As far as American sports cities go, I would agree with this actually.

But for all time in the world, you would be hard pressed to meet the passion level for sports in any city in Austrailia. Those people are bonkers.

online voted by the portion of the general public that also happens to be a sportingnews.com reader...


Well shit... that's about as scientific as the NHL all-star starters voting. So congrats.

They did, but McCarty works at that Hardcore Pawn place now. And apparently has a little free time.

The article doesn't really give much detail....like why Detroit was #1 in the first place...what the other cities where?...what was the criteria?....I'm hungry for me detail...

This takes the edge off that Worst City for Everything Except Sports award they won last month.

On a related note, Sacramento was just voted the sexiest city in America by me. I think that they both have the same credibility. :p

Bad news, we're beating down Nickleback and sending them to you in a crate. This will not only shoot Detroit up the charts of livable cities, but also send your "sexiness" ratings plummeting.

By nearly an 8-to-2 ratio.

Am I the only one bothered/amused by this? :L Where is Darkside when you need him?

14 of 21 people agree with me.
