Not true ! Coaches at ANY level would not be coaching if the goal is to achieve "personal bests". We become coaches, whether it is Little League or Major League, is because we wish to develop Champions ! So, stop telling lies.

The only lame asses seen throughout this whole thread thus far, are those who are too afraid to reach for the skies.

Detroiters will never get anywhere or achieve anything, if the predominant attitude is that it CAN'T be done.

The correct attitude would be to look at these numbers:

Restaurants: 35,421
Bars: 3,844
Nightclubs: 400
Museums: 734
Live Theater Venues: 710
Sports Venues: 57
Sports Teams: 7

And stack up our Metro Detroit numbers, such as how many restaurants do we have in the Tri-County area; how many bars, nightclubs, museums do we have through Southeast Michigan; how many Live theatre and sports venues do we have in Metro Detroit .....

Then, push for Michiganders, Ohions and Midwesterners to spend their vacation dollars going to these places here. Shoot for the skies - So what if the sky happens to be NYC. For what it's worth, NYC was once just soil and dirt too. And by the way, in case some of you folks are unaware, Roger Federer didn't win the US Open this year. Hmmm ..... I wonder if Juan Martin del Potro spent his weeks and months prior to the event just basking in the sun feeling happy that his "personal best" is all he wishes to achieve.
