Tigers swept by Orioles
SHOCKTOBER
mitch albom: Winter comes early again and who knows what this team will look like next year
Winter began to creep into the city just after six o'clock Sunday night, courtesy of a man named Nelson Cruz - or, as he is known around here, Death. Cruz, the Baltimore Orioles' designated killer, swatted a David Price pitch in the sixth inning of a scoreless game and lifted it toward rightfield. It appeared, at first, to be a harmless foul.

From the Detroit Free Press: Bears player, Lions fan prove cyber insanity
In the old days, when two men got in an argument, one of them might say, “You want to step outside?”
It was code for “fight.” At least back then, they had the decency to excuse themselves.
Today, nobody steps outside. Nobody steps anywhere. They just tap, tap, tap on their personal devices and think they’re being tough.
Thus we get the Twitter exchange this past week between Brandon Marshall, a wide receiver for the Chicago Bears, and Anthony G. Kalla, a self-proclaimed fan of the Detroit Lions.

Speaking of one of my books, here's a tease: I'm in Spain for the next couple of days doing research for my next book. It's about a musician.

From the Detroit Free Press: Dr. Football has advice for Michigan, Suh
The news is out. The doctor is in. Questions?
So you're really going to do this Dr. Football thing every Friday? I honestly thought you were kidding!
Thanks for the pep talk, boss.
Hey, Dr. Football. I'm a Spartans fan. After Ohio State trashed us, is there anything left to root for?
That Urban Meyer gets a better offer.
What about a major bowl?
Once you explain what "major" means, now that we have a playoff system, then, sure, go for it.

It's an open invitation for anyone who would like to join him for a movie night at the Emagine Theater Complex in Royal Oak, MI. Attendees will pay their own way, but it's an opporuntiy to enjoy a movie in a private theater…
From the Detroit Free Press: Riddick reels in late TD; Lions Rolling
The sidearm giveth and the sidearm … giveth. Matthew Stafford escaped the pocket, went scrambling to his left, then spotted Theo Riddick wheeling past his defender in the end zone. There were seconds left, the crowd was insane, the Lions needed a touchdown to win, and at moments like that, Stafford would say, "your body just takes over."
