The Lions In Winter:
So, you’re probably wondering where the promised Old Mother Hubbard stuff is. This is a good wondering! I’m trying to use some advanced data visualization software instead of Excel charts, and the software is throwing me a learning curveball. I’ll revert to the regular old radar charts if I have to, but I’d really like to deliver on this. Second, my Bleacher Report duties are ramping up in the run to the Super Bowl. I swore I wouldn’t let my B/R stuff slow my output here—but it’s critically important to me that I do a great job for B/R, just as it is that I do a great job here. I won’t compromise the quality of my work at B/R, or the quality of the Old Mother Hubbard posts, just to crank them both out at the same time. If you haven't been following my work at B/R, here's some of my most recent stuff to tide you over Why the Lions' cornerback help won't come in the NFL Draft. Here's why the Lions could draft a defensive lineman in the first round. He...

Detroit Lions’ Martin Mayhew Speaks!
Detroit Lions General Manager Martin Mayhew, who lives by the Teddy Roosevelt credo of speaking softly but carrying a big stick, spoke to the media last week. Mayhew is almost as hard to get an interview with as Bigfoot. Has there ever been a General Manager in this town more reclusive than Mayhew?
Now that the offseason is upon us, except for the Super Bowl, it’s Mayhew’...

The Lions have the 23rd pick in upcoming 2012 NFL Draft
Winning changes everything. The Detroit Lions, who were no strangers to drafting higher up in the first round, will have the 23rd pick this year. The biggest areas the Lions need to strengthen are their abilities to stop the run and to improve their secondary.
Things can change at any moment between now and the draft. In Mel Kiper’s 2012 mock draft, he predicts the Lions will pick...
Detroit Lions: offseason needs
If I said the Lions need to go out and get a quarterback this offseason, even the biggest bandwagon-jumper would be able to remind me of the season Matthew Stafford just had. Stafford’s 5,000+ yards passing and 41 touchdowns were both Lion records, but it is in fact true that one of the Lions’ more pressing offseason needs is at the quarterback position.
Stafford had the best...
Stafford Garners Comeback Award, Sets Up Next Generation of Winners
Detroit Lions QB Matthew Stafford emerged as the winner of the Comeback Player of the Year Award for 2011 in the wake of a Lions season that saw industrial strength numbers, late-game comebacks, another amazing year from a guy called Megatron and a long-sought playoff appearance.
While the Lions haven’t exactly been shut out of the NFL awards party in recent years—Ndomukong Suh...
Will the Detroit Lions Carry Three Quarterbacks Again in 2012?
I was surprised when I read in a post by Detroit Free Press writer Dave Birkett that only 14 teams in the NFL carried three quarterbacks for the entire season.
I understand that each spot is vitally important to get right and that a team may need to fudge the QB depth chart to secure a needed player in another position. But there’s a reason you hear corporate types in other businesses...

Mild winter offers break from high heating costs
Although there have been some cold snaps and storms, the moderate weather has been a boon to millions of Americans, allowing them to save money on snow removal and permitting outdoor activities to continue well beyond autumn. But few have been more grateful than low-income families, who are getting a break from high heating costs.
