Is he a Power Forward or a Wide Receiver?


Okay, so I know I have a lot of CWebb posts but you have to understand that I love Michigan, I love the Pistons and I've always loved CWebb. I'm happy he's home.

But, #84? The only 84's I can think of are Randy Moss, Shannon Sharpe, Sterling Sharpe, Javon Walker, Herman Moore ... the list goes on with NFL players. It's going to be weird watching a basketball player wearing that number. I can't imagine a great deal of people buying a #84 basketball jersey but who knows?

Welcome Home!


Detroit has nothing but love for CWebb!

Motown Philly

In honor of CWebb's return from exile ... I mean Philly, I give you Boys II Men singing Motown Philly.


Who Says You Can't Go Home?

CWebb is coming home. I wonder what number he will wear since #4 is retired. I remember way back in the day when Joe Smith decided to sign with Detroit in the mid-season. I was so excited, I felt like it was Christmas all over again. That excitement had a shorter shelf-life than Joe's Piston career. Let's hope that the CWebb era brings us better results than Joe Smith did.

I also hear that Detroit is pursuing a Nazr Mohammad for Marko Jaric trade. I guess that's a so-so trade as long as Marko doesn't take any floor time away from my favorite Argentine, Carlos Delfino. Oh Nazr, we hardly got to know thee ...

Which Flip will be the first to go?

I'm no fan of Flip Murray and Flip Saunders hasn't set the Detroit basketball world on fire either. The Pistons have shown that they're not afraid to fire even the most successful coach ... how much longer can Flip Saunders hang onto his job? Those rumors of him going to the U Minnesota are sounding more plausible as each day goes by.

Congrats

Congrats goes out to my favorite Detroit Lion, Roy Williams, on making his first Pro Bowl due to an injury to Torry Holt. Roy had 82 catches for 1310 yards and 7 TD's.

Roy is always quick to give us the 1st down sign (because as he says, TD's are hard to come by in this league) and a great quote such as: "We're the best 2-6 team in the league."

I love his honesty and his youthful enthusiasm. Hopefully the Lions can turn this around and make us all believers like Roy.

In Roy I trust.
