Classic runs a fair amount of Detroit sports events, so I'll try to keep an eye on the schedule and point out some good viewing for everyone here.

If someone else sees something of interest, make sure you point it out.

Anybody else watch Game 5 of the 2005 NBA Finals yesterday? (6 pm)

I caught a good portion of it and the most interesting thing that I noticed was how much crisper the ball and player movement was then (under LB) than it was this year or last.

Tayshaun was attacking the rack, and Sheed looked about 35 lbs. lighter.

It was hard watching Horry drain all of those 3's again.

I watched 2 of the bad boys finals games (parts of them). One against LA and one against Portland.

Classic arena football!!!!?????????

I take it the 94 game is Kordell's hail mary.

97 outback was Shaun Alexander I'm sure.

They used to show some USFL games on there and that is really interesting to watch, espcially the Michigan Panthers stuff.
