what you learn when you watch college hockey is to never complain about the quality of NHL refereeing ever again

took me a bit to put this together but here is my take on the Dylan Larkin situation: what his trade request means for his legacy, whether the Red Wings should go into a full-on re-tool, and the possible trade partners.

BREAKING: 4 ⭐️ CB Blake Jenkins committed to Michigan!! 〽️🔥
He's the No. 260 recruit in the country and the second blue-chip corner in the class. Jenkins picked U-M over SMU, Vanderbilt and others.

I am not riding the highs and lows of recruiting rumors and also need something substantial after what happened last summer with the blue chippers

Wrote up a post on what ails the Detroit Tigers (hint: almost everything) and offered some thoughts on where things go from here.

I know people love the great players and I do too, but the grand slams where the titans go down and a once in a 5 year opportunity for a title appears (2014 US, 2020 US, now this French Open) are almost more fun

Finally got around to writing up a thing on the end of the Pistons' season and what lessons we can learn from the 2026 playoffs.

at this point it might just be good for the Tigers’ season to be a disaster so the franchise can reset and adjust their approach and learn some lessons

This will be the first time this season where Detroit will have lost consecutive home games.

Pistons have played 20 playoff games the last two years, 13 of those games against teams that made conference finals. Only in one of them did they get run off the floor. Sucks it happened in Game 7 but we have a separate Game 7 where they blew the opponent out as counter evidence
Incredibly disappointing end to the season, obviously. Pistons didn't have it tonight. Plenty of work to do, but still an incredible season. Any notion that tonight invalidates what they built this season is nonsense.

This team came back from 20 down in the second half of an elimination game to save their season. Last two years they’ve twice staved off elimination by going on the road to win after losing a heartbreaking game at home.
This team has many questions but resolve isn’t one of them
