Hire Millen. Aw, come on, if you don't laugh now, you'll cry. It can't get any worse, but it keeps getting worse. There's no lower to go, but they keep going lower. The Lions fell behind by 31 points Sunday, didn't score until the third quarter ...

We never took off the ties. The athletes got flashier. The analysts got louder. It would have shocked no one if the host and the three panelists undid their Windsor knots, unbuttoned their collars, and got down and dirty with the rest of the sports business.

Taking contract negotiations to the public never seems like a good idea. Yet that's essentially what Jim Leyland did yesterday while talking to Mitch Albom on his radio show. “I have not been extended,” Leyland told Albom, “and I’m not gonna be extended… There was some sense of an offer that I did not accept. “I’m not afraid of anything. I want to manage the Tigers. I have every intention of managing...

Jim Leyland wanted a vote of confidence. He didn't get it. He had a talk with his boss, Dave Dombrowski, but when it was done, Leyland had the same one-year left on his contract that he had when it started.

They may have just come together, this Michigan football group, a beleaguered collection of young players and a new coaching staff, lugging a wagon full of headlines that said the experiment wasn't working, it's taking too long, it's embarrassing, it's a mess.

Gotta love Mitch Albom. His folksy, leftist populism has always been a big hit with sports fans in Detroit. Mitch is crafty enough to be overtly non-partisan, but if you read his columns long enough, you get the impression that he’s a closet D. Reading Mitch’s piece yesterday on the firing of Matt Millen, I’m buoyed [...]
