SAME FACES (SURPRISE?) AS PISTONS REV IT UP

SAME FACES (SURPRISE?) AS PISTONS REV IT UP

October 29, 2008 | Detroit Free Press
They were supposed to be different. Not the same old Fab Four. Either Chauncey or Tayshaun, maybe Rasheed, maybe Rip. Someone was going. That's what fans figured this summer. Joe Dumars, the team president, said it publicly and loudly - after the Pistons fell short of the NBA Finals yet again - he would trade one or more of his Mt.

LIONS BLACKED OUT – AND THAT’S A GOOD THING

LIONS BLACKED OUT – AND THAT’S A GOOD THING

October 27, 2008 | Detroit Free Press
Tickets remain. That was the story Sunday. For the first time at Ford Field, the Lions couldn't sell out; the game was not televised. Some called this sad. Others called it merciful. Many didn't notice.But as one of the lucky 54,312 in attendance, I feel obliged to report to you what you missed.Not much.Detroit actually scored in the first quarter for the first time all season. A touchdown with 13 seconds left. That makes the year-to-date first-quarter total: Opponents 57, Lions 7. Yay!

NOTHING IS NORMAL ABOUT THESE SPARTANS

NOTHING IS NORMAL ABOUT THESE SPARTANS

October 26, 2008 | Detroit Free Press
It was a gutsy play, if not a smart one. The Spartans lined up for fourth and one on the Michigan 21. There were less than five minutes left; they had a one touchdown lead. One touchdown? Normally you kick a field goal. Normally, it's a no-brainer. But Saturday was not about normal."I looked over to Coach D," quarterback Brian Hoyer would later tell the media, "and I could see him saying to himself, ‘We're going for it.' "

CURTAIN UP, AND DOWN! MSU ISN’T READY YET

EAST LANSING - The weather was perfect, the stadium was packed, and the whole town was pounding with green-and-white optimism.And then the game started.And Ohio State pulled the Spartans' pants down.Not ready. Not yet. The records suggested that Michigan State was an elite team, but records are just numbers. The field tells the tale. And on the field, there were the Big Boys and there were the Wannabes. Before this game was 15 minutes old, it told an age-old story about one team that has done it and one team that is still dreaming about it.
