Things had been pretty quiet around the Motor City Sports Blog offices the past week. The brouhaha over Sidney Crosby’s snub of Nicklas Lidstrom, as well as the fact that our Winged warrior came up one game short of the cup, has worn off.

Pistons beating Red Wings in TV ratings
May 27, 2008 By Leave a Comment
The Detroit News has an interesting article about how the Pistons, in head-to-head competition with the Red Wings, are winning the battle for TV ratings. On Monday, the News says: “the Pistons Game 4 had a 15.1 rating, while Game 2 of the Stanley Cup drew an 11.5 rating.” Interesting, but hardly statistically relevant. The [...]
