By Melrose Jerry Green DetroitSportsRag@GMail.com August 22, 2016 If you have been following this website for the past few years, you know just how dim the Detroit Red Wings’ future is. For the past seven years, GM Ken Holland has failed to put the team in position to compete for a…

By Jeff Moss DetroitSportsRag@GMail.com August 21, 2016 In case you haven't heard, Red Sox slugger David Ortiz is retiring after this season is over. Although I am actually dubious that the 40-year-old designated hitter will actually pull the trigger and submit his retirement papers since he currently enjoys a 4.2 WAR and…

By Jeff Moss DetroitSportsRag@GMail.com August 19, 2016 We are about a month away from the Detroit Red Wings' disastrous summer ending and training camp commencing in Traverse City so I thought this might be a good time to write an article on where the team stands. For one, Jimmy Howard is still a…

By Jeff Moss DetroitSportsRag@GMail.com August 17, 2016 You have to hand it to Mitch "Condescending Baggins" Albom. No matter how awful the optics of a situation happen to be, he just plugs ahead like he is royalty in some third world country. The rules for the rest of the journalism community…

By Jeff Moss DetroitSportsRag@GMail.com August 15, 2016 I have had an internal policy at the DSR for the last couple of years not to pick on Red Wings blogger George Malik. Not that there isn't plenty of material to work with, but I understand the guy has endured depression issues and I didn't…

By M. Gustave DetroitSportsRag@GMail.com August 15, 2016 Matt Dery is now a teacher.  I want to drink the same wine as Gertrude.  Matt Dery doesn’t get that reference. I have been in education for over ten years, teaching part-time at a college in Detroit, moving to a state that proudly…

By Jeff Moss DetroitSportsRag@GMail.com August 14, 2016 I don't care about the University of Michigan or Michigan State.

By Jeff Moss DetroitSportsRag@GMail.com August 12, 2016 It's been a long time since former WDFN and WXYT  program director/radio host Gregg Henson has been on the air in Detroit.
