The Detroit Lions

     The lions have so many holes to patch up. Their second draft pick overall will patch one of them. There are two choices, and the St. Louis Rams will most likely pick one of them. Ndamukong Suh and Gerald McCoy. They are both defensive linemen and the best in their class. Personally, I think that the Lions would rather have Suh over McCoy, but they will have to take whoever is left. They are different players, but McCoy had more of a national spotlight because he played for Oklahoma, a team that was in the NCAA Football Championship Game last year. Suh, on the other hand, played for Nebraska, a team overshadowed by the great Texas Longhorns. Experts believe that McCoy will go first, but both teams will have their first close look at them this week, when the scouting combine begins. Either way, the Lions will get a great player.

Detroit Tigers

     12 days, 2 hours, 33 minutes until the first Spring Training game!!! (courtesy of the detroit tigers official web site)

      Well, I don't know how many of you are excited for the Tiger's new season, but I sure am. They have so many new players that could really perform well in 2010 that I believe they could win the Central Division. Their new closer has led the league in saves two of the past three years, and Granderson, Polanco, and Jackson have all been lost to other teams. The Tigers have two rookie players in Austin Jackson and Scott Sizemore, who will try to patch to holes left by Granderson and Polanco. They added many new pitchers and two new catchers. Overall, I believe that the Tigers took a huge step in the direction of this phrase being said before their name. Central Division Champions!!!


The pitchers and catchers reported to Lakeland for workouts on Thursday, and the rest of the players will be there as soon as Monday. Remember, their first spring training game on TV is the 15th at 1:05 against Toronto!

Detroit Pistons

     The Detroit Pistons came back from the All-Star break in a big way. They crushed the Timberwolves 108 - 85. They were led by Jonas Jerebko with 21 points, the only Pistons player to make the trip to Dallas. He participated in the Rookie - Sophomore game. Will Bynum was the "disher" with 14 assists. That was a career high. Over the All-Star break, Pistons coach John Kuester expressed his desire for more assists. The Pistons answered that in a big way with 37 assists on 47 baskets. This was a big win for the struggling Pistons. They have been playing well in February though.


     Also, the NBA trading deadline is Thursday afternoon and the Pistons need to make a move. There have been rumors involving Rip Hamilton and Tayshaun Prince. Those are two players who have been underachieving this season, although they were injured for the beginning of it. Coach Kuester has said that he has complete trust in Joe Dumars and the decisions that he makes. We will just have to wait and see.

Today is Michael Jordan's birthday, so if you see him... remember that!!! Watch out for him purchasing the Charlotte Bobcats. He has shown great interest in that.
