Detroit Sports

Well, the 3-5 Lions are a disappointment, as usual. But the Pistons are the sole remaining undefeated team in the NBA at 4-0, and the Red Wings have the best record in the NHL at 14-2-1 (for 29 points).

So...two outta three ain't bad, right?

Week Eight

Here are my NFL picks for Week 8...

Lions Beat Browns 13-10

Garcia started instead of Harrington, and the Lions won! On the road! And they get back to .500 (3-3), which is good enough for 1st place in the sorry NFC North...

Garcia threw for over 200 yards, with no INTs, and ran for Detroit's only TD. Hanson was 2-for-3 in FG attempts, and the Lions defense intercepted the ball 3 times. ..

Cleveland was held to a pathetic 73 yards through the air. The Browns scored their only TD on a kickoff return. They fall to 2-4...

Detroit Dismantles San Antonio In Game Four

Pistons win by 31-point margin, 102 to 71.

Seven Pistons score in double-figures (Prince, Sheed, Rip, Billups, Big Ben, Hunter, and McDyess). Pistons set NBA Finals record with only 4 turnovers in the entire game. Big Ben pulls down 13 boards, as well as 3 blocks and 3 steals. Even Darko scored 2 points and grabbed 2 rebounds!

Meanwhile, San Antonio only had three players scoring in double-figures. Duncan had 16 rebounds and 3 blocked shots, but shot only 5-17 from the field. Manu and Horry combined for a relatively dismal 2-8 from beyond the arc.

Series tied 2-2.

Pistons Win Game Three!

Rip scores 24, Billups adds 20, and Big Ben has 15 points, 11 rebounds, 5 blocked shots, and 3 steals.

Of course, San Antonio still leads the series 2-1...

PISTONS BEAT THE HEAT!

Detroit wins Game Seven 88-82. Rip scores 22, Sheed adds 20, and Billips seals the victory with four clutch free throws in the closing seconds.

The NBA Finals begin Thursday night, in San Antonio. Bring on the Spurs!

Pistons Win!

Tie series at 2-2. Rip scores 28 and Sheed adds 20. Big Ben grabs 15 rebounds. Shaq held to 12 points, 5 boards.

Game 5 is in Miami, on Thursday night...

Pistons Defeat Pacers In Six

Reggie Miller's career is over. The NBA just won't be the same without him.

Now the Pistons must face the Heat, who have the home-court advantage. I fully expect a seven-game series...

Eight wins down, eight wins to go for a repeat!

Jimmy Carter

Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter on Thursday harshly criticized his own country and other wealthy states for being stingy with foreign aid and said in rich countries "We really don't give a damn."

Story here.

It hardly seems newsworthy that Jimmy Carter, the 20th century's worst President, would "criticize his own country." After all, he's been doing that pretty much ever since he was swept out of office in a landslide, 24 years ago...

THE PISTONS

60 games into the season, they are 37-23 and look likely to end up the 2nd seed in the Eastern Conference (behind Shaq and the Miami Heat).

Next up: A home game against Utah. Should be an easy win...

When Chimps Attack!

This is a horrifying story:

Davis, 62, and his wife, LaDonna Davis, 64, were visiting the sanctuary to celebrate the birthday of a 39-year-old chimpanzee, Moe, who was taken from their home in 1999 after biting off part of a woman's finger.

The couple had brought Moe a cake and were standing outside his cage when the two young male chimps, Ollie and Buddy, attacked the man.

Two other chimps, females named Susie and Bones, also escaped from the cage. They were recovered outside the sanctuary five hours later.

Susie and Bones could have played a role in the attack, primate experts said.

"We know that one of the most reliable predictors of increased male aggression is the presence of sexually receptive females," said Jeffrey French, a psychobiologist who studies primate behavior at the University of Nebraska, Omaha.

The chimps chewed off most of Davis' face, tore off his foot and attacked his limbs and genitals. Davis was transported to Loma Linda University Medical Center, where he had surgery late Thursday night.

ELECTION DAY IN IRAQ!

It is upon us. A few predictions:

- The Shia turn out in massive numbers, over 80%

- The Kurds also turn out in similar numbers, and they elect a regional parliament with a large percentage of representatives who favor complete autonomy

- The Sunnis vote in relatively low numbers, like 40% or so

- A few suicide bombers explode themselves (along with innocent would-be voters) in front of polling stations

- The attacks and deaths will be what the media focus on

- Shia candidates will win the majority of the seats

- The UN, Jimmy Carter, France, Russia, Iran, the American Left, and the terrorists will all claim the election lacked credibility
