The Lions announced the signing of three backups today.
Signed were offensive guard Stephen Peterman and defensive tackle Langston Moore. I’m sure your reaction was the same as mine, “Big damn deal.”
Peterman is a depth for the O-line, a guy who won’t hurt you too much if he needs to be inserted in place of an [...]

1. Today I learned Sport Illustrated’s NFL guru, Peter King, is batshit crazy. What makes me think King is off his rocker? This…
If Ryan is sitting there at six or seven, I expect Detroit, Carolina and Chicago to inquire about trading up.
Making a move to get Ryan, who is far from a sure thing, would [...]

As you may have noticed by the logo residing in my sidebar, Detroit’s sports talk powerhouse, WDFN sports radio 1130, The Fan, has joined forces with SideLion Report (along with my Detroit sports blog, The Wayne Fontes Experience) as a promotional partner.
Some of my Detroit Lions diatribes will be featured at WDFN.com, while I’ll link [...]

A few thoughts regarding Detroit Lions news bites from the past few days…
1. Online sports book BetUS has set their odds as to who will win next season’s Super Bowl. Just what are the odds for the Detroit Lions? They are given a “It’ll be a snowy day in Hell” shot, going off at the [...]

The Lions have over $15 million in salary cap “dead money” being paid to 13 former players. When asked about this, all Matt Millen could say was, “Whoops!”

According to Mlive’s Killer Kowalski, the [...]
