Detroit Lions camp all business: 'We don't got time for fights'

It’s been a quiet training camp for the Lions. Almost too quiet.

No fights. Hardly any scuffles. Even on Saturday, during the hottest day of the team’s eight days of practice, nothing.

No fights. No punches. No pushing. No squabbles or scrums.

Just football. All business, all the time.

“If there’s a fight it’s going to take away from what we need to do,” veteran defensive tackle Ricky Jean Francois said. “We need to learn a new defense. I understand it’s hot out here. We’re too tired. It’s too hot out here to be hitting somebody else.
