Silverdome sells for $583,000?

I know that my job is to report basketball and this has everything to do with football. But, the Silverdome, a building that once housed the Detroit Lions, a building that cost $55,000,000 to construct was sold to a Canadian real estate company for $583,000.

I don't know if I should chalk this up as the deal of the century or chalk it up to the collapse of the Detroit metropolitan real estate prices.
Cheers,

A double double every game and a 16 game streak of 25+ points dating back from last season has fans thinking post season dreams. (Note: The streak ended last night against the Nuggets). But you can't help to ask the question, is it for the greater good for the Raptors? Or is he putting on a show for teams looking to scoop up the star forward come 2010?

For Raptors fans it's catch 22. If Bosh’s fantastic performance leads Toronto to their 6th playoff berth and they perform better than a first round knockout many would assume that CB4 will be ...
Welcome back Pops

The Toronto Raptors Announced today that they have acquired fan favorite, Pops Mensah-Bonsu off waivers from the Houston Rockets.
I really enjoyed Pops when he was in a Raptors uniform. He provided instant energy off the bench and was a rebounding machine. The addition will give Toronto a little more grit under the basket and give Triano 7 big men to play around with.
Welcome back Pops,
MC
