The sports world has been absolutely insane the last few days. First, the Mavericks traded Luka Donic to the Lakers, and now Cleveland Browns All-Pro edge rusher Myles Garrett has asked to be traded.  This is no doubt going to have every team in the NFL trying to make a deal with the Browns to

Personally, I’ve never once believed some of the things that I know other writers or Detroit Lions fans believe when it comes to Lions GM Brad Holmes.

ESPN’s Bill Barnwell raised some eyebrows last month when he suggested that the Detroit Lions could consider releasing former Tennessee Vols quarterback Hendon Hooker this offseason.  Hooker, a third round selection by the Lions in the 2023 NFL Draft, attempted just nine passes for Detroit in 2024.  The former Vol was demoted to the No.

Fowler notes the Jaguars won’t be huge spenders in free agency but they want to fortify their secondary and could make a splurge on a spot like corner. He adds Davis could be ranked as high as the No. 2 cornerback available by some teams this March and should have a healthy market.  Davis, 28,

At one point, the WNBA’s best team was right here in Detroit. The Detroit Shock won three WNBA championships in the early 2000s and was coached by Bill Laimbeer, who was connected to the Bad Boy Pistons era.  In 2009 the team moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma in a move that’s been characterized as a failure

Aaron Glenn moved quickly in finding a defensive coordinator for his first Jets staff. On the offensive side of the ball, further clarity has emerged regarding the two top candidates.

Senior Bowl practices are over and everyone is heading home from Alabama now. We’ve all seen enough and it’s time to get to the mock drafts. For the Detroit Lions, this was a good week for the board to fall in their favor.  Obviously, there’s a lot left to do in the process, but here’s
