No Ben W?

I read something on ESPN last night that said the Pistons have acquired Chris Wilcox. I'm not even sure where this guy played last year, but all I can say is that the front line for Detroit is going to have a tough time matching up with other teams this season. They have worked really hard to retain and draft a whole bunch of 2-3 type guys, but forgot that you need to have somewhat of a post presence in order to compete. I still couldn't find anything online about this move today so maybe it's not anything final yet...or simply no one considers it newsworthy to report on.

I guess the one positive thing out of this move is that I don't think we have to worry about Joe D. picking up Ben Wallace. It's hard to believe how little basketball skills and knowledge you can have to make a killing in the League.

On a side note, I was talking with BP and El Jefe yesterday while watching the Tigers vs. Yanks. The Tigers had a lot of chances to win the game and Verlander pitched really well. The sad thing is that I don't think the Tigers believe they can beat the Yanks or the Red Sox consistently. They look like they're scared to play well against these teams. They play like they're a 2nd class team compared to them and they aren't, especially with how well Verlander is pitching. Hoping that E. Jackson can change all of this today.

Go Tigers!

Go old man Tom Watson!

Doghouse?

Riley in the doghouse? Please explain, I'm sure it's funny.

To continue my hating the Pistons right now, I'm puzzled why their name isn't coming up when it comes to Boozer right now. I guess getting rid of Afflalo and some other dude will clear up a lot of cap space to do nothing with it. Rumor has it that Ben Wallace is back in the conversation about coming back to the Pistons. That would be a great pick-up for Detroit. I could really see him stepping up big against the Magic, Cavs, or Celtics next year. The Pistons front line is going to be so hideous it's unbelievable. They picked up 2 wing players in the draft and have only added wing players. Sloth has been a long-time sub for Milwaukee, I guess that means he'll step in and be a solid starter for the Pistons? What the H is going on with Dumars? I think his head must be clouded after eating too many hotdogs at the Palace over the past few years.

Holler!

Bakita's show

No idea how this guy has a morning show on the radio. Since he thinks sports is "really" slow right now because there is no baseball, he decides to make today's show into the All-time best cartoon show. He broke down cartoons and how great they were and he had his usual 5 people he personally knows by name call in and talk about Underdog and Voltron.

Here are some sports topics he could discuss even though there weren't any games going on last night. Maybe he'll check out this list and get his head out of his rear end.

-What will it take for the Tigs to win their division?
-If you were Dombrowski, would you try to make a deal for Halladay?
-Why is Dumars an idiot the past 3-4 years?
-What free agent should the Pistons go after before the season starts?
-Who are the local players looking to get signed by NFL teams? Call them, interview them, see what's going on with their workouts this summer?

Just a few ideas that could make decent shows for the next week or two instead of greatest Cartoons for old dudes like you! You Suck Bakita!

Home Run King!

Ladies and Gentlemen, your new 2009 Home Run King, Brandon Inge!! Wait, what? He didn't hit a single homer? In the Home Run Derby? Is that possible?

I guess he did just as good in this year's Derby as we did.

Old Sacks

Well, Happy 30th Birthday to Possum and PK! And according to Possum, his and PK's sacks are so old and wrinkly they look like a Shar Pei....

Holler.

Pistons or Lions?

The moves the Pistons have made reminds me of the Lions when Matt Millen was in charge. Dumars has either lost his mind or Chuck Daly was the guy pulling the strings all along and it was just Joe D. taking the credit all these years. Besides getting RaWeed over to Detroit and winning a championship that year, what has he done that's been good since then.

The list of bad moves could last for days if we were to list them all out. The biggest problem for Detroit is that most of the top teams in the East have gotten significantly better since last season. The Pistons have gotten worse including another hideous draft. Why would Detroit pick up a sweet Pt. guard like Lawson, or a proven big man like DuJuan Blair? It's typical of the Spurs to get a potential impact player late in the 2nd round. Anyone remember watching Sam Young from Pitt last year? This guy can light it up against anyone? He will play the 3 spot...just like Austin Daye, except Daye weighs as much as I did in college. Unbelievable.

The only person I think could run this team further into the ground is Isiah Thomas.

Welcome Frank Billingsly

Photo: Cleveland Plain Dealer

In a strange turn of events, Joe Dumars decided to hire Frank Billingsly, not Avery Johnson. I know that is not his real name, but it might as well be. I actually do not mind the hire since Joe keeps coaches like Michael Jordan keeps girlfriends (not very long). Avery was requiring at least a four-year deal and the price would have been at a premium. Better to fire a coach at $1-2 million per year as opposed to $4-5 million per year. The Pistons are still paying Flip and Curry, so this makes sense. PLUS, this is the guy that was basically running the Cavs in every timeout while Mike Brown was off to the side chewing his gum. Let's face it, the Pistons are not going to win next year anyway.

If "Frank" does not work out, I think there will be a coup and Joe will be long gone. Joe bought some time by winning the chip back in the early aughts, but everyone's patience (including mine) is running out. Time will tell. Time will tell.

McNair Homicide...

Not sure where to even start with this story. It's obviously a tragedy, but certainly a tragedy that could have been avoided. I loved an article I read yesterday from a "friend" of McNair that said he always tried to be the best dad he could be to his 4 sons...in which 2 of the 4 sons were from his current wife. It's a sad thing when the whole world was under the impression that this guy was such a class act because he did some volunteer work throughout his career in the NFL. If this guy has always been a "class act" then I think the bar has been set really low.

Nice quote right here to check out from an article on ESPN tonight. You think this 20 year old server from Dave and Buster's was his first girlfriend???

"He liked her so much because they would go shopping and stuff and she would want to spend her own money," Abdi said. "The reason he said he loves her is because she's not trying to use him like other girls. She was different from other girls he had been with."

PS-I just read something on ESPN about a possible trade for Boozer that would include Big Baby Rip Hamilton. This could be nice, I mean real nice.

Daily Michigan

Here is Michigan's New QB for 2010, Devin Gardner. Much like T-Pryor, this dude could play WR. I'm LOVING THIS GUY!!!! I hate to say it, but I think Michigan is going to be amazing in a few years.

Pistons Get Smart
I actually really like this signing. Ben Gordon probably is in my Top 5 of favorite college players over the past 10 years (behind Paul Davis, Avery Queen, Hercules from Calvin, and that Lorbek guy from MSU). I love the fact they have a guy that can pour in 25 in a quarter. Gordon is a legitimate go-to guy that the Pistons needed after the trade debacle from last year. I would say Gordon could come off the bench since he did so in Chicago. However, it makes way more since to deal Rip and possibly Tayshaun somwhere and get some much needed beef down low. I love Mad Max, but a 6'4" center won't cut it come playoff time. So who could the Pistons get in return for the biggest babies in the NBA? My personal opinion is Kaman and a draft pick, but I am not sure Tayshaun or Rip would make sense in a trade with them.

Summer TV Sucks
Since the Tigers played an afternoon game yesterday, I had some time to watch a little network TV last night. I watched a new show on NBC called "The Philanthropist." Let's just say NBC has not been real Philanthropic in terms of giving us good new shows. That show is about the most boring show I have ever seen. I ended up switching it after 10 min. A hit at our house has been "Wipeout." The show itself is pretty stupid, but I do rather enjoy people getting destroyed by objects rotating around and up and down at about 30 mph. Always a good laugh. I am not sure how to get on that show, but I need to be on it soon.

Dumars love Sloth?

Charlie "Sloth" Villanueva to the Pistons? Does Chunk get to sit on the sidelines with his Rocky Road ice cream while Sloth runs up and down the court hoping to get a Baby Ruth if he plays well?

2 New Pistons

ESPN is reporting Gordon and Villanueva will sign with Detroit. I'm sure they will both help a lot. I don't know much about the bald, scary and ugly man but I'm assuming he'll probably play a lot like Sheed (just not an A-hole). They are both younger guys that could have really good careers.

If they don't get anyone to take Rip or Prince in a trade, who is Detroit going to start? If Rip comes off the bench he'll cry like a baby so I'm sure he'll have to start. They are going to start both of these new players because you don't pay someone that kind of money to sit the bench unless you're talking about a future prospect like Darko.

They can't start Stuckey, Rip, Gordon, and Prince if they're all still on the team. All of these dudes will cry if they have to come off the bench. I guess being the first or second guy off the bench and making millions of dollars is worth crying about...probably why Rip didn't get along with Curry. Can't believe Curry would originally sit Rip to start Iverson who will be in the Hall of Fame some day.

I really hope the Pistons can trade Rip and Prince for a guy like Stoudamire or another tough SOB. The Pistons have been a bunch of babies and they need to get back to being a tough nosed team.

Holler!

Simon Cowell...Gettin Paid!

I heard this morning that he's getting paid between $100M-$144M for next season's American Idol. Not bad money considering the season lasts 5 months. WOW!!!

Thought I'd add a little "pop culture" post today so I can try and forget about how the Pistons are working to be the worst NBA team in the Eastern Conference.

Holler!
