Martin Mayhew on Stanton, Hanson, pregame fight

Lions general manager Martin Mayhew just gave his thoughts on Saturday night's 27-10 exhibition loss at Cleveland, plus a few other matters. Here is what he had to say about subjects not named Matthew Stafford: •Mayhew didn't jump into the lake after the game. "I thought it was sort of up and down," Mayhew said.

The Curse of Eddie Drummond

We all saw it Saturday. Cleveland's Josh Cribbs took the opening kickoff, juked out three guys and ended in Detroit end zone. Only to have it called back on a holding penalty. Not to be deterred, the next time Cribbs touched the ball he found the end zone again. This time it was a punt return. After yelling profanities at the whole special teams unit for not making a tackle,...

Tough not to root for veteran Dane Looker

OK, how do you not root for savvy veteran receiver Dane Looker to make the team? Sorry, but the dude just oozes professionalism. After the Lions signed him last week, Looker made sure to be at his locker on Monday in order to meet reporters. He was prepared with an anecdote about contemplating the meaning of life as he built a deck around his hot tub in Seattle when the Lions called...

Meet the New Lions, Same as the Old Lions

Report: Shaun Smith chews out Browns G.M.

Former Browns defensive tackle Shaun Smith largely lost his job in Cleveland for his inability to keep his mouth shut. (And his fists off Brady Quinn's magazine cover-worthy face.)Now with the Lions, Smith isn't done yapping inappropriately at members of...

Should the Lions have gone after James?

Edgerrin James signed a one year free agent deal yesterday with the Seattle Seahawks. The question for Lions fans seems to be isn't this a player the Detroit Lions should have been interested in? James' contract is for only 2 million dollars, and while it probably would have taken more than that to sign him to Lions, wouldn't have been worth it?

Bob Wojnowski: One never made the trip, one never made it back

When he first heard, Chuck Darby was struck by dual bolts of despair and confusion. He could not believe what was happening to his friend and teammate that late-February weekend off the coast of Florida. And he could not fully fathom how he averted the fate himself.

Colts Notebook: Aug. 24

For head coaches in the National Football League, the preseason is exactly that. Won-loss records don't really mean a whole lot during the month of August. Case in point. A year ago, the Detroit Lions went undefeated in the preseason and then failed to win a game in the regular season.
