    How many times has your team had the 1st pick in the draft

    Surprisingly enough the Detroit Lions have only had it twice. 1980 we took Billy Sims who's knees were a study in pre-modern medicine. Guy was a stud for a short time though. 2009 we took Matthew Stafford and I guess how he's done depends on which Lions fan you ask.

    Michigan Whiffed on Every Recruit Who Took an Official Visit for the Ohio State Game

    Like I said, it is concerning but they didn't really seem to be going for the top guys as much this year. Again, I don't agree with the strategy if it really was strategy. And if next year looks the same it clearly isn't strategy.

    Michigan Whiffed on Every Recruit Who Took an Official Visit for the Ohio State Game

    Plenty of kids know where they are going and still take their visits.

    McDaniels continues his journey to destroy every team but the Patriots

    McDaniels was just a pawn. Belichick orchestrated the perfect Deflategate revenge. Embarrassments galore!

    Michigan Whiffed on Every Recruit Who Took an Official Visit for the Ohio State Game

    I won't act like it doesn't concern me that we didn't land a 5 star player or a top 100 recruit. I get caught up in this stuff just like everyone else. Last spring when we were getting commitments from 3 stars and low 4 stars I wondered WTF myself. I read an article though about how Harbaugh...

    Next Lions HC, Matt Patricia

    Teryl Austin's defense only gave up 11 points in his last game. We should have hired that guy.

    Le'veon Bell

    Bell likely isn't a good as his numbers and if he signs with anyone but Pittsburgh, that team will regret it. He produces big numbers but their offense in general produces big numbers. I think he's as much a system guy as he is a beast. When he was suspended, old ass, out of the league now...

    Next Lions HC, Matt Patricia

    I think the next coach would be smart to hire an OC who has a history of being able to run the GD ball. A history of developing a competent o-line. You can upgrade the OC and placate Stafford by making Cooter the Assistant HC/QB coach. Unless Cooter can show that it was Caldwell's issues that...

    Next Lions HC, Matt Patricia

    I would have to imagine, if both the Lions and Giants told Matt Patricia that they wanted to hire him, and he prefers the Giants, that he wouldn't tell his buddy Quinn his intentions. And if that's the case I doubt Quinn will wait around any longer and he'll hire his second choice. Every other...

    Teryl Austin Bengals

    Austin has had a lot interviews over the last few years mostly built off of his first year as a DC. He's done a good job keeping it together with injuries but Rob's right, he hasn't done enough to get a top job. You see we're the only ones who gave him an HC look this year. And that was...

    Lions Fire Jim Caldwell

    For almost 20 years we were mostly garbage until Caldwell came along. We were a team talking about the draft by week 10 and now we're talking about playoffs at least until week 16. I like Caldwell and appreciate what he did for us. He's a good coach and by all accounts a great person and...

    Will Georgia run the table?

    If THIS Georgia team can't beat THIS Florida team we'll be forced to start calling it Bulldogging.

    Jay Cutler, so far in Miami...

    Teams that can't sell out their home games get a game in London. The Jags are doing one a year. When Miami gets competent and fields a team their fans will show up for, a winner not a few names, they won't lose home games to London. Goes for team every pretty much. I assume London sold out...

    Time to eat some crow?

    I wanted to go with 10 or 11 wins but kind of felt like I was being a homer and seeing things that just wasn't there. It's happened a few times before. I ended up going with 9-7. After seeing the rest of the league, the NFC, the North and the teams on our schedule, I'll be disappointed if we...

    Week 5 LOL's

    Michigan-Michigan State is sometimes more heated and is certainly more personal to the players and many fans than Ohio State but Ohio State is historically more our equals and therefore our biggest rivals. That game to me belongs at the end of the season. I kind of see Georgia-Georgia Tech the...

    Week 5 LOL's

    So let me ask you. I've never been to the Cocktail Party but it doesn't seem like it's really a fair deal for Georgia. You said it's 50-50. Yea, Jacksonville is near the border but Jacksonville is a major city and the closest decent sized cities to it are Valdosta, Albany and Macon before you...

    Week 5 LOL's

    Many times Georgia has gone into the game with better teams/more talented teams. They often come out of this game broken. There's such a gap between these 2 teams right now that another loss to the Gators would likely destroy this season. I'm really interested to see how this year's game...

    Is Aaron Rodgers Overrated?

    Is Aaron Rodgers Overrated?

    I hate Aaron Rodgers. I'd love to just say he's not that good but he is. The only way he's overrated IMO is if you say he's better than Tom Brady. I'd say Rodgers won a Superbowl with a team that really shouldn't have won a Superbowl with. That team had talent but not many QBs in history...

    What OOC team do you want to face?

    We've stolen a lot of their coaches. Next we'll make Dana our Special Assistant in Charge of Water Bottles. I'd love to play a lot of teams like a West Virginia. We have Oklahoma coming up so they would probably be my pick if not for that scheduling. I'd love some payback on Oregon for the...

    New Prince Reissued Set Dropped Today.......

    I wish they would have released the new music separately, I don't need Purple Rain remastered. And I can't stand recorded concerts. I'll buy it though. iTunes has 2 versions with songs that are live/extended/remixed and one without. I'll just need to figure out which one I want. Prince was...

    Is KSU coach Snyder in the wrong or in the right?

    Anytime a coach blocks a player from leaving his program, that coach is in the wrong. Then when you double down by saying your making him stay because he keeps failiong drug tests, your definately in the wrong. The only way Snyder might have been right here is if this kid is in trouble and...
