Goopster24 Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 (edited) 2006 Detroit Red Wings - 124 points (best record in the NHL) 2006 Detroit Pistons - 64-18 (best record in the NBA) 2006 Detroit Tigers - 72-35 (best record in MLB) 2006 Detroit Lions - I believe two of those teams have already choked big time sir. Get back to me in October so we can talk some Tiger baseball and the Lions' future once again.... Note: I am rooting my ass off for the Tigers to take that division crown from the Sox. I need something to root for as a miserable Cubs fan. Edited August 3, 2006 by Goopster24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chavez Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 "Destiny" is winning the title. So far the Detroit "Teams of Destiny" are oh-fer-2 with 1 yet to be decided (excepting the Lions since they have no record of anything as of yet - well, aside from a record of futility) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spain Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down Of the big lake they called 'Gitche Gumee' The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead When the skies of November turn gloomy With a load of iron ore twenty-six thousand tons more Than the Edmund Fitzgerald weighed empty. That good ship and true was a bone to be chewed When the gales of November came early. The ship was the pride of the American side Coming back from some mill in Wisconsin As the big freighters go, it was bigger than most With a crew and good captain well seasoned Concluding some terms with a couple of steel firms When they left fully loaded for Cleveland And later that night when the ship's bell rang Could it be the north wind they'd been feelin'? The wind in the wires made a tattle-tale sound And a wave broke over the railing And every man knew, as the captain did too, T'was the witch of November come stealin'. The dawn came late and the breakfast had to wait When the Gales of November came slashin'. When afternoon came it was freezin' rain In the face of a hurricane west wind. When suppertime came, the old cook came on deck sayin'. Fellas, it's too rough to feed ya. At Seven P.M. a main hatchway caved in, he said Fellas, it's been good t'know ya The captain wired in he had water comin' in And the good ship and crew was in peril. And later that night when his lights went outta sight Came the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. Does any one know where the love of God goes When the waves turn the minutes to hours? The searches all say they'd have made Whitefish Bay If they'd put fifteen more miles behind her. They might have split up or they might have capsized; May have broke deep and took water. And all that remains is the faces and the names Of the wives and the sons and the daughters. Lake Huron rolls, Superior sings In the rooms of her ice-water mansion. Old Michigan steams like a young man's dreams; The islands and bays are for sportsmen. And farther below Lake Ontario Takes in what Lake Erie can send her, And the iron boats go as the mariners all know With the Gales of November remembered. In a musty old hall in Detroit they prayed, In the Maritime Sailors' Cathedral. The church bell chimed till it rang twenty-nine times For each man on the Edmund Fitzgerald. The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down Of the big lake they call 'Gitche Gumee'. Superior, they said, never gives up her dead When the gales of November come early!

The Misfit Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 I was thinking Scott Mitchell. Jon Kitna has "small hands" too. He won't fumble as much as Scotty, but it does make him tend to overgrip the ball and throw it at people's knees, among other things.

piratesownninjas Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 I'm really pulling for the Tigers. I grew up going to Texas Ranger games, and as a kid, saw Pudge Rodriguez professional debut. One of my favorite players of all time in any sport. What the Rangers did to him was asinine. F the Rangers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This list looks like it might have a similiar outcome.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
