NFL

The Packers have already begun to make changes, after their playoff loss to the 49ers last weekend. After three seasons, Joe Barry will not return as the team’s defensive coordinator. And, there will be some competition for the kicking job. Green Bay has signed former Georgia kicker Jack Podlesny, who was drafted last year by the Vikings, who released him early on.

With a college football national championship trophy finally on his mantle, Jim Harbaugh didn’t wait long to move on from the University of Michigan. Saying he will “always be a loyal Wolverine,” Harbaugh was introduced yesterday as the new head coach of the Los Angeles Chargers.

MLB

The Tigers have added some pitching depth by signing veteran reliever Drew Anderson to a minor-league contract. Anderson had brief call-ups with the Phillies, White Sox and Rangers, before spending the last couple of seasons in Japan.
