Michigan Stinks, Michigan State Will Get Shaft As B10 Champs

Oh how things change in 5 years. Michigan under Lloyd Carr was still elite. They may not have ever been able to beat Ohio State, but they were perennial contenders for the B10 title, and everyone said he was too conservative. In comes Rich Rodriguez with his "new offense" and Michigan is a disaster for his entire time here. Sure they have a high scoring offense this year, but they have the WORST defense in the history of the school.

MSU was always the middle of the pack team that Michigan should guarantee a win from 3/4 time. Now I doubt Michigan will beat them again for 5 more years. MSU fans have found a fountain of anti aging products for their program.

MSU has had a great year. Only 1 loss on the road to Iowa. They even beat #5 ranked Wisconsin, but they will end up ranked lower than Wisconsin when all is said and done. Wisconsin beat Ohio State when they were #1, and they also have beaten Iowa, BUT they lost to MSU. Both OSU and Wisconsin are ranked above MSU right now.

It all comes down to the rankings and the rankings are wrong. When you lose to someone and have the same record it should not be possible to be ranked higher than they are. Wisconsin will be in the top 4 by the end of the say. Maybe higher. MSU may squeak into the top 8 or so, but that doesn't mean much for them and the B10 title.

Spoof: Michael Jordan's Response To Lebron James Commercial

I'm not sure if you could call this a spoof really as they are both real commercials, but this is an excellent editing job. After we were all "witness" the the Lebron James circus announcement press conference we all lost a little respect for him. HE looked like a giant douche, and while I don't fault him for moving on to Miami (who are 9-7 only so far this year) and taking up with the next Dream Team, I still think he looked like a tool with his whole act.

Shortly after he signed, Lebron had a Nike commercial in which he talked about how hard everything is and how people are mean to him. At least that is what I got out of it. If you haven't seen it decide for yourself here.

Now someone has taken an old Michael Jordan commercial and spliced it together with that LEbron commercial. Basically this guy gives Lebron a full colon cleanse without even kissing him first.




Here's a quote from a Youtube user I like:

"If Lebron James starred in Space Jam 2, he would leave the Toon Squad for the Monstars in the middle of the movie."

Another Addition To Lions Injury Pool

Running Back Kevin Smith was put on the IR earlier today after having surgery on his broken thumb. Smith seemed to be a bit more productive to me watching the games than Best has been. He actually got plays called for him that made any sort of sense and made the most of his time out there while Best got to run the same left outside run 15 times in a row for 1 yard per carry if he was lucky. Smith also looked pretty good as a pass catcher this year as well.

Smith has had an injury plagued career here in Detroit just like other toys we have that plays on offense and has any relevance. Most will blame the O-Line for this of course. Every RB we've had since Barry has been an injury waiting to happen. Before Kevin Smith it was Kevin Jones that we traded up to get and he spent half his time injured. Best I'm sure is headed down the same path.

The Lions decided that Stafford doesn't need surgery this year somehow and hope to get him back this year to maybe try and win one more game.

Just another lost season where we get nothing. Our QB isn't developing because he's a Joe Glass, we lose starters left and right. I knew coming in we didn't have much depth, but we always lose the guys we need. Stafford was all that matters and his season is a colossal FAILURE.

Tigers Close to Signing Joaquin Benoit According To Morossi

Nice to see us picking up a RP since Coke is going to the rotation most likely and you can't count on Zoom at all. Still not all that easy to depend on RPs year to year to decide if they will make the grade.

Benoit had a spectacular season last year with the Rays. He was fifth in the American League in holds (25), and he struck out 75 batters in 60 1/3 innings with a 1.34 ERA and a microscopic 0.69 WHIP.

Problem is that he missed all of 2009 from rotator cuff surgery, but obviously he is doing alright with it since he had such a great year.

In other news the Marlins got bent over once again trading Dan Uggla for our very own Omar Infante and RP Mike Dunn. You heard that right. A low end starter and a RP for the only guy in MLB history to hit 30+ HRs 4 years in a row at 2B while still being at the age he needs acne treatments. Clearly we could not match it.

People claim it was his contract demands. Duh...Florida pays no one. Tigers would have sheeled out a new deal I'm quite sure and not even blinked, however.
