A few days ago, I wrote an article covering the top five positions of need for the Detroit Lions this offseason.

Hockey and Hazing Are Imperfect Match
There was a crazy hazing story that came to light recently about the Harvard women’s hockey team. Some alleged acts include annual “naked skates”, pressuring underclassmen to mimic sex acts, and the standard peer pressure to abuse alcohol. These sound like shocking claims.

Detroit Pistons: Jalen Duren and James Wiseman Lineups, Anyone?
Do you want to see the Detroit Pistons explore Jalen Duren and James Wiseman lineups?

Detroit Tigers Youth Problem
A week before spring training began, I wrote an article on Detroit Tigers outfielder Parker Meadows called “Don't sleep on Parker Meadows”.

NFL Draft: Panthers trade to No. 1, who goes first?
Rip up the mock drafts, there is a new team sitting at the top of the NFL draft board. There was speculation that the Chicago Bears would look to move on from the top selection in the 2023 NFL Draft.
