Campbell says SNF game at Houston last year is a big reason why he wanted #Lions to have joint practice w Texans this year. “Young talented guys, they love ball … a lot of guys over there, Brad and I like now, too.” Repeats immense respect for what DeMeco Ryans is building.

I’d like to talk (a lot) more about Fedorov’s C4 Corvette featured in the Red Wings #retire91 announcement. What’s the local lore here? Where is it now? Notably, it dons the Dark Red Metallic paint instead of Bright Red Metallic that was closer to Red Wings Red.

This was Vin Scully's call of Henry Aaron's 715th home run. Tonight Major League Baseball cut off the first sentence, starting it with the "What a marvelous moment" part because they don't want to anger the white supremacists who run our country and of whom Rob Manfred is an ardent supporter.

"A Black man is getting a standing ovation in the Deep South for breaking a record of an all-time baseball idol. What a marvelous moment for baseball. What a marvelous moment for Atlanta and the state of Georgia. What a marvelous moment for the country and the world.”

Tarik Skubal — on pace for an even more historically successful, flame-throwing season than his AL Cy Young campaign — throws a complete game shutout with 94 pitches, ties his career high 13 strikeouts, and reminds #Tigers brass just how much he’s worth: a Brinks truck.
