Detroit Red Wings Anthony Mantha finds consistency

Embed from Getty Images He drove his coach crazy. He drove fans crazy. It probably safe to say he drove his general manager (Ken Holland) crazy. Anthony Mantha lacked consistency and I dare say confidence last season. Scoring 17 goals, yet missing so many opportunities for more goals. He also had big lapses in his…

Detroit Lions to move up, down or stay put?

Embed from Getty Images Detroit Lions general manager Bob Quinn, has gone on record as saying he would like to acquire more draft picks. With team needs at offensive guard, running back and defensive end he should have his pick in a deep draft at those positions. I believe the Detroit Lions should stay put….

Detroit Tigers prospect Gregory Soto

Detroit Tigers prospect profile Isaac Paredes

In a pinch me moment last season the Detroit Tigers began a rebuild that has been years in the making and will take years to complete. Too me one player stood out in last seasons trade frenzy. Don’t get me wrong. I thought the Detroit Tigers did very well in the Justin Verlander trade. But,…

Detroit Lions prepping for the NFL draft

One God given ability I have is to be able to look at a team and see what needs they have. The Detroit Lions have needs. But, perhaps in a different order than fans think. Lions fans know the surface needs of the team. Running back, offensive guard, center, linebacker depth. Tight end. Those are…

Detroit Pistons the frustrating part

As the Detroit Pistons are marred in mediocrity, the fans are left with frustrations. That must change. As I have documented Pistons head coach Stan Van Gundy’s failures is does go deeper than that.
