Holy hell. What anger. What fury.
The running back led the league in rushing touchdowns last season.
After two seasons with the Lions, running back Jamaal Williams left Detroit to sign a three-year, $12 million contract with the Saints. However, it doesn’t seem like the Lions tried hard to keep the running back around.

OutKick’s Dan Dakich went on Fox and Friends to breakdown the madness.
Dan said the reason Farleigh Dickinson won was simple. “You gotta make shots, Zach Edey is the player of the year in basketball and he gets 21, great. The rest of the team show 12-42.”
Farleigh Dickinson lost their conference tournament final to Merrimack 67-66.

No. 1 Purdue suffered one of the worst losses in college basketball history on Friday night, falling in the first round of the men’s NCAA tournament to No. 16 Fairleigh Dickinson 63–58. The Boilermakers became just the second No. 1 seed in the history of the event to lose to a 16-seed.
After the game, someone in the Boilermakers locker room appears to have taken out their frustration on the whiteboard, a photo tweeted by WISH-TV sports anchor Angela Moryan shows.
The Cyclones scored just 41 points in their loss.
On Friday, No. 6 Iowa State put up one of the worst offensive performances of the men’s NCAA tournament, scoring just 41 points in a 59–41 loss to No. 11 Pittsburgh. The Cyclones only scored two points in the first ten minutes of the game and shot 23.3% from the field, including 9.5% from three-point range.
Before the game, Iowa State needed to get its rim fixed for shootaround, as the basket was initially crooked. That took away the Cyclones’ ability to warm up, which might have led to such a slow start.
The legendary point guard-turned-Memphis coach was not happy as his team lost in controversial fashion.

The finish was not without controversy, as the officials did not award Memphis a timeout after the Tigers appeared to recover a loose ball with 5.

We’ve got too much to get to for any sort of big intro here, so let’s just get right to it.
If you want to get to the Fairleigh Dickinson stuff, then you can go ahead and skip on down to the second section. While the Knights’ upset of Purdue was certainly the most notable result of the day, it was not one of the day’s three best games. Blame the Boilermakers for that.
