Well I couldn't hold it in any longer. Detroit just pi$$ed me off too much. I hate this city when it comes down to sports, and if I cared any great deal about politics and economy I would probably hate it in many other aspects as well.

Now I am not just saying this because the Wings are beating my Pens 3-1 right now. I have no problem with the teams here, just their fans and their media. I go to school in Michigan and my friends are all over me. Not in the friendly jeering way, but a weird and stupid way. Before the series I had ten kids ask me if I thought the Penguins had a chance. Gee Let me think we were 2 goals from tieing up the series in the last game and they are my favorite team, what do you think braniac. The second stupid thing I have heard is them asking me if I was going to watch the game on Friday night. Well if they followed the series they would have known it was not on Friday but on Saturday. The last thing tht ticked me off was a friend of mine asked me if it was "Sidney" or "Sindey" Crosby who played for us and after I told him it was "Sidney" he told me he had as many goals as him.(In case you were not sure this was before game 3) I wanted to say, "but he knows how to pronounce his name!" but I had more respect and didn't say it. so other than the wings fans it is mainly all of the rest of their fans too. In spring training I was being told how the Tigers were already World Series Champions and Miguel and Dontrelle were just making it official. Well 2 months into the season the Pittsburgh Pirates, Florida Marlins, and Tampa Rays all have better records. And if you are not familiar with the MLB they are more than seven games under .500. So what are they saying now, well I'd tell you if I knew, but sadly they are so fairweathered fans here that they act as if the Tigers aren't a team anymore. This Royals or Pirates, or any other sports franchise you can think of is ovr 100% better than Detroit fans. I couldn't think of a least deserving city for a great sports franchise then Detroit!

The last thing about Detroit that makes me hate the city when it comes to sports is it's media. I got home today put on the news. Not ESPN, FSN, or ESPNews but NBC or in Detroit the Local 4. So I put it on and from 5 :00 PM to 7:00 I heard nothing but the same exact preview from 10 different newscasters at the Joe Louis Arena about tonight's game. It would be nice if we could get an actual preview but Detroit is too good for that and we get 10 differnt peopl telling us how it would be nice to win the Cup in Detroit and not Pittsburgh. I felt like a 10 year old produced the news. And btw, the news was like this on every channel and has been for the last week and a half.

Sorry to waste your time but Detroit has wated weeks of my life!
