I like that they are proceeding towards some more trophy's and entertaining them who follow sports.<BR/><BR/>Having grown up here and lived through the dearth of the Wings after Howe and the Production line, That first Stanley cup for Stevie Y was a good thing but after that it seems like a routine.<BR/><BR/>Same with the Pistons, it seems like Joe D will not let them fade again.<BR/><BR/>The Tigers after Trammels coaching are really going hot...<BR/><BR/>The Lions the eternal suck...even they provide some relief for the fans...ha ha ha ha. They are the only D team that have not won a BIG One in my lifetime. Arena football and womens B-Ball (The Shock) both produced the champions eh..but not the eternal underdog. They are amusing.<BR/><BR/>But lights outside of sports, the city council seems to be am ember looking for the right kindling, i have hope for the next general election. Getting rid of fat ass is a light.<BR/><BR/>the DIA and its expansion is a good thing. The Art gallery on Woodward that has the neon sign quoting Marley eh? "EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE ALL RIGHT"<BR/><BR/>Detroit is like Joe Lewis in his prime, man the guy could take a punch as well as throw a punch, we may not have much in the way of legs left but fuck we still got game.<BR/><BR/>The Detroit poetry community is still out there shouting and that is a light that most leave undiscovered.<BR/><BR/>Yeah man, sports are good for the soul, a balm if you will but if you look...there is fun here too and depending on your tastes Detroit only looks like a sewer. But that sewer is birthing something, depends on how things go as to what that something is.<BR/><BR/>Peacethe walking manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10058913927297370740noreply@blogger.com
