In the past, it was almost a given that NFL teams would have their bye week following an international game. The reasoning was simple: after a tough travel schedule that includes thousands of miles and a drastic change in timezones, a team earned a week off to get home, rest, and re-acclimate. But that appears […]
The Pittsburgh Penguins have positioned themselves nicely for a potential playoff spot with their back-to-back big wins against the New York Islanders and the Detroit Red Wings. On consecutive nights, the Penguins blew past their opponents to give themselves a much better chance of making the playoffs now than they had just 48 hours prior. […]
Welcome to the Morning Commute Today we are talking about Mizzou Diamond Sports! It was an exciting day for Mizzou diamond sports as the Tigers hosted Kansas in baseball, and played Missouri State in softball. While the softball team got it done, the baseball team fell in a back-and-forth affair. Abby Carr shined once against […]
Jalen Duren scores 31 points to lead the Detroit Pistons past the Toronto Raptors 127-116, sealing their first Central Division title in 18 years.
Jose Fernandez. That is it. That’s the recap. Give the guy his flowers. From a pitching standpoint, Brandon Pfaadt had a very Brandon Pfaadt outing. He rolled through 5 innings, but was so bad in the 3rd the announcers on the broadcast thought he was tipping his pitches. Pfaadt was atleast able to give the […]
A night after a not-quite-comeback in Arizona on Monday, the Tigers were the ones with the comfortable lead for most of the game on Tuesday before it all went belly-up late in the game, ending up with a 7-5 loss. Making his season debut for the Tigers was Casey Mize, who had a generally solid […]
RUSS CHANDLER STADIUM — A couple weeks after suffering a tough midweek loss at then #4 Auburn the #3 Georgia Tech Baseball Jackets dominated now #18 Auburn 13-3 behind home runs by Vahn Lackey, Carson Kerce, Ryan Zuckerman, and a mercy rule enforcing solo shot by Caleb Daniel. Tech converted nearly all of their runners […]
Pregame The Penguins welcome Evgeni Malkin back from a four-game absence with a hand injury, but they have a scratch so late it doesn’t make the lineup card. Bryan Rust does NOT play tonight after taking warmup, his lower body injury keeps him out so Avery Hayes is in the game in place with the […]

Kerry Carpenter has been in a pretty rough place this spring. After a fairly good, but again injury plagued 2025 season, the Tigers’ right fielder and designated hitter came into camp looking to put together a more consistent 2026 and hopefully finally banish the back and hamstring injuries that have nagged at him for much […]
Talk about the game with Pens fans here!
The Detroit Lions face their most important and difficult offseason ahead. They’ll have to do work to get under the salary cap, rework some contracts to find some spending money, then fill what seems to be an amount of roster holes that grows by the day. With his work cut out for him, Lions general […]
Dave Birkett reported today that the Lions decided to exercise their contractual right to force retired center Frank Ragnow to pay back part of his signing bonus due to his retirement. I had a few questions on this and thought it would be good to share some thoughts about situations like this and what is […]
The Detroit Lions continue to fortify their secondary depth in free agency. On Tuesday, they announced they’ve signed free agent safety Chuck Clark. Clark was drafted by the Baltimore Ravens in the sixth round of the 2017 NFL Draft. Though he started out as a special teamer, he eventually worked his way into the starting […]
Every Major League Baseball team begins Spring Training with one goal in mind: to win a World Series title. The San Diego Padres are chasing the same goal, as their desire to win has never wavered. Disappointing opening series does not define season The opening series loss to the Detroit Tigers was disappointing and felt […]
The Detroit Red Wings have made a notable move, as they have signed top goalie prospect Trey Augustine to a three-year entry-level contract, which will kick in during the 2026-27 season. In addition, the Red Wings shared that Augustine has signed an amateur tryout (ATO) with the Grand Rapids Griffins for the remainder of the 2025-26 season. This is undoubtedly big news for the Red Wings, as Augustine is one of the best goalie prospects in hockey. Now, they will get their first chan...
The NFL announced on Tuesday they have approved five playing rules, three new bylaws, and one new resolution. One of those new bylaws could impact the Detroit Lions, and specifically the return of safety Brian Branch. The new resolution is regarding players who are placed on the reserve/Physically Unable to Perform list. As the rule […]

Here’s how it breaks down: As a matter of fact, Stafford has the highest […]
With April nearly upon us, it’s officially NFL Draft season. So, on this week’s PODcast, we make the pivot from free agency to the Detroit Lions’ upcoming draft. With a modest free agency period, the Lions will need to nail their draft to fill out the roster before the 2026 NFL Draft. And while the […]
After former Detroit Lions tackle Taylor Decker shared his frustrations with how his divorce from the team played out, Lions coach Dan Campbell offered his perspective on the situation. Decker bemoaned a communication breakdown between him and the team. In short, he believes the Lions failed to properly communicate that his return to the team […]
Just listen to the coach.
Todd McLellan is always good for a money quote, and the best one coming out of Monday’s practice, per MLive , was this:
“You shouldn’t be trying to extract competitiveness or heaviness out of the players at this time.”
That’s exactly it. Out of context, it’s a direct callout to the players. In full context (linked above), it may not have been quite as cutting — he’s answering a question on how to right the ship after a slide, and he talked about how the...
Who among us hasn’t yelled at an NFL referee on TV from the couch, frustrated by a call or lack thereof. Some fans’ may face even more frustration this season if the NFL can’t reach a deal with the referee union and some lesser-trained back-ups take their places. The current collective bargaining agreement between the […]
The Detroit Tigers floundered in the opening game of their road series against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Monday night, as Justin Verlander was anything but in vintage form in the team’s 9-6 loss. They will get another shot on Tuesday night in the desert behind their former No. 1 draft pick, Casey Mize, who opens […]
