Hey Mitch. Read Your Paper Today?

Yesterday, we took a kindly glance at Mitch Albom’s most recent bit of garbage…his manifesto on the attendance problems at the Joe. I’ll avoid blasting that little girl any more than we already have, because it’s an A2Y business rule to avoid redundancy again and again. If you’d like more of that, I’d suggest going to my displaced twin brother, Big Al at the Wayne Fontes Experience. Al and I agree on pretty much everything, which makes him a frigging genius.
His current rant regarding the Delicate Genius is absolute brilliance.
My point today though is that there’s an article in this morning’s Detroit Free Press—allegedly, the company that employs Mitch to write about sports—that he may find interesting.
Thursday night, Joe Louis was nearly full by the end of the first period. A free T-shirt promotion had created long lines at the entrances and the crowd arrived unusually late. Yes, there were empty seats, but nothing like the recent past.
That’s from Shawn Windsor, and it appears that he may have actually been at Joe Louis Thursday night. As we know, Albom’s attendance at the sporting events he deems glorious enough to cover is not always mandatory.
Would like to hear from someone who was there. Was it as empty as the little fella said? Or does Windsor have it right? The 19 need to know.

About Abel to Yzerman
Welcome to Abel to Yzerman, a Red Wing blog since 1977. No other site on the internet has better-researched, fact-laden and better prepared discussions than A2Y. Re-phrase: we do little research, find facts and stats highly overrated and claim little to no preparation. There are 19 readers of A2Y. No more, no less. All of them, except maybe one, are juvenile in nature. Reminding them of that in the comment section will only encourage them to prove that.
