The whiny Detroit Lions WR Titus Young (I refuse to use "Sr." for him in print. He's a child), is back at it on Twitter after being quiet for a while. That he is still on the team is bad enough, but his incessant whining about not getting tthe ball, and wanting to be cut is getting hilarious. ACting like he needs a San Diego workplace discrimination lawyer.
This guy hdid 2 things last year that make him a complete idiot and a detriment to the team. In preseason last year he lost some of his man points by not just punching Louis Delmas, but sucker punching him. Not a man. Then later int he season he decided that since he thinks he shoudld get the ball more even though he plays alongside the best WR in the NFL Calvin johnson, he was going to line up in the wrong spot on offense on purpose! The guy should ahve been cut the next day. Yet, here we are still with him doing all of this and now...
"Oh I'm not done, if y'all going to cut me let me go. I'm tired of the threats"
"Never needed the money Give me a dollar and a ball bet I come back #HallofFame" (LMAO @ Hall of Fame. Dude isn't even a #2 ion the LIONS yet)
"Like I said I never been selfish but if I'm not going to get the football i don't want to play anymore". Young followed that Tweet with this self-assessment: "Never have I ran the wrong route, just put my self where the ball was going"
Yeah...when he can be cut he should be cut. He's calling them out. They claim that if he doesn't get on board they will cut him. So...are they just shallow threats? He is very replaceable so I could care less.

Andre Drummond is Making the Pistons Worthy of a Watch Now Too
Not only are the Michigan Wolverines hoops team drawing a lot more interest, but the Pistons may be getting back on the map as well. Their latest 1st round draft pick Andre Drummond is bringing a lot of excitement to Detroit with his play. The 7'0" C is an offensive rebounding and alley-oop machine with his PER-36 numbers matching up with some of the best in the game, and right there with some of the past greats as rookies like Dwight Howard. Here was a good article comparing the two from a few weeks back. Here's an ESPN article talking the per 36 stats from a week ago.
Lawrence Frank is proving to be a coach that many fans who love the game are starting to recognize as well. We're all hoping that he doesn't get the shaft when the Pistons actually become good again because he has certainly done a great job with the trash of a team he has had since he has been here. A team of guys that look like they came from a wholesale catalog. He gets way more out of these guys than anyone should. The way he has used Drummond so far? Many fans want him to get more minutes. This guy thinks that Franks has used him to perfection so far.

Been a Long Time Since People Have Talked Michigan BASKETBALL
Back in the day I used to follow them religiously. I actually liked college hoops. No I'm not talking just the Fab 5 either. I'm old enough to have been blessed with the days where the great National Championship team was here and Glenn Rice set the tournament record for points in what was it '89? Man they were big back then and then the Fab 5 came and they got as big as any college hoops team has ever been.
Then we lost it all because they say we cheated. The program was handcuffed for years and every lawyer from fayetteville nc business lawyer to the NCAA were the ones that got paid then.
Now? Many years after the crimes have been paid for we have a team that is 16-0, #2 in the nation, and 1 game away from the best start in U of M history. People are starting to care a little bit I think.
Still...there are a lot of people saying they haven't proven anything since they haven't beaten a top 20 team on the road yet. Next they play Ohio State on the road and this is called their first true test. #1 Duke just got beat by NC State so a win here puts them at #1 most likely.

Tigers Re-sign Sanchez to 5 years/$80 Million
Wow...that's a heck of a contract for him. Hope he can live up to it.
I wasn't against re-signing him by any stretch, but I didn't think we'd go all-in with him like this. The Cubs offered about $75 million I believe and we got him at $80. This is basically our #4 starter here and he's getting paid like a #2, or a low end #1. This is actually the same deal Verlander got in 2010 so you know this is a huge deal. JV will get an extension soon I am sure. His online design business cards probably read "About to be the highest paid SP in baseball".
This leaves Porcello on the trade block now. We're still looking to replace Peralta at SS. Of course I'm not against holding Porcello as the #5, putting Smyly in the bullpen, and keeping that depth so that we aren't out a starter when we need one. We've had to trade for a rotation spot the last 2 years so it is obvious that we aren't gonna be wasting space if we kept them both around. Smyly can pitch spot starts and long relief. Eventually one of our starters will probably be out for an extended time and we can slot him right in. Texas did exactly this to us in the playoffs 2 years ago having more starters than they needed.
