PHILADELPHIA -- Jim Schwartz was triumphantly carried off the field the first time he returned to Detroit after being fired.Hell walk or jog this time.Schwartz meets his former team when the Philadelphia Eagles (3-0) visit the Lions (1-3) on Sunday. The defensive coordinator holds no grudges.I think you guys would probably be surprised how much I root for the Lions, Schwartz said Thursday. As long as its not in direct conflict with the Eagles, I want those guys to win every week. Ive got too much blood and sweat in that building, and theres a lot of guys there that mean an awful lot to me.Schwartz took over the Lions in 2009, a year after they finished 0-16. His first draft class included quarterback Matthew Stafford, tight end Brandon Pettigrew and linebacker DeAndre Levy.I want those guys to succeed, Schwartz said. Im going to do my very best to try to beat them, but I think everybody would be surprised how much you have relationships that just dont go away when you leave or a player leaves. Those guys have had my back when I coached there, and Ive had their back, and Im sure thatll continue. Not this Sunday, though.Schwartz led the Lions to 10 wins and their first playoff berth in 12 years in 2011. But he was fired after going 7-9 in 2013. He was Buffalos defensive coordinator in 2014 when the Bills beat Detroit 17-14 at Ford Field. That was an emotional return for Schwartz, who got to ride off on the shoulders of two players.Its all business this time.Ive been there, done that, Schwartz said. I think that (game) was probably a little bit different in that I probably had about 10 coaches that worked for me that were still on the staff. I mean, most of the team had played for me. Sure, thats going to be emotional. Youre not a human being if its not.The surprising Eagles are aiming to stay undefeated and Schwartzs defense is a big reason for the teams success. Schwartz has engineered a dramatic turnaround. A unit that ranked in the bottom five each of the past three seasons is third in total yards allowed and has given up just three touchdowns and two field goals in three games.Schwartz was given full control of the defense after coach Doug Pederson hired him in January. The Eagles brought in a few of his former players and made other moves to add talent.I dont think this was the worst defense in the NFL last year, but situation that came up, their numbers werent very good, Schwartz said. I think having an infusion of some new guys helped move them past that a little bit.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Rob Maaddi on Twitter: https://twitter.com/AP-RobMaaddiSF Air Force 1 High Nz .

Cundiff, who had the unenviable job of replacing Dawson last season, agreed Thursday to a one-year, $1.SAN DIEGO -- I owe an apology to the Padres, their employees, their fans, and to the city of San Diego.Specifically, I owe an apology to a particular Petco Park staffer, who was simply doing his job, pushing a cart along a concourse, to whom I became an obstacle and an unpredictable annoyance.Why? I was playing Pokémon Go, trying to catch those pesky creatures in the confines of this years MLB All-Star festivities. Call it Petco Park Pokémon -- and call me a jerk for having no idea that said employee was desperately slaloming in a vain attempt to get around me as I stared at my cell phone, head down, hunting away.Im way too old to truly understand how to play Pokémon Go -- or why youd play it -- but I adore augmented reality and by the end of Monday afternoon I had actually managed to catch a few of them -- three to be exact, so not exactly cattching them all, I realize -- including one little bugger hovering over the playing field just before the start of the Home Run Derby.ddddddddddddI shot Pokéballs at it -- most of which landed on the field and rolled toward the outfield walls (kind of how I might do, best-case-scenario, if I were to participate in the Home Run Derby myself). After several misses, I finally nabbed him, saving the Petco Park crowd from the scourge of an angry, airborne blue and purple Zubat.And the Home Run Derby could begin at last.So maybe -- and yes, I know this is a stretch -- I dont owe any apologies, but instead deserve a debt of gratitude.As you laugh at (and not with) me, check out the following screen grabs from my adventures: ' ' '
