February 8th, 2011 at 5:52 AM ^
You made me log in to say this. Don't even fucking joke about that man.
February 8th, 2011 at 8:14 AM ^
May rabid weasels live in your pants forever for even putting those two words in that order.
February 8th, 2011 at 11:45 AM ^
Millen's back - see for yourself:
(you would nto believe how hard it is to find a decent picture of Matt Millen's back)
February 8th, 2011 at 11:59 AM ^
i laughed
February 8th, 2011 at 1:54 AM ^
Tom Brady is bringing his talents back to the state of Michigan.
February 8th, 2011 at 1:54 AM ^
Albert Haynesworth maybe?
February 8th, 2011 at 1:58 AM ^
They obviously signed Peyton Manning ldo.
February 8th, 2011 at 2:01 AM ^
Braylon, Harris, woodley and traded for woodson!
February 8th, 2011 at 11:44 AM ^
and denard turned pro! (fuck ncaa rules)
February 8th, 2011 at 12:16 PM ^
And Dez came out of retirement!!!
February 8th, 2011 at 3:10 PM ^
and denard turned pro! (fuck ncaa rules)
The NCAA has nothing to do with NFL Draft eligibility.
February 8th, 2011 at 2:33 AM ^
Signs seem to point that WXYZ is picking up the TV rights to the Lions preseason games over WWJ. I would also accept Jeff Fisher moving to the front office to help Lewand and Mayhew.
February 8th, 2011 at 2:03 AM ^
Since the Lions beat the Packers during the regular season, they will hold a press conference attempting to claim that they are the rightful Super Bowl champs? The banner will be raised tomorrow at Ford Field?
February 8th, 2011 at 9:20 AM ^
February 8th, 2011 at 1:09 PM ^
Alabama would count it.
February 8th, 2011 at 2:07 AM ^
The Ford family is about to divulge that the last ten years of WCF running the team has been a "Weekend at Bernie's" scenario, and that it is finally time to lay him to rest. I hear they are going to apologize for any confusion between their stiff, the working stiffs who still buy tickets, and the stiff they hired to be the GM nine years ago.
February 8th, 2011 at 2:09 AM ^
They're moving the team to Grand Rapids. Ford Field will now be used solely for high school games and an annual MSU basketball/football game.
February 8th, 2011 at 8:07 AM ^
Ah yes, the River City Lions. Can you hear the roar?
February 8th, 2011 at 2:17 AM ^
February 8th, 2011 at 2:42 AM ^
February 8th, 2011 at 3:18 AM ^
Mike Illitch bought the Lions? Haha, I kid. The Fords will never sell the team. Ever.
February 8th, 2011 at 5:02 AM ^
I wish he could buy the Lions, but he would have to sell the Wings and Tigers as well as revoke any bids on the Pistons he may have made due to NFL rule preventing an NFL owner to own any other professional team in the area. Still wish it could happen though!
February 8th, 2011 at 9:34 AM ^
Don't fall into the trap of lumping "The Fords." William Clay makes the, er, decisions. Bill Jr. has bigger fish to fry.
Once the old man finally kicks the bucket, the Lions will again have a chance to have competent ownership whether it's Jr. (no dummie) keeping the or he sells it (not out of the realm of possibility given how committed he is to the auto company).
February 8th, 2011 at 5:14 PM ^
that Junior was the big proponent of hiring Millen.
February 8th, 2011 at 5:58 PM ^
And also wanted to fire him sooner, IIRC.
February 8th, 2011 at 5:15 AM ^
They are going to join on to the campaign started by Chrysler and have a 24 hour Marathon playing only that commercial in Ford Field. That's one of the best commercials I've seen.
February 8th, 2011 at 6:13 AM ^
They're announcing that they won't be using their first pick on a WR this year. That would definitely be a "major" announcement.
February 8th, 2011 at 9:36 AM ^
The joke's only been old for three years now.
DERP DERP DERP
February 8th, 2011 at 7:16 AM ^
...told me that Brett Favre will be the Lion's quarterback next season.
Yes!
February 8th, 2011 at 7:38 AM ^
"New" uniforms again?
February 8th, 2011 at 7:45 AM ^
Releasing of Julian Peterson? I don't think it is a signing, because there is no free agency without a new CBA.
February 8th, 2011 at 9:15 AM ^
I forgot about that. I was hoping it would be the announcement of the signing of Nnamdi Asomugha
February 8th, 2011 at 10:31 AM ^
they announced 3-5 weeks ago that they were not retaining him
February 8th, 2011 at 8:29 AM ^
Richard Hamilton was traded to the Lions to play free safety
February 8th, 2011 at 8:40 AM ^
February 8th, 2011 at 9:26 AM ^
What's the big deal with having cheerleaders? It's a football game, if you're that desperate to see scantily clad women, the Bazouki Lounge is just a few blocks away.
February 8th, 2011 at 9:36 AM ^
Also, I have heard that there are thes "websites" on the "internet" that have free "pornography."
Take that information and do with it what you may. Happy fapping.
February 8th, 2011 at 9:10 AM ^
they are making the jump to Division 1 in 2014
February 8th, 2011 at 9:15 AM ^
they are gonna sign that DB from oakland....Asomgua (yes i know i probably butchered the spelling)
February 8th, 2011 at 10:28 AM ^
On the Lions' website an article was just posted in their news section regarding free agency, that talks about how they have been utilizing the draft and free agency.

Here's a quote from it that may be interesting.
Moving forward, Schwartz, Linehan and the rest of the coaching staff will take the same approach as they have in the past in finding the right players to fit their needs.
“We traded for 
But then again, they would probably have to pay out the ass for a corner of his caliber, which may conflict with No. 2.
February 8th, 2011 at 9:27 AM ^
William Clay Ford Sr. tearfully announced that he is selling the Detroit Lions immediately to a consortium of Detroit area investors, ending the Ford family's disastrous near-half century of ownership. Ford admitted that ever since his brother Henry Ford II gave him the money to purchase the franchise in 1964, the Lions have declined dramatically from their stature as one of the NFL's best teams in the 1950s and early 1960s. He apologized for his incompetence at selecting general managers and other front office personnel, and took specific responsibility for the hiring of Matt Millen, whose record as Lion's GM is the worst of any general manager in the history of professional sports.
In a bizarre coda to the press conference, Willam Clay Ford Jr. bolted onto the dais and attempted to wrest the microphone away from his father, screaming "Never sell!! Never sell! It's my team now, goddamit!!" Security personnel struggled to drag the weeping and shouting Ford protege off, and had to taze the younger Ford in an adjoining hallway to get him under control.
February 8th, 2011 at 10:40 AM ^
Right Don?
February 8th, 2011 at 9:41 AM ^
Nnamdi Asomugha
February 8th, 2011 at 10:08 AM ^
Stafford messed his shoulder up again...
February 8th, 2011 at 10:19 AM ^
...stirring an extra thick milk shake at home.
February 8th, 2011 at 10:19 AM ^
They're announcing that they're dumping a bunch of money into free agency because the fans deserve success in the near term.
That's right- eight wins or bust in 2011. This is the year. .500 dream season is the goal.
THE CHASE FOR EIGHT!
