Jim Schwartz, should he stay or should he go?

Heading into today’s game against the Indianapolis Colts the Lions are 4-7 and in the middle of a disappointing season with signs of regression everywhere.

Jim Schwartz: Titus Young will have knee surgery ‘unless he doesn’t show up for it’

It took nearly two full seasons, but it appears Titus Young has officially become persona non grata with the Detroit Lions. The second-year wide receiver was placed on injured reserve earlier this week and will not play for the team again this season. Young apparently has a knee injury and is scheduled to have surgery, which opened the door for head coach Jim Schwartz to toss an...

Lions put Young on injured reserve

The Detroit Lions ended disgruntled receiver Titus Youngs season by placing him on injured reserve, one of several moves the club made on Tuesday. Young had been inactive the last two games for disciplinary reasons after his moody behavior became a distraction to the team.

Lions tired of Titus Young, place on IR

The Detroit Lions are fed up with wide receiver Titus Young so they placed him on season-ending injured reserve with a knee injury. Young has missed practice throughout the season with an ailing knee, but the Lions decision to place him on IR was more about getting rid of a major locker-room distraction.   The Lions chose to keep Young on IR instead of just releasing him...

Lions vs. Texans: Pure Thanksgiving Day Agony

Hey guys, remember when the Lions went into overtime against the Texans when they were winning 31-24? Yeah, me too. The second that Jim Schwartz threw that challenge flag I knew the game was over.  Teams never come back from this type of stuff.  It almost always backfires on them, or causes the team to get frustrated and they come apart at the seams. Why on earth is that a rule...

Jim Harbaugh Was On “Saved By The Bell”

The years after “Saved By The Bell” ended its run were bleak. There was that college thing and then they tried to start over with a whole new set of spoiled, rich teenagers on “Saved By The Bell: The New Class”. Naturally, it failed miserably, but it did a few things right. 1. It kept Screech from getting into porn before his time. 2. It gave Mr. Belding some more work before...
