On January 4th of 2010 the mystery of the missing webmaster was solved. Roger (our famed webmaster) had the audacity to make a trip to Tennessee on a family vacation. I guess that was good for Chip because no one went at him for the challenge as Chip struggled the last two weeks. Because we kept more prizes than we lost; maybe for the playoffs Chip will offer a “Playoff Challenge” for all of you out there.
I hope everyone had a great holiday season and that you are ready for 2010. On April 11th, 2010, we will mark the end of two seasons for ST60 and a third will begin. Hard to believe that we have been on the air for two years. Our thanks to each and everyone of you. We are thinking that the ST60 crew should have a hugh Birthday Bash, because words can’t express how much our listeners and sponsors mean to us.
Remember to tune in Friday and we’ll see ya there.

Thusday night, Chip and I were honored to be MC’s at “Jakes Again” for the Wayne Goodfellows “No Child without a Christmas” fundraiser. The night included raffles and auctions and, because I enjoy auctions so much, I must admit to taking over the auctioneering.
We had a great time and many of Jake’s regulars came with big big hearts and made the night a success. Chip and I were able to meet some new friends, eat some good food and help raise money for a worthwhile cause. Kudos to Jake and all his patrons who helped make it possible that “No Child is without a Christmas”.
Well the news that Tiger fans did not want to hear is spreading across the airwaves. Not only has Granderson been traded to the yankees, but Edwin Jackson has been traded to the Diamondbacks. The winter meetings are in session and Dombrowski is once again trying to rebuild a team.
Tiger fans are surely upset with Granderson being traded but the object of the game is to win. Payrolls are sky high and the Tigers may have come out on top in this. There is no argument that Mr. Dombrowski has made some great moves in his years here.
While the tigers went to the big game in 2006 and were in first place this past season, every deal will not always be a fan favorite. Look at the Tampa Bay Devil Rays a few years back. Although they didn’t win the World Series, they were in it with a team of young gifted players and a low payroll. Tiger fans need to stay Tiger Fans, pack the stadium and support those who wear the Ole English “D” because, in the end, this is our team.
Spring training will have some new faces, and some of our favorites will surely be gone. I will miss Curtis and Polanco too, but I say we give this team the chance to prove themselves.
Sunday, December 6th and Monday, December 7th, 2009 games with Chips picks in BOLD
New England Patriots vs Miami Dolphins
Philadelphia Eagles vs Atlanta Falcons
Indianapolis Colts vs Tennessee Titans
New Orleans Saints vs Washington Redskins
Green Bay Packers vs Baltimore Ravens (42+ points)

The great thing about hosting our Sportstalk “60″ show is that we don’t have to cover just one sport. Last night Chip and I decided to attend the opener of the 2009/2010 Roller Derby season here in Detroit.
Now, you may be asking yourself, “do we have a team … a league? Well, the answer to both of those questions is a resounding YES. In fact the Detroit Derby Girls (DDG) are in their 5th season with four Detroit teams and a travel team.
It was the Pistol Whippers and D-Funk Allstars who kicked off the season, and on December 12th the Detroit Pistoffs will tangle with the Devil’s Night Dames. With the Drew Barrymore movie “Whip It” (filmed in Detroit), coming out soon, the popularity of Roller Derby should grow.
There were nearly a thousand spectators at the Masonic Temple “Drill Hall” in Detroit, where the Detroit Derby Girls play when they are in town. Playing to a crowd that pretty much filled the hall to capacity, the D-Funk Allstars won by a score of 175 to 69.
When you check out a new sport for the first time it is a learning experience. I caught on quickly about the Jammer, Blocker and Pivot, but I have to learn more about the penalties.
We had a great time watching the crowd get into the game, supporting their favorite skaters like: Diesel Doll, Black Eyed Skeez (last night’s MVP), Roxanna Hardplace, Cats Meow, Honey Suckit, Tinja, Sista Slitchya and all the others.
We would like to thank the DDG for inviting us, and Vicious Vixen for being our media connection. Try making it down to the Masonic Hall for some Roller Derby action, you won’t be disappointed.
