Bill Ford Jr. puts Lions players on notice

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...

Fairley’s DUI cause for Lions to open up about team’s misbehavior

For those expecting Detroit Lions coach Jim Schwartz (and the organization as a whole) to be more aggressive when issuing statements about certain team members’ recent misbehavior… don’t hold your breath. It would be logical to assume that Schwartz would be more heavy-handed, delivering harsh commentary when discussing, say, sucker punches in practice, or even [...]

NFC North: Jim Schwartz’s Seat Should Be Heating Up

Schwartz's antics should be raising some eyebrows in the Motor CIty If you took a poll of 100 NFL fans and asked them which of the four head coaches in the NFC North was on the hottest seat entering the 2012 season, a majority very likely would choose Chicago Bears head coach Lovie Smith who survived a mediocre season which was followed by a major shakeup in the Bears’...

Breakdown of the Detroit Lions’ 2012 schedule

Detroit Lions draft day manifesto

And with the twenty-third pick in the 2012 NFL draft, the Detroit Lions select…. Well, if you read my last Lions piece, you are probably hoping for South Carolina’s Stephon Gilmore. However, with the unpredictability the Lions have displayed over the past decade when it comes to drafting, who knows what route they will go.  Detroit has showed everyone over the past years that...
