Lions coach Dan Campbell addressed the media on Wednesday ahead of Sunday’s game against Lamar Jackson and the Ravens.
Campbell spoke about the importance of containing Jackson defensively, but ended his response with a heartfelt statement to media member Bernie Smilovitz, whose wife recently passed away.
“He’s extremely dangerous as always. That’s not changing right now, so that focal point will always start with him, especially defensively,” Campbell said.
After a brief pause, Campbell looked once again at Smilovitz.
“My heart goes out to you, man. God bless you.

Kudos to the Las Vegas Aces for winning the WNBA championship Wednesday night in Brooklyn. The team won its second consecutive league title, and A’ja Wilson shined, winning Finals MVP.
Yet some fans were happy for Tom Brady following the Aces’ big win. Why is the retired NFL star in this conversation? Does he somehow have to be a topic in every sports discussion? This is basketball, not football.
However, the Aces’ success does affect Brady.
It’s time to set your DFS lineups for the Sunday main slate. Today’s list includes players who will return value regardless of their salary.

You’ll see a number of players from that game listed below. Don’t worry if you have to spend up — we will be back Friday with values you can plug in. With six teams on bye this week and a lot of injuries as well, the DFS bargains article will be full of interesting and new options.
Penn State’s six-year pileup of pain at the hands of Ohio State began miserably enough, in 2017, when the Nittany Lions frittered away an 11-point lead in the final five minutes to lose by a point. That was bad, but it quickly got worse.
The fourth-and-5 handoff to nowhere that killed a potential game-winning drive in ‘18? That crashing anticlimax of a play call followed three successive timeouts—two by Penn State, one by Ohio State—and it came after blowing a 12-point lead in the last half of the fourth quarter. That was the White-Out that lives in infamy. That was the nadir.
As a girl, Wilson wanted to be the best. Now she has led the Aces to the first back-to-back WNBA titles in 21 years.
Sometimes, narratives need to be shattered as the data changes.
For the last few years, Tua Tagovailoa and Jared Goff were seen as just parts of their offense—sometimes positive, and at other points restrictive. The Dolphins and Lions were both above .500 in 2022, but neither was seen as a real threat.
Fast forward to the present. Miami and Detroit are a combined 10–2, and you would be hard-pressed to name a pair of quarterbacks playing better ball.

Drew Allar needs a legacy game for Penn State to finally beat Ohio State
It’s been six years since Penn State knocked off Ohio State, and over a decade since the Nittany Lions defeated the Buckeyes in Columbus. This Saturday might represent their best chance to knock them off in a long time. With skill position and trench talent almost identical to the Buckeyes, the one thing that’s set them apart will make the difference once again on Saturday: quarterback play.
College football is beginning to heat up as the 2023 season passes its halfway point.
There was quite a bit of movement in the top 10 last week after Washington’s win over Oregon and this week’s schedule could see a similar shakeup. The biggest game of the week is taking place in Columbus, where No. 3 Ohio State hosts No. 7 Penn State in a pivotal Big Ten East battle. And later in the afternoon, No. 11 Alabama takes on No. 17 Tennessee in Tuscaloosa as it looks to stay undefeated in SEC play.
There are also two other top-25 matchups to monitor: No. 16 Duke plays No.
Former USWNT forward Carli Lloyd continues to answer for opting to stand while Megan Rapinoe and her teammates took a knee protesting the U.S. at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
At the time, it was trendy to get on one knee and declare a humanitarian cause. After doing it several times, Lloyd took a night off and left-wingers went crazy.

The Las Vegas Aces won their second straight WNBA title in dramatic fashion Wednesday night, beating the New York Liberty, 70–68, in a thriller in Brooklyn.
The Aces became the first WNBA franchise in 21 years to win back-to-back championships and are just the third team in league history to win two straight titles.
After the game, team owner Mark Davis (who, of course, also owns the Raiders), celebrated on the court with his players and showed off some of his dance moves. Were they great dance moves? No, not really. Were they entertaining dance moves? Absolutely.
