Detroit fans voice their displeasure through large cardboard number cutouts.
Detroit Lions to Become Expansion Franchise
Talks are alive between the National Football League and the National Women’s Football Association for the Detroit Lions (0-11 this season) to be the NWFA’s newest expansion franchise. The only holdup in talks is if the Lions would have to relocate and what the NFL would get as collateral. Michigan is already the home of the West Michigan Mayhem, so the Lions in Detroit would raise a conflict in interest.
Plaxico Burress Skips a Chapter
Shirley Grabowski, a librarian that works for New York Public Libraries, claims that she put a book back on the shelf that was checked out and returned last month by New York Giantswide receiver Plaxico Burress. The title of the book was “Handguns for Dummies.” Burress left a $100 bill marking his spot, the unread chapters included: “The Importance of Using Your Safety Lock,” and “How to Avoid Shooting Yourself.”

NBA Might Create New League Awards
For years the NBA has had it’s All-Defensive Team, 1st All-Team and 2nd All-Team awards to recognize outstanding players. David Stern is rumored to be in the process of creating a new team, the All-Injured Team. This year’s front runners so far are Carlos Boozer, Tracy McGrady, Gilbert Arenas, and possibly Shaq’s big toe by year’s end.
Lakers Opt to Thrown in Towel
The Los Angeles Lakers have won 14 games this year and lost two, both of those losses came on last second shots by their opponent. Buzzer beaters are the worst kind of loss, it is almost better to lose by 10+ than lose like the Lakers did to the Indiana Pacers on a last second tip-in. News has leaked that the Lakers are just going to lie down on the court if they find themselves down a basket with under a minute to play. Now when head coach Phil Jackson says, “they didn’t win the game, we gave it to him,” we will know it’s true.

The All-Injured Team is simply an extension of College Football’s ridiculous bowl system. Everyone gets a trophy, no one’s a loser, blah blah blah. You’re special, just like everyone else. The NBA should create the All-Mediocre team, headlined by guys like Darius Miles, Keyon Dooling, Sebastian Telfair, and others. You should take nominees for both rosters.

I’m just glad that the Jazz are doing pretty good even with all of their player’s injuries and absences so far this season! And Boozer seriously could make the All-Injured Team if it existed!
