Latest blog entries from Detroit teams across every league
This offseason, Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell promised that, after a failed 2025 season, they will look at everything they do to see what needs to change. “When it doesn’t work the way that we want it to work, it’s a number of things,” Campbell said back in January. “There are a lot of things that go […]
Not too long ago, it felt like the Detroit Tigers would never win again. Following a five-game losing streak, the Motor City Kitties have now won four straight after taking the series opener from the Kansas City Royals on Tuesday night, 2-1. AJ Hinch and Co. have a chance to get back to the .500 […]
The Detroit Lions currently have a huge gap in their picks for the 2026 NFL Draft. After the 50th overall pick, the Lions will have to wait until Pick 118 until they’re on the clock again. That’s essentially two full rounds of draft picks that Lions general manager Brad Holmes and company will have to […]
Kenley Jansen needed little introduction when the Detroit Tigers signed the 38-year-old closer to a free agent deal back in December. He’s one of the truly great relievers in the game’s long history. The one year, $9 million deal was a pretty reasonably price for an all-time great even on the downside of his career. […]
In what is becoming a theme in this short season, the Kansas City offense no-showed and the bullpen again blew a slim lead as the Tigers beat the Royals 2-1 in Detroit. Until the late innings, the first inning and half contained all the action, and it started very quickly. With one out in the […]
The Tigers are happy to be home. They had an incredible weekend sweep against the Marlins, and with division rivals the Kansas City Royals in town for a three-game series, they were hoping to keep climbing in the AL Central standings. For the first game of the series, Framber Valdez was up against Cole Ragans. […]

Imagine being the Detroit Tigers: you went out and loaded up on a $200 million payroll. You’re paying five players—Jack Flaherty, Framber Valdez, Gleyber Torres, Javier Baez, and Tarik Skubal—$20 million or more. You expect to win the division, or at least grab a playoff spot. And here we are on April 14 and you’re […]
The Royals and Tigers were projected by many models to be the top two teams in the division, but both have stumbled out of the game to a sub-.500 record. The Tigers perhaps hit rock bottom after suffering a four-game sweep at the hands of the Twins, but righted the ship last weekend with a […]
The Detroit Tigers enjoyed some home cooking this weekend, sweeping the Miami Marlins in three games to snap a five-game winning streak. Now, they open up the second half of the homestand with their American League Central rivals, the Kansas City Royals, coming into town. The Royals are currently tied with the Tigers in the […]
Well, considering the extent of Parker Meadows injuries after his collision with Riley Greene last week, this isn’t surprising. The Tigers on Monday moved the center fielder to the 60-day injured list with a fractured left arm as well as a concussion. The initial impact looked like Meadows, trying to veer away from Greene, who […]
We are now past the half-way point of the first round of this year’s DBN Community NFL Mock Draft. We are releasing four picks at a time in one post to give you more substance to digest how the draft is unfolding. Here you can see all of our NFL mock draft coverage for the […]
On Monday, Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes held his pre-draft press conference, answering media questions for just about 20 minutes before heading back to work in preparation for the 2026 NFL Draft. As an NFL general manager, you have essentially one goal for these press conferences: don’t say anything. Don’t give away your intentions, […]
After a huge collapse down the stretch, the Detroit Red Wings have officially extended their playoff drought to 10 years. With this, it is clear that they will be making some changes to their roster during the summer. One player who the Red Wings very well could not bring back is veteran forward David Perron. If the veteran forward hits the market this summer, these three teams could be in the mix to sign him in free agency. Colorado Avalanche The Avalanche could be a team to...
Monday was a big day in the Campbell household as Dan celebrated his 50th birthday. To appease the fans who love behind-the-scenes photos of the Detroit Lions’ head coach, his wife Holly released a mashup of some fun pictures and videos to celebrate the big 5-0. To celebrate, I looked around for a fun, random […]

Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes has earned a reputation for being aggressive in the NFL Draft. Through five drafts thus far, he’s traded up 12 times during the NFL Draft, while he’s only traded down three times. In the past two drafts alone, he’s traded up eight times but hasn’t traded down once. During […]
If you look at any Detroit Lions mock draft these days, you’ll almost certainly see an offensive tackle or defensive end mocked to them with a first or second-round pick (or both). It’s almost universally viewed as the team’s biggest needs going into next week 2026 NFL Draft. But during his pre-draft press conference on […]
Well, this sucks. The margins in this league are tight. I wrote a post over the weekend fantasizing over the idea that the Islanders could ride their late-season New Coach Bump to a win over Ottawa. Had that happened, and had the Red Wings held on to one of their many one-goal leads over the Devils, we’d be in business right now. Ottawa lost to New Jersey last night, so had the hockey gods felt differently, we could be looking at a two-point gap, with a game in a hand, and some control ov...
The Detroit Tigers might have the deepst group of position player prospects the organization has ever amassed at one time in the farm system. Certainly the farm years of the ‘84 Tigers teams may remain the best cluster of Tigers’ homegrown players to ever develop into the core of a team, but from Kevin McGonigle, […]

According to several reports, former Detroit Lions cornerback Chris Payton-Jones died on Saturday night in a fatal car crash in Florida. Payton-Jones first joined the Lions in 2018 after going undrafted following a four-year stint at Nebraska. Though Payton-Jones didn’t make the team that year, he returned to Detroit in 2020 after spending two seasons […]

[Devils NHL] And on Sunday in the home finale, a power play goal from Nico Hischier in overtime gave the Devils […]
*It’s been a good weekend around here for the Flyers! Thursday’s game in Detroit was a rough one, but they were able to get things nicely back on track. One of the biggest things they needed to shore up was their discipline, which was a real trouble spot in that loss to the Red Wings. [ BSH ] *And they were able to do that and more, as they marched themselves to a 7-1 win over the Jets to close out the road trip on Saturday. [ BSH ] *It was just about as emphatic of a response as the...
Coming off a sweep in Minnesota, the Detroit Tigers needed to right the ship with some home cooking. They successfully did so, riding three home runs, including rookie Kevin McGonigle’s first, and a strong start from Tarik Skubal, to sweep the Marlins out of Comerica Park. The Tigers record is now back to 7-9, but […]
