Metro Detroit realtor postpones Matthew Stafford jersey swap ahead of Lions-Rams playoff matchup
DETROIT – Metro Detroit realtor Jeff Glover has postponed his Matthew Stafford jersey swap event ahead of the Lions first home playoff game against the Los Angeles Rams inside Ford Field.
Glover, who owns Glover Agency Realtors, wanted to give away 1,000 new Lions jerseys in exchange for the 14-year veterans’ used, now retro, jersey.
In exchange, Glover said he would donate sed jerseys to homeless shelters needing clothing for adults and people experiencing homelessness in Los Angeles, California.
Glover Agency sent out a press release stating that his agency was prohibited from hosting the Detroit Lions jersey exchange at the request of the NFL.
“At the request of the NFL, Glover Agency is prohibited from hosting the Lions Jersey Exchange at this time. We hope to get back with a rescheduled date soon. Our sincerest apologies. For more information, please call us at 248-566-7200 or email us at info@gloveragency.com.”

Lions fans were going to have the opportunity to wear a brand new, on-field replica jersey bearing the name of a player that was currently on the team instead of paying homage to an opponent that is looking to eliminate their hometown team from the playoffs.
“While I can appreciate what Stafford has done for our city, as a fan myself, it drives me crazy to see so many Stafford jerseys still being worn by fans at our own games,” said Glover. “Imagine how you’d feel if you were our quarterback, looking out into the seats of Ford Field and seeing another QB’s jersey on hundreds, if not thousands of fans, especially one who’s still in the league and now competing against us!”
Before the event’s cancellation, Glover wanted to give fans who returned their gently used, freshly washed Stafford jerseys in exchange for a Jared Goff, Amon-Ra St. Brown, or Aidan Hutchinson jersey.
“I purchased mostly Goff jerseys because we need to get behind the QB that is poised to take us all the way, and it just seemed right to trade QB for QB, although the first few hundred fans will get to pick from one of the three,” Glover said.
Glover continued:
“Since Stafford no longer plays in Detroit, my feeling was to get the traded-in jersey into the hands of those that would appreciate wearing their quarterback’s name on their back, assuming they are fans of the LA Rams. If they are not fans, I hope it at least makes someone’s day or night a little bit more comfortable.”

2 injured at Great Lakes Crossing shooting
Two injured in shooting at Great Lakes Crossing; suspect in custody. Authorities ask public to avoid the area.
Three people are dead and at least two others wounded after shootings broke out at Metro Detroit shopping malls just eight days apart.
The shootings all involved young adults, ages 19-22, who carried weapons, at least one lawfully.
At Great Lakes Crossing Outlets in Auburn Hills on Saturday, a Pontiac man was killed and a woman injured in the food court after an altercation that occurred in a bathroom rekindled in the food court.
In Dearborn, Cameron Watkins and Keonte Seaborn, both 19 and of Detroit, were killed on July 3 at Fairlane Town Center after a July 3 altercation involving three others.
Keianna Hundley, Keonte’s mother, decried the violence that took her son just two years after he graduated from high school.
“Seeing him walk across the stage with a big smile meant everything to me,” Hundley said. “I don’t wish the pain I feel on any parent.”
Great Lakes Crossing mall shooting Saturday
Auburn Hills police said they were patrolling Great Lakes Crossing Outlets at about 5:20 p.m. when they received reports of shots fired in the food court.
A 22-year-old Detroit man and a 20-year-old Pontiac man had an altercation inside the food court restroom at Great Lakes Crossing Outlets earlier. After 5 p.m. Saturday, the Pontiac man, then with another individual, saw and attacked the Detroit man, who had a license to carry a concealed weapon.
The Detroit man fired on the Pontiac man, killing him and wounding a 19-year-old woman who was not identified, according to Auburn Hills police. The Detroit man was taken into custody and was cooperating with authorities but has not been identified by police.
The shooting sent shoppers scurrying for the exits and the mall was closed for the remainder of the day.

Police update on fatal shooting at Fairlane Mall in Dearborn
Police update on fatal shooting at Fairlane Mall in Dearborn on Friday afternoon, July 3, 2026.
Early in the afternoon of July 3, several young adults were involved in an altercation at the mall.
Prosecutors determined that Watkins and Seaborn both produced weapons.
Watkins shot Seaborn with the weapon he took from the purse of another person linked to the shooting, Cania Cain, and then continued to “shoot recklessly in the public mall,” officials said. A fourth person, Martinez Long, 19, then shot Watkins, prosecutors allege. Long was arraigned Tuesday in Dearborn’s 19th District Court on one count of carrying a concealed weapon.
Watkins’ death was determined to be a shooting in self defense and no charges were authorized for the homicide
The chaos sent shoppers running for the exits, and one person was struck by a vehicle during the scramble to flee, Police Chief Issa Shahin said.
“Senseless gun violence continues to plague communities across the country,” Shahin said earlier this week. “We are saddened by this entirely preventable tragedy but have to reiterate: We will expend all resources to keep our city safe and hold individuals responsible for dangerous behavior.”

DETROIT (AP) — Cristopher Sánchez struck out seven in seven innings, Bryce Harper and J.T. Realmuto doubled and the Philadelphia Phillies ended the Detroit Tigers’ six-game winning streak with a 4-2 victory Saturday night.
The Phillies are 45-25 since snapping a 10-game losing streak April 25 and have the second-highest winning percentage in that span.
Sánchez (11-4) allowed two runs on 10 hits, bouncing back from a career-worst outing against Kansas City. Jonathan Bowlan threw a hitless eighth, and Jhoan Duran had a 1-2-3 ninth for his 24th save.
Trea Turner’s sacrifice fly got the Phillies on the board in the third inning. Derek Hill prevented Zach McKinstry from driving in the tying run with a spectacular diving catch.
Realmuto had a two-run double in the fourth to extend the lead.
The Tigers got one back on Eduardo Valencia’s solo homer in the fifth.
Casey Mize (4-6) worked 5 2/3 innings for Detroit.

A woman died, and a person is in custody, in the aftermath of a two-vehicle crash on Friday evening in Detroit.
An emergency call was placed at 7:39 p.m., reporting the crash at Collingwood and Belleterre streets. The Detroit Police Department said one of the drivers was traveling at a high rate of speed on Collingwood and disregarded a stop sign at the intersection, striking the other vehicle.
The crash killed a woman who is in her 40s and injured a man who is also in his 40s. A medical condition was not available for the injured man.
The Detroit Police Department said a suspect is in custody and they are continuing to investigate.
