Santa’s not the only one who has been making their lists and checking it twice.
I’ve got a naughty & nice list when it comes to sports in Detroit.
Here’s who deserves a visit from Santa & who deserves to be left with a lump of coal.
Nice: Lions head coach Dan Campbell.
Dan and his staff took a losing team and turned them into contenders with a 10 - 4 record and the Lion are now the NFC north division leaders
Naughty: Tom Gores and the Pistons.
The Pistons have the worst record in the NBA Eastern Conference 2 - 26.
Their season smells worse than Rudolph’s’ leavings in Santas’ back yard.
It’s like they forgot to how to play basketball.
Or have they just given up trying.
The games are not even fun to watch anymore.
Nice: The Wolverines
The Wolverines have a perfect season and once again are Big 10 Champions.
They’re also in the running for the NCAA championship.
If they defeat Alabama in the Rose Bowl, they’ll go to the National Championship game.
Naughty: Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh.
He served a 3 game suspension earlier in the season because of a recruiting violation.
He served another suspension do to an alleged allegation that his staff was stealing signals from the opposing teams sideline.
Naughty & Nice: Lions Players.
Let’s do the nice side first.
Like I said earlier, the team’s 10 - 4 and they’re on the verge of clinching the NFC North division for the first time in decades and make the playoffs.
The players have worked hard, played and won tough games.
On the other hand, they blew games they could have easily won including the game against the Packers on Thanksgiving Day.
The 1st. half of the game was brutal to watch.
Nice: The Ford family.
They finally got the right Lions coach and staff.
There’s no going back for this team.
No more 0 - 16. We fans have waited long enough for the Lions to be good.
Please don’t f*** this team up anymore, don’t blow it!
Naughty: The Tigers.
Although they ended the season 2nd. in the Central division, the team still had a losing record.
Even with a new manager and Miggy still on the roster, the team still couldn’t get it together to have a winning record.
At least the season wasn’t as bad as the 2003 season.
Nice: Miguel Cabrera
For 15 seasons, Miguel’s been a thrill to watch as a Tiger.
Whether Cabrera’s been winning batting crowns, hitting homers or making the AL Allstar squad many time, he’s been thrilling to watch as a Tiger.
Although he retired at the end of this season, he’ll still be with the Tigers in the front office.
Naughty: MSU football
The Spartans were 4 - 8 this season.
They also had a scandal where the head coach was fired because of a sexual harassment allegation.
The coach allegedly harassed a consultant who was hired to talk to the team about sexual harassment.
The coach allegedly made unwanted advances to her.
Soon 2023 will be over and it will be history.
Hopefully 2024 will be better.
Detroit’s one of the best sports town, period.
We’re loyal.
We love our teams through thick and thin.
It’s never a dull moment in Detroit sports.
