The Demise of Detroit

Lately the Detroit Sports scene has been somewhat in ruins. Almost every professional sports team in Detroit seems to be stuck in a downfall.

The Detroit Pistons were NBA champs last season but they will have a major cloud over their heads for the rest of this season after their horrible brawl with the Pacers took place. Besides the brawl, the Pistons are barely playing 500 ball. They have already allowed 100 or more points in a game 4 times this season. They only allowed 100 points or more in a game 4 times all of last season.

The Detroit Lions are in a huge downfall. They started the season great at 4-2 but they have now lost 5 straight games(most of them fairly close). Their playoff chances have now almost completely gone down the tube. The Lions' offense has been horrible all year and their defense was horrible this past week. A lot of people are calling out Joey Harrington. Everyone is saying how he should not be the starter. The more I see him do bad the more I agree with them. Its sad but the Lions will probably have another quarterback under the helm next season.

The Detroit Redwings are also in a downfall. I think that because they have not played at all this season but also because they have not done much in the playoffs during the last 2 seasons. A lot of their best players are getting older and this lockout is not helping at all. Head over to On the Wings for all your lockout and Red Wings' news.

The Detroit Tigers are the only team on the uprise in Detroit. They greatly improved this past season by signing a lot of good players in the previous offseason. This offseason they have already signed Troy Percival and they are in possible contention for Jeff Kent, Derek Lowe, Carl Pavano, and other stars. They should be able to finish very close or over the 500 mark this upcoming season. They play in a very weak division and they must take advantage of it.

There you have it, my breakdown of what is going on in the Detroit Sports scene. Maybe you disagree or agree with me that the Detroit Sports scene is not doing that great. I think the Pistons and Red Wings will pick it up but the Lions will not do much better anytime soon.

I hope you have enjoyed reading this. If you have any thoughts on this then just leave a comment or email me.
