Deeetroit Everything

In the spirit of Detroit Piston PA announcer, Mason, who coined the phrase,
Dee-troit Bask-et-ball - let's switch that phrase for a day to Dee-troit Every-thing.

On this joyous 2007 Mother's Day, is there any other city in the country who is dominating the sports scene like Detroit? In the last 23 games played by the Tigers (12), Pistons (7), and Wings (4), only the Tigers have lost a game, once.

Today, Detroit will dominate the national airwaves as the Pistons, Red Wings, and Tigers will all be on National Television. In a region that is most certainly suffering from an employment standpoint, it is good to see the blow somewhat diverged with the success of the local teams.

Like soap, if you are a fan of Detroit its best to take this moment and work up a good, thick lather, and enjoy this synergy of dominance.

For the last couple of years there has been anticipation of the Pistons and Red Wings both taking the Titles in the same season. Finally, when least expected, there is a solid chance that this will come to fruition with both teams potentially battling for it all in June.

Of course, there is always a possibility that the road ends up short for both the Wings and Pistons, but us Detroiters relish the opportunity, as opposed to watching from the sidelines like Miami and Dallas fans.

Would it be something to host a World Series, NBA Finals, and Stanley Cup all within an eight month period? At this point, we are on course to be the only city to swim in such success.

So, give mom a hug and take her to brunch, then enjoy the day of our teams being jammed down America's throat.
