Earlier this week, Goff and the Lions signed a 4 year, $212 Million contract extension. Jared Goff will need a Michigan crib and he has the money for a nice one.

Michigan Residents May Lose Power Less, Thanks To New Consumers Energy Devices
One of the worst things about Michigan weather is that during really bad storms whether they be through rain and wind or snow and ice, it doesn’t take much for us to lose energy, and that’s where Consumers step in. Consumers Energy is constantly overwhelmed with outages, but from my experience, has always done a good job of getting power back to my house before the estimated time of arrival.

Michigan is Home to One of the Biggest Houses in America
No, I'm not talking about The Big House. Michigan Stadium might be one of the largest buildings in Michigan, but it doesn't exactly make for a good home - unless you're a Wolverine. No, this place was once actually a house. But, like Michigan Stadium, this building holds a tremendous...

Ohio Is The 3rd Cheapest State To Watch Professional Sports
Many of us spend countless hours of our lives parked in front of a television, tablet, phone, or laptop/desktop screen watching one of the many sporting events that come on in a year. Whether it is in the comfort of your own home, at work, or at a sports bar, one of the most relaxing and enjoyable things for many of us is watching our favorite sport/team go to battle. Although watching on TV can be enjoyable, there's nothing like being there in person.
Michigan Families Should Know About Destination Pass Offered At Detroit Metro Airport
