ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- Jim Caldwell launched into a story. He’s been known to do this now and again during his tenure as coach of the Detroit Lions, particularly when he’s trying to explain a point or why he believes a certain thing.
On Monday, he began telling a tale about a golfer at Whistling Straits who was on a run. Then the golfer in Caldwell’s story caught a peek at a few holes ahead and started to envision playing that hole. And his game fell apart as he lost focus.
Caldwell didn’t name the golfer.
