Sorry for all the anomosity, I'm still sore at Ricky for Stiffing the T-
WOLVES.  The hand-shaking incident last year....at that cute little smirk of 
ZEKE.  Let's not forget Mr. Morris.  Granted all these grudges are 
personall, but all of the above originated from DETROIT, or at least are 
associated with the Detroit orgs.  I know I know....Isah is from Chicago and 
Jack from St. Paul...but Detroit must have corrupted them.  

I don't hate the Lions though, after the VIKES their my next favorite NFC 
CENTRAL team that starts with an "M".

I'm sure in time I will come to appreciate the PISTONS, but only after 
Bill, Zeke and Rodman are G--O--N--E.
sorry
