Unfortunately, Tobias Harris came down to Earth. And Cade GOTTA cut down those TOs and lackadaisical mistakes.

Some critical mistakes by Detroit down the stretch. If they lose Friday it’ll haunt them all summer long

RIP Charlie Neal, the play-by-play man who brought college football to BET. And Charlie hosted a BET sportswriter roundtable with @RealMikeWilbon, Ralph Wiley, and others that was on TV before The Sports Reporters. theringer.com/2020/12/31/spo…

Fox was bad down the stretch in this game.

Kick ball?!
