Even Tarik Skubal pretended he wanted to be in Detroit, this is just sad to say you don’t mind playing elsewhere.

I traded Jameson Williams for J.J. McCarthy in a two-QB league where I drafted Jalen Hurts and Justin Herbert

Sam LaPorta on not receiving an extension from the Lions, via @PardonMyTake: "You know, like last year, whatever it was, Week 9, Week 10, you know, I break my fucking back for the team and then I'm going out there this year and I'm balling and maybe they're just not showing the love ... And in three months, if I don't get to wear the Honolulu blue and play for the Lions anymore, it's going to be all good. I'll go get paid somewhere else."

Brian Cashman said he and the Yankees have agreed on a new contract. They're just hammering out the final details. "We're locked and loaded."

Hal Steinbrenner is asked to assess the job performance of Brian Cashman this year: "Cash is great every season. The roster that he put together, the team that we rolled out of spring training with was as good as any in baseball. It was a World Championship caliber team."

REPORT: The Pistons have picked up the 2027-28 rookie scale team option for Ron Holland, per @KeithSmithNBA

Bob Costas was 18 when his father dropped dead at JFK airport. At the wake, a man handed him a thick envelope with $6,000 in $100 bills. It was everything his father left behind, and a bookie would never have paid it to a dead man. In the video below, he tells the story himself. His father, John, was a big-time gambler. Not casinos, not racetracks. Ball games. Bob says the mortgage was literally riding on his bets. When the games went the wrong way, he threw things, cursed and yelled. Bob’s mom and sister would leave. Bob stayed, because watching the games with his dad was the only way to be close to him. Friday, May 15, 1970. A cop knocks on the door. Before he says a word, Bob’s mother asks, “My husband’s dead, isn’t he?” John Costas had a heart attack walking through JFK. He was 42. At the wake, one of his gambling buddies walked in with the envelope. “Your father was up when he died. Give this to your mother.” A bookie never pays a dead man, so the friend went to the bookie himself and said John sent him to collect. Decades later, Bob Costas refused to read sports betting ads on air. Today the bookie lives in everyone’s phone. Is that progress?

As a Lions fan I generally don't take anything seriously from PoD unless Jeremy Reisman wrote it.

“The NFLPA is not aware of any NFL investigation into the medical care provided to Jalen Hurts. In fact, the league previously informed the union that it did not plan to review the care he received. Before conclusions are drawn about how this situation was handled, there must be a full investigation into what occurred. Determining the facts is essential to ensuring players receive the highest level of care and protection going forward.” — Statement from the NFLPA after a report from The Athletic that the NFL has concluded the #Eagles acted appropriately in their handling of Jalen Hurts after the team and Hurts’ agent Nicole Lynn said in a statement that he was diagnosed with having a blood clot the morning before the Eagles faced the Jaguars in London. Hurts flew home on the team charter after the game.

Just a PSA to all NFL fans: You screaming at people about your team’s quarterback being disrespected doesn’t make people MORE open to respecting that QB.
