Michigan Sports Hall of Famer and former Detroit Lions reporter for The Detroit News, Mike O'Hara, announced his retirement from the business after more than 50 years.
I put him up there with Tom Kowalski - his insight, opinion, and reporting will be missed
I wonder if MCDC felt that 1 practice with contact was better than 2 without, and this was a deliberate breaking of the rules. Like grocery stores profiting by using fucky scales even after paying the fines.
"Yeah, we just... we don't want them to go. So that's our motivation."

I know but I have been listening to him for all those fifty years and he really just doesn’t do anything for me.
please allow me to be human. Just 1 time ha ha.
and I am pretty relaxed actually
If you don't want to read the article, it's based on the writer's observations of minicamp.
The graphic is listed a little weirdly -- Offense is listed top-down, but defense is listed bottom-up.
Probably most meaningful observation is that Antoine Green appears to be the early favorite for WR3. Everything else is pretty standard stuff or explained by injury absences.
I liked Mike O'Hara. He was pretty straight about the team his entire time, but he was covering the best. Those guys are supposed to be pretty vanilla, they are not supposed to be serving up hot takes.
I Just think WR3 is just not that big of a deal. I may be wrong but it's kind of like the NBA when a team loses a scorer and you have a hard time imagining how they are going to replace the points. Either it is spread around amongst the existing players, they find someone or somebody steps up. Josh Reynolds played 70 percent of the offensive snaps. Raymond played 30 percent, Green 9 percent, DPJ six percent and Jameson Williams had thirty-eight percent. If you up the percentage of snaps of those players, you make up a lot of that even if you don't do anything else

I'd still be Kalif will be WR3, even though it won't matter all that much. All will be below ASB, Jamo, LaPorta and Gibbs in the pecking order.
PFF just did a show talking about the best and worst rosters in the NFL
For the worst rosters: They agreed that the bottom rosters of today are better than the bottom rosters of the past, that the floor is raising. Still, they seemed agreed that there were 4 teams that look bad atm: Broncos, Cardinals, Patriots & Giants. They are particularly concerned for the Patriots given that Belicheck players tend to only play well for him (don't we know it).
For the top rosters: They had 49ers at #1 because of the star power, but they seemed to agree that the Lions were #2 and arguably #1 because of better depth and fewer weaknesses.
Yeah, these guys have always been big on our roster. Good problem that pretty much our only concerns are depth at a couple positions and that's about it. Fingers crossed for another relatively healthy season.
