Comerica Park has seen its share of legends this year during Detroit Tigers games —Tarik Skubal painting corners like a Detroit muralist, Riley Greene tracking down everything with a glove full of magic, and the bullpen slamming doors like it's October already. But on Tuesday night, a new hero scampered into town: a squirrel. Yes, a squirrel. And not just any squirrel—Detroit’s Rally Squirrel. It all went down early in the game, just as the Tigers were settling in against the Giants.

Let me just say it upfront: I’ve always believed in Bigfoot. Call it what you want—Sasquatch, Skunk Ape, Michigan Howler—doesn’t matter to me. I’ve read the books. I’ve watched the documentaries. And yes, I’ve taken my fair share of jokes from friends who think the idea of a 7-foot ape-man roaming the woods is just campfire nonsense. But I believe - and maybe Mitch Hedberg was right. But now, a new sighting in my home state of Michigan has me sitting up straighter.

After coming up just short last season, the Detroit Lions are back—and this time, it’s not just about making the playoffs. It’s about winning it all. We’re talking confetti, Gatorade showers, and Dan Campbell hoisting the Lombardi. This team is built, the city is ready, and if you ask me, it’s happening. Super Bowl. This year. Book it.

If you’ve driven I-75, the Southfield Freeway, or—God help us all—the Lodge, you’ve probably seen your fair share of “What in the hell is happening here?” moments. But this one? This Texas version of a Detroit freeway disaster is next-level absurd. It all went down earlier this week in Houston, Texas, where a man’s old Saab broke down on a highway. Now, in a perfect world, you’d call a tow truck, wait a bit, and get your car safely hauled away. That’s not what happened here.

On the morning of February 10, 1945, Sgt. Robert Lawrence Silverston, a 24-year-old radio operator and gunner from Detroit, Michigan, was flying in a B-26 Marauder over Germany when his plane was hit by anti-aircraft fire. The aircraft spiraled into the clouds. No parachutes were seen. Silverston and the entire crew perished. Today, he rests in the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, where his grave is lovingly cared for by Dutch citizens. But his family in Michigan may have no idea.

Justin Sullivan/ Getty ImagesLet’s be honest—when you think about Amazon Prime, you probably expect fast delivery, a smiley box on your porch, and maybe a random impulse buy showing up before you can remember why you ordered it. What you don’t expect? A free side order of human waste. Yet that’s exactly what a couple of families in California got on Mother’s Day, courtesy of one very overwhelmed—or under-hydrated—Amazon delivery driver.

Everyone loves a Bloody Mary bar with brunch! So you’re thinking about taking Mom to brunch this Sunday. Seems like a solid idea, right? Mimosas. French toast. You show up in something other than a hoodie, and she pretends not to notice you’re late. Classic Mother’s Day move. But… what if it’s not? What if, as one mom on TikTok put it, dragging a woman out of her peaceful home on one of the busiest restaurant days of the year feels more like a punishment than a gift?
