"(Linebacker Julian) Peterson instantly gives the Lions credibility on defense. We still have a long way to go, but I really like this deal. If only we could get (Denver QB Jay) Cutler!"

-- rainmker

"Anyone who thinks (Peterson's) over the hill is nuts. We are lucky to have him, and the coach and Mayhew should be congratulated."

Tigers

"Story Reads: '(Fernando) Rodney has great stuff and can strike fear into hitters.' Well I can tell you this much, he strikes fear into the fans watching him pitch."

-- ButchieYost

"If Rodney puts up a spectacular season in his contract year, that's fine. It gives (Ryan) Perry one more year to mature in the minors to replace Rodney in the future. Absolutely take advantage of Rodney in his contract year."

Red Wings

"Can someone please clear people out of the crease? Crash the net -- that should be all of our opponents strategies."

-- gree4

"If Ozzie (Chris Osgood) plays even decent in the playoffs, the Wings should win without much problem. I know, I know, some of you are going to say that's a big 'if.' Just think of what kind of pressure any goalie would feel playing for Detroit!"

Pistons

"I'm deployed in Kuwait right now, so I can't see the games, but why did all the starters play crazy minutes (in double OT loss to Houston)? Was it just one of those games or is (coach Michael) Curry scared to make substitutions?"
