• Follow regularly (17.1 percent)*
• Favorite team (12.8 percent)
• Venue with best overall experience (4.1 percent)
• Best front office (1.6 percent)

• Most overrated Detroit player: Tayshaun Prince, third, Rodney Stuckey, fourth (behind Ndamukong Suh and Johan Franzen)
• Detroit sports figure who doesn’t get enough credit: Greg Monroe, fourth (behind Martin Mayhew, Jim Leyland and Matt Stafford)
