09.22.2014 AFC Daily News Clips – morning edition

Good morning:

It’s officially the last day of summer, soak it up while you can.  This is the last full week of our #41Days initiative, thanks to everyone for their help promoting each and every individual program. And, my beloved Tigers continue to hold onto their 1st place spot in the AL Central and move closer to the playoffs.
Hope everyone has a great Monday!
Matt
