Dan Campbell deserves another shot as Lions coach
The Detroit Lions long ago made the decision to bring back head coach Dan Campbell for a second season despite a 3-13-1 his first year as Lions coach. If I were at the table and given a vote, I’d agree with bringing him back. I did not always feel that way. Even though he motivated his team beyond belief, Campbell was flirting with the first 0-17 season
Five Takeaways from the Bulls vs. Pistons
It started as a competitive, physical, old fashion paint driven game of basketball. It turned into a devastating collapse in the second half that saw Detroit’s worst loss of the season, falling to the Bulls 133 to 87. The collapse was preceded by the Pistons playing one of their best performances of the season against the Utah Jazz. Detroit followed a dynamic defensive and offensive attack by
Anthony Lynn leaving the Detroit Lions is ‘best for business’
Anthony Lynn was a dead man walking in Detroit Lions hoodie for weeks. And on Monday afternoon, the Lions showed him the door out of town. Dan Campbell announced that he relieved Lynn of his duties as offensive coordinator on Monday morning. Lynn's firing isn't a shocker to anyone. The writing was on the wall for quite some time. In Lynn's first eight weeks as the primary
Op-Ed: Going from fan to Detroit Lions beat reporter wasn’t my plan
As the final seconds rolled off in Sunday's Detroit Lions vs. Green Bay Packers game, I only had one thought. "Well that was fun!" Earlier last year, while working at Woodward Sports, the CEO and supervisors approached me about a role change. Instead of co-hosting The Morning Woodward Show and being a general assignment writer, I would switch to covering the Lions for the network. The role
Game On: Charlie Batch enters EMU into the NIL game
Charlie Batch and Eastern Michigan (EMU), welcome to the NIL party! Have a seat in the game-changers section. Because that's what Batch did on Wednesday. He changed the game. By now, most are aware that Batch offered Caleb Williams $1 million to transfer to Eastern Michigan. When Williams announced he was entering the transfer portal, I feel safe in saying hearing an NIL pitch to attend EMU
From Tassels to Peaches: The Story of a Recent Graduate’s Journey to the Peach Bowl
It was May 2nd, 2021. I was sitting in the south parking lot of Spartan Stadium with my mask on wondering how I got here. It wasn't the fact that my graduation ceremony was in an unordinary setting that bothered me, but how it came upon me so quickly. Flashbacks of my first dorm room move-in and strenuous class projects flooded my head as I crossed the
Foster: We treated both Michigan and MSU differently after their abysmal showings against the SEC
A big blue wall surrounds Michigan football. And it is a powerful wall. That became clear again after the Wolverines were thrashed 34-11 by Georgia in the College Football Playoffs. It was a game that was so lopsided that Georgia head coach Kirby Smart called off the Dawgs in the third quarter. He did not want a Gatorade shower. He did not want to rub more dirt
Dan Campbell proves to be the anti-Urban Meyer
The Seattle Seahawks outclassed Dan Campbell and his Detroit Lions on Sunday. It was outright brutal. As if giving up 51 points wasn't bad enough, the Lions defense gave up close to 500 yards (497) in total offense. And 265 of it was on the ground. There are endless superlatives to describe how badly the Lions performed on Sunday. In that same breath, there are just as
Michigan football takes giant leap into CFP playoffs
The University of Michigan faces Georgia New Year’s Eve in the Orange Bowl with a chance to advance to the college football championship game. And here is the kicker. The No. 2 Wolverines are facing an elite level SEC team that likely won’t blow them out. In fact, Michigan has a better than puncher’s chance against the Bulldogs. Michigan (12-1) can win this game with a game
The patience of Brad Holmes is why the Lions have Amon-Ra St. Brown
Losing sucks. If you have a competitive bone in your body, it doesn't sit well with you. It's the reason you'd be hard-pressed to find a happy loser. However, Detroit Lions General Manager Brad Holmes could be the exception. And Amon-Ra St. Brown is the reason. On Thursday morning, the NFL named St. Brown the Offensive Rookie of the Month for December. From Week 13-16, St. Brown
Op-Ed: John Madden meant more to me than I realized
Tuesday was a long day for me. I had to run a few errands to start the day, and then hit the Woodward Sports studio. Detroit Lions running back, Craig Reynolds, was going to be a guest on Big D Energy. So I had to be ready to grab quotes. After that, I ended my day running more errands, and then headed home. As I arrived at
Villains are scarce until Detroit pro teams complete rebuilds
Once upon a time, Chris Chelios was a man that Detroit Red Wings fans wanted no part of. He was mean, snarly, and a jerk. He also wore a Chicago Blackhawks jersey. Then things changed. He was still mean, snarly, and a jerk, but now he wore a Red Wings jersey. And the thing Detroit fans vowed would never happen did. They cheered the man, loved the
