Random thoughts, Detroit Sports Teams

Yikes! The Detroit Lions problems are spreading to the other Detroit sports teams! The Pistons are barely .500, and the Red Wings aren't the top team in the league! (Of course the Red Wings are near the top of the league, but for Red Wings fans that is simply not good enough, plus the goals against average is too high.}
I hope the Lions don't rub off on the Tigers, (sudden visual image I wish hadn't occurred) and that the Tigers return to their form of 2006, or was it 2007?
Anyway, it's Christmas and that means only one thing; Spring Training is only two months away!
{Actually Christmas means a lot to me and I don't mean to trivialize it. It is the time to celebrate the birth of Christ, and in doing so gathering with family and friends.}
But, the Lions ineptness appears to be infecting the other teams in the Detroit area and this has to stop! Maybe until this malaise is over we can refer to the other teams as the Michigan Pistons, The Michigan Tigers, or the Michigan Red Wings, but then Michigan isn't doing that well either. How about the Mid West Tigers? Nah, doesn't sound right.
How about the Los Angeles Pistons that play in Detroit? Or the Boston Tigers who reside in Comerica Park?
This may be solved by a Lions victory in one of the remaining two games. The Saints are coming to town next Sunday and that appears to be the most viable chance for a Lions victory, but finally getting a win in Green Bay isn't beyond the realm of possibility. Or is it? After all, with Favre in New York, the Packers could be had, well maybe, these are the Lions we're talking about.
How nice would a two game win streak be to end the Millen/Marinelli era?
