The first week of Detroit Lions training camp is in the books. At least, the portion of camp that the media was allowed to attend.
I’ve got to say it was the closest thing to a normal sporting event I’ve attended. There were players hitting each other in padded practices, coaches yelling, players laughing and music blaring.
It was so normal that it was almost easy to forget all the reporters were wearing masks, separated into two bleachers about 50 yards apart.
On the first day, one reporter in my bleacher looked over at the other bleacher and asked me to ID an unfamiliar reporter.
