Detroit Lions/Denver Broncos

I always assumed 'amateur sporting events' and 'pro sporting events' meant the same quality of sportsmanship play.  I'm now seriously having my doubts.  I watched the Detroit/Denver game last night, at least most of it.  One Detroit play lowered his head and slammed into the helmet of an opposing player.  That player had to go off of the field to see if he had gotten a concussion.  Accident?  Didn't appear so.  More good sportsmanship and other teams also do the following.  I watched a Lion continually rotate and raise his arms to get the home spectators to make lots of noise so the visiting team couldn't hear their quarterback's calls.  Apparently that Lion didn't think his team  could get ahead by just 'good' playing.  Must there always be what appears to be 'dirty tricks' in an attempt to come out ahead?  Shame on those players and spectators who must behave in this manner.  Come on Head Coach.  If you remain silent is this your way of giving approval?............................marge

Detroit Tigers. Don't do it!

Don't trade or fire a potentially great baseball manager.  The Tiger higher ups, it seems to me, made a lot of 'bad' trades the past few years.  Don't blame Ausmus.  A catcher has a better view of the whole game than anyone else.  He is slowly but surely building a 'solid' team and that can't be done overnight.............................marge

Think it over carefully

Is this what everyone wants?  No response to any emergency call?  Not a soul there for aid of any kind?  Take away the 911 number?  What would that leave us, a neighbor not home, no place to call, no hope for help of any kind?  Nothing is ever perfect, but knowing that there is always a number to call and trained people who love their jobs of helping others gives me the greatest of comfort.  Let us respect and protect those who serve us.  If not for them, what a sad world this would be and it's already sad enough..........................marge
