What do you have against Mitch? Some sort of bad personal experience? He's the BEST damned hockey writer, ever, and pretty good with his other columns, sports or not, too. And as someone who lived in Detroit for ten years (but no more), he has a valid point about the general "goodness" of Detroiters. I mean, where else is there an annual, spontaneous, community urban renewal project where old derelict buildings are torched? What a grand tradition...

Did you read that column? Sap Albom is a great substitute if you're out of emetics. He's all about pandering your tears out of you. I want to shower after I read him.
