Jersey Watch: Joey Harrington Lions

Found May 31, 2012 on Bacon Sports: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Joey Harrington
TEAMS: Detroit Lions
77158391
My friend Lisa Hernandez, who lives in Chicago, has this story to tell about the Joey Harrington jersey below (note: Lisa is coincidently a Detroit Lions fan): “I was over a half a block behind the guy, walking to my daughter’s school & was disappointed that I wouldn’t get close enough to get a picture. Then he stopped at the gate to pick up his kid. I’m not saying I have a Joey Sunshine jersey, but if I did, I’d take it off before going out in public.” Very well said Lisa. I really have no clue what is going through this guys head. The only thing that I could think of is that he is starting the “embarrass your kid” thing early and what better way to show your kid who is in charge then by rocking a Joey Harrington jersey to his school. Don’t worry, it’ll only take 10 years of therapy for that kid to recover.

Lions believe Ryan Broyles could be ready for Training Camp

Via The Football Fan Spot  |  June 01, 2012
Ryan Broyles is the FBS’ all-time leading receiver, but he fell in the draft because he was undersized and because he tore his ACL late last season. The Lions obviously saw he was far enough along in his recovery at his Pro Day, where he ran a 40 in the 4.60 range, that they used their 2nd round pick on him even though they had no clear need for a wide receiver. Broyles has been...

Bill Ford Jr. puts Lions players on notice

Via Just Sports And Just Us  |  May 31, 2012
After Jim Schwartz had a mouthful to say about the off field troubles of a few Detroit Lions players, Bill Ford Jr. got in on the act. For those who aren't familiar with Ford Jr. he was the one who basically greased the skids for Matt Millen to be fired since his father (William Clay Ford) was hesitant to do so. Ford Jr. went on WJR in Detroit to express his disappointment...

Suh, Fairley have plenty to prove in 2012

Via Fox Sports Detroit  |  May 30, 2012
ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- Detroit Lions veteran receiver Nate Burleson looks around the locker room and sees the type of talent to make a serious run at a Super Bowl. "It's rare that you're on a team that actually can win the championship," Burleson said. "That is our goal." And it is a realistic goal except for one thing: How is the defense that allowed...

It’s time for the Detroit Lions defensive tackle Nick Fairley to leave Alabama for good. It may be his home and it may be where he went to college and passed his glory days, but it’s also where his friends live. It’s where dangerous situations call him on the phone and show up at his door [...]

Lions’ approach to Young and Fairley incident seems backward

Via Detroit Sports 360  |  June 01, 2012
Detroit Lions coach Jim Schwartz isn’t second-guessing his team’s 2011 NFL Draft class… but he’s handling two off-the-field incidents regarding two different players very differently. Titus Young’s sucker punch has seemingly taken the front seat when it comes to disciplinary action, while Nick Fairley’s DUI is a somewhat quiet topic. Young’s good standing with the [...]

Detroit Lions’ Barry Sanders is the greatest running back that ever lived

Via The Sport Mentalist  |  May 30, 2012
He’s listed third on the NFL’s list of career rushing leaders but anyone who ever watched Detroit Lions’ running back Barry Sanders play will tell you he is the greatest running back in the history of the game. Nobody ran it like Barry Sanders. Most of the best running backs to have played the game could squeeze another three to four yards out of a busted play but Sanders made...
