C.D. Carter Opens the Discussion on Fantasy Football Addiction
The discussion on fantasy football addiction got a fresh set of downs Tuesday morning. Thanks to C.D. Carter. Carter, fantasy football expert, and writer for XN Sports and The Fake Football went semi-viral today after his piece “When Fantasy Football Becomes an Addiction” was published this morning on the New York Times NFL blog “Fifth Down.” […]
Selig Screws Houston, Nolan Ryan Licking his Chops
Forgive me for being harsh, but there’s no better way of putting it. Bud Selig has, in the hopes of making baseball stronger and more lasting, screwed the Houston Astros, inadvertently or not. I don’t believe Selig is the devil, just sort of a dimwit at times. The Devil is surely TMZ’s Harvey Levin. All […]
Tigers Owner Mike Ilitch and the Pizza Fund
For those of you unfamiliar with Mike Ilitch – here’s the 83 year-old father of Little Caesar’s Pizza, philanthropist of Detroit, owner of the Red Wings, former minor-leaguer and well-known Michigan magnate of the last couple of decades.

Tigers Front-Runners in Torii Hunter Race
In a report by Danny Knobler of CBSSports.com, Torii Hunter wants a ring. That gives Hunter only a couple of options.

Peralta, Dotel Re-sign; Delmon Young, Jose Valverde Won’t Return to Tigers
David Dombrowski just met with members of the Detroit media and made it clear that the club will not offer contracts to outfielder Delmon Young and closer Jose Valverde (97.1 FM The Ticket). Delmon Young was the Tigers’ best performer in the postseason but struggled with his consistency at the plate during the regular season. […]
World Series Game 4 Preview: Giants Sweep, or Tigers Claw Back?
This one is difficult. Either the Giants will complete a four-game sweep of the 2012 World Series, or the Tigers will make it somewhat interesting with a win. It won’t get truly interesting unless the Tigers win the next three games. Unfortunately for the Tigers, that will take a lot of work, and a lot […]
