As a Michigan girl, I naturally rooted for the Tigers (even if my "home" team sucks, I'll still root for them. I'm not that into sports and I don't care enough to really "scout" out who's good/bad).
Honestly...I really got into it. I think it's kind of fun watching sports. Although, I must say it's helpful that your home team actually wins some (lionscough).
I'm glad the media has been focused on Detroit...even if it the sports' teams. Detroit suffered a lot...car industry--government bailouts etc. It's kind of fun to see Detroit in a positive light.
It gives the people hope.
Hope, that even though their world crumbles--they can still pack into their favorite bar, shout at TV screens and root for a (winning) home team and have bragging rights (even if the team loses, you can still have some sort of rights...?)

I agree with you about Detroit!
