Detroit — Matt Shepard, widely considered the hardest-working person in Michigan broadcasting, enjoyed some odd down time this week.

With Fox Sports Detroit unveiling its new "Players-only" broadcasts of Tigers games, Shepard spent a couple days this week being a dad and a husband. He watched his son play lacrosse. He watched his daughter play lacrosse. He accompanied his on-the-mend wife to a doctor's appointment — "I still can't believe you're alive," the doctor keeps saying of the head-on car accident Lisa was involved in back in early January. He went to the dentist.
