It may not be this year, it may not be next year, but some are saying an 18-game regular season is on the horizon. Per CBS Sports’ Jonathan Jones, the increase wasn’t necessarily talked about during the NFL’s annual league meetings last week, but it didn’t really need to be.
With NFL free agency more or less over, it’s time to look at the teams that matter most to the Detroit Lions: their NFC North rivals. The Lions remain the division title holder for their second straight offseason, but the Chicago Bears, Green Bay Packers, and Minnesota Vikings all made some splash signings this free…

On Sunday afternoon, Alexander Ovechkin of the Washington Capitals broke the longstanding NHL goal record, reaching 895 career goals to topple Wayne Gretzky.

One story that came out of the number shakeup the Detroit Lions released earlier this week was a touching gesture by Lions’ cornerback Terrion Arnold.
