You could have the best coaching staff in the universe, but they can't get wins if the talent sucks. And our talent sucks. Like I mentioned prior, we are an expansion team right now. We have Calvin Johnson and two 1st round picks. I want to know who is going to do the grocery shopping, that is my primary concern because I have such little faith in the Lions ability to draft. Was this completely the Matt Millen show for the last 8 years? I'm to believe that Mayhew hadn't a single word of input in the process? We'll see in April, up until then all we can do is speculate (and you better believe we will!).

3 top 10 draft picks confessed to smoking weed, including Calvin Johnson. Still, they are now all millionaires.
Hey guys, what's up in the yard this morning? I have to say that I am a very tired man today. The Mann Cup ended Tuesday night with a 9-6 win over New West, and the bumps, bruises and partying is taking its toll today!!! It sure was the crowing moment of an unforgettable summer for me. It is time for me to start teaching, and recover for a little while?my body needs a rest, as...

Some recommendations to the Detroit Lions to add to Calvin Johnson's contract (humor).
When I was maybe 13, my Mom found an "adult" magazine under my bed. She rambled on and on about responsibility and how there's more to life than girls and blah blah blah, were you saying something, Mom? Times have changed, and today my responsibilities include being at Hooters for hours on end. How's that for irony?
Truth is, I wouldn't have minded sleeping...
It's been a busy week for me. I worked out with the team Thursday morning at 7:30 and then had a flight at noon to Miami to attend a Jay Fiedler charity event that raised money for CF (Cystic Fibrosis). Then I got on a plane to Louisiana to celebrate my birthday. I spent a lot of time on the plane thinking about the upcoming draft.
The draft is intense for...

ESPN's John Clayton is reporting that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are leaning towards trading up to the No. 2 pick to get Georgia Tech wide receiver Calvin Johnson. Apparently the Bucs, who currently hold the No. 4 pick, are concerned that other teams may try to jump ahead of them to snag Johnson, who is widely regarded as a sure-fire star and the draft's top player. Tampa Bay coach...

NFL.com’s Adam Schefter seems to feel that defensive lineman Cliff Avril is one of three players on the Lions roster that won’t be going anywhere. The other two being Calvin Johnson and Ernie Sims. “None of those guys is going anywhere. Jim Schwartz needs some building blocks and those are his three best ones. But [...]
Hey guys, figured I better get in here and write a quick update and let everyone know I am still alive!! There's not really much to write about. After Russia I spent a week on the couch being sick, so I decided to do a fantasy draft on Madden 09'. I felt I did ok in the draft. I used the Falcons team because I think they have the best looking uniforms!! From there I...

From: MLive
Lions Receiver Calvin Johnson, after missing one day with a thigh injury, returned to practice on Thursday and will start Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Receiver Mike Furrey, who was sidelined last week after suffering a concussion against Jacksonville, went through some individual drills but it's unlikely he'll play. Center Dominic Raiola didn't [...]

The easiest thing to do is laugh. To mock. To roll your eyes. To go searching for Kool-Aid mustaches on their lips.
In recent fits of boosterism and bravado, undaunted by the pearls of history's wisdom, Lions quarterback Jon Kitna and receiver Mike Furrey have put quantitative labels on their expectations for their football team this autumn.
"I think we can win 10...

It just got tied. Calvin Johnson is making it not ugly. That jerk.But let's be honest, Aaron Rouse and Scott Wells got hurt. Luck does have something to do with this mess that the Packers are in. That and the fact that the Packers are dropping balls like a pubescent boy.Though Jermichael Finley ...
