From the Detroit Free Press: Don't discount Verlander when it's money time
Late Wednesday afternoon, in the top of the eighth inning, on his 109th pitch of the day, Justin Verlander blew a 94-m.p.h. fastball past White Sox cleanup hitter Conor Gillaspie. Strike 3! Verlander pounded the air with his fist. He hollered. His chest was heaving as he left the infield and headed for the dugout shadows, the thump of his closing book echoing through the ballpark.

From the Detroit Free Press: DeAndre Levy's sharp calls help Lions pack up Green Bay
DeAndre Levy pulled on the helmet. It wasn't the normal helmet. It was the "other" helmet. The one with the extra radio in it. The one he can only use if Stephen Tulloch goes down. Which Tulloch did. For the first time in nine years. After celebrating a sack. Really. And suddenly, like a bus driver grabbing an abandoned wheel, Levy, the linebacker, had mere seconds to take charge.

From the Detroit Free Press: Her flock sure to say you gotta have Faith
So this is your office?" I ask.
"I cleaned it up," she says. "Can you smell the Pledge?"
I glance around a nearly empty room, just bookcases, a desk, a picture of Jesus.
"Is your home like this, too?"
"Yeah," she says. "Except for the Pledge."

#MovieNightwithMitch Do you live in (decent) driving distance from Royal Oak, MI? Do you like movies? Then join me on Wednesday, September 24 for the 8pm showing of "A Walk Among the Tombstones" at the Emagine Entertainment theater complex. I'll be there with my co-host Ken Brown and some friends, and I'm inviting you, my Internet friends, to join me as well. We'll catch a movie, then head across the lobby to the Star Restaurant for more eating...and bowling! We'll all pay our own way, but I'm hoping to make this a monthly tradition--so bring your friends or make new ones, but I'd love to have you join me for a night out.

From the Detroit Free Press: Having and hitting kids both issues for Peterson
Adrian Peterson is not the worst man on earth. But I have no sympathy for him. Not after he has been accused of abusing two 4-year-old sons.
When you have two kids the same age, they are either twins, or you were way too busy that year. Turns out the latter is often true of Peterson. The 4-year-olds are from different mothers, neither of whom is his wife. And nearly as disturbing as his tree-branch discipline is this:
Peterson won't say how many kids he has.
