Latest blog entries from Detroit teams across every league
Welcome to Larissa’s Lessons, a weekly takeaways series in which some combination of Karen, True and Dylan will break down the biggest takeaways from the weekend’s games. We love an alliteration and puns around here, so be prepared for some word play. Because the Tigers are playing a ridiculous number of games in a weekend […]
On Tuesday, NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah released his second mock draft of the 2026 season. While Jeremiah paired the Detroit Lions with an edge rusher in both of his recent mock drafts, his decision-making in Tuesday’s mock draft was a bit surprising, as it goes against his previous logic and current top 50 rankings. Like […]
When the Tigers signed the Cuban outfielder Roberto Campos back in 2019, he was the most expensive international free agent the club had ever inked to a deal. Early on he showed the good power potential and solid hitting ability that was projected on signing day, but his progress has been slow since breaking into […]
A recap of the Tigers’ eventful 3-game set down in Florida Missouri leaves Fort Myers 2-1 in its clash against Mount Saint Mary’s from the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference, and if the opening series felt a little bit chaotic, that’s because it is. Sometimes February baseball is similar to a pilot episode of a tv […]
When the Detroit Lions hired head coach Dan Campbell and general manager Brad Holmes, they wanted to rebuild this franchise from the ground up. They did that by trading away quarterback Matthew Stafford to bring in their guy Jared Goff. They drafted pillars like right tackle Penei Sewell and wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown. They […]
The 2025 NFL Combine kicks off in the final week of February, and our preview series of the event continues, with this installment focusing on a handful of running backs who should be on the radar of Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes.

Pistons center Jalen Duren uses homophobic and anti-lesbian language in a rap song. An NBA player should know better. The post Pistons’ Jalen Duren under fire for homophobic slur in rap lyrics appeared first on Outsports .
We’re pretty partial to FanGraphs here at Bless You Boys. They combine outstanding writing with all the statistics you could want to understand baseball and baseball players, and their subscription cost is extremly reasonable and has remained low for years now. They also have Eric Longenhagen, probably the most thorough analyst on the national prospect […]
The new league year hasn’t started yet, but the Miami Dolphins are wasting no time under their new regime. They have cut multiple players today, including WR Tyreek Hill, EDGE Bradley Chubb, G James Daniels, and old friend WR Nick Westbrook-Ikhine. Hill, once the most dynamic receiver in the game, is about to turn 31 […]
There is no position that has shifted more in a single year than safety. Entering 2025, the Detroit Lions looked like they had the unquestioned, best safety duo in the league, and with both under 25 at the time, Detroit was set for years to come at safety. Unfortunately, injuries have put a huge damper […]
Happy Monday, friends. Some fun and interesting little news bites to feast on in this first week of Spring Training. First, Tarik Skubal is expanding his skill set, learning to become the team’s unofficial barista. Riley Greene is hoping to hone his skills after a tremendous 2025 season. And a potential leaked look at the […]
The 2026 NFL Combine opens on Monday, February 23, with prospects arriving alongside their positional groups over the next few days. During their time in Indianapolis, players will complete orientation, undergo medical checks, meet with NFL teams, and take the podium to answer media questions. Then, on Thursday, February 26, NFL Network will begin four […]
The 2026 free agency period could be the first time in which the Detroit Lions might be forced to say goodbye to some once important parts of their roster. Between ages creeping up and a salary cap shrinking amid expensive extensions, the Lions will have to spend wisely in free agency in their attempt to […]
We’ve been asking for all your questions about for our new Mailbag and will focus today on formation tweaks, Gavi’s return, and which Barça Atlètic players could still play a part this season. So without any further ado, let’s get started… Should Flick play a 4-3-3 with Frenkie as a single pivot just like he […]
Many of the Tigers position players have already been in camp since Wednesday, but Sunday marks the first official full squad workout where everyone has reported. Now baseball is really back. The Tigers beat writers on hand picked up some interesting notes over the past two days, so let’s run through a few things. A.J. […]
Maybe you’re a regular at Detroit Tigers spring training camp. Maybe you’ve made the pilgrimage once, like myself. And maybe your best spring training memory came from a story or from watching Grapefruit League action on television. I went down once, long before the whole Lakeland complex was completely renovated, before I even started writing […]
With the NFL Combine just over a week away, it’s time to start thinking about the 2026 NFL Draft. We’ve dipped our toe into the pool of prospects with our weekly Mock Draft roundups, but things will really start to ramp up in the next few weeks. But before we look forward to this April’s […]
While the 2025 Detroit Lions offense wasn’t as explosive as we’ve recently seen, the unit is still filled with a ton of playmakers. Last year, a handful of players on offense made plays week in and week out. So next on our Pride of Detroit award nominations, we’re talking about Offensive Player of the Year. […]
On Thursday, we discussed the Detroit Lions’ best free agent signings last year. The majority of the answers involved either defensive tackle Roy Lopez or cornerback Rock Ya-Sin. Both of those signings were the exact kind of moves that can define a winning offseason. Both players signed for relatively cheap contracts, but provided strong play […]
Spring training has some definite patterns, particularly when watching from afar. First, there’s the huge enthusiasm for a few days as pitchers and catchers report and the sound of baseballs popping into gloves and off of bats rings around the Tigers’ Lakeland complex. Then there’s first full squad workout day, which takes place on Sunday […]
After nearly a three-decade run, Detroit ended its bowl game on Wednesday, leaving the MAC Championship Game as the lone postseason game in Motown. While the move shocked many around the football world, the signs may have been there for awhile. A few weeks ago, Eastern Michigan and Central Michigan announced their next two meetings […]
The 2025 Detroit Lions season didn’t have the number of great games we were all hoping to see, though it certainly says something that a 9-8 season can feel so massively disappointing. Still, despite the tough year, there were some games that will likely be rememberd. So in the latest edition of our 2025 Detroit […]
Every year, all 30 major league teams end up signing a whole pitching staff worth of minor league deals with invites to spring camp. Along with pitching prospects already in a given farm system, there may be as many as 15 additional pitchers not on the 40-man roster.The need for pitching depth in camp and […]
In case you somehow missed it, we at Pride of Detroit recently had a special guest in for an interview. That’s right—Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Drew Petzing joined Jeremy Reisman and Erik Schlitt for this week’s Midweek Mailbag. Right from the jump, you can see how Petzing appealed to Lions head coach Dan Campbell. You […]
With the 2025-26 Super Bowl in the rearview mirror and free agency still roughly a month away, most NFL communities turn their attention to mock drafts, as fans gather information on prospects headed to the NFL Combine. Typically, the post-Super Bowl window generates a plethora of mock drafts, and this week was no different, as […]
