New Detroit River bridge to be named for Red Wings great Gordie Howe
A Great Honor for Mr. Hockey. A win win for Canada and the US. http://www.crainsdetroit.com/article/201......die-howe

I think it should be named after a woman.

Laura Secord comes to mind.

I heard there was a poem about her ... kind of.
I think it's funny to name things for athletes. I don't care one way or the other, I just find it funny since I have a hard time thinking of something less important than an athlete (other than an entertainer, but they are in the same cluster). In Green Bay, many streets are named for Packers (of course, much of that city is there because of the Packers). |

Gordie Howe was more than an athlete to Detroit.

Being one who has absolutely no interest or knowledge about hockey ... who is the guy in the picture? (I sort of know who Gordie Howe is).

Sidney Crosby. Arguably the best player in the world today.

So is Crosby a cross-dresser or something? Why the "Ms." joke?

I see. Thanks. (Now I probably know more than I ever needed to about the culture of professional hockey).

There's an old joke involving hookers and hockey players that this thread brought to mind.
