FOX 2 – The Lions have one more preseason game before the new season – and kick off for the first time at Ford Field.
On Saturday the Lions host the Pittsburgh Steelers at 1 p.m. with it being the last chance for those on the roster bubble to state their case for a permanent spot.
While many of the starters are likely to be on the sideline, there are position battles to keep an eye on, including at quarterback. Nate Sudfeld and Hendon Hooker are both vying for the role backing up Jared Goff – but recently there have been hints the team might keep all three.
At running back Sione Vaki – who played mostly safety in college and dabbled on offense, is being used at tailback. The fourth round rookie has shown flashes but is looking to prove his worth beyond just special teams.
Other spots all eyes will be on include the reconstructed defensive backfield and whether former UFL star Jake Bates can continue to impress at kicker.
Bates became a star with the Michigan Panthers and has impressed – including hitting the winning field goal against the Chiefs in the second preseason game.

Detroit Tigers Star Received Incredible Gesture from Chicago Cubs in Return
![Detroit Tigers Star Received Incredible Gesture from Chicago Cubs in Return Detroit Tigers Star Received Incredible Gesture from Chicago Cubs in Return](https://images2.minutemediacdn.com/image/upload/c_crop,w_5136,h_2889,x_0,y_135/c_fill,w_1440,ar_16:9,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto/images/ImagnImages/mmsport/tigers_baseball_report/01j5s5nm37872j4hg401.jpg)
Javier Baez returned to Wrigley Field on Tuesday night for the first time since the 2021 trade. It’s a special moment for him as he’s among one of the most important players in Chicago Cubs history.
The current Detroit Tigers shortstop hasn’t found similar success since leaving the team, but what he did with the Cubs was second to none. There was a part of his career when he looked like arguably the best shortstop in Major League Baseball, and he played a big part in them winning the World Series in 2016, breaking one of the biggest droughts in professional sports history.
Chicago honored him in many ways during his first game back, including a name above his locker, a tribute video, and more.
It’s well-earned, given the success he found there.

Baez told reporters, including Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune, that he still thinks about the 2016 World Series run.
“That’s one of the things that no one will take from you. You’re always going to be a champion here.”
A two-time All-Star, Gold Glove Award winner, Silver Slugger, and NLCS MVP, it’s easy to see why the Cubs welcomed him back with open arms. They decided to head in a different direction from him because of the situation the team was in, not because of his play.
Before being traded, he had some impressive campaigns.
In 2018, he finished with 34 home runs, 111 RBI, and slashed .290/.326/.554 with an OPS+ of 129.
While his time with the Tigers hasn’t seen him do half of what he did in Chicago, perhaps that player is still there. He’s shown signs of improvement throughout the past month, which is very positive for Detroit as they move forward.
It hasn’t exactly been sunshine and rainbows throughout the past month, but he’s starting to figure it out a bit at the plate. Considering he’s under contract until the end of the 2027 season, they’ll need him to get back on track.
It’s important that the Cubs are showing him this type of love, too. Many around the game seem to forget how good he truly was. The contract situation makes his lack of production a bit tougher on him for many reasons, but that doesn’t take away from what he did for Chicago and their fan base.
Hopefully, he can show those fans what they’re missing and produce for the Tigers as they look to get a massive series win against a beatable Cubs team.

Yelp ranked the 100 top pizzerias in the Midwest and this Detroit-area business is No. 1
![Yelp ranked the 100 top pizzerias in the Midwest and this Detroit-area business is No. 1 Yelp ranked the 100 top pizzerias in the Midwest and this Detroit-area business is No. 1](https://www.gannett-cdn.com/authoring/authoring-images/2024/08/19/PDTN/74857497007-louis-pizza.jpg?auto=webp&crop=1426,802,x3,y624&format=pjpg&width=1200)
The Yelpers got it right.
The social media site for business reviews compiled a list of the “top 100 pizza spots in the Midwest.” Of those 100 places, Michigan and Illinois had the best representation with 16 entries each on the list. It was a historic Hazel Park restaurant, however, that took the No. 1 spot.
Yelp’s data team analyzed user ratings and review volume to determine the rankings, which put Loui’s Pizza at the top. The mom-and-pop pizzeria has been on Dequindre just north of E. Nine Mile since 1977, but the story doesn’t start there.
Founder and chef Louis Tourtois — who was once called “the king of pizzas” by The Detroit News in the 1970s — was the pizza maker at the original Buddy’s Pizza before branching out to his own restaurant, Loui’s, which is still run by his descendants today. Tourtois was in the kitchen at Buddy’s when the pizzeria won its first contest, a taste-test of Detroit pizza conducted by The Detroit News in 1970.
The pizza at Loui’s has been made the same way for decades, with a crispy crust, a perfect amount of red sauce on top and pepperoni tucked underneath a boatload of cheese all cooked at a high temperature. Besides Detroit-style pizza, Loui’s serves burgers, pasta dishes and antipasto salads packed with Italian meats and cheese in a dining room that still looks like it’s from the ’70s.
The other Detroit-area pizzerias that made the top 50 of Yelp’s list are Pie Sci in Woodbridge and Oak Park at No. 14 and Fredi the PizzaMan in Melvindale at No. 23. The back half of the list includes Major Tomato in Allen Park at No. 55, Buddy’s Pizza in Detroit at No. 69, Corktown’s Grandma Bob’s at No. 74, Foggia’s Pizzeria in Southfield at No. 75 and Pizzeria Bistro and Antoniou’s Towne Square Pizza, both in Rochester Hills, at No. 78 and 79, respectively.
