Happy New Year!

What to Expect
I know it has been a little while since I have posted on here so please let me start by wishing all of you a Happy New Year and I hope you had a safe holiday season.

As we say goodbye to 2008, we could possibly be saying goodbye to the most amazing year in sports history. When you look back on some of the events that took place, starting with " The Catch" by David Tyree in the Super Bowl. Then we all remember (whether your a golf fan or not) Tiger Woods winning yet another Major, on a knee that had tendons that looked like shredded cheese. And of course, probably the most prolific event of 2008 were the Summer Olympics. One man, Michael Phelps changed the lives of many people, as they stayed awake into the wee-hours of the night or early morning to watch him break world records and make history. The viewing ratings sky rocketed compared to previous Olympics and gained a new generation of fans.

Of course we even had some highlights here locally. Once again Hockeytown erupted as Red Wing fans got to celebrate another Stanley Cup victory. Detroit also hosted the Women's National Soccer team against China down at Ford Field. The first national level event in Michigan since the World Cup in 1994.

However on the flip side, with the good comes the bad as well.
Thankfully as we say goodbye to 2008 we can say farewell to our 0-16 Detroit Lions. No more Matt Millen, or Rod Marinelli.

We can say adios to the last place Detroit Tigers. After spending oodles of cash on the big names in the offseason, only to fall below the Kansas City Royals and to the foes across the lake in Cleveland.

All in all, 2008 was a fun year in sports. Depending on who some of your favorite teams are, it may have been a better year for some. Personally I am looking forward to the new year, and what it might bring for the Michigan Bucks.

We are looking forward to annoucning our schedule soon, and we are working on filling out our roster as well. We have a lot of new things that we are going to introduce this year, and I can't wait to give you more details. So once again, goodbye 2008, and hello 2009.

Happy New Year everyone.
