Red Wings

Are the Red Wings Showcasing Andreas Athanasiou?

It's not a well kept secret that there is very little love lost between forward Andreas Athanasiou and Red Wings' management. The prolonged contract dispute over the summer -- which spilled into the fall -- led to the speedy forward missing the first ten games of the season. Eventually, Athanasiou held his nose, bit…

Graham Couch Is An Ignorant Unfunny Cunt

In all of the hysteria from right-wing dipshits like Cowboys' owner Jerry Jones and purveyor of shitty pizza "Papa" John Schnatter regarding some unproven correlation between lower football ratings and African-American players peacefully protesting police brutality, another potential explanation has been ignored .... The fact that some folks of good conscience might not be watching…

Braylon Edwards Out at 97.1 The Ticket

According to a source, former U of M standout and NFL wide receiver Braylon Edwards is no longer working at 97.1 The Ticket. And it has nothing to do with Edwards' on-air dust-up with Mike Valenti last month over Michigan State's most recent victory over Edwards' alma mater which got fairly intense. According to my source,…

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…

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…
