			<description><![CDATA[MICHIGAN
It should be anything but a pleasant Saturday night in Happy Valley for Rich Rod and the Wolverines. It wouldn't be surprising to see a score in the 38-0 range.
Unfortunately for the overmatched Wolverines, it is payback time for the rest of the Big Ten.
Speaking of Rich Rod, please tell]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Yes, Rod Marinelli must go now.
Here's why:
With the team going nowhere and the season over, it is time to look at next season and evaluate the talent. It makes no sense having a lame-duck coach do the evaluating.
Also, the players have no reason to play hard to try to impress a coach who won't]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[A few thoughts:
 I guess you can't blame Tigers manager Jim Leyland. Who wouldn't want a $4-million extension? The problem is you have to earn it, and Leyland, obviously, hasn't. He has next season, and if the team doesn't produce, he will be gone.
 Sounds fair to me.
* Speaking of the Tigers, it]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[  Well, the Lions' season was fun while it lasted.
  It took less than one pitiful quarter to prove what many had feared: the Lions' defense is terrible..
  The famed Tampa-2 defense, which brought the Bucs a Super Bowl, can only work if you have the right players. The Lions, as usual, don't.

    ANN ARBOR -- I found out Saturday how Michigan is going to make up the $4 million it had to pay West Virginia to let Rich Rodriguez out of his contract.
    Parking money.
    It now costs $40 -- that's right, $40! -- to park at the U-M golf course and some other areas close to the Big]]></description>

Well, if you didn't get enough of Michael Phelps swimming to eight golds in the Olympics, you will get more than your fill in the coming weeks.

			<description><![CDATA[I made my first visit to Pinnacle Race Course on Sunday and the place was pretty impressive.
True to their words, the management has tried to make it family friendly. There were pony rides and face painting. There were also a lot of kids, more than I have seen at an area race track.

 Stop it, please.
 In a city where most buildings are left to rot, this is actually a sign of progress. If you don't think so, drive two blocks farther down Michigan and look at the]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[
   I believe it would be a mistake for the Wings to re-sign Chris Chelios.
   I appreciate all that Chelios has done. He has sacrificed his body and been a leader on defense since joining the team in 1999.
   But, Chelios is 46 years old. Even though he works hard in the offseason, it's time for]]></description>

    On Saturday night, one out-of-touch radio host was debating the merits of a rumor out of Miami that had the Pistons trading Chauncey Billups]]></description>
