I noticed Jerome Bettis was getting a key to the city (Detroit) this week. Pretty good, huh? On second glance, it is Detroit after all. The city that has gradually evolved into the American symbol for crime, poverty, police/political corruption, poor educational systems and an overall cultural drab.

Isn't this the city that has only given four other "keys of honor"? The others? I know of three ...

- Jerome Bettis - Louis Farrakhan & .... Sadaam Hussein!

Then again, what would you expect from a city that has a nickname like "New Fallujah".

Sorry for the mispost! Please correct the title and remove the vanity that included Eminem. Thank you!

I realize that there's a lot of Detroit-bashing this week from whiny sportwriters who don't like 30-degree temperatures, but this is a new one . . .

I hear Detroit is referred to as "New Fallujah".

Didn't realize Fallujah was that dangerous.

Boy... it's sure nice of Detroit to supply a neutral venue for the Superbowl.

Nice to see they recovered the key. I heard it had been stolen.

Detroit bashing...as expected. Thanks.

Wasn't the last one they gave out given to Saddam?
