The Detroit Lions sure are cute. I've raved about their awesome wide receiver Calvin Johnson, the boner-inducing defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh, and have been jealous of their metal music listening head coach in Jim Schwartz. In comparison, I bet Leslie Frazier listens to the Charmels before a game starts. I mean, they're fine and all, but ... Before a game? You're not having sex on the sidelines, man.Either way, I've started to sour a bit on the Lions recently, and it largely has to do with them having greater success than my favorite team in the Vikings. Now, I DO foresee a crash back to earth this season where they play some middling ball largely because they didn't upgrade their defense this offseason, and also partially because they've turned into a team with a bunch of criminals (says the guy who writes a blog about the Vikings, I get it).That's where the Detroit Lions Monopoly board comes into play above. Hilarious! Go To Jail is their only option,...

A tough question becomes simple with one small nod from the team doctors. When the Detroit Lions’ medical crew gives running back Jahvid Best that nod, their backfield issues disappear.
But that just won’t happen soon. With the ever-increasing concussion crackdown in the NFL, Best’s third such injury may be a death sentence.
With Best not cleared to play, and no timetable...

Isn’t it time the Detroit Lions organization puts some effort into rewarding its unofficial cheerleading team, the Detroit Pride? One of the final holdouts in the NFL to not allow cheerleaders anywhere near 60,000 slobbering meathead fans, the Lions finally allowed the Pride entrance to Ford Field in 2010.

Detroit Lions defensive end Cliff Avril reported to training camp on August 5, ending a 9-day holdout.

Training camp injuries and accidents always force fans and media types to dwell on the negative. “How could this happen now?” or “why wasn’t the problem solved sooner?” seem to be the biggest complaints with the recent news on Detroit Lions’ safety Louis Delmas.

Unfortunately for the Lions they’ve already seen some of those terms appear in the training camp reports and now we’ve seen our first Dr. James Andrews mention.

It is August the 9th, and the 2012 campaign for the Detroit Lions has taken another huge blow. Of course the blow comes where the team is weakest…the defensive secondary. Arguably the best player there, Safety Louis Delmas, has had knee surgery and is out indefinitely, leaving the Lions with far more questions than any kind of real answers for the issues in the secondary. The good...
