JD Martinez: The Best Find and Worst Trade
From day one, JD Martinez embodied the city of Detroit. The Astros picked him up with a 20th-round selection. Then, Houston cut him in 2014. He signed a minor-league deal with the Tigers. He quickly tore through AAA Toledo. The Tigers called him up in late April and he never looked back. Martinez was a deadly bat for Detroit. The right fielder got extra-base hits and home
Anthony Lynn has overcome all obstacles in his path
If anyone picks up a dictionary today and Anthony Lynn does not have his picture next to the word "resilient," then chances are that person has the wrong version. Ok, so maybe Lynn's face in the dictionary is a bit of a stretch. After all, he's only a football coach. Judging by his walk in life, though, he has a compelling case for it to be. Anthony
The David Price Trade Revisited.. It’s Average
Back in 2014, the Tigers were laser-focused on the World Series. The team didn’t want good players. Detroit wanted elite-level talent. At the deadline, the team swung a trade for 2012 Cy Young Winner David Price. The team sent out Drew Smyly, Austin Jackson, and a prospect in a three-team deal. Price bolstered a lineup of 3 other former-or-future Cy Young winners. But, the Verlander-Scherzer-Price-Porcello monster would
The Cespedes Trade Revisited: Where’s Everyone Now?
Starting in the latter half of the 2010s, the Tigers made a flurry of trades to kickstart their rebuild. The succession of deals was tough to follow. We mourned the star being traded without realizing who we'd gotten back. I noticed this while writing my "bright spots" article two days ago. Some of the trades were massive successes. Sometimes, trades set up bigger and better deals later
Call of Duty – Open-World Zombie Mayhem in new Outbreak Mode
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is getting quite the update, and its zombie fixation is about to grow! The new mode coming to Cold War is officially called Outbreak, which will introduce large-scale zombie-slaying antics with your squad. Loot. Fight. Survive. That’s what the COD trailer states, but how exactly will the new mode work? Here are some details to satisfy your curiosity and, honestly,
Aaron Glenn brings a proven track record to Detroit
When the Detroit Lions hired Dan Campbell as its new head coach, he assembled his coaching staff rather quickly, making Aaron Glenn one of his first reported hires. Glenn, 48, coming to Detroit should not have shocked anyone, especially after what New Orleans Saints GM Mickey Loomis said previously. And to this day, that quote by Loomis is now prophetic. During a conversation with Lions' team president
Favorite video games from an unusual Nintendo Direct
February 17, 2021, marked the first Nintendo Direct since September 2019. We speculated about the possible titles, but one thing stuck out about the event itself: Nintendo stated they would talk about games already released and some releasing in early 2021. At that point, I predicted we wouldn't see the games that we've wanted to see. In the end, I ended up being right, much to my
Shake it out Wentz: Indy’s Steal of Carson
Earlier today, Carson Wentz was traded to the Indianapolis Colts for a conditional 2022 second-rounder and a 2021 third-rounder. This deal first and foremost solidifies the Matt Stafford trade as an absolute robbery. To add insult to injury, the Eagles will also have the biggest dead cap hit ever - totaling $33.8 million - for trading the former #2 overall pick. Wentz is now reunited with former
Tigers Cashing in at Comerica: Detroit’s Best in 2021
For Tigers fans, gone are the days of shiny new signings and World Series hopes. The days of 3 Cy Young winners in the rotation are no longer. Now, Detroit settles for signings of former All-Stars past their prime. Tigers games are used as mere background noise for those working from home. The team is years from contending. But this does not mean all joy is lost.
Bokeh Game Studio shows disturbing concept art for new game!
Last December, I posted an article about Silent Hill creator Keiichiro Toyama and his new company Bokeh Game Studio. Well, Keiichiro has graced fans with news and never-before-seen concept art for their first project, an unnamed horror-adventure game that looks profoundly disturbing. It may not be news about a title or even a character for the game, but it’s a thrill to see the team’s vision shape
Epic Games’ MetaHuman will reduce character creation time
Video Game developers deal with several time-consuming processes to ultimately deliver the games we cherish or denounce. There's always a pressing need to improve every facet of development to make things easier and faster. Well, Epic Games created something new to design lifelike human characters. Dubbed 'MetaHuman,' this advanced character creator is a cloud-streamed app that features several options for creating characters. It uses the Unreal Engine
Isaiah Stewart is not your Average Rookie
The Pistons young center is already drawing comparisons to Ben Wallace and Dennis Rodman, which means he must be doing something right. Ask any fan of a rebuilding NBA franchise what they want to see the most from their team and you will receive a lot of similar answers. Developing a young core of players is one of those. Although there have been some frustrations expressed from
