Once upon a time, there were eight outdoor hockey rinks in Detroit. Now there's only one, and it's in the middle of Mexicantown. I played in its annual tournament (scoring zero goals in four games, sheesh) and found the people preserving a lost era. 971theticket.radio.com/articles/young…

#Lions RB David Montgomery said he was pumping gas this week when a woman approached him in tears and thanked him for the Lions’ playoff win. Montgomery hugged her, and thanked her for believing.

How did Dan Campbell scout Vikings-Eagles on MNF? "Normally, like any fan would. I fell over backwards in my chair drunk after the second half, I couldn’t even take notes anymore. Woke up, couldn’t read my notes. But I’m back in this morning, took some aspirin, we’re good."

#Lions OC Ben Johnson on unloading the trick plays last week: "I’m not worried about putting things on tape. If anything, it’s going to set up the next thing down the road. The well is deep."

#Lions QB Jared Goff: "I don’t want to say this arrogantly, but we expected to win the first game, we expected to win this game and now we get to go to a game we expected to be in against a really good team at their place and we’re going to come into it expecting to win."

Here's Sean McVay on his experience at Ford Field: "It was an incredible atmosphere. The fans were booing my ass when I walked out and they were all fired up. And I loved it. It’s what’s great about NFL football, and this city is a great football city, so nothing but respect."

Terrion Arnold said Brian Branch told him Ford Field is louder than Tuscaloosa. Arnold didn’t believe him. Then he took the field tonight. “Way louder,” he said.

A gutted Lions locker room. Red eyes and broken hearts. And a hardened one. Amon-Ra: “Waking off the field, seeing them celebrate, that’s a feeling we’ll never forget. We’re not feeling that way next year.” Anzalone: “It’s Super Bowl or bust.”

Jamal Adams on the Lions: “Been kicking everybody’s ass.” “They didn’t have to call me, they didn’t need me, they been doing phenomenal, so just to get that call from a first-class organization like the Detroit Lions, it’s a no-brainer for me.”

Dan Campbell said he was walking thru facility last wk when out of nowhere "someone punches me against the wall, then I get punched again and I realize that it's Frank trying to show me that his pec is great. That's his way of telling me, 'Look how strong I am, it's good.'"

So Detroit shattered attendance records at the NFL draft while Eminem kicked things off in Cadillac Square, Barry Sanders served Bud Lights at B-Dubs and Amon-Ra St. Brown dished out slices from a Little Caesars pizza truck. Different Round Here.
