The unforgettable Palace Brawl

Unfortunately I was unable to listen to your show this afternoon but I really did wish I did, because I would have called in to air my disgust.

This is an event our family will never forget, because of the pure ignorance of individuals who do not know how to conduct themselves in public.

Because of the disrespect these individuals displayed on that horrible night at the Palace, individuals have experienced constant pain resulting from their injuries, the past 5 years have been Hell for them.

I have been told the individuals interviewed were quite jovial this afternoon, gee you never seem to interview the victims but then I am sure they are not quite as exciting, I know how you guys always love a good fight.

Let me know how you feel if it was your child who suffered the injury. I can assure you you would be furious as I am that you would actually waste your time on these guys.

Tigers in decline

"It will still be fun to go to Comerica next summer but the pop corn, beer and people watching will be the main attractions."

How can the beer be an attraction at those prices?!!?

Pistons should trade Prince for big man

"Wouldn't Los Angeles Clippers center Chris Kamen look good in a Pistons uniform?"

Yeah, they should have drafted him instead of Darko in 2004! (I was never a Carmello fan.)

Bad blue?

I think ur right on terry.Get rid of that old as defensive co an bring in a young fresh mind to the defense.I don't think the team wants to play for robinson. His schemes are terrible.He has that old 1960's stlye of coaching bed but dont break. Where done with that we need to attack make the offense change to what were doing.The corner are 10 yards off every play they cant tackle and the zone gets beat all game.If you cant play man to man ur not going pro any way.Get rid of robinson NOWWWWWWWWW!

Not repeating the Magglio mistake

Yes, Terry, you're right that the Ordonez contract will put a huge hole in the Tigers' ability to obtain talented veterans. But part of the problem has been their insistence on obtaining untalented veterans, like Huff and Washburn, or not quite good enough players, like Everett and Laird.

Mark my comment on two things. Placido Polanco will, if he has the chance, sign with a warm weather team for the sake of avoiding playing where it might get cold. Two, he is on the decline of his career, and his gold glove was due to not committing errors (a combination of limited range and generous scorekeeping) and resentment of the Red Sox and Yankee second basemen.

The Tigers need to keep Leyland out of the talent acquisition mix: there can be no doubt he was a big part of the following acquisitions: Neifi Perez, Gary Sheffield, Edgar Renteria, and Aubrey Huff. All of them were bad (not unlucky) choices, veterans whose best days were far behind them. He also kept Ordonez in the lineup when he was hitting the softest .400 in recent major league history, despite that doing so was to keep him for another year while making it impossible to obtain another capable player.

Compare the Tigers' late season acquisitions with those of the Twins. And the Twins finished 17-4, and the Tigers lost a three game lead with four to play.

The Tigers will still put a moderately entertaining product on the field, but it is long past time to get Leyland out of the manager's spot, not for his game strategy, but for his poor choices on whom to acquire and play.

Let's not repeat the Magglio mistake.

tigers

terry, with thames gone and granderson and jackson on the block that means no more black players on the team this seems strange where are all the black players going?for a team that struggles with team speed i dont get it

Tigers

The reason the Tigers would have to give up younger and marketable talent like Jackson and Granderson is because of the horrible contracts they are locked into with older and unmarketable guys like Guillen, Ordonez & Robertson as well as the unmarketable contracts of Bonderman and Willis. It will be another two years before they are rid of all of those bad deals.

Tigers

Terry- you are right and congratulations on not being a cheerleader for what will be a cheap product--baseball in Detroit needs new ownership and management,until then only the die hards will be at the ballpark---

CMU another Boise St? Not Even Close

While CMU may be the class of the state of Michigan, thats not saying much. Once they leave the security of MAC level opponents, they get beat pretty easily. Boston College is no national power, but they looked like one against Central.

Not to deny credit where credit is due, CMU has been impressive at their level. But they have a long way to go to become another Boise State. But seriously, if UM and MSU struggle to lure top recruits away from the Floridas, USCs, and Texas', how the heck do they expect to get them past Ann Arbor up to isolated Mt. Pleasant?

I wish CMU the best, but reality is, they just got lucky with an outstanding QB in LeFoevre. Once he graduates, it will probably be back to the MAC norm

the lions....

when it costs over $100 for me and my girlfriend to watch the lions play the rams and then still lose to the rams how can i justify buying tickets to the game? We were going to go downtown and buy tickets to the rams game but I had a feeling it was going to be a terrible game and bulger has never lost to the lions so we didnt go. I thank god we didnt go because I would still be pissed that we wasted $100+ dollars to watch that game. And By the way My girlfriend is very dissapointed that you didnt get her the autographed picture she wanted. she told me about it for the first time today lol.

Schwartz's Bad Call

Thanks for the explanation Terry and I agree. As for Raiola and some other members of the offensive line (including over rated Jeff "Sack"us)I can only hope they're the ones that get run out of town. Stafford needs some protection and a line that can actually run block.

Harrington

I cannot argee with you more on your point about Harrington. If the fans have so much power, MM would have gone years ago.
