Say It Ain't So Stevie Y, Red Wing Fans Will Miss You.

Please say it ain't so.

After 27 years in Detroit, Steve Yzerman is leaving the Red Wings. The former center, captain, Stanley Cup winner and gold medalist of the Wings is leaving to become general manager of the Tampa Bay Lightning. The hall of famer was first drafted in by the Wings in 1983, retired in 2006 and worked in the front office as a team vice president. 


 Steve you were an essential part of the Wings success and a treasure to many Metro Detroiters. Thank you for being a class act. You will be missed.

Be An All Star for Team Earth

April 22nd marks a special day.

All over the world millions are remembering the 40th birthday of Earth Day. Earth Day was started to bring awareness to environmental and conservation issues. Shouldn't awareness about the environment be every day and not just highlighted one day a year

It can. There are many simple, painless ways that you can help the planet every day.


You can start by simply recycling. Here is a photo of some of the many items that appear in my recycling bin. By recycling you are not only making less garbage, but what you recycle can often be used to make new items as well. There are also many ways that you can even recycle some used electronics. You can call your city for more info for what can and can't be recycled.


Instead of plastic bags, you can use canvas or ask for paper ones at your local stores. You can buy local and organic produce at your local markets.  You can buy products that use less packaging. You can bring a coffee mug instead of using styrofoam or plastic cups at work school or home.  You can even remove your name from junk mailing lists to stop unwanted mail and create less waste.  


You can use environmentally safe cleaning products. You can use cloths instead of paper towels for cleaning. You can use less energy turning off lights and electronics when not in use. You can even support businesses that are green.


By making a few small changes you can impact our environment greatly. We all share this world together. Why not do your part to keep it clean.


Make a difference. Make Earth Day every day!

Go Wings, Crush the Coyotes!

If you told me that the Red Wings were behind in the playoffs, I would have never believed it.  

After making it to two Stanley Cup finals in a row and winning the Cup in 2008, the Wings are behind the Coyotes 2 games to 1 in the first round. After another loss to Phoenix 4-2 on Sunday, the Wings post season could be over soon.


Ok guys, no more excuses. Show Phoenix who's the best team in the NHL. Show them why you were the 2008 Champs. Let's make it back to the Finals.

Beat the snot out of the Coyotes, GO WINGS!

Happy Easter and Passover!

May the hope, peace of Passover and Easter remain with you and yours during this holy season.

Look Who's Going To The Final Four Party. Well Done Sparty!

Don't be alarmed! Hell hasn't frozen over yet. The world has not fallen off its' axis.

It's a rare sight to see a Wolverine fan telling Spartan Coach Tom Izzo and his team well done during March Madness. The MSU Spartans are heading to their second Final Four appearance in a row and their sixth in 11 years by beating Tennessee 70-69 on Sunday.

Thank you Tom Izzo for being a class act and giving this state something to be positive about.

Can Tiger Woods Be Redeemed?

The world can breathe a big sigh of relief. Tiger Woods has apologized. It's time for the media to give him some space and privacy.


After months of speculation and rumors of many affairs,  Tiger has apologized for his behavior. In a 14 minute televised speech,  he admitted that he had affairs and was sorry for his behavior. He asked for privacy for his family and blamed nobody but himself for his actions. He mentioned that he was going into treatment the next day and did not say when he would return to playing golf. 

Ok, the apology is a nice touch, but many questions still remain unanswered. Why did he crash that night, and why such secrecy around it? Why did he cheat? What took him so long to finally admit his mistakes? Can he still be a good role model? Can Tiger redeem himself in the public's eyes or is he finished?

Don't get me wrong. No one is a saint. We all have said or done things that we regret.  Nobody is perfect.

If Tiger wants to regain his creditability and save his marriage, it's going to take a great deal of effort and time. Once respect, trust and creditability are broken, it's very hard to regain it. No matter what happens, it can never be what it once was. You make apologies and try to make amends forever, but some doubt still remains. Once betrayed, you ask yourself, can you ever trust  again. Is there anyone to still believe in?


Ok, Tiger you said you're sorry, that was the easy part. Now here is the toughest part. You want us to believe in you again. Prove that you have changed.

You want to be redeemed, this time you're going to have to really earn it!
