Latest blog entries from Detroit teams across every league
The Cleveland Cavaliers have won three straight and five out of their last seven. Things are headed in the right direction as they appear more like the team many envisioned they would be at the start of the season. That progress will be put to the test as they take on the first-place Detroit Pistons. […]
Pregame Same lineup for the Penguins with Stuart Skinner back in the net for this afternoon’s game. The home Red Wings also keep very similar lines from the last time these teams met on Thursday, also opting to switch their goalies and give John Gibson a go. First period The Penguins keep it up with […]
It’s not the season anyone had hoped for, but it’s finally coming to an end this Sunday. The 8-8 Detroit Lions take on an NFC North rival, hoping to hand the Chicago Bears one last loss as they head to the playoffs, while the Lions hope to finish with a winning season. At Pride of […]
Sleeping in was a great idea until I remembered what errands I had to run today. Whoopsiedoodle. First up on the Saturday to-do list: This set of BN Bears Bullets. The final injury reports ahead of the Week 18 clash between the Bears and Lions are out. On the Detroit side of things, the Lions will be without some notable key players — including star offensive tackle Penei Sewell. As for Chicago, the Bears received some relatively encouraging news about Rome Odunze. The second-year wide ...
Talk about the game with Pens fans here!
And just like that, the regular season is coming to its conclusion. But there’s plenty left to sort out before we get to the NFL’s postseason. As we have done in past seasons, our staff will be making weekly predictions for every game on the NFL schedule. Each of the Pride of Detroit staff will […]
Until he finally retires, it’s hard to go through an offseason without considering long-time ace and future Hall of Famer, Justin Verlander in free agency. Based on the pitching additions by the Tigers already, it’s hard to envision a role for Verlander in 2026. Still, I can’t resist considering the idea anyway, if only as […]
The Detroit Lions’ 2025 season was a disappointment in so many ways. But none more humiliating than the fact that Madden—an extremely flawed video game—was better at predicting Lions outcomes than I was. And it wasn’t particularly close. Our weekly Madden simulations, where we live-stream a game of computer vs. computer Madden game, actually went […]
The only thing that practically matters for the Detroit Lions is draft order and their 2026 schedule. And while the best way to improve those things is a Lions loss to the Chicago Bears on Sunday, I wouldn’t blame you if you’re incapable of rooting for that. If that’s too much for your taste, I’ve […]
Who: Pittsburgh Penguins (18-12-9, 45 points, 5th place Metropolitan Division) @ Detroit Red Wings (24-14-4, 52 points, 1st place Atlantic Division) When: 12:00 p.m. ET How to Watch: National broadcast on ABC Pens’ Path Ahead: The Pens return to action in just over 24 hours with a Sunday road game against the Columbus Blue Jackets. The team then […]
Good morning, now that the holidays are behind us, I can’t wait for the winter to be over. The Cleveland Cavaliers are 20-16 and have the night off. They play again tomorrow at 2 pm against the Detroit Pistons. Today’s Game of the Day This is a Western Conference showdown worth tuning into. Most of […]
These two franchises have been playing each other since 1930; only back then, it was the Chicago Bears vs the Portsmouth Spartans. The Bears lost that first matchup, and they’ve lost the last three against the Detroit Lions, but Chicago holds a (105-81-5) all-time record in the series. For Week 18, there’s not quite as […]
The Dallas Cowboys are the exception. Unfortunately for all of us in this context being the exception is not good. The Cowboys, who were mathematically eliminated from the playoffs several days before Christmas for the second year in a row, have had moments of extreme success this season, but they have also had some that […]
Finishing off the regular season with the division rival Detroit Lions is a testament to how much an NFL season changes from the beginning to end. It’s a demonstration of how teams evolve, get better, or alternatively, get worse, get injured or suffer from bad luck. Think back to when these two teams met in […]
On January 1st in 2009, the Detroit Red Wings played the Chicago Blackhawks in the NHL's outdoor Winter Classic at Wrigley Field. In a city famous for crime and corruption, I suppose it's not surprising that Chicago afternoon ended cloaked in controversy. Fresh off a 6-4 victory in The Friendly Confines, Henrik Zetterberg handed his game stick to 14 year-old Wings&
The Detroit Lions (8-8) and Chicago Bears (11-5) have declared their injury designations ahead of their Week 18 matchup to close out the 2025-26 regular season. While the Bears are getting healthier, the Lions were forced to shut down four of their starters for this game. Let’s take a look at the latest injury report […]
Every year, there is change within NFL teams. There’s a fair amount of roster turnover year-to-year, and coaching staffs are usually tweaked here and there. But during Dan Campbell’s final press conference of the 2025 season, the Detroit Lions coach seemed to put an extra emphasis that, after a failed season, they are not going […]
While the Detroit Lions’ season ended on Christmas last week, there was one silver lining: my bold prediction was correct. That makes it two times my bold prediction has come true this season, not the record I wanted to have. In the 2025 season finale, the Lions travel and take on the Chicago Bears in […]
The Detroit Red Wings are sitting pretty in the standings, but Max Bultman of The Athletic thinks the biggest deadline question is still staring them in the face. Detroit’s top pair of Moritz Seider and Simon Edvinsson looks legit, and Ben Chiarot has been solid, but the blue line depth behind that gets a lot shakier once the games tighten up. With the March 6 trade deadline approaching fast, the Red Wings should add an experienced No. 4 or 5 defenseman who can handle heavy pressur...
After finding some success — particularly defensively — last season, it’s been a struggle for the Miami Heat with Bam Adebayo and Kel’el Ware together. Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra has been open, on multiple occasions, about wanting to see more from them together. Heading into the New Year, the big man duo sported a […] The post Erik Spoelstra felt frontcourt duo was ‘terrific’ in win over Pistons appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .
With three months to go before the season begins, the American League Central seems to be once again wide open. Just six games separated three teams last year, and none has made a move to separate themselves yet this year. With several free agents still unsigned, there are still opportunities for Central teams to make […]
The Pittsburgh Penguins opened the 2026 calendar year with a strong 3-2 win against the Detroit Red Wings, getting two big points in the standings and getting another huge game from captain Sidney Crosby. He scored two goals in the first 10 minutes, assisted on Kris Letang’s overtime winner and factored into every goal the […]
For the first time in four years, I’m previewing a Detroit Lions game that I know is “meaningless.” It’s been a good run for On Paper and the Lions, but it’s hard to put a ton of effort into this Week 18 preview against the Chicago Bears when the stakes are nearly zero, and the […]
We’re deep in the heart of the off-season, the Hot Stove has grown cold, and some Detroit Tiger fans’ patience with the front office has worn paper-thin. But that doesn’t mean we can’t do some prognosticating, projecting, estimating and elucidating. I’m not a betting man – “Only ever bet the amount of money you’d be […]
Here are your Pens Points for this Friday morning… Kris Letang scored 58 seconds into overtime (how apropos) in his 1,200th game as the Pittsburgh Penguins beat the Detroit Red Wings 4-3 on Thursday. [Recap] Speaking of Letang, he recently opened up about what drives him as a Penguin in his age-38 season, saying he […]
