Campbell says SNF game at Houston last year is a big reason why he wanted #Lions to have joint practice w Texans this year. “Young talented guys, they love ball … a lot of guys over there, Brad and I like now, too.” Repeats immense respect for what DeMeco Ryans is building.

Trey Augustine had so much time on his hands this summer, he golfed twice a week. Without another medal to chase, he’s purely focused on unfinished business with the Spartans — and he says this year’s team will be known for their skill. www.cbsnews.com/detroit/vide...

Campbell on impending cuts around the corner: “my mind’s not made up — we’re gonna take it down to the wire.” “Today’s pretty significant” if you’re a “late climber,” aka the #Lions are still truly evaluating what’s open vs not.

You’ve heard of Tight End University… but most of the NFL’s best specialists have been quietly linking up for five years now, thanks to former NFL kicker Nick Novak. #Lions trio anchored their offseason training together at his “Pro Week” — pics and more in my story: www.cbsnews.com/detroit/vide...

I’d like to talk (a lot) more about Fedorov’s C4 Corvette featured in the Red Wings #retire91 announcement. What’s the local lore here? Where is it now? Notably, it dons the Dark Red Metallic paint instead of Bright Red Metallic that was closer to Red Wings Red.

We’re somehow halfway through the #Lions exceptionally long training camp this year, so Dan Campbell and I went 1-on-1 to discuss starting linemen, how the playbook is made, his “pups” that make his job easier, and his passion for violence. Watch here: www.cbsnews.com/detroit/vide...

This was Vin Scully's call of Henry Aaron's 715th home run. Tonight Major League Baseball cut off the first sentence, starting it with the "What a marvelous moment" part because they don't want to anger the white supremacists who run our country and of whom Rob Manfred is an ardent supporter.

Inbox: NFLPA, NHLPA, MLBPA, NBPA and MLSPA urge Congress "to reject any antitrust exemption or legal liability shield from legislation regulating college athletics," saying SCORE Act will permit collusion and continue historic denial of fair compensation for student athletes

Oshie choked back tears in his emotional retirement announcement at the Georgetown waterfront. Great live production by Monumental to honor an American hockey hero and Caps identity pillar. Even cooler to do this publicly for fans to see and hear it all.

102.6 mph to end the game!!! Tarik Skubal with not only the fastest strikeout pitch by a starting pitcher under pitch tracking (2008) But also the fastest 9th inning (or later) pitch by a starter in that span, surpassing Justin Verlander 101.3 mph on 7/24/09

Tarik Skubal — on pace for an even more historically successful, flame-throwing season than his AL Cy Young campaign — throws a complete game shutout with 94 pitches, ties his career high 13 strikeouts, and reminds #Tigers brass just how much he’s worth: a Brinks truck.

We’ve got a minute or so before Larson’s 45 minute window closes, and McLaughin is crying in the grass over a devastating crash and Dixon’s car is on fire underneath. My god.

I live for Martin Brundle’s grid walk. From a pure journalism and content perspective, every week I am in awe the way he owns the chaos — and I especially admire those who can live interview absolutely anybody who may pop in front of them. Like OBJ right now!

Tigers should get 3B/OF Matt Vierling back from injured list sometime this series for his season debut after sending him, Parker Meadows and Wenceel Pérez from Toledo to Lakeland on the fly to dodge weather issues on their rehab assignments. www.mlb.com/news/matt-vi...

It is my birthday!! I’m officially 29 meaning year 30 starts now. It’s been an eventful year and I’m looking forward to golf this weekend and all the ways I will grow in the coming 365. 🥳 Dare I ask for life lessons that really impacted you at this time?
