Latest blog entries from Detroit teams across every league
For some, this weekend will be unbearable. The Detroit Lions are out of the playoffs, and I imagine that will be enough to keep some Michiganders away from the television this week. I am not among those people. I love NFL football, and while it’s undoubtedly going to hurt seeing teams in the postseason with—in […]
The Bears already had the NFC North crown in hand going into their Week 18 matchup against the Lions. It ended up working out, as they still claimed the No. 2 seed in the NFC as a result of the Eagles’ loss on Sunday, but it was Detroit that ended up on top at Soldier […]
The Detroit Lions were reportedly interested in former backup quarterback David Blough for their vacant offensive coordinator position, but he is now off the board. The Washington Commanders have opted to hire Blough as their new offensive coordinator, replacing the recently departed Kliff Kingsbury. It’s been a meteoric rise for Blough, who only retired from […]
While the Seattle Seahawks earned a week off by taking the NFC’s No. 1 seed, the team has spent the week feeling the other side of a dominant winning season, with their coordinators becoming a hot commodity in the coaching carousel. The Seahawks’ offensive coordinator, Klint Kubiak, and defensive coordinator, Aden Durde, have received their […]
The Detroit Lions have yet another candidate for their offensive coordinator position, and he’s one who has some interesting connections. Per Jordan Schultz, the Lions will interview Ravens quarterbacks coach Tee Martin for the position next week. Martin was also scheduled to interview for the Commanders’ offensive coordinator job before they hired David Blough. Martin […]
The Detroit Lions have their third-known candidate for their offensive coordinator job. According to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network, the Lions are planning to interview Seahawks pass game coordinator Jake Peetz for the job opening. Peetz was one of the 13 candidates that our own Erik Schlitt identified as possible fits for the Lions’ offensive […]
Well known for giving back to the local community, star Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams is up for a prestigious NFL Players Association award. Since 2014, the NFLPA has chosen a Community MVP each week of the regular season—a player who went above and beyond to give back to their community. That player receives […]
Despite our Detroit Lions missing out on the dance this year, there are still a handful of really good matchups for this year’s NFL Wild Card Weekend. Starting Saturday, January 10, we open with the Los Angeles Rams traveling across the country for a game against the NFC South champion Carolina Panthers. We could debate […]
In a couple of weeks, the NFL will announce finalists for the NFL Honors, an award show celebrating the best performances of the 2025 NFL season. For the first time ever, that award show will feature the Protector of the Year Award, which will be given to the best offensive lineman for the past year. […]
It was a tough start to 2026 for the Red Wings due to back-to-back losses against Pittsburgh, but the vibes have been reversed after back-to-back wins against Ottawa and Vancouver, respectively. Okay, so Vancouver is not a good team and Ottawa is last in the Atlantic. You can only play who is on your schedule, and Detroit is 7-2-1 in their last 10 games. It’s January, so I’ll take it. Perhaps the biggest story of the day, at least for us, is Patrick Kane. PK88 reached a major milestone ag...
Happy Friday, everyone. We’ve had a lot of big news in the last twenty-four hours, with the Tigers ending their broadcasting contract with FanDuel, and of course, the biggest bit of news being that the team failed to settle on arbitration terms with Tarik Skubal. This should come as no surprise to anyone who has […]
Thursday’s 8 p.m. ET deadline to reach contracts with arbitration eligible players for the 2026 passed with the Detroit Tigers in agreement with everyone but ace Tarik Skubal. The two paries can continue to negotiate prior to an arbitration hearing, but for now they seem set to let an arbitrator decide the ace lefty’s salary […]
Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes spoke for over 40 minutes on Thursday to recap the 2025 season and look ahead to the 2026 offseason. Here are the biggest takeaways from the press conference. Note: I am not including Holmes’ comments on David Montgomery. Those were covered in a separate piece here. Brad Holmes admits […]
The Detroit Lions have reportedly wasted little time to show interest in Mike McDaniel as an offensive coordinator candidate. NFL Network insider Ian Rapoprt reports the Lions have “reached out” to McDaniel, who was fired as the Miami Dolphins head coach earlier on Thursday. And while I am no stranger to the NFL moving quickly, that the Lions moved at warp speed to target Mike McDaniel so quickly: The #Lions have reached out to former #Dolphins HC Mike McDaniel about their vacant off...
The Chicago Bulls had their clock cleaned, 108-93, by an equally banged-up Detroit Pistons club on Wednesday. Now, the Bulls will square off against another higher-seeded Eastern Conference team in the Miami Heat. Chicago has looked a bit hapless without starting point guard Josh Giddey available, having gone 2-3 in his absence. Of course, it hasn’t helped that starting two-guard Coby White has missed four of those games, power forward/center Jalen Smith has missed a pair, and center Zach...
On Thursday afternoon, nine major league teams, including the Detroit Tigers, terminated their contracts with FanDuel Sports, per Evan Drellich of The Athletic. We’ve seen this show before, of course. FanDuel’s parent group, Main Street Sports, was formerly the Diamond Sports Group. As Diamond went through bankruptcy from 2023-2025, teams terminated their deals with the […]
I fully expect Ben Johnson to be deep in his bag this week. Days after the Bears put together a bland and unimagintive game plan in their regular-season finale against the Detroit Lions, Chicago’s football team received good news from the injury report with wide receivers Rome Odunze and DJ Moore (as well as starting left tackle Ozzy Trapilo) garnering full participation status with no game day designation for Saturday’s upcoming playoff game against the Green Bay Packers. So, the way I s...
With the NFC West sending three teams to the playoffs, the conference appears to run through them. However, the NFC North looked just as strong a year ago, only to flame out once January arrived. Could the NFC West be headed towards a similar fate? In 2024, the Detroit Lions and Minnesota Vikings went into […]
It is clear that the Edmonton Oilers are planning on moving on from Andrew Mangiapane this season, and the veteran with a no-trade clause, would be willing to waive it to get a better opportunity somewhere else. David Pagnotta had reported, "Andrew Mangiapane would prefer to move to a contender, but he is open to the 'best fit' for him. The Ducks, Red Wings, and Jets are just three of the teams the Oilers are believed to have spoken to." The Anaheim Ducks have plenty of cap space and are in a ...
Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes is currently scheduled to have his end-of-season press conference on Thursday. Many Lions fans are eagerly anticipating this press conference after a frustrating end to the 2025 season. There is a palpable eagerness to see what Holmes will say about with some of the moves he did (and didn’t […]
The script may be out on the Chicago Bears defense. 2 of the last 3 weeks has seen the Bears have just 3 drives in the first have, and over the last 3 games opposing offenses have focused on long, sustained drives, keeping the ball out of Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears’ hands on […]
The NFL coaching carousel is underway for the 2026 offseason. Currently, there are seven head coaching vacancies, which means there are coaches at all levels of the NFL that may be looking for employment and teams that are searching for new blood within their organization. For the Detroit Lions, there is bound to be some […]
We know a lot went wrong in the Detroit Lions’ in 2025. There are plenty of reasons they will not be playing football this weekend, while the top-14 teams in the league will still be fighting for a Super Bowl. The offensive line took a big step back, Detroit clearly made a regrettable hire at […]

I assumed that, by being born in the 2000s, I was finally liberated from a Pistons player named Isiah haunting Bulls fans’ nightmares. Clearly, I was mistaken, because in 2026, an Isaiah from Detroit is still haunting Chicago. The Detroit Pistons played without Cade Cunningham and Jalen Duren, their two best players, which wipes out any excuse Chicago could lean on about injuries. The Bulls actually played the better game for three quarters, but that fourth-quarter collapse will stick wit...
