Tidbits

A rep from the NHL admitted a mistake was made on the Brad May non-goal. With the way this season shakes out, let's hope that Dallas loss doesn't matter. I'm pleased the NHL came clean. They usually back their refs all the way to absurdity.

Rare Lions Segment
Apparently the fans agree with my pledge to stop going to games. For the third time this season, the Lions will be blacked-out in Detroit. Fans are not supporting this 1-8 (1-7? Does it matter?) team. That's good. The only way to implement change is to hit Mr. Ford in the wallet.

My dream scenario is that the Fords sell or move the Lions to a different city. Detroiters would go ballistic for a few years, as this is a football town first and foremost. But, the city could certainly earn an expansion team in a few years. How great would it be to have a different NFL team in Detroit?

Baseball
Free agency is officially under way. No news yet. I still believe that the Edwin Jackson and Granderson trade rumors are completely baseless. They don't make sense from a cost-cutting perspective. Don't be surprised to see Miguel Cabrera shipped away. With his salary and brushes with the law, he seems a more likely candidate. And he had an awesome offensive season to boot. He would leave a massive hole in the lineup, but the trade wouldn't alienate fans.
