A Disastrous Start to the Tigers Rebuild

There was no question that Tigers GM Al Avila made the right decision 13 months ago when he started tearing down the team and officially closed the franchise's 11-year window to win a World Series that never came. Justin Verlander, J.D. Martinez, Justin Upton and Justin Wilson were all shipped to contenders for a…

Why I’m Joining the DetroitSportsRag (Fuck @Jack)

As many of you probably know by now, both of my Twitter accounts have been permanently suspended. @JeffMossDSR (along with 15,000+ followers) was banished back in early February. And @DetSportsRag was deleted earlier this week. I had scratched back to around 3,500 followers when that account was terminated. (more…)

The Cratering Ratings of 97.1

It's never been a secret that the ratings success of WXYT-FM (97.1 "The Ticket") has always been propelled by the Detroit Tigers broadcast rights. Anyone who has followed the Detroit sports radio scene over the last 25 years can point to two factors as to why 97.1 became a juggernaut…

DSR Sources: Henrik Zetterberg Headed to LTIR

Up until the last few days, sources had been informing the DetroitSportsRag that Red Wings' captain Henrik Zetterberg intended on playing one more season in Detroit before calling a career.

The Off-The-Record Condolence Text From Stoney

As we continue to commemorate the 15th anniversary of the DetroitSportsRag this week, I figured I would share with you one of my favorite stories that I’ve never fully told. (By the way, the official birthdate of the site is March 18, 2003. The day before the second Iraq war commenced to…

Chris “Officer Barbrady” McCucky Celebrates DSR’s 15 Year Anniversary

We started the DetroitSportsRag.com 15 years ago this week and the name of the website was picked for a specific reason. Rag. That was the first tip-off that this place was going to be a cesspool -- and it hasn’t disappointed. Rag. Rip. Shred. Destroy. That was always going to be…

Putin Is Fixing the KHL Championship for Pavel Datsyuk’s Team

Not that we needed any further confirmation that Russian dictator Vladimir Putin is a really bad guy, but we received it last night by the way of a bizarre thread on Twitter regarding the Kontinental Hockey League. If the former KGB operative's fixing of the 2016 Presidential Election wasn't bad enough (along with…

Chris McCosky Has a New BFF and His Name Is “Gardy”

Last September when it was announced that the Detroit Tigers would part ways with manager Brad Ausmus, Detroit News beat writer Chris "Officer Barbrady" McCosky penned an extraordinary article that infuriated local sports fans AND several of his co-workers at the paper. (more…)

Fuck Pavel Datsyuk

The headline on the Detroit Free Press website should be of no surprise to anyone who’s followed Pavel Datsyuk's career closely: "Pavel Datsyuk: Gold medal means more than Stanley Cup titles." (more…)
