In one of life’s weird conundrums, the Detroit Lions stumblebum of a GM, Matt Millen, is a member of the NFL’s “Competition Committee.” If there is a less competitive GM in the NFL, I dare you to name him. Yet somehow, someway, the porn ’stached goon is a member in good standing of [...]

Over the last day, the only actual news from the Lions was word of another free agent signing. An extremely minor free agent signing. They inked linebacker Alfred Fincher, who had spent his entire career, all 3 years of it, with the New Orleans Saints.
I’m assuming this was a signing aimed at shoring up the [...]

On Tuesday, the Lions signed free agent linebacker Gilbert Gardner, who played with the Titans in 2007.
Though the Lions do need a linebacker or three, this signing is strictly a move to help shore up Detroit’s awful special teams. Gardner is a career backup as a linebacker, but has made a name for himself on [...]

In what is quickly turning into a continuing series here at SideLion Report, today we read between the lines with the Lions number one wide receiver, Roy Williams. The diva wide out, going into the final year of his contract, spoke with the Detroit media.
Just as we have with the porn ’stached goon, Mike Martz [...]

Denver’s Champ Bailey went to bat for his brother Boss Bailey today, dissing the Lions with the following statement…
“They didn’t use him right in Detroit,” Champ Bailey said. “We’re going to use him right here. I’ll make sure of that.”
Let me get a few things off my chest in regard to Champ’s derogatory comment.
1. Champ [...]

The latest member of the Detroit Lions to speak to the media is new offensive coordinator Jim Colletto. He gave his thoughts on several pressing issues, such as what positions the Lions may target early in the draft, why Kevin Jones was cut, and what to expect in 2008 from Drew Stanton, George Foster and [...]

At Mlive today, Lions beat writer Killer Kowalski let loose with this disturbing nugget of wisdom.
Look for the Lions to pursue a middle backer later in the draft and let him learn for a year behind a veteran. One possibility is Oklahoma’s Curtis Lofton in the second round because he appears to have the [...]

Rumors were flying late Friday afternoon regarding the Lions and Pacman Jones. According to Jones’ agent, 3 teams were interested in the controversial cornerback, one being Detroit. The Lions have denied having much interest, as they have looked into the Pacman “situation,” and decided against going further.
But when you are talking about someone as talented [...]

I brought up the cannibalistic tendencies of Chuck Darcy yesterday. But he’s not the only one who’s been speaking. Over the past week, other Detroit Lions have spoken out about one thing or another. Some of it contradictory…
QB in waiting Drew Stanton had kind words for Mike Martz.
“The big thing is that I learned a [...]

When introduced to the Detroit media yesterday, the Lions new defensive tackle “war-daddy,” Chuck Darby, regaled to all his favorite meal.
“A war-daddy is a man who comes in with his sword, any given time, every game,” Darby said. “I believe in eating hearts, and I believe in everybody around me. That’s what D-linemen do. D-linemen [...]
