From the Detroit Free Press: Some naked truth about sexting teens
This will make me sound old, but I'm going to say it.
In a million years — in 2 million years — I would never stick a camera down my pants to take a picture.
So I will never get this sexting craze.
I can't empathize with a teenage girl seeking acceptance by sharing photos of her breasts. I can't sympathize with a boy hoping to impress his crush with a 10-megapixel shot of his privates.
Facebook: Always a great discussion...check it out at 8:30am Eastern!

From the Detroit Free Press: SHOCKTOBER
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: Tigers’ 2015 wish list must include better defense
Did you ever notice how words that begin with “D” are rarely sexy? Divorce. Disappointment. Disillusion. Death.
On the other hand, words beginning with “O” have more appeal. Optimism. Opportunity. Opulent. Ooh-la-la.
Still, when it comes to sports, a “D” word often is the difference between champions and runners-up. “Defense.” And while the glitzier “offense” draws more attention, Tigers fans better hope Dave Dombrowski puts his emphasis on better fielding next year.
Because that can get you over the top.
Look at this year’s playoffs.

From the Detroit Free Press: Fastest part of Ebola spread is fear of it
I got on a plane the other night. A woman sat down next to me. She ordered a Bloody Mary from the flight attendant and began talking loudly on her cell phone.
Then she sneezed. Again and again.
And again and again.
I felt some moisture on my hand. Having caught many a cold from plane travel, I instinctively wanted to do something, but there was nowhere to go. So I pulled the collar of my jacket up over my cheek, in a rather lame attempt to guard from sucking in germs.
Realizing how it looked, I let it drop.
