With the recent admission by Lance “Big Brown” Armstrong of his steroid use I thought it would only be appropriate to start this post with drug use in sports. I think we all can learn a very valuable lesson from the horse racing community and just assume that all athletes in professional sports for the past 40 years have used drugs. Weather its performance enhancing or recreational almost all athletes are on drugs and I don’t want to live in a world where they are not!! Drugs have provided so many great sports moments that pulling them from the game now would be like turning back the clocks and shutting down the internet.

Happy Thursday morning or afternoon wherever you may be.  Yes, by now you may have heard (if you care about this sort of crap) that Duke lost last night on ESPN.  In front of the nation, all eyes on the prized #1 team in the country.  And poof!  Coach K had no answer for the sheer embarrassment that took place at the hands of the "U."  Now, I will bask in the satisfaction of seeing the floor slappers made into a mockery for a second.  Pause.

Better start this off with a warm welcoming return by saying that it's been too long of a hiatus on these pages for the Ghosts.  And also for a disclaimer, I really no about jack shit when it comes to who you should take this weekend in the Conference Championship games.  If you're looking for sound advice on who's actually going to win/cover and all that jazz...there are much better resources.

Editors Note: This is the first installment of bizarro-world Lost starring some of our favorite characters from around the sports world. Before you dive in to Episode 1, it’s essential that you read the preamble from last week detailing the cast of characters and their Lost counterparts. Hope you enjoy!

The story begins on day 17, with the majority of the Losties huddled around a towering campfire.

Let's face it; the city of Detroit is bleeding like a stab wound (both economically and literally) and could use a little pick-me-up, something to stop the bleeding.

In case you have never seen a sports movie; when the going gets tough and the townspeople get down on their luck, the factories shut down, and the houses get foreclosed, it's the sports teams that pull through to raise the spirit.

As much as I hate to admit that I actually buy this magazine now and again, have you ever noticed every issue of Men's Health is exactly the same? I'm not really sure how they get away with this, but save for maybe a couple 500 word pieces on some dapper metrosexual, they literally rerun the exact same articles month in, month out.

Given it's derby weekend, we thought we'd provide the sphere with a little carnal knowledge on an integral part of the weekend. You see, ever since the demise of internet gambling, betting on horseracing has become a bit trickier. Fortunately, while our righteous lawmakers consider it immoral to bet on human sports, there’s seems to be a loophole that we can freely blow our personal fortunes on sport, just as long as it includes the mistreatment of animals.

Lions fans and non-Lions fans alike perpetually joke about the woeful draft history of the Matt Millen era, but today over lunch (two crunchy chicken tacos, one soft corn tortilla steak, side of Mexican rice, some chips and uber mediocre salsa), I poured through the draft analysis in the recent Sporting News and saw this woefulness quantified.

It's been an eternity since the Lions have been relevant. Of course don't cry for us Detroit fans. Yes, we're just another blog about everything and nothing. Coming live and direct from a Spartan and a Wolverine...imagine that.
