Dan Campbell has nothing but high praise for Lions QB Jared Goff.
Goff had a surprisingly impressive 2022-23 season. His play was critically important down the stretch as the Lions finished 8-2 in the team’s final 10 games to finish 9-8. The Lions just barely missed out on the postseason, and while that was painful, the franchise is clearly trending up.
The team’s quarterback was a huge part of that last season, and Dan Campbell thinks Goff’s play has come a long way since his time with the Los Angeles Rams.
Jared Goff played at a high level last season.

A sit-down with the Hall of Fame guard and former Heat player.
Despite only coming into existence 35 years ago, the Miami Heat already have a storied franchise history. And it all started in the 2006 NBA Playoffs when the team went on their first of three NBA Championship runs.
Before Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo, before the superteam Miami Heatles, there was Dwayne Wade, Shaquille O’Neal, and their cast of veteran role players.
In merging with LIV, the PGA Tour delivered the ultimate betrayal on the useful idiots it used in its temporary war with the Saudi-backed tour.
ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith is going viral again for giving a controversial description of Nuggets star center Nikola Jokić on Tuesday’s episode of First Take.
While discussing that Jokić isn’t the hardest NBA player to guard in the league right now, Smith described Jokić as a “big tub of lard.” This phrasing comes just days after Skip Bayless of Fox Sports was roasted for referring to the Serbian center as a “big tub of Crisco.”
Fans seem generally annoyed with this consistent description of the two-time NBA MVP.

Beneil Dariush is one victory away from fighting for the UFC lightweight title.
Standing in his way is Charles Oliveira, whose success over the past three years in the division is rivaled by only that of current lightweight champion Islam Makhachev.
But Oliveira and Makhachev are not the only ones who have strung together unstoppable stretches. Despite being constantly overlooked, Dariush (22-4-1) has won seven fights in a row. If he defeats Oliveira (33–9, 1 NC) on Saturday at UFC 289, he will be at the front of the line to challenge Makhachev.

It’s always nice when the suffering can end (well, for one team)
It’s October 28, 1995. We’re at Atlanta Fulton County Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia.
Braves reliever Mark Wohlers has retired Cleveland’s first two batters of the ninth inning in a brutally tense 1-0 game.
