Detroit - and I'm not blowing smoke at anybody - is probably the greatest fan sports town in the country. They'll support anything.

Detroit is a city that really stands out. It's been through a very difficult time. There's been a lot of pain here, and the city, physically, has suffered. You can see it in certain neighborhoods, and there's buildings downtown that have been abandoned.

I believe that Detroit has a terrific geographic position. It still is a hub of one of the most important industries in the world. There's incredible engineering and other talent.

I see the people in Detroit are very - they're like a lot of cities, but they're very proud to be from there and they really want to see change and they really want to see good things happen.

I can read in any book and newspaper about the city of Detroit, but I want to hear what the people in Detroit have to say about Detroit. My best education is actually talking to people.

For me, personally, Detroit is a melting pot for everything. We get the best from the East Coast, West Coast and down South.

Detroit is full of talent.

Detroit is beautiful - though you probably have to be a child of the industrial Midwest, like me, to see it.

So if you want great sports, Michigan's the place to be.
