After killing Blake Griffin softly on TV last month (he might've wished for a second take to take back his words on First Take), Chauncey Billups discovered he has a soft spot for the team he took to a title nine years ago (for the record, nice guys can finish first; see: Robinson, David). Traded away in 2008, Billups was content to be back in destitute Detroit, a city that officially declared itself bankrupt yesterday. It's safe - and sad - to say the wheels have fallen off in the Motor City.
Jesus Chrysler, that place needs to be saved by an almighty force (not the federal government, this time). Our idea for the municipality to make money is for Mayor Dave Bing - who by the way is in the basketball Hall of Fame - to take on the middle name "Microsoft" and schill for the search engine. In all seriousness, there is no simple solution for rescuing a region reportedly $18-20 billion in debt, so be sure your checks clear, Chauncey.
