Football

After a 2011 season dominated by news of a potential lockout, many football fans were looking forward to a drama-free 2012 campaign. Those fans, however, are going to be disappointed.

When it comes to the Olympic Games, I'm Team USA, all the way. It doesn't matter what the sport is, I love me some America. But when you're cheering for female boxer Claressa Shields, you're not just cheering for the United States, you're cheering for the 810. Check out the details on the Flint natives first Olympic fight.

Well, the 2012 Summer Games are here and it's just another opportunity for America to prove we are the greatest country in the history of countries.  My thoughts on the opening rounds plus the MLB trade deadline and training camp in the NFL.

Finally, something I'm happy to report about on the Penn State story.  My thoughts on Penn State's recent punishment, the red-hot Tigers, and the Lions recent decision to cut a knucklehead.

I hope this is the last time I ever write about Penn State Football and the horrific sexual scandal that surrounds it.  My thoughts on what needs to happen to the school and the football program, plus the Tigers coming back to life and why I'm glad the Lions didn't give Cliff Avril a long time deal.

I don't know why this dude would volunteer to get blasted in the face with a dodge ball coming out of a football throwing machine, but I'm glad he did.  Watch balls to the face go to a whole new, high speed level.

The Detroit Lions are back in the police blotter, as third year corner back Aaron Berry was arrested in Pennsylvania this past weekend for suspected DUI and other charges.

Mark Ingram Jr. is Flint's only Heisman Trophy winner, and the current New Orleans Saints running back is returning home to help raise awareness for men's health.  Check out the details on how you can attend for free.

The rivalry between Michigan and Michigan State football is more intense than ever, especially when you consider the recent success of Sparty and the fact that the all-time record belongs to the Wolverines.  Brady Hoke is well aware of both facts and he recently spoke out about the rivalry.

The Saginaw Sting capped off their perfect season last night, when they delivered at 37-7 beat down against the Dayton Silverbacks in the Continental Indoor Football League championship.

Nick Fairley just can't seem to stay out of trouble, as he was arrested for the second time in two months, most recently for driving under the influence and attempting to elude police.  Check out the details and what this means for his future in Detroit.

It's funny how everyone can be bitching about the Tigers, but as soon as Justin Verlander gets out there and goes 8+ on a No-No and everybody is right back on board.  Thoughts on JV, why Matthew Stafford is the man, and why you should be cheering for the Pacers, even if one of them punched you in the face.
