Latest blog entries from Detroit teams across every league
It’s a bit of a lighter week for the 2-3 Islanders, with another day before they host the (still winless) Sharks on Tuesday, the (shockingly Atlantic leading) Red Wings on Thursday, then visit Philadelphia on Saturday. With two wins at the end of last week, they avoided falling into a nightmare start, but a variety […]
It seems like a big return is just around the corner. The Detroit Lions appear poised to welcome defensive tackle Alim McNeill back into the lineup for Monday night’s tilt against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The star lineman has been on the Physically Unable to Perform list all season while recovering from a brutal ACL […]
For the most part, the teams at the top of the NFC won in Week 7, and the teams at the bottom of the conference lost. Among the top 10 seeded teams, those who played all won their games this week. Meanwhile, all of the teams ranked 11th or lower lost in Week 7. There […]
After a pair of mistake-riddled losses to the Islanders and Devils, the Oilers made their way to Detroit to take on the red-hot Red Wings in search of simplicity. When the boys are getting caved in by errors, the best approach to climbing out of the hole is by playing simple hockey instead of trying…
Another game, another ugly outing for the Edmonton Oilers. On Sunday afternoon, the Oilers fell 4-2 to the Detroit Red Wings, bringing their losing streak to three games to give them a 2-3-1 record. Let’s take a look at what happened in this one. Like Saturday, the first period was scoreless, with the opposition team…
Pretty damn busy week for the Detroit Red Wings. Also pretty damn successful. A couple of months ago, you may have looked at the schedule for this week and thought to yourself “that’s a brutal stretch.” Despite a handful of division opponents and a team with the two “best” players in the NHL, the Wings are on a five-game heater. The success comes off of strong efforts from goaltending, defense, and captain Dylan Larkin, who has 11 points on the season as I write this Sunday evening. ...
The clock is ticking on the Edmonton Oilers getting healthy. While the team placed defenceman Alec Regula on the injured reserve on Sunday ahead of their afternoon matinee with the Detroit Red Wings, the Oilers are also expecting some key players to get healthy in the coming week. Zach Hyman can return from the Long-Term…
We’re not too far from awards season, which means the usual worthy nominees, head-scratching selections, and outright upsets have started to populate the Gold Glove discussion for 2025 . Dillon Dingler is one of the catching finalists for the Detroit Tigers; Carlos Santana earns another nom for the Cleveland Guardians after winning the 1B award last season. Bobby Witt, Jr. represents shortstop, with division foes Maikel Garcia (Royals) and Jose Ramirez (Guardians) both nominated at third base....
The best thing about a back-to-back weekend is that you don’t have time to sit around and feel sorry for yourself. After another disappointing loss on Saturday afternoon in New Jersey, the Oilers get an immediate chance to redeem themselves in Detroit, and I’ll be looking for a much better effort. Yesterday’s 5–3 loss to…
The Detroit Lions don’t play until Monday night in Week 7, but there’s still plenty of football happening on Sunday for Lions fans to consume. This threat will allow you to chat during all of Sunday afternoon’s action. Simply scroll down to the bottom of this page and share your observations from the Week 7 […]
Ahead of his final year under team control, Tigers ace Tarik Skubal has gotten plenty of attention as fans and clubs alike have begun to turn their attention towards the offseason. Detroit’s reported extension offer of less than $100MM over four years last offseason does not inspire confidence that the club will be able to…
Good morning, folks… We are in the fallow period of Texas Rangers news. In non-Rangers news, the San Francisco Giants are reportedly close to hiring Tony Vitello to be their new manager. The Detroit Tigers are reportedly contemplating dealing Tarik Skubal, who is eligible for free agency after the 2026 season. David Laurila has his […]
The Detroit Lions take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a game that could have huge implications on the NFC playoff race come January. The Lions have not lost back-to-back games in several years, but the 5-1 Bucs are going to put a tough test to that streak, especially given Detroit’s current injury situation. Let’s […]
Meet the Mets It is possible that the Detroit Tigers may make ace Tarik Skubal available in trade this winter and if they do, the Mets would be among the chief suitors. According to scouts and executives that spoke to John Harper of SNY, trading Skubal would be a tough sell in Detroit, which will […]
It’s another primetime game for the Detroit Lions in Week 7, as they settle into the comfy confines of Ford Field, welcome in 65,000 fans, and host the NFC-leading Tampa Bay Buccaneers. If the Lions want to enter their bye week with some positive momentum, they’ll need to follow the offensive keys to victory laid […]
On Saturday, we discussed the most important Detroit Lions players this week in order to come away from Week 7 with a key victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Now it’s time to turn that conversation on its head. The Buccaneers are a really, really solid team that has gone 5-1 to start the year. […]
If you’re a Detroit Lions fan looking for some vindication via officiating from the team’s Week 6 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, you won’t find any after the NFL fines for the week were revealed. Only two players were fined from the Lions/Chiefs game, and neither of them were from Kansas City. Lions defenders […]

The Detroit Lions are facing a huge game on Monday night against a really good opponent. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are arguably the best team in football right now, and they’re led by one of the top favorites to win Most Valuable Player this year. But they are so much more than just Baker Mayfield. […]
On Thursday, NFL Films released its latest “NFL Turning Point” video as part of its online video series on ESPN. In an effort to promote the show, NFL Films posted a strange and frankly insulting video centered around recently suspended Detroit Lions safety Brian Branch. A few hours after posting the video, amidst backlash from […]
The Ottawa Senators will have to navigate life without their captain for up to two months as Brady Tkachuk underwent surgery to repair a right thumb injury. Tkachuk left Monday’s 4-1 loss to the Nashville Predators partway through the third period. While the team initially hoped surgery wouldn’t be required, a second opinion proved otherwise….
The Detroit Lions (4-2) and Tampa Bay Buccaneers (5-1) were back on the practice field on Friday, getting some more work in ahead of their upcoming showdown on “Monday Night Football.” After returning Taylor Decker to practice on Thursday, the Lions were able to return Terrion Arnold on Friday, and while things are looking up, […]
The Detroit Lions are back in the prime time spotlight for a tough matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

One of my favorite aspects of the Detroit Lions, since head coach Dan Campbell and general manager Brad Holmes arrived in 2021, is their ability to respond to adversity. Even after a tough loss like the one in Week 6 to the Kansas City Chiefs, you can see the confidence this team has with the […]
