Man - if this rain in Grand Rapids was just an hour or two later... it would have some snow. So close!

STATEMENT FROM JACK CAMPBELL
My family and I want to sincerely thank everyone for the overwhelming amount of love, prayers, and support we’ve received over the past few days. It means more to us than words can express.
I’m incredibly encouraged by the progress I’ve made in such a short period of time. I have full movement in my lower body, and I’m continuing to make progress with movement in my upper body. I know there’s still work ahead, but I remain very optimistic. I’m taking things one day at a time, staying positive, and focusing on getting better.
My faith in God has never been stronger. I know He has a plan for me, and I trust in that plan. I know there may be challenges ahead, but with my faith, my family, and so many people in my corner, I know we’ll get through this.
I especially want to thank the athletic trainers and medical personnel who responded and cared for me on the field. I know those were difficult moments, and I’m incredibly grateful for the professionalism, compassion, and care you showed me. The way you handled everything and looked after me when I needed it most is something I’ll never forget. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
I also can’t say enough about the incredible care I’ve received from the medical team at Henry Ford Hospital and the Detroit Lions medical staff. They’ve been amazing to me and my family throughout this process, and I’m truly grateful for everything they’ve done.
To my teammates, coaches, and everyone in the Lions organization, I want you to know how much I love and appreciate you. This team is a family to me, and the way everyone has been there for me means everything. I’m proud to be a Detroit Lion and couldn’t ask to be surrounded by a better group of people.
One thing I’ve learned about Detroit is that this city is built on toughness, resilience, and grit. That’s exactly how I’m going to approach this challenge.
Please continue to keep me and my family in your prayers. We feel the love, and I can’t thank everyone enough.
God is good. My faith is strong.

Throwing away my Larkin jersey that I have had since his rookie season. 🗑️
🚨 UPDATE: Per @PierreVLeBrun, Dylan Larkin & his camp were the ones to decide that he was no longer going to play for the Red Wings, in hopes that sitting out would accelerate a trade happening. #LGRW
Thoughts on Dylan sitting it out & risking suspension? ⤵️

The Diplomat is the best show on TV and it does not get talked about enough. Season 4 was some of the best TV I’ve ever seen.
Are we having fun yet? Grand Rapids saw a high of 84 degrees on Monday and by Saturday morning, we will be in the lower 30s. Just a casual 51 degree drop. #miwx

On Oct. 8, 1871, the Great Michigan Fire swept across portions of the state, destroying communities including Holland, Manistee and areas of Michigan's Thumb. Happening at the same time as the more widely known #GreatChicagoFire, the disaster remains among the deadliest wildfires in Michigan history.
Today, it serves as a reminder that emergencies can happen with little warning. Take time to build an emergency kit, create an evacuation plan and stay informed about potential hazards in your area.
If you're near Manistee, visit the historical marker at Orchard Beach State Park, which commemorates those affected by the fire. Historic newspaper photos are provided by @HollandMuseum.

ALT Historical marker that says "Great Fire of 1871: On Oct. 8, 1871, the day the famous Chicago fire begin, equally terrible fires broke out on Lake Michigan's east coast in forests parched by a hot dry summer. The flames were fanned by high winds. In a few hours, most of Holland and Manistee lay in smoldering ruins. A fate other coastal towns barely escaped. The fires swept on across the state, clear to Lake Huron, destroying some two million acres of trees. Relief for the thousands of victims came from all of Michigan and the nation."
