Pistons GM Gets Into Heated Altercation With Fan & Detroit Sports Has Bad Weekend | The Daily Ticket

Hey everybody what’s going on Jeff rer another episode of The Daily ticket this one for the 11th of March it’s a Monday it’s 2024 and I would like to say welcome everybody to the start of NFL free agency noon today teams and players can start negotiating contracts with each other on

Wednesday we hear that those players will sign those contracts but today we should know who the lions are interested in maybe they trade for leria Sneed I hope that to be the case maybe they go a different Road in free agency maybe they do nothing Brad Holmes pretty much said

From the get-go don’t expect anything crazy so we’ll wait and we’ll see tomorrow I got to believe the daily ticket’s going to be all about free agency but today we got to focus on a totally shitty pathetic weekend in Detroit sports now to be fair as I’m

Recording this podcast it’s 6:13 on a Sunday Michigan state is still playing so the Spartans who fell down big to the HOA daddies yesterday at assembly they still have a chance to win in at least semi- saave the weekend but for the most part this has been the

Bloodiest weekend in Detroit sports that I’ve ever remembered just an awful weekend where do you want to start you want to start with Michigan basketball they lose by 15 the Nebraska on senior day there was legitimately nobody there there might have been like I don’t know four people maybe five to

Be fair there was like I don’t know a third of Chrysler Arena showed up I actually saw some Michigan State people talking about Michigan fans saying what a pathetic fan base you don’t show up on senior day to support your kids like why would you product’s awful do you know that

They lost a School record 23rd game yesterday finished last in the Big 10 for the first time since 1967 and there’s rumors and reports that Jaan Howard’s gonna be back like what the hell are we doing this team has seemed disengaged unpassionate for pretty much the majority of the season

It’s been a colossal show and you’re gonna bring the head coach back but I wouldn’t doubt it considering Ward Manuel runs the athletic department and that seems to be like in shambles too so Michigan get their ass kicked as you could assume they would regular season

Over on now to the Big 10 tournament which I got to believe they’ll lose in the first round and then the season officially thank God will be over Red Wings are on some kind of skid aren’t they over the weekend they lose not one but two games they lose a gimme

Friday in the desert against the Coyotes team that had lost 16 of 18 games they had played the night before the wings roll into the desert it’s a home game because there’s so many wings fans in Arizona to watch this game and the wings no showed in the first period literally

No showed down three nothing to the coyotes of all teams in the first 20 minutes ended up losing four nothing couldn’t even get a goal then they play the second game of the back toback showed a little more hard in Vegas but ended up losing five to three do you

Know when you watch this podcast or listen to this podcast the wings might not be in a playoff spot anymore less than two weeks ago the wings were nine points up on the playoff cut line now Islanders can catch him capitals can catch him the wings

Might miss the playoffs they had an 84% chance to make the playoffs then they put that stupid patch on the Jersey the priority patch next thing you know they lose five straight they don’t even compete in most of these games Dylan lur got hurt Michael rasm might be hurt he blocked a

Shot with his wrist on Saturday nothing’s gone right and they might miss the playoffs Steve Eiserman didn’t make any moves either essentially at the trade deadline like my God what a shitty weekend but we’re just getting started because it wouldn’t be a weekend without talking about the LLY Pistons who gave

Up a 142 points to the Mavs 142 points to the Mavs and Saturday night but they suck Pistons do not the Mavs and we knew these things happen but the big news coming out of the Pistons and this is just unbelievable did you see what happened

With Trey Weaver at Ellie BOS MBA first I saw post this video and I had to work yesterday I was sitting out of my car I was eating a little Subway I was getting ready to come in to do a 4-Hour show and I just happened to look here I’ll just show you

You’ve seen this video I don’t know how to put this video on this daily ticket episode but you’ve seen this video have you not that’s Troy Weaver right there yelling at a fan Troy saying you’re lucky I don’t kick your ass the fan says back Troy you suck next thing you know

The fan gets kicked out you have the GM of the Detroit Pistons talking to a fan You’ve Won 10 games why is sitting with the fans anyway apparently what happened was Troy always sits with the fans this fan in particular wearing a red wings coat and

Shirt went up to Troy told him how bad he was at his job Troy didn’t like it Troy got upset Troy said you’re lucky I don’t kick your ass the fans like wait wait wait wait wait he’s threatening me to security that came over to kick the

Fan out the fan ends up getting kicked out and Troy Weaver will not speak to anybody ESPN reached out to Weaver for comment Troy would not return the comment now I got a couple things and then I’ll give you more details about the story first of all you are the GM of

The Pistons your team blows you make millions of dollars why are you sitting with the fans like you can sit wherever you want but I gotta believe you got a suite at the LCA that you could sit at be comfortable nobody’s gonna talk to you that’s number one number two if

You’re Troy Weaver and you make millions of dollars you’re a smart guy don’t you think a fan might try to go at you a little bit you kind of deserve it don’t you as long as the fan isn’t going over the line nothing racial nothing personal about Troy or his

Family but if he says you can’t do the job well he’s kind of right you can’t do the job you’ve been here four years man team’s got 10 wins perpetually rebuilding so the fans right and by the way if you’re sitting with the fans and as long as again he doesn’t cross the

Line he should be able to Heckle I got no problem with a fan heckling I used to Heckle all the time back in my day I used to piss off players it was a great feeling when I knew I got to a player Elbert Bell got to him Mike hen

Got to him the list goes on and on and on mostly baseball players at the old Tiger Stadium but there was a certain high that went with the ability to Heckle somebody usually in a clever fashion I never went over the line didn’t need to I was a genius Heckler

Not a great radio host but I was a great Heckler I must say but yeah there was a couple times where the players react to you and you’re like yeah because that’s the only reason you’re doing it anyway so this fan heckles Troy Weaver Troy says you’re lucky I don’t kick your

Ass that’s his response I would have said hey Troy you don’t kick anybody’s ass you got 10 wins I did a radio show yesterday and Brian Chatman came in after I was done we did a little cross talk and Brian brought up a great point he’s like listen if two people are gonna

Be maybe kicked out of a basketball game who’s going to be kicked out first the guy that says you’re lucky I don’t kick your ass or the guy that says you suck at your job you can make the case that Troy deserved to be kicked out instead

Of the fan the funny thing is then we got numerous texts all saying the same thing at the next game instead of chanting sell the team I don’t know if they do that anymore I don’t even know if piston fans go to games they’re so bad but the next game they should chant

Kick Troy out kick Troy out kick Troy out like how ridiculously embarrassing you got the GM of the Detroit Pistons of a legendary franchise a historically great franchise you got the GM going at the fans dude this fan I would assume paid money to go to your game you’re going at the paying

Customers you have won 10 games what right do you have to go after anybody just sit and take it or don’t sit it all with the fans go sit in the suite we had a caller that called up said who am I more on me because I

Said Troy shouldn’t sit with the fans he can sit with the fans but he should expect what’s coming I do a radio show every day I open up the ticket text they’re all negative they all want to kill me this fan simply told Troy it wasn’t

Good his job and Trey reacted poorly so now in addition to having a god- aul basketball team you got a GM that tells a fan you’re lucky I don’t kick your ass but here’s the particulars let me read this to you because I wanted to get

The fan on the radio so bad he never called in I was hoping somebody a friend of the fan might have heard my radio show yesterday and would have got the fan to call it but it did reach ESPN because I remember seeing the video at like 1:30 yesterday when it was first

Tweeted out it’s now everywhere it’s spread like wildfire here’s the ESPN article says Pistons GM Troy Weaver fires back at heckling fan and stands Detroit Piston GM Troy Weaver had an exploitive laced response to a heckling fan in the stands and pointed the man out to security at Little Caesar’s Arena

The heated exchange which was shared on social media occurred during Saturday’s game a 14214 lost to the Mavs you threaten me the unidentified mad Was Heard saying to Weaver on the video Weaver declined to comment on Sunday Jeffrey Callaway a 46-year-old season ticket holder for for Detroit said he

Was sitting near Weaver when the fans approached the team’s general manager twice before being escorted away so the fan goes up to Troy probably tells him he sucks then he goes up to him again and then he gets escorted away quote this is from the season ticket holder

The guy that was in the incident with the Redwing stuff on came over and was pointing at the scoreboard earlier in the game unquote Callaway said in the telephone interview on Sunday quote Troy Weaver just Shrugged his shoulders and said okay and the guy went back to his

Seat then it goes on when Jaylen durren got ejected Midway through the fourth quarter the guy came back and told him that he was terrible at his job so the guy came back and told Troy hey you’re terrible at your job then Troy Weaver was telling the fan he had to leave and

That’s when ushers or security walked over unquote well first of all all he did was walk over to Troy Weaver and said you’re terrible at your job Troy makes millions of dollars to have a god- aul basketball team like just take the rip and move on he should

Have said yeah I am terrible at my job pretty cool I still have this job because the owner won’t fire me it goes on to say the fan was escorted away from the seating area by security workers and then it goes on to tell you how bad the Pistons

Are let me know in the comments section maybe I being too tough on Troy this is ridiculous is this a fireable offense I mean he’s not going to get fired you’re lucky I didn’t kick your ass he says how embarrassing how embarrassing that guy is paying for tickets to see your shitty

Product you should thank them so what tells you you stinky your job just take it move on like I’m gonna do right now I want to know what you think of this interaction maybe I’m making too big of a deal out of it I don’t know anyway let me check

The Michigan State score for you so we can find out if this truly is the worst weekend in the history of Detroit sports or maybe Sparty saved us currently oh Indiana’s up by one with 256 left to go so Sparty could lose this game let me get some comments and then we’re gonna

Go home all right I hope you enjoy your day the last podcast was about lerus Sneed I said the Lions have the need for Sneed some people like let me read you the reaction here we go comments this one comes from official unor Savage 9027 Sutton gets way too much hate for

Being in a bad pass defensive scheme now you’re probably right listen cam Sutton took a lot of grief he was never supposed to be your top Corner either so he’s going to be back if you go get aeria Sneed who by the way a lot of

Lions fans don’t seem to be down with that idea for some reason or another but Sneed your top cornerback and then Sutton number two and now you got some depth in the secondary which you really need let’s do a couple more at Bourn in Spain V says instead of need they should

Go get PS2 offer one first two thirds and a player like Houston and then people responded to that person saying no we want to keep James Houston he can really get to the quarterback and then of course people disagreed and they went back and forth if you want to check out

The comment section go look at the podcast but there’s a pretty hearty back and forth about if James Houston is any good or not and then there’s this one last comment this one from at Eber 710 talking about me this guy is by far the most annoying person you have I swear

Every time I find out it’s him I click on a different video everyone else is amazing just not this guy at least he thinks everybody else is amazing I then responded and I said hey thanks for watching so thank you I do thank you for watching so that’s going to do it for

The daily ticket let me know what you think about the Troy Weaver incident and this bloody weekend in Detroit sports when you watch this also please comment are the wings still a playoff team let me know man just despicable all around catch you tomorrow on a Tuesday maybe we

Got a free agent to talk about byebye

  1. Expletive laced?? Troy said one curse word lol. Troy needs to go, he terrible at his job and there’s no excuse for what he did but the media is even more ridiculous for how they exaggerate things that happen to get clicks. But yes please get Troy outta here😂

  2. Horrible look for Troy. Terrible product on the court for years, lackluster press conferences, no future ahead of us. And you’re gonna tell a fan I’m gonna kick your ass. He should be fired, he’s done an awful job and the fans are tired of it.

  3. If a player had done that, he would have been suspended. The NBA needs to step in and at least fine Weaver. He has no problem cashing his fat check, heckling comes with the job. If he can’t win, for his salary, he should at least be able to take the heat.

  4. I see both sides of it. If Troy did absolutely nothing while being heckled, people would still be talking about how he doesn't care. This was a guy looking for 5 minutes of fame just so that way he could get some viral attention. I don't think that Troy is without criticism, But there should be a line where we don't step. Nobody heard what the fan said before the video started that set Troy off. So I don't like the fact that the fan threw his hands up and tried to act like the victim. I think this was a lose lose because this also doesn't help people want to stay let alone come to help in the Pistons organization. Up until now Troy has always been respectful to other people and a class act. Unfortunately you just can't be that way in Detroit Because there's a lot of stupid people who don't appreciate people who are reserved and classy. It's all wins and losses with some people, and This is the reason why even Joe Dumars Doesn't get the credit that he deserves even though he brought us a championship.
