Detroit Sports Review: 1FD's Christmas List for each Detroit team...

15
Vote

by Oneflydude

Christmas is coming up and many people are asking Santa for gifts. I will be asking him for things other than presents wrapped in some lame ass, colored paper. I decided to make a Christmas list just for the hell of it. You guys haven't seen the fun side of me yet, so since it's Christmas time, why not show it to you guys now. Being the bais Detroit fan that I am, I will be giving Santa ten Christmas wishes for all four of my Detroit teams. You think Santa will grant 40 wishes for me? I don't know either but here are my Christmas wishes for each team..



Detroit Pistons

1) I want Flip Saunders to get past the Eastern Conference Finals this year.

2) I want Rasheed Wallace to use Rogaine so that he can get that bald spot out of his head.

3) I want Lindsey Hunter to just give up playing basketball and leave so he can make space for the other young guards.

4) I want Rip Hamilton to learn how to make a wide open layup. Oh, and can he learn how to play defense too?

5) I want Tayshaun Prince to get a tan so that he doesn't look albino anymore.

6) I want the Pistons to learn how to play well on their West coast road trips.

7) I want Rasheed Wallace to stop whining after every foul that he 'doesn't' commit.

8) I want Flip Saunders to run an effective zone defense to stop letting the opponents drive the ball to the whole.

9) I want Antonio McDyess to learn how to talk like a grown man, and stop sounding like a mix between Mike Tyson and Jimmy from South Park.

10) Last but not least, I want Amir Johnson to get some playing time so he doesn't stay on the bench and end up being the next Darko Milicic.


Detroit Tigers

1) I want Brandon Inge to get busted with steroids so all of his fans can get off of his nuts.

2) I want Brandon Inge to get traded for the prospects we gave up in the Dontrelle Willis and Miguel Cabrera trade.

3) I want to see Dontrelle Willis have a good 2008 season so he can shut up the racist Detroit fans for criticizing Dave Dombrowski for extending his contract.

4) I want Ivan Rodriguez to stop swinging at balls above his head and stop looking at strikes down the middle of the plate.

5) I want Gary Sheffield to stay healthy this year and not have to take his yearly cortizone shot(s).

6) I want Curtis Granderson to get some damn recognition, or at least more recognition than Grady Sizemore gets.

7) I want Jeremy Bonderman to figure out how to get out of the first inning without giving up six or seven runs; Bonderman's first inning ERA in '07 is 15.43.

8) I want Placido Polanco to stop being a p**sy and not sit out eight games with a sore throat.

9) I want the commentator, Rod Allen to stop saying, "Whoo! You couldn't sneak a piece of cheese past that rat!"

10) I want the third base coach, Gene Lamont to stop burning up runs by sending people home when the ball is already in the cutoff mans possesion.


Detroit Lions

1) I want Rod Marinelli to walk like a normal person. Not like someone that has s**t in their pants.

2) I want the Lions to get a new logo, so I won't have to look at that animal cracker on their helmet.

3) I want Mike Martz and Matt Millen gone.

4) I want the Lions front office to stop drafting great, young players because they're ruining their career by bringing them to Detroit (I have an article on that coming soon...).

5) I want the Lions to relocate to Lansing, Michigan, so when I tell somebody that I'm from Detroit, they don't automatically think about the Lions.

6) I want Jon Kitna to learn how to throw the ball to a 'reciever on the field', not a reciever that is on the sideline.

7) I want Cory Redding to get a sack, and stop letting that $49 million contract get to his head.

8) I want Lions fans to stop falling into the trap when the Lions go 6-2, because all they will do is get their heart broken.

9) I want Barry Sanders to come out of retirement and give the Lions a decent running game for at least one season.

10) I want the Lions to stop ruining the momentum of the good Detroit teams.


Detroit Red Wings

1) I want Dominik Hasek to be as good as Chris Osgood.

2) I want Wings fans to stop thinking that Dominik Hasek is better than Chris Osgood.

3) I want the Wings to not end up like the NHL's version of the [[New York Yankees]].

4) I would like for the Wings to go into Chicago and beat them, 10-0 (don't ask why).

5) I want the Wings to make the games exciting by NOT beating teams by three goals every night.

6) I want Henrik Zetterberg to stop taking slapshots on breakaways and shootouts.

7) I want more fighting from the Red Wings.

8) I want to think of more things to wish for from the Wings, but I can't because they're just too damn good.

9) I want to find other black people besides me watching Detroit hockey because I feel like I'm alone.

10) I want the Wings to put a woman on the ice to see if they could still win with her playing all game.


Just showing the fun side of me. And for your information, those are real wishes. One thing I do wish, is that all of you guys have a great Christmas holiday. Make sure you be safe and I hope you guys get what you want. Have a Holly Jolly Christmas and be blessed!!!

I ROFLMAOed at the NBA and MLB list by the way. I hope that Curtis Granderson gets some recognition as well. He is definitely a great athlete who is extremely underrated. He is also one of 4 players in MLB history to hit 20 HRs, 20 doubles, 20 triples, and steal 20 bases in the same season. How amazing is that!? Plus, he's a great outfielder with a whole lotta range.

I also hope that Rasheed Wallace can be able to do a "Just For Men" commercial someday too, OFD. How long has he had that bald spot? Like, 20 years?

Well, Detroit has a history of it. Remember Dmitri Young and Carlos Pena? They were bums here in Detroit but now they're playing great in Washington and Tampa.

JD Drew and Inge? Two different people with similar numbers. Drew was a big prospect coming up to the Majors. Nobody knew who the hell Inge was. He is only known for a web gem or two a season. Oh, and leading the league in K's too.

And a sucky April. He was 0-25 until he got his first friggin' hit! A .134 AVG in April, .213 OBP, and only 10 hits in the whole month.

Yeah. I like Inge because he's been with the Tigers through the good, bad and ugly. But it's just time for him to go. We have a dangerous lineup now and there's no need for him to slow us down because he wants to swing at balls that are at eye level.

Dude, you have a Yankee lineup now. Check it out.

Pudge, Carlos Guillen, Edgar Renteria, Placido Polanco, Miggy Cabrera, Magglio Ordonez, Curtis Granderson, Sheffield, and any outfielder.

That's an All-Star lineup right there. I'm glad that they don't have much pitching, because if they did, there's no way any team would have a chance against them.

I already feel like it's been 6 months since the last game of the World Series. The offseason is always slow, especially when you can't wait for the season to start (which is every year for every REAL baseball fan)

I don't know. I really enjoyed watching the Indians/Red Sox series. It was pretty close. I think it'll depend on how well the players can stay in shape. Detroit's Miggy Cabrera hasn't stayed in shape for the past couple of years. Boston has learned from their mistakes and definitely know that staying away from the DL is key to winning a lot of ballgames; plus they rely a lot more on their younger guys; it'll depend on how well Schilling, Wakefield, and Dice-K do I guess. As for Cleveland, they just have to keep doing what they're doing. They're a very good all around team. Next season will be fun to watch.

I think the Sox have a pretty good rotation, and several dangerous hitters on their squad. But the Sox didn't have a better lineup.

I concur, OFD. Their pitching was the main reason why they got to the playoffs, and the World Series, and of course winning it all. That's just my opinion though.

Why would they want to move to Florida? They'll have their attendance/year cut in half.

Have you seen Barry lately? I dont think you need him coming out of retirement. Last time I saw him it looked like he had put on a little bit of weight. Plus its not like Martz would run the ball even if they had Barry in his prime.

That's what I said. BUT, look at it this way: their pitching hasn't been going well for them. Sure, they have Dontrelle Willis now, but he hasn't even been doing good in the NL. What makes people think he'll do well in the AL? Remember when Josh Beckett wen to the AL his first year?

| v

Then, you have Kenny Rogers, who hasn't been very good/healthy since he got injured last season, Nate Robertson (sucks), Jeremy Bonderman (sucks), Andrew Miller (sucks)... I think the only decent pitcher they have is Justin Verlander.

The Tigers will be just like what the Yankees were over the past couple of years. That's just what I predict.

Andrew Miller was part of the trade... he is in Florida now... Zumaya is back though... and this Tigers line-up is better than the Yankees line-up...
