NFL – Dan Campbell thinks his 6-2 Detroit Lions still have another gear
Dan Campbell knows his Detroit Lions have already taken a big step forward. He wants them to take an even bigger one. The 6-2 Lions lead the NFC North and have a chance at their first division title in 30 years, but Campbell thinks they are capable of challenging for a conference championship. After spending the bye week studying the team, Campbell and his staff think they’ve found three significant areas of focus going forward. Those are the turnover-takeaway ratio, red-zone production on both sides of the ball and better 3rd quarter production from offense and defense.

NCAAFB – Ex-staffer shared docs with U of M, showing Big Ten team had Wolverines’ signs
A former college football staffer shared documents with Michigan that showed a Big Ten opponent had spreadsheets of the Wolverines’ signs last year obtained before his team played Michigan. The material relied on intelligence gathered from multiple conference schools that had already played the Wolverines, according to the former staffer. He says he has since given Michigan the material along with screenshots of text-message exchanges with staffers at other Big Ten schools. The alleged actions are potentially in violation of the Big Ten’s sportsmanship policy. Michigan is under NCAA investigation for impermissible scouting.
MLB – Chicago Cubs hire manager Craig Counsell away from Milwaukee in surprising move
The Chicago Cubs have hired manager Craig Counsell away from Milwaukee, landing the former big leaguer with a record-breaking contract and firing David Ross in a tandem of surprising moves. The 53-year-old Counsell became the majors’ highest paid manager with a five-year contract worth more than $40 million. That’s according to a person with knowledge of the deal who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the terms weren’t announced. Ross went 262-284 in four seasons with Chicago, winning the NL Central in 2020 in his first year in charge. Counsell led the budget-conscious Brewers to five playoff appearances in the last six years.
