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.

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.

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 […]
After an up-and-down road trip the Raptors returned home to win two straight games in a dominant fashion. Now, they embark for a single away game to face the Detroit Pistons for their third and final contest of the season.

Through four games of the 2026 season, the San Diego Padres have managed a grand total of nine runs scored, while allowing 16 runs to the Detroit Tigers and the San Francisco Giants. The Padres dropped the series opener to the Giants at Petco Park on Monday 3-2, but the score makes the game appear […]
As they have with both Calvin Johnson and Barry Sanders, the Detroit Lions forced retired Frank Ragnow to return a portion of his remaining signing bonus. Talking with the Detroit Free Press recently, Lions team president Rod Wood revealed that the team recouped a portion of the remaining $3 million in signing bonus prorations left […]
The Detroit Lions don’t appear to be too concerned about the availability of cornerback Terrion Arnold, despite some perceived ties to a robbery incident that has already resulted in six arrests. During this week’s owners meetings in Arizona, head coach Dan Campbell revealed that based on conversations they’ve had with Arnold themselves, and the information […]
The Detroit Lions have the 17th overall pick, and with the 2026 NFL Draft under a month away, general manager Brad Holmes is likely narrowing his options at that position. Obviously, his primary goal is to evaluate talent and find the right fits for the team. However, maneuvering around the draft is also very important […]

Record: 1-3. Pace: 40-122. Change on 2025: -1. If there was ever the need for a palette cleanser, after the disappointing sweep in Los Angeles, it was in tonight’s home opener at Chase. Early on, the D-backs delivered in no uncertain fashion. The offense matched the entire run production of the opening series in the […]
Things finally came full circle after eight years and seven months away from home. Justin Verlander returned to the mound in regular season action as a Detroit Tiger on Monday night in Arizona.
