You might want to lighten up on the koolaid, Book. Individual players do not a team make. Look at the obvious. The Wings were lucky to even make the playoffs this year. They have an outside shot, nothing more. The Tigers will go back to the playoffs only because the AL Central reamins woeful. The Pistons are a joke. The Lions are too busy trying to keep their players off IR and the police blotter to consider a playoff run. When their head coach isn't going berserk, he's bumbling game strategies. The once mighty auto industry is all but gone. Outside the Fox district, the city of Detroit remains a crime-infested wasteland. Everybody outside of southeastern Michigan knows this, as do some of us that live there. So tell us once again just how competitive this city and its teams really are.
