As we already pretty much know whom the Lions will be going into the season with as their QB’s (barring a surprise signing of a veteran backup), it felt like a good time do go over the pros and cons of each man under center. Check out the good, bad and ugly, the yin and [...]

…The Detroit Lions continued on with their workout drudgery, exacerbated by an extra long week of practice. 9 days between games in the exhibition season seems a bit much, don’t you think? What in the Hell is the NFL thinking?
How could I forget, they’re thinking about all the money they can extort from their fans [...]

The big story in the sports blogosphere today has nothing to do with the the Detroit Lions (yeah, right), the NFL, MLB, Olympics or even the police blotter. Instead, we’ve been overrun with Madden-Mania.

I think Marinelli has more [...]

Not much up in Lions-land today, but there are couple of news nuggets.
Ben Curtis, wearing the Lions’ colors of Honolulu Blue and Silver (and quite a bit of black), is leading the PGA Championship by a stroke going into the 4th and final round:
I know what you’re thinking, “Why on earth would a PGA [...]

…the Detroit Lions made several personnel moves today.
The worst news was in regard to CB Stanley Wilson, who was “waived injured” (once he clears waivers, Wilson will then go on the Lions’ IR), and declared out for the season with a torn Achilles tendon in his left foot. After seeing him gingerly helped off the [...]

After every Detroit Lions game, once the dust has settled, I like to comment on the blatherings coming from the MSM.
