For the first time in over a decade, the Detroit Lions will be playing an international game this season, with the National Football League announcing that the Lions will be one of the teams participating in the 2026 NFL Munich Game.

The Lions are slated to be the home team for the game. The opponent and date of the matchup will be announced at a later date.

It is expected to be a special game for Pro Bowl wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown, as his mother is from Germany and he has hosted several camps in the country.

It has been a dream of mine to play a game in my mothers home country of Germany since coming to the league, said Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown. I cannot wait to play in front of the incredible fans that Ive gotten to know through my visits and football camps in the country. Their support for me and the countrys instant connection to the Lions brand is inspiring, and Im looking forward to our team getting to showcase Detroit football on an international scale.

The last time the Lions played across the pond was in 2015, when Detroit defeated the Atlanta Falcons, 22-21.

Kara Braxton, a two-time champion with the Detroit Shock, has passed away, the Women's National Basketball Association announced on Sunday evening. She was 43 years old.

Braxton and her five siblings grew up in Jackson, Michigan. She was drafted by the Shock in April 2005, and played for the Shock in their final five seasons in Detroit (2005-2009).

Braxton, who was named an All-Star in 2007, also played for the Tulsa Shock (2010), the Phoenix Mercury (2010-2011) and the New York Liberty (2011-2014).

For the first time in 13 years, the Michigan men's basketball team is ranked No. 1 in the weekly Associated Press poll.

The 24-1 Wolverines has been ranked in the top ten all season long, debuting at No. 7 in the preseason poll and being ranked in the top five since the Week 5 poll published on Dec. 1.

Per a spokesperson for the team, tomorrow's game against Purdue will be the 39th game the Wolverines have played as the No. 1 team in the poll, with the last time being on Saturday, Feb. 2, 2013.

As of Monday, Feb. 16, before the evening games, Michigan sits alone atop the Big Ten standings with a 14-1 record, two games ahead of second-place Illinois. Michigan's lone loss this season happened at home to Wisconsin on Saturday, Jan. 10, with the Badgers winning, 91-88.

On Bracket Matrix, a website that aggregates projections from bracketologists across the country, the Wolverines are projected to be the No. 1 overall seed in the NCAA tournament next month.

The Wolverines have two games against ranked opponents this week, facing No. 7 Purdue at Mackey Arena in Indiana on Tuesday, Feb. 17 before taking on No. 3 Duke in Washington D.C. on Saturday, Feb. 21.

Detroit 75 Kitchen, a popular food truck in the Motor City, is set to open its first brick-and-mortar location this weekend.

The restaurant, located at 32275 Stephenson Hwy in Madison Heights, will open on Friday, Feb. 20, at 10 a.m. This location came from a $1.5 million investment, as Detroit 75 Kitchen said in a press release that it will employ 25 full-time team members for the location.

We're told the location will have a retro-diner aesthetic, with terrazzo-style floors and Detroit-centric details like recycled Faygo pop bottles sealed into the table tops and memorabilia from Detroit's NFL Draft and the PGA Tour's Rocket Classic.

"Madison Heights is exactly where we want to be," said Ahmad Nassar, co-owner of Detroit 75 Kitchen. "We started by feeding truck driverspeople who want real food at a fair price. We're not trying to be a destination restaurant where you visit once for Instagram. We want to be the place you stop for lunch, on your way home from work, where you know the staff and they know your order. That's what a neighborhood sandwich shop should be."

Detroit 75 Kitchen was named one of the Top 3 Food Trucks in the U.S. and ranked a Top 100 Restaurant in the U.S. by US Weekly.

The hours for the new location are as follows:

Monday through Friday: 10 a.m.-8 p.m. Saturday: 11 a.m.-6 p.m. Closed on Sundays

Mickey Lolich, a left-handed pitcher who pitched three complete-game victories to help lead the Detroit Tigers to the 1968 World Series title, has died at 85, the team confirmed in a statement.

Voted the World Series MVP in 1968, Lolich won 217 of his 496 starts, posting a 3.44 Earned Run Average, pitching in 3,638.1 innings and accumulating 2832 strikeouts and a Wins Above Replacement (Baseball Reference) of 48.0 across 16 seasons. He played for the Tigers for 13 seasons, being named an All-Star in 1969, 1971 and 1972. He finished his career pitching one season for the New York Mets (1976) and two seasons with the San Diego Padres (1978-79).

Lolich leads the Tigers in strikeouts, and ranks third in innings pitched and wins. At the time of his retirement in 1979, Lolich held the Major League Baseball record for career strikeouts by a left-handed pitcher. He's now fifth on the all-time list, behind Hall of Famers Randy Johnson, Steve Carlton, and CC Sabathia, as well as recently retired pitcher Clayton Kershaw.

Lolich signed with the Tigers as an amateur free agent when he was 17 years old in 1958, per the Albany Democrat-Herald. He made his debut with the Tigers five years later.

Lolich was inducted into the Michigan Sports Hall of Fame in 1982, and the Croatian-American Sports Hall of Fame in 2022.

Below is a statement released by the Tigers on Wednesday afternoon, in full:

"The Detroit Tigers are deeply saddened to learn of the loss of Michael Stephen Mickey Lolich, who passed away today at the age of 85.

Lolich spent 13 of his 16 Major League seasons with the Tigers (19631975), emerging as one of the most durable and dominant left-handed pitchers of his era and a cornerstone of Detroits pitching staff for more than a decade. He is perhaps best remembered for his legendary performance in the 1968 World Series, when he posted a 30 record with a 1.67 ERA in three complete-game victories including a decisive Game 7 on two days rest earning World Series Most Valuable Player honors.

Over the course of his career, Lolich accumulated a long list of accolades. He was a three-time American League All-Star (1969, 1971 and 1972) and finished second in Cy Young Award voting in 1971 when he led the league in wins (25), strikeouts (308), innings pitched and starts. He also placed fifth in MVP voting that same year and remained among the leagues elite pitchers in 1972.

Lolichs consistency and durability were hallmarks of his Tigers tenure, posting seven campaigns with 200-plus strikeouts and won 14 or more games in 10 consecutive seasons. He holds several Tigers team records, including single-season strikeouts (308), career strikeouts (2,679), shutouts (39) and games started (459), and was the clubs Opening Day starter seven times. He also owns the lowest career postseason ERA (min. 40 IP) in Tigers history at 1.57.

Across his entire 16-year Major League career, Lolich appeared in 586 games and compiled a 217191 record with a 3.44 ERA. He threw 41 shutouts and 195 complete games, completing nearly 40 percent of his starts a testament to his remarkable endurance in an era of heavy workloads. At the time of his retirement, Lolichs 2,832 career strikeouts were the most ever by a left-handed pitcher in Major League history, a mark he held until surpassed by Steve Carlton.

After retiring from baseball, Lolich was inducted into the Michigan Sports Hall of Fame in 1982 and the Croatian American Sports Hall of Fame in 2022.

Everyone with the Detroit Tigers extends their heartfelt condolences to Lolichs wife Joyce and the entire Lolich family. His legacy on and off the field will forever be cherished."

Perry Johnson, a Republican businessman, announced his candidacy for Governor of Michigan on Monday morning.

Michigan families and small businesses deserve a government that works as hard as they do, Johnson said. We can deliver better services at lower cost by running state government with the same efficiency, accountability, and a results-driven mindset we used to help save the auto industry and businesses across the country.

Johnson previously ran for President of the United States in March of 2023, before dropping out six months later. He also ran for the Republican nomination for Governor of Michigan in 2021, with a $1.5 million ad campaign that was featured in Super Bowl LV. But he was left off the ballot after the state Court of Appeals denied his request to be reinstated, following disqualification after Perry was one of five GOP candidates accused of using fradulent ballot petition signatures.

You can learn more about Perry at his campaign website.
