By Justin Spiro spirojus@GMail.com September 2, 2014 A week ago, during a particularly disengaging afternoon in my endless academic career, a simple idea came upon me like an unmarked box of narcotics on Drew Lane’s back porch. It was a brilliant idea in its simplicity, and the excitement ignited my…

By Jeff Moss DetroitSportsRag@GMail.com September 1, 2014 Look, I think the hacking of Justin Verlander, Jennifer Lawrence and other celebrities is disgusting. It's a total violation of privacy and I don't endorse the behavior at all. In the last year, we have now been subjected to the release of images of…

By Jeff Moss DetroitSportsRag@GMail.com August 26, 2014 As that DSR-exclusive photograph above would illustrate, this upcoming season will be the first since the John F. Kennedy assassination that won't involve William Clay Ford, Sr. as sole owner of the Detroit Lions. Yes, after a historically awful ownership run that not only saw…
