Christmas denied to Haitian kids who can’t get into their country

Christmas denied to Haitian kids who can’t get into their country

by Mitch Albom | Dec 22, 2024 | Comment, Detroit Free Press

One wanted to brag about his grades. One wanted to talk about his soccer team. One, if we’re being honest, wanted to see what presents she would get. All of them wanted to lift up and hug their baby sisters and brothers and see how big they’ve grown. None of them will...

Trump, Vance bizarre pet-eating claim only proves how fast a lie can travel

by Mitch Albom | Sep 15, 2024 | Comment, Detroit Free Press

If you ever doubted the power of one awful social media post to slander an entire people, look no further than the firestorm over Haitians eating people’s pets in Springfield, Ohio. Less than two weeks ago, a single post on X claimed that a Springfield resident saw a...

New day dawns for Lions as they rise to a new standard

by Mitch Albom | Sep 9, 2024 | Detroit Free Press, Sports

The Detroit Lions’ epic battle against the Rams ended with the Lions’ first OT win in eight years, a gutsy, exhausting display of overcoming obstacles.

For Detroit Lions fans, it’s the morning after the morning after — and it still hurts

by Mitch Albom | Jan 30, 2024 | Detroit Free Press, Sports

The blue porch lights have been shut off. The Detroit Lions jerseys have been thrown in the wash. We are sitting in the living room with the TV off, our cheeks in our hands, our bodies slumped. “Now what?” we ask. “Now you suffer,” fate answers. Well, duh....

Detroit Lions fall one half short of Super Bowl, but that shouldn’t spoil this run

by Mitch Albom | Jan 29, 2024 | Detroit Free Press, Sports

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Once upon a time, starry-eyed dreamers came to California in search of gold. On Sunday afternoon, the most beleaguered franchise in NFL history brought its dream to the Golden State, put its pan in the water, thought it saw a bright, shiny...

Denying the Holocaust continues the legacy of lies that created it

by Mitch Albom | Jan 28, 2024 | Comment, Detroit Free Press

I was walking through Yad Vashem, the Holocaust memorial in Israel and one of the most haunting places in the world, when I stopped to listen to a video from an elderly female survivor. She was talking about the questions she got after the war, including...

Detroit Lions facing the moment of a lifetime with Super Bowl trip at stake

by Mitch Albom | Jan 28, 2024 | Detroit Free Press, Sports

There’s a video of Alex Anzalone that surfaces every year about this time. He doesn’t like it. It is not a crashing tackle or a leaping interception. It’s Anzalone, then a New Orleans Saint, smashing his helmet to the ground in frustration at the end of the 2019 NFC...

Jim Harbaugh leaving Michigan football was how fairy tale season was destined to end

by Mitch Albom | Jan 26, 2024 | Detroit Free Press, Sports

Jim Harbaugh walked away from a dream job to take a job he couldn’t stop dreaming about. That’s all there is to say. There was never a doubt in the minds of those who knew him that Harbaugh would eventually return to the NFL, because he is not someone to leave...

Detroit Lions no longer a cute story. They’re now a win away from Super Bowl

by Mitch Albom | Jan 22, 2024 | Detroit Free Press, Sports

Rookie running back Jahmyr Gibbs took the football on Tampa Bay’s 31-yard line and burst out like a cannon shot, a piece of Detroit’s future trying desperately to outrun its past. He shot through the line, then deftly cut left, and it was a foot race to the end zone,...

Detroit Lions’ playoff run becomes center stage for dueling QB revenge tour

by Mitch Albom | Jan 21, 2024 | Detroit Free Press, Sports

It was Mae West who said, “All discarded lovers should be given a second chance — but with somebody else.” Which brings us to the crazy big football game in downtown Detroit this afternoon. It is a divisional playoff game, yes, the likes of which have not been...
