Recap: Stoney's Live Chat
10:36 AM kahnman24: Hey Stoney - getting away from the Lions. Heard that Bruce and the band are meeting to decide their future. Any thoughts?
10:36 AM Conor ban: oh i know that was absolutely terrible
10:36 AM Stoney971 ban: I aggree Conor.Horrible game, but he is not a horrible player
10:37 AM Conor ban: I wanted to punch hin via tv
10:37 AM Conor ban: And why did best find it to be a good idea to cut back at the goal line... could have cost the game there as well
10:37 AM Conor ban: just an awful final minute to the game
10:37 AM Stoney971 ban: kahnman, that is the word.i hope we get a tour in 2012
10:37 AM Sav ban: how about this management team and coaching staff, they will get to the line give them a chance they have made this team competive with the linebackers, houston signing, and depth O-line will come
10:38 AM kahnman24: One name to keep in mind - Alto Reed. He'd be a great fit.
10:38 AM rhernals ban: if they can draft o-line and secondary next year.. they will be in a good position to win the division
10:38 AM Stoney971 ban: you know Sav that is a great point. you cant fix all the holes in 1-2 years
10:38 AM rhernals ban: they have gone from 0-16 to wildcard contender in 2 years... amazing
10:39 AM rhernals ban: could be dominating in a weaker division
10:39 AM Conor ban: And Stoney what are your thoughts about Leyand stating that he would not start Verlander in game 4 if they are down in the series?
10:39 AM Scott ban: Do you think the Red Wings will land a big name at the trade deadline? Someone like Jarome Ignilia or Ryan Sutter? They have room under the cap this year.
10:39 AM Stoney971 ban: kahnman, i doubt that would happen. my guess would be a horn section with the trumpet player Curt Rahm(sp) from the last tour
10:40 AM Stoney971 ban: i disagree with Leyland on that point. but thats his call and he has been pretty good with that stuff this season
10:40 AM MJZ ban: oy vey! Bruce chat? Lions are 3-0 ... Tigers heading to the playoffs and we've got Bruce chat???
10:40 AM Conor ban: I would LOVE a Ryan Suter at the deadline but I hear they are really looking at Brendan Smith to be a big player down the road
10:41 AM Stoney971 ban: Scott, I cant predict trade deadline stuff now, but they should have some cap room thats for sure. Suter would be great, but i dont think the Preds would move him to us
10:41 AM rhernals ban: how about Pettigrew and Young stepping up... other teams can't afford to double-team CJ, we've got too many other threats
10:41 AM Conor ban: They are telling Filipula to shoot the puck more so we will see how much he contributes there
10:41 AM Stoney971 ban: MJZ..i just answer what is asked...
10:42 AM Stoney971 ban: so MJZ what is your question to add to the discussion on our 3-0 team
10:42 AM Conor ban: I disagree given the possible magnitude of that game, do you think that his decision would change based on how deep he has to go into the bullpen the previous game?
10:43 AM Stoney971 ban: maybe COnorf..and we know he also has the right to change his mind
10:43 AM Conor ban: If for whatever reason he has to bring in Below in the 3rd inning and then have Coke do a few innings that could probably swing his mind somewhat I would think
10:43 AM MJZ ban: More of a comment than anything. even down 20-0 at halftime I didnt have that "doom and gloom" feeling this time. Yes, I'll admit I was thinking "Same old Lions" ... but I wasnt compelled to turn off
10:43 AM MJZ ban: the TV as in prior years
10:43 AM Conor ban: A year ago I would have turned it off at halftime
10:43 AM Conor ban: I just have a much different mindset going into every game
10:43 AM Conor ban: I am just wondering when the lack of a run presence is going to get exposed
10:43 AM Stoney971 ban: true MJZ.there is always hope with this team. That was the worst half of football they have played in a long time
10:44 AM MJZ ban: that first half was worst than some of the games from 0-16... but still FELT like it could work out
10:44 AM Scott ban: Stoney, I have to disagree with you on the SNL segment you guys played today. It seems like SNL is trying to just get cheap laughs. SNL died when Sandler, Farley, and crew left
10:44 AM Stoney971 ban: its really going to cost them Conor when they want to pound the ball to kill the clock and they can't..thtas why the loss of Leshoure was costly
10:45 AM Stoney971 ban: Oh Scott.I am not a fan of SNL the last few years, but that skit was hilarious
10:46 AM Stoney971 ban: then again,as I always say..COMEDY is subjective
10:46 AM Scott ban: to each is own
10:46 AM Stoney971 ban: true enough..some people think Gallagher is funny..some people dont laugh at Woody Allen movies
10:46 AM Conor ban: 3-0 is 3-0 but having only 235 yards on the ground through 3 games will not get you anywhere in this league
10:47 AM Stoney971 ban: It might still get you in the playoffs.The league is becoming more of a passing league..They certainly need more balance thats for sure
10:48 AM MJZ ban: Conor, that might be a valid point, but having 5 legit recieving weapons on the field at any given time is a huge problem for the defense
10:48 AM Matt Dery ban: Backus is a good guy
10:48 AM Stoney971 ban: so are you MAtt
10:48 AM Conor ban: If he went to Fresno State no one would say a thing I agree Matt
10:48 AM Conor ban: Welll.... less would say something
10:48 AM Stoney971 ban: you mean Les Izmore
10:49 AM thepiratesheep ban: As irrevelent as that return would have been in the chicago game, how crazy was that play?
10:49 AM Matt Dery ban: good in the community. tight with brandy and rosey. cut him some slack. LOL
10:49 AM thepiratesheep ban: and for the life of me, I watched replays of that, and couldnt find a hold at all
10:49 AM Stoney971 ban: nuts pirate..nuts
10:49 AM Conor ban: Do you think Backus likes Party Rock Matt?
10:49 AM Matt Dery ban: Conor knows his stuff
10:50 AM Stoney971 ban: Backus is an average left tackle..always has been..nothing more.nothing less. Good season last year.Horrific game yesterday
10:50 AM thepiratesheep ban: more of an MVP to their team, Denard or Verlander?
10:50 AM Matt Dery ban: Actually.. i'll take Backus over Cherilus anyday and.. I think Backus would be an upgrade over Peterman at guard
10:50 AM MJZ ban: everybody has a bad day.. he's usually servicable, yesterday was an anomoly IMO
10:51 AM Matt Dery ban: I love the Schwartz full-body first pump btw. guy is a winner
10:51 AM CBSDetroitModerator mod: We have 10 minutes left with Stoney get your questions in now
10:51 AM Matt Dery ban: shut up evan
10:51 AM Matt Dery ban: hahahaha
10:51 AM Stoney971 ban: good question...but its dennard,cause without him Michigan would be as good as getting chupa chips for halloween
10:52 AM Matt Dery ban: I saw denard at the grocery store today. told him to toss me a bag of chips.. he threw them at my feet
10:52 AM Stoney971 ban: do you think Backus is mobile enough to play guard
10:52 AM MJZ ban: Heres the crazy thing about Denard.. Michigan is going to be better off when he's gone. He's crazy talented but he forces Borges to cater to his strengths.. and it's not what UM football is going to..
10:52 AM MJZ ban: ... be in 5 years
10:52 AM Conor ban: I just don't know why Michigan doesn't try and fit Denard into their offense in places instead of fitting an offense for him
10:52 AM Conor ban: I think that's what's holding back MI from going to the next level
10:52 AM Christos ban: Hey stoney, how do you think Michigan will do in the Big Ten?
10:52 AM Conor ban: I saw Denard at a 711 and said hey toss me a pay day... guy set off my car alarm
10:53 AM MJZ ban: you cant take the ball out of Denard's hands
10:53 AM thepiratesheep ban: better catch of the weekend, Austin Jackson's catch, or Megatron's overtime catch?
10:53 AM Stoney971 ban: true MJZ. but the receivers they have are not pro style either..i think the cupboard was left bare of big tall receivers
10:53 AM MJZ ban: what you CAN do is put in a package with DG and DR in the backfield together and THAT would cause probs for a Big10 defense
10:53 AM Conor ban: megatron given the circumstances for sure
10:54 AM Stoney971 ban: I think Calvins was better.
10:54 AM MJZ ban: Calvin's was bigger.. by a mile. AJax's was jaw dropping (as usual with him)
10:55 AM Stoney971 ban: Christos, I think Michigan will go 4-4 in Big 10..minny,purdue,and get 2 from the rest
10:55 AM Rusty ban: Lost in the thrilling Lions victory is the fact that backus almost singlehandedly lost the game for them. Is he done after this season?
10:55 AM Conor ban: Stoney do you have a very early prediction for the Red Wings season... I can only assume playoffs but hope I am wrong with a second round exit yet again
10:56 AM Matt Dery ban: wings need to get bigger on the blue line
10:56 AM Conor ban: I hope Commodore can be an asset back there
10:56 AM Conor ban: guy kills it on twitter, just needs to do work on the ice lol
10:56 AM MJZ ban: I'm realllly curious to see what Ian White looks like paied up with Lidstrom
10:56 AM Stoney971 ban: Rusty.He was horrific, but remember it was not just him that led to being down 20-0..
10:57 AM Conor ban: I really want to see how much Kindl has matured
10:57 AM Scott ban: Some early predictions I have read have the Caps beating the Hawks in the Cup finals. I don't buy that for a second!
10:57 AM Stoney971 ban: i will say the Wings will lose in the Conference Finals this years
10:57 AM Conor ban: Oh wow the Hawks?!
10:57 AM Conor ban: they unloaded like half of their roster because they can't do contracts well
10:57 AM Conor ban: Oops... Hossa
10:58 AM MJZ ban: Hawks? dont see them getting through the nucknucks, sharks or Wings
10:58 AM Conor ban: I see em fighting for the 8th playoff spot yet again
10:58 AM Scott ban: Who in the West is better than the Wings right now? The Sharks and Canucks are not playoff teams. Who knows which Hawks team shows up this year.
10:58 AM Stoney971 ban: NHL is too unpredictable to predict
10:58 AM Conor ban: The sharks look much different now too
10:58 AM Matt Dery ban: is tony esposito still in net for them?
10:58 AM Conor ban: Havlat is now their top scorer
10:59 AM Matt Dery ban: What tv network is the NHL on?
10:59 AM Christos ban: Do you think the Wings will be in the east next year?
10:59 AM MJZ ban: Vs.
10:59 AM Stoney971 ban: SHarks made a good move getting Burns,,and event though they gagged in the finals, you cant coutn vancouver out
10:59 AM Conor ban: Heatly and Setoguci are on the Wild... wonder what that will do for Backstroms confidence having some scorers in front of him again
10:59 AM Scott ban: How about that Cleveland NHL team Dery?
10:59 AM Conor ban: last good guy they had was Gaborik
10:59 AM Scott ban: GO BARONS!
10:59 AM Matt Dery ban: now scott is on fire!
10:59 AM bestum ban: hey

10:59 AM Matt Dery ban: on chester
11:00 AM Conor ban: And how about the Bengals... they make the Portland Trailblazers of 10 years ago look like a bunch of Mormans
11:00 AM bestum ban: where can I find the turley chat from this morning
11:00 AM Stoney971 ban: I was actually a fan of the WHA Cleveland Crusaders with Gerry Cheevers

11:10 AM Matt Dery ban: i think they will play.. but not on time
11:10 AM Stoney971 ban: try following @thebillWalton awesome
11:10 AM Conor ban: has there been any further development on if Kobe is going to Italy?
11:11 AM Matt Dery ban: i only think kobe goes to italy if the entire season gets wiped away
11:11 AM Stoney971 ban: i could care less where Kobe plays.The only thing that sucks is the people who need the NBA for their livelihood to survive
11:11 AM Conor ban: I think that's why a lot of players are reluctant to do anything because is it if they sign to an international team they are out for the season?
11:11 AM Conor ban: or was that like just China or something weird
11:11 AM Matt Dery ban: stoney is right. i'm already out some cash. sucks.
11:12 AM Matt Dery ban: just china
