Don Cherry Calls Detroit "A Redneck Town"
I'm Guessing Mr. Sweet Suits Isn't A Popular Clown In Detroit


It's not often I watch Sportscenter, or sports in general, with my girlfriend. If it's not on Food Network, Bravo or involves four girls living a ridiculously unrealistic life in Manhattan then she's not interesting. But on the rare chances she's paying attention to those stupid games on my television she usually offers the most insight.

Tuning into the late edition last night up popped Don Cherry, making his first appearance on the WWL.
"Who's that clown, with the horribly fake tan? Is he saying anything meaningful or just talking loud."
Yep, that's pretty much it.

Anyways, Cherry went on to discuss attendance issues in Detroit and made a customary attention grabbing comment: "It's a redneck town ..." and went on to explain that Hockeytown fans want lots of hits, fights, and a different brand of hockey then they're current allowed under the new NHL rules.

The old school brand is what they want.

That may very well be true to a degree, there's a fair amount of rednecks, but if Cherry spent any time in the East side of Michigan lately he'd know that the economy is as poor as it is anywhere else in the country. It's horrible. At some point, people just shouldn't spent what cash they have left on a sporting event.

What is sad is your girlfriends quote could also apply to Around The Horn, Jim Rome is Burning, The Sports Reporters, and especially 1st & 10. PTI too if Tony had a tan also.
