Here is Why Tony Paul Is Not A Tigers Beat Writer

If you ever wondered why Detroit Tigers Vice President of Communications Ron Colangelo went to the Detroit News a couple years ago and told the higher-ups that the team didn't want Tony Paul covering the organization for the major daily, well the last few weeks should have answered that riddle. The juxtaposition of the actual reporting that…

Al Avila is Full of Shit

In the last months of the Dave Dombrowski era in Detroit** it wouldn't have been unusual to find current Tigers Director of Baseball Ops Sam Menzin manually updating the American League standings in Dombrowski's office. Yep, the one person with any understanding of advanced metrics in the team's front office was relegated to mundane…

I AM NOT DEAD

I've received some text messages and emails over the last few days from folks worried that I croaked since I haven't Tweeted since Saturday afternoon. Sorry to disappoint many members of the Detroit sports media, but I am not dead. Actually, I am currently serving a seven day suspension on…

The Time Jemele Hill Tried To Rip Off the DSR

They say that politics makes strange bedfellows and that old axiom has never been more relevant than during the Donald Trump presidency. If you would have told me a couple of years ago that I'd be regularly agreeing with folks like Bill Kristol, Ana Navarro and Steve Schmidt while wanting to swing with Mark and…

What Mike Valenti Tells Friends About His Twitter Exit

It's been nearly three years since 97.1 bloviater Mike Valenti stopped posting on Twitter. Other than some dumb Steve Urkel meme 11 months later, Valenti has been a ghost on the Twat since December of 2014. I've chronicled this cowardice in the past both on this website and on the first episode of the "DSR…

THE FOUR PLAY APP MYSTERY LINGERS

Readers familiar with this website might recall a story I wrote this past February regarding a suspicious story the local Detroit media covered about an alleged million-dollar payoff via a smart phone app. Both Channel 7 and the Detroit News ran apparently unvetted stories about a local business called "Four Play…

Tigers Fan in GIF Wants Team to Lose!!!!

The Detroit Tigers are fucking awful right now. Like, ridiculously terrible. They are 4-20 this month and in the middle of a seven-game losing streak. At the end of July, management wisely QUIT on the season and dealt J.D. Martinez, Justin Wilson and Alex Avila for a potpourri of prospects. At the end of…

Chris McCosky Admits He’s No Journalist

It takes a lot to shock me these days, but I woke up this morning to an article in the Detroit News by Tigers beat writer Chris McCosky that absolutely floored me. It wasn't surprising that McCosky once again went to bat for outgoing Tigers manager Brad Ausmus. I've been expecting that garbage from "Officer Barbrady"…

I woke up this morning fully believing that I had written my last Brad Ausmus related article ever. I have a backlog of topics I need to get to (an update on a DSR Investigation, Kellie Rowe, preparation for the next "TV" show, etc.) and the last topic I wanted to broach ever again…
