The NFL Blackout Rule, Beating Detroit While It's Down

The below image is from the wonderful the506.com, who each week puts together a map of the US and their corresponding NFL broadcasts. As you can see in the image below Detroit fans are getting punched in the nuts. The Lions did not sell out their game, and why would they with the Lions and Rams combining for 1 win, thus the Lions game is blacked out in the local market. What sucks the most is that not only do they not get to watch the Lions game, who cares really, but they don't get to watch any game on FOX, instead they are just stuck with the Cleveland vs. Chicago game, wooo. Can't we just be nice to Detroit and let them watch the Eagles Giants game? I think they have been through enough.

Numbers On Steroids: Bret Boone

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. Mr. Boone was once the best power hitting second baseman in the league. How questionable was his success? Averages Say: Why the extra plateu in his mid 30s? At Bats Per Home Run Says: Lowest at Bats Per Home Runs at 37? Hmm.... Explaining It Away Yeak, this one is tough. Umm, late bloomer? He showed potential power early in his career and he just liked playing in Seattle a lot more than everywhere else? And umm, his career was kind of like a running backs in that it just all of a sudden fell off the map? Any of these convincing you? The Verdict Guy never hits more than 24 home runs in a season and then in his age 32 season he hits 37? And in SafeCo a pitchers park to boot? And he follows that up with 24, 35, 24 homer years still at SafeCo? And then he completely falls off the map in 2005 never to be heard from again? We've got a Screamer... Man Get Big Muscles In 30s. Hm...
