This week, our topics include:
After two weeks of Sherrone Moore driven embarrassment and coaching search drama, the University of Michigan fell ass backwards into a quality coaching hire. Former Utah head football coach Kyle Whittingham is the new man running the Wolverines.
The Detroit Lions quite possibly played their worst game of the Dan Campbell era in a 23-10 Christmas Day loss to the Minnesota Vikings. The loss ended the Lions' postseason hopes and exposed several issues that will need to be addressed in the offseason.
The Detroit Pistons are currently playing one of their toughest stretches of the season - 8 road games (including a West Coast swing of 5 games in 8 days) in a 10-game stretch. Despite the difficult schedule, the Pistons remain at the top of the East with a 24-8 record, holding a 1.5-game advantage over the NY Knicks.
