FMIA Week 10: Rams Manage Win After Fire-Filled Week of ‘Horror’
Getty Images When the door to the Rams’ locker room slammed shut late Sunday afternoon, there were three people not accustomed to being there on the edge of the crowd of players, coaches and football staffers. In the middle, as usual, was coach Sean McVay. On this day, he talked emotionally about the 36-31 win over Seattle. But he saved his most genuine, heartfelt words for people who are foreign to headlines. McVay said he was giving out four game balls. “Sophie Luoto and Kristen Lee!” McVay tossed each a ball. “Bruce Warwick and Kate Kost!” McVay tossed Warwick a ball. Kost, in Colorado advancing the Rams’ trip to practice there this week, in advance of their game in Mexico City next week, will get hers this week. All four work in football administration and operations for the Rams. When approximately 90 players and staffers of the Rams were evacuated from their homes because of the California wildfires that came within three miles of their … [Read more...] about FMIA Week 10: Rams Manage Win After Fire-Filled Week of ‘Horror’

Grubhub, Uber Eats, Postmates boost sales in Detroit, bite into profits
Breana Noble The Detroit News Published 10:58 PM EDT Sep 16, 2018 A Royal Oak resident craving some spicy buffalo wings can't go to MI Wings Co. because it doesn't have its own restaurant. Instead, customers order from Uber Eats, the app-based restaurant delivery business powered by ride-hailing company Uber. MI Wings Co. is one of three "virtual restaurants" that have operated from Milan Pizzeria's kitchen in downtown Royal Oak since July and can only be found on the Uber Eats app. Metro Detroit has 10 virtual restaurants. Now, sales at the pizzeria are up more than 35 percent. The restaurant is buying ingredients from its supplier five days a week instead of three and has hired two new staff members. Plus, it is exploring opening a fourth virtual restaurant for Italian food. "We're being able to turn our restaurant into a kitchen," said Rahim Ali, a partner of Milan's Pizzeria. "Instead of me opening a new restaurant, taking on the risk, I can make a burger or wings … [Read more...] about Grubhub, Uber Eats, Postmates boost sales in Detroit, bite into profits
