January, he said he had zero tolerance for two things: domestic violence and gun
issues. On Monday morning, the Lions signed tight end Andrew Quarless, who is on
probation for firing a gun in public in Miami Beach on July 4, 2015.Quinn
released a statement with the signing, acknowledging that Quarless has a
two-game suspension at the start of the regular season, should he make the
roster.We are aware of the upcoming NFL suspension of Andrew Quarless, Quinn
said in the statement. We have thoroughly researched the incident that caused
the suspension and have talked at length with Andrew about this. Andrew has been
forthright and honest about the situation and he has gone through the process
within the legal system.As an organization we are comfortable with adding Andrew
to the roster and look forward to seeing him compete for the rest of the
preseason.Lions head coach Jim Caldwell, when asked about Detroits
zero-tolerance policy for domestic violence and dangerous weapons, said he
believes in second chances and that the franchise did their diligence on
Quarless before signing him. Unlike his boss, he did not come across as concrete
about zero tolerance.Every case is different, Caldwell said. You have to look at
every single case on its own and you take a look at that and make a decision. I
dont think it can ever be just simply black and white.When asked what
characteristics make Caldwell -- and theoretically the Lions -- give a guy a
second chance, Caldwell wouldnt go into specifics.Everybodys different, Caldwell
said. These arent clones out there. These are people that have issues, and the
thing about it is oftentimes people look to, particularly in this day and age,
look to just completely get rid of people. Sometimes they heal in the broken
places.You might not understand that, but I think most of us in this sport
do.The Lions said earlier Monday that Quinn would not address reporters after
practice. It was Quinn, not Caldwell, who mentioned the zero-tolerance policy in
January.Quarless said Monday he spoke with Quinn and Caldwell, among others,
before signing with the Lions and that all the conversations he had with the
franchise were genuine and truthful. He wouldnt get into specifics of the
conversations, but said he felt like the Lions got a good sense of the person he
is.When asked what people should know about the incident, he said people
shouldnt rush to judge.You could judge anybody, you know, Quarless said. First,
you got to look in the mirror first, you know what Im saying, before you judge
somebody. Its something I moved forward from and Ive taken the steps to move
forward progressively, and Im just looking forward to being part of this
organization.Quarless was sentenced to one year of probation and given a $1,000
fine after pleading no contest in November. He also had to attend an anger
management course and a weapons safety course, and he had to forfeit his gun.He
had four catches for 31 yards in five games for the?Green Bay Packers?last
season. In 2014, his last full season, he had 29 catches for 323 yards and three
touchdowns. Quarless, who went to Penn State, was a fifth-round draft pick by
Green Bay in 2010.The Lions are thin at tight end, with Eric Ebron recovering
from an ankle injury, Brandon Pettigrew on the physically unable to perform list
coming back from a torn ACL and Tim Wright on injured reserve.Detroit waived
tight end Ben McCord to make room for Quarless.The Lions also placed wide
receiver Andre Caldwell on injured reserve and signed linebacker Dominique
Tovell. Caldwell sat out the last week of practice due to an undisclosed injury.

. Vettel, who has already clinched his fourth straight F1 title, enters the
finale with a chance to equal Michael Schumachers 13 victories in a year and
match the record of nine consecutive wins by Alberto Ascari in the 1952 and 1953
seasons. SAN DIEGO -- With his 19th home run, Wil Myers is playing so well that
his manager expects him to be San Diegos representative in the All-Star Game at
Petco Park on July 12.And then theres 28-year-old rookie Ryan Schimpf, who hit
his first big league home run Friday night, when the San Diego Padres avoided a
total bullpen meltdown to hold off the New York Yankees 7-6.It felt good to get
it out of there for sure, said Schimpf, who played 733 minor league games before
getting his first big league call-up on June 14.He homered to right-center
leading off the second inning.Its kind of always been my game, I guess, ever
since I was little, said Schimpf, who hit 15 homers in 51 games at Triple-A
before being called up. Kind of a big-swing guy trying to drive the ball every
time. Thats just kind of how Ive always been, but obviously I dont want to be
big swing, big miss. I want to go up there and put together a good at-bat and
hit the ball hard.Said manager Andy Green: It was fun to see. ... Theres a lot
of positives to pull from it and hes going to continue to get
opportunities.Colin Rea (5-3) pitched six strong innings for the Padres, who
snapped a three-game losing streak and handed the Yankees their fourth loss in
six games. The righty held New York to two runs, one earned, and four hits while
striking out five and walking one.The Padres, who traded closer Fernando Rodney
to Miami on Thursday, then gave up four runs in the ninth.After Matt Thornton
allowed pinch-hitter Alex Rodriguezs RBI single that pulled the Yankees to 7-3,
Brandon Maurer came on with two on and none out in the ninth. He allowed Didi
Gregorius RBI double and Aaron Hicks RBI groundout before his wild pitch brought
in another run. Pinch-hitter Carlos Beltran doubled and advanced on Jacoby
Ellsburys groundout before Maurer got Brett Gardner to ground out to earn his
first save.Myers didnt slow down even though the calendar has turned to July. He
had 11 homers, 33 RBI and 21 extra-base hits iin June.ddddddddddddMyers hit a
two-run, opposite-field shot to right off Nathan Eovaldi in the fifth. Travis
Jankowski was aboard on a leadoff single.I wasnt too worried about the calendar
flipping, Green said. I felt pretty good about where his swing was and what he
feels like, takes his walk, steals a base, homers. Its what hes been doing for a
while now, so he better be an All-Star.New Yorks Brian McCann homered with one
out in the sixth off Rea, his 13th.The Padres jumped on Eovaldi for three runs
in the first, on an RBI single by Melvin Upton Jr. and Derek Norris two-run
double.Ellsbury hit an RBI single for the Yankees in the second.Eovaldi (6-6)
lost his fourth straight start, allowing six runs and seven hits in 4 1/3
innings, struck out two and walked three.`Hes got good stuff but consistently he
has to locate or hes going to get hit, manager Joe Girardi said. He had two outs
and he didnt make pitches.Said Eovaldi: Ive got to do a better job of being able
to locate my pitches in big situations.THE SPLENDID SPLINTERThe Padres inducted
San Diego native Ted Williams into their Hall of Fame, which opened earlier
Friday. Williams, who attended Hoover High, played for the Padres of the Pacific
Coast League in 1936 and 1937 before being sold to the Boston Red Sox. San Diego
didnt get a major league franchise until 1969. Williams became good friends with
Tony Gwynn in the 1990s.TRAINERS ROOMYankees: Beltran didnt start because of a
tight right hamstring.Padres: RHP Erik Johnson was placed on the 15-day disabled
list, retroactive to Wednesday, with a right elbow sprain. Manager Andy Green
