    Warner will be in, I have no doubt about it. As far as the Lions go, while I agree getting a good LT would be nice, the problem is Backus. You can't move him to Guard, he would get plowed there, and you can't move him to RT since Gosder Cherilus is there and shows good potential. You can't...

    I look at Fitz and see what Calvin Johnson will be in another year or two. They will probably be 1-2-3 in the league with Andre Johnson for the next few years. I mean, come on, look at Calvins numbers this year, tied for the league lead in TD's, fourth or fifth most yards, with who as his qb in...

    Best halftime ever? Really? I respect Springsteen, and he had some good intesity, but he just doesn't sing well, IMHO. While everyone gave Prince a hard time about the whole shadow incident, I haven't heard anything about Bruce's mic between the legs while bending backwards opening. It was a...

    IMHO the Lions should take Andre Smith OT with the first pick. If he is there Maaulaga or however you spell his name with the #20 pick, then another LB with the first pick in the second round. If they are going to take a QB I really think they should take the kid from Ball St. in the third or...

    It could happen to them though. Look at Arizona. If they don't give us hope, nothing will.

    I really like the Lions hire, and the staff he is assembling is pretty good. Gunther Cunningham as DC I think is good. Yes KC had the second worse defense last year, but since Herm Edwards was the coach he made them run the Tampa 2 without the proper personnel and that is not Cunningham's style...

    It matters not. Mr. Ford stated today that he is keeping current GM Mayhew, and COO Tom Lewand, both from the Millen regime. That means no Pioli, no Cower. The only thing we as Lions fans have to look forward to is the 11' lockout that will surely come.

    Urban Meyer, blech, IMO. He runs that stupid spread offense that has been tried, Steve Spurrier, and failed, and Tebow can't throw the football downfield at all. Of course everyone is entitled to their opinion and I really don't even know who they should get, but they should build from both...

    I hope you guys realize that as long as, and it may not be much longer, Ford Motor Company is in business, the Thanksgiving day game will never leave Detroit. Ford is THE largest sponsor of the NFL and old man Ford has already told them, pull turkey day game and I pull sponsorship. That is also...

    The Lions won't be leaving Detroit any time soon and Sharp can be a tool sometimes. Ford is THE #1 sponsor of the NFL and WCF Sr. has a net worth of 1.2 billion himself, not even considering his son who will soon take over the Lions. We are very lucky here in Detroit to have the teams we do, yes...

    I Calvin Johnson had his man beat all day long and they just ignored him. He is one player that can honestly make plays for them like no other. I can only imagine what he could do in even an average offensive system.

    Yes that is wrong, it will be Stanton. He has been taking 50% of the first team snaps.

    The Lions absolutely fleeced the Cowboys on this deal. Jerry Jones was desperate for some sort of positive publicity after the Pacman Jones deal and everything else that has happened. Dallas has worked out a five year deal with Williams for between 8-9 million a year. Watch him go down there and...

    Scott, per Tom Kowalski "According to a source close to the situation, the Lions are expected to ask the NFL for help in putting together a list of qualified candidates for the general manager's position.

    The Fords are doing something that they have never done before. They are going to the NFL for help on selecting a new GM and President. The NFL has a comittee set up for such a purpose. This group helped the Giants a few years ago, helped Atlanta with their new GM and helped the Bengals a while...

    Millen has been fired! Finally!!!!!!!!!!! Many years too late, but it is done. It means nothing for this year, but anything is better at this point.

    The Lions, LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLLOLOLOLOLOLOL. Thats all I have to say about that. Short of bringing in Bill Cower to run it and coach it, there is nothing that can save this team until Senior kicks it.

    Hey Scott, I tortured myself and went to the Lions game yesterday. They were getting crushed and we were about to leave when the Lions made that miracle comeback to take the lead. Of course we all know what happened, but at that point we left and it was a steady down pour for the half mile walk...
