Martin Truex Jr. Caution Controversy: NASCAR Insider Questions the Call at Michigan
Martin Truex Jr. Caution Controversy: The recent caution issued for Martin Truex Jr. during the FireKeepers Casino 400 at Michigan has ignited a critical discourse among NASCAR insiders, particularly regarding the apparent inconsistency in officiating standards. Analysts such as Jeff Gluck and Jordan Bianchi have pointed out noticeable contrasts between Truex Jr.‘s minor wall contact and Austin Cindric‘s more substantial incident, which went unpunished.

Lions place 2 players on I.R., officially add LB Joel Iyiegbuniwe
A day after the addition was known to be coming, the Detroit Lions made it official. The team signed free agent linebacker Joel Iyiegbuniwe to a one-year contract ahead of the Lions’ final preseason game. Iyiegbuniwe has years of considerable special teams experience in the NFL, though the one-time Bears fourth-round pick has barely played on defense in his six years in the league. He fills the roster spot of linebacker Malik Jefferson, who was one of two players the Lions placed on injured reserve. Jefferson and veteran wideout Tre’Quan Smith had their Lions seasons ended with the move to I.R. Detroit also reached injury settlements with two undrafted rookies who were previously waived, DB Morice Norris and LB DaRon Gilbert.

Did you know you can check the safety history of your child’s school bus?
LANSING - With the start of a new school year, Michigan State Police are reminding parents and guardians that they have the ability to check the safety records of all school buses in Michigan. As part of Michigan’s School Bus Inspection Program, all public, private, denominational, parochial, charter school and public-school academy vehicles taking children to or from school, or school-related events by law must be inspected annually by a member of the MSP Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Division. ”Anyone with a smart phone can scan a QR code displayed on the bus service door where students enter the bus,” said Col. James F. Grady II, director of the MSP. “Every parent or guardian has instant access to the condition of the vehicle transporting your student.” Once inspected, a bright green sticker showing the MSP shield and school calendar year is placed on the front windshield of the bus. Inspection results are then available to anyone by scanning the QR code displayed on the bus service door where students enter the bus.

Is This Anonymous Tool Making Michigan Schools Safer?
For as long as I can remember the rule on the street was "snitches get stitches" and there are plenty of movies, shows, and real-life examples of this phrase being a way of life for some people. Also, for a long time, the idea of minding your own business was considered the right thing to do because you don't worry about things that have nothing to do with you. Eventually, this was combated by the ideology that speaking up and helping someone out who needs it, is the humane thing to do.
