Caldwell focused on football during Indy homecoming

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) Jim Caldwell skipped the homecoming parade Thursday and got right to work.

With the first of two joint practices in Indianapolis before Sunday’s preseason opener, the Detroit Lions coach didn’t have time to shake hands, recount stories or reminisce about the decade he spent on these very same fields. Besides, it’s not his style.

“Most people will tell you I’m not that nostalgic,” Caldwell said. “Obviously, I spent 10 years here and I certainly have some good memories. We won a lot of football games, had a lot of good teams.”
