This is why Lions practice was canceled today. Entire Lions team addressing media outside the building to discuss the shooting of Jacob Blake.

Heartbroken and devastated to share my loving, funny, wise and all around incredible dad passed away this morning.
No one ever did or ever will root for me harder. My # 1 fan. I cannot fathom life without him. 💔
After 7 years with the Lions, I’m starting a new chapter. It was hard to find the words to explain what this job has meant to me, but I gave it a go in one last video 💙
Thank you, Detroit.
What a freaking game. Not only does Stafford win, but he leads a game-winning drive with seconds to go.
Those of us who watched him in Detroit are not surprised. That’s the QB we’ve seen for 12 years.
Is this real life?!? I won my first Emmy tonight!! For Sports Reporter Talent. It was a virtual ceremony at home, but I’m still over the moon 🥳
SO grateful for everyone who helped make this happen & proud of all our
@Lions
winners! Thank you Lord!
@NATASMichigan
My sister is an ICU nurse and volunteered to join her hospital’s COVID unit. So proud of her. Keep her, her patients and everyone on the front lines of this in your prayers! 💙
I am loving every last bit of this for you Detroit 🥹🫶🏼
@fordfield
is so underrated as a venue and I know it is absolutely rocking this season. In primetime! You deserve it
Just talked 1 on 1 with Penei Sewell. If you thought the Lions war room was hype about this pick - you should hear from Penei. He is PUMPED. Said he is ready to hit someone in the mouth right now
Insane. NFC North champs.
NFC NORTH CHAMPS.
It feels so crazy to say that!! Wow. Could not be happier for this team, and for YOU Detroit!! You deserve this!!
Man, I remember when it was absolutely monumental that the Lions went on the road and won in Green Bay. This just feels like it was expected. Love this era for Detroit
Metro Detroit hospital workers! Here are the 4 spots the Stafford family has covered $5000 of free meals for you:
Slow's to Go
Zingerman's Deli
Wahlburger's Royal Oak
Roadside B&G
Call to order, say you work at a hospital & show your badge upon pick up. 3 meal limit per pickup.
Get this - T.J. Hockenson’s favorite movie is Lion King. He wore “King of the Jungle” socks to the draft tonight and ended up being drafted by the Lions.
7 years of covering No. 9 as QB1. Lucky to have worked with someone so gracious, down-to-earth, and universally liked by everyone who knows him. Will always root for the Stafford family.
Thank you, 9.
2 years ago the Lions and Bengals coached the Senior Bowl. Now, one of those teams is in the Super Bowl.
The other… is coaching the Senior Bowl again. But it does show what’s possible 2 years from now, Lions fans!*
*(it helps to draft a franchise QB)
Dan Campbell is going on about how his philosphy is that his team is gonna fight. "We’re gonna kick you in the teeth… If you knock us down, on the way up we’re gonna bite a knee cap off”
Basically a full minute of this emoji: 😤

’s name is real, says he treats life like he’s the main character in an anime movie 😂 Respect
My first Thanksgiving in 7 years spent with my family.
Don’t get me wrong, I LOVED being part of the Thanksgiving tradition in Detroit. But man it’s fun to be home this year. Still rooting on the Honolulu Blue from Florida 💙
Happy Thanksgiving, friends!
Did a little updating to my Twitter bio as some of you pointed out 😆🤩 I am so appreciative of all the congrats you all have shared, it truly means so much to me! I am overwhelmed by the love 💗
Do not get the “Stafford bailed on Detroit” narrative that some of y’all have (a minority, but still). It’s a business & he’s a real person with a career. How the Lions’ season went is evidence enough that the expectation for him to have stayed is unfair + unrealistic.
So much fun catching up with some familiar faces and some new ones today at
@fordfield
family day! Enjoyed being a fan this time and seeing
@dannierogers___
in action 😄
RB D’Andre Swift says just about everyone in his contact list reached out to encourage him after the TD drop. Says he had his family in town and that helped him not get too down on himself after the game.
Watching while taxiing on the runway heading to Denver and as soon as the Bucs scored I said, “Stafford still has plenty of time. This is his specialty.” Sure enough.
Tell me 9 isn’t clutch 🔥🔥🔥
Kenny Golladay says Danny Amendola’s work ethic is crazy and he pushes everyone else in the room to get the best out of them - good to have a savvy vet like that around.
Y’all go give
@dannierogers___
a warm welcome as the new
@Lions
team reporter!! Excited to have her in the team reporter sorority and see all the big things she’s going to do in Detroit 💙
🚨🚨When the hometown team calls. . . you answer the dang phone🚨🚨
I'm SO excited to say that I'll be the Team Reporter for the Detroit Lions, the city I grew up just down the road from my entire life 💙🤍
Unreal to say that. Let's get to work DETROIT 👊

So much can change in a year.
This time last year, the Lions announced they were trading Stafford. Today he made it to the Super Bowl. So happy for the Staffords - sometimes you have to bet on yourself.
Throwback to the last time the Lions were in Lambeau on a Monday and a certain flag ruined the night 🙃😒 Here’s hoping for retribution and the same Rodgers we saw against the Saints last week. Happy

, Lions fans!
The Lions announce that Matthew Stafford is off the COVID list. He had a false-positive test and never had COVID. All of his family has been tested as well and they are all negative.
The 2024 NFL Draft in Detroit. Pretty freaking excited about this one 🤩 The draft is the best event on the NFL offseason calendar and Detroit gets to show out for it
I love this so much. Paying for hospital workers’ meals while supporting local restaurants.
Also donating $100,000 to a food bank and programs for affected kids in the Detroit school district.
The Staffords are good, good people.
My Valentine lives in Arizona and was passing through DTW on business tonight as I am headed to FL to see my family - so we had a 2 hour Valentines date in the airport as we crossed paths. Thanks
@DTWeetin
for a magical VDay 💌✈️
Cool moment at Ford Field when they put Kerryon Johnson up on the boards after passing the infamous 100-yd mark - he was sitting on the bench and his teammates were hyping him up big time, stadium was going nuts
Since some of you are asking if I’m coming back to Detroit now that Marv is coming back - I just got married and live in Colorado now so that’s probably not in the cards for me 😆
Love you guys though and appreciate the love you still show me after all this time! 🫶🏼
