"Grow up."

My, a little touchy, aren't we. So what you don't like pro sports. You don't have to, but millions of people do.

Fan in Michigan love pro sports (and show it with their pocket books). The "Joe" holds 20K and the only way to get season tickets to the Red Wings is for someone to die. The Pistons lead the NBA in attendance (22K+). Even when they are lousy the Lions sell out Ford Field and the Tigers sell a million tickets. And a 100K+ show up at MIS for NASCAR races.

And is that is not enough, how 'bout those that love college sports. On a given Saturday over 200K could be watching football at just 3 schools - UoM, MSU, and WMU. 75K paid to see MSU play Kentucky in Basketball last season, and 75K saw UoM play MSU in hockey a couple years ago.

And now that the score for the opening game is posted, I can say more emphatically - GO PISTONS!
