debut
Jhonny Peralta wasn't exactly a guy I was excited about acquiring. I mean the Tigers are probably beyond help at this point. As soon as Maggs went down the season took a bitter turn from some hope to hopeless in my opinion.
We traded some pitcher from the Whitecaps to the Indians for him and he got his first start at 3B tonight in place of the injured Brandon Inge. He went on to blast 2 HRs in his Tiger debut and led the team to a 6-5 win over Boston and the great Jon Lester of all people. He finished 3-4 with 3 RBIs. iphone 4 insurance
Yeah it was 6-1 until Valverde came in in the 9th and gave up 4ERs and almost blew the game. Surely that will be some great fuel for Boston to go on and take the rest of the series.
Ho hum...this season doesn't look like much the rest of the way now. Rumor is the White Sox are after Adam Dunn pretty hard, and that just pisses me off. We could have signed, or traded for him a dozen times over the years and they will get him. Drives me mad.
