It's a blow, no doubt. A big one. And why not? Frank Ragnow is a big man. The man in the middle, quite literally. Now he’s gone. Off to retirement, to the lake, to his fishing rods, to his health, and pain-free mornings, hopefully. Good for him. Not so good for the Lions, whose road to the Super Bowl just got harder.

His Detroit Tigers had just blown a four-run lead and now here was Riley Greene, stepping to the plate, a runner on first with no outs and a pitcher on the mound who’d been dominating lefties this season. Pressure? Nah. This was fun. He was in no rush. But then Greene rarely is, not with a bat in his hands, anyway. And so, he took the first pitch from Kyle Leahy and hardly budged.

“I had a come-to-Jesus meeting with myself,” Tom Izzo said earlier this week. “I told myself: ‘I’ve got to get back to who I am.’ ” He didn’t want to change. He wanted to adapt. He has spent the last year mining that subtle difference: https://t.co/rPMcgpt4Sn
Andy Isaac’s humor, playful trash talk and expletive-laced declaratives about the Bears drew us in. But it was his weekly question that moved us: “Tell me something good that happened to you.” https://t.co/tkb5F5weB2
