Detroit newspapers faced a double challenge when the Red Wings played Pittsburgh in the Stanley Cup finals and the Pistons met the Celtics in the eastern conference playoffs. Both teams lost, prompting both the Free Press and The News to use "The Pitts" in a main headline. About 2:30 a.m., the Free Press said on its Web site: "Still in control" after the Red Wings' loss in Game 3. There was no coverage of the Pistons. This morning's Freep used the entire front page in a Stanley Cup Finals Edition. It featured a column and the same sentiment as its Web site: "Wings aren't about to panic now." The Newseum's film "Press Box: History of Sports Reporting" reminds us that sports is news. And Detroit newspapers often prove it.
