So, last night, I was sitting at home wallowing in my own despair over some of the day’s events. Not that it takes a lot for me to drown in my own misery, but needing only Orb to win the Preakness Stakes to complete a $1,575 Pick-5 as the overwhelming favorite at Pimlico only to watch him never lift a hoof during the second jewel of the Triple Crown didn’t help matters. At all.

Mr. Goodwill,
Last night, I sent you an email inquiring why you weren’t covering that evening’s Pistons/Raptors game at the ACC in Toronto.
I was advised by DetroitSportsRag legend, Brian “Spilt/Brung/Bo Knows/Christmas Ornament” Richard Coburn, that Terry Foster was blabbering all over his 97.1 talk show that he was making his “annual trip” to cover the Pistons in Ontario because you cannot gain access to Canada because you do not have a Passport or an Enhanced Driver’s License.

When Barry Sanders retired from the NFL via a facsimile machine on the eve of Training Camp in August of 1998 there were two camps of Lions fans on the topic.
The vociferous majority blamed it all on the greatest player in team history and labeled the guy a quitter. They called him a coward for running to London, England while leaving his teammates holding the bag. When the Ford Family later sued #20 in an attempt to retrieve money they felt owed to them, this pathetic fan base supported the litigation.
Hell, the best running back ever EVER couldn’t even attend a Pistons game at the time without having his grill splashed all over the Palace Jumbotron and he had to suffer the indignity of getting BOOED by his former supporters.

Back in April of 2001, a Detroit sports team owned by Mike Ilitch got eliminated from the playoffs when dropping four straight games to end their season.
Yep, after losing the first two games of a first round series, the Los Angeles Kings got up off the mat and defeated the Red Wings in the next four games to prematurely end the Stanley Cup aspirations of Mister Eye.
Keep in mind; this wasn’t a franchise that hadn’t won a championship in 28 years. Nope, the Wings were in the midst of an absolutely unbearable THREE-YEAR banner drought.
Mr. Henning,
Back in the 1990′s, Dave Dombrowski was the General Manager of the Florida Marlins. You might recall that Mr. Dombrowski won a World Series with that team.
Early in Dave’s regime, he began dating a woman named Karie Ross. The problem was that Ms. Ross worked for Channel 4 in Miami and covered the Marlins as part of her job assignment.
Jeff Moss and Justin Spiro wrap-up “Jim Leyland Fan Appreciation Day” on the September 27, 2012 episode of the DSR on Tee-Vee.
Included in tonight’s episode:
Part 1
Part 2
The following is a video of Jeff Moss arguing with Comerica Park Guest Services and a Gestapo Usher about their decision to censor the “Let Leyland Go” t-shirt from inside the bowels of Comerica Park.
The arguments by these IDIOTS are unbelievable.
Anyway, Moss ended up wearing the shirt throughout the concourse where he received many high-fives, thumbs up and laughs from fellow Tigers fans.
The number of Tigers fans who claimed he was showing “poor sportsmanship?” NONE!!!!!!!!
Not to go all Nate Silver at fivethirtyeight.com on you, but the polls are in and Tigers fans want to see Cancer Stick GONE.
And it isn’t even close.
Click on the picture to the right to see the NIGHTMARE lineup Moss concocted from the entirety of Imbecile Relic’s career in Detroit.
(And no, Moss doesn’t really think this will end up on ESPN. Maybe the ACLU’s next webcast, but not The Mothership.)
Jeff Moss’s wife (Melissa) attempted to get an autograph from 97.1 Fanboy Slapdick Scott “The Whale” Anderson before the Tigers/Royals game on September 27th as part of the “Jim Leyland Fan Appreciation Day” festivities.
After asking for Melissa’s name so he could personalize his John Hancock, Hungry, Hungry Hippo was on the verge of signing the document when he recognized the DSR banner at the top of the piece of paper.
He politely told Melissa that “I don’t like those guys” at the Dirt Spurt and refused to scribble his name although he did say it was nice to meet her. Thankfully for Melissa, there were no “69″ resets.
At that point, Anderson booked out of the area like he was headed to an All-You-Can-Eat Chinese food buffet to avoid the oncoming onslaught he was about to get from Melissa’s husband, Justin Spiro and HeathBlizzGuy.
Thanks to Brian Cavanaugh for videoing the exchange.

A couple of years ago, Cleveland Indians management hired Manny Acta to manager their low-rent baseball team.
When the decision was made that the former Washington Nationals field boss would be taking over the Tribe, 97.1’s Matt “The Weasel” Dery met the announcement with tremendous glee.
As you probably already know, the career update anchor is a Cleveland native and one of the biggest Indians fans on the planet. I was initially taken aback by Dery’s enthusiasm considering Acta put up a record of 158-252 in the Nation’s Capital.

Earlier this afternoon, ESPN1090′s Damon “The Dog” Perry dedicated a segment of his program to an interview with DSR Correspondent Emeritus, Justin Spiro.
Spiro discussed his three day “Fire Leyland” protest at US Cellular Field and other Cancer Stick related topics.
Enjoy.
