Wow. I'm not a huge Lions fan, and I've gotten a fair bit of enjoyment at their expense over the past few years, but that was impressive. It'll be very interesting to see where the team goes from here in the next few seasons.

Living in Dallas and getting to see him in high school, i've always pulled for him, even though i'm indifferent on the Lions. Steve Sabol said that was the best audio that NFL films has ever gotten, and theyve been in business since the mid 60's. Its hard to argue that. That was good stuff.

The man seems to be a field general, which is what this team has been sorely lacking. Now we just need to draft some offensive line talent to protect him before he gets killed. We're going to have a high draft pick again guys....just keep saying to yourself, "left tackle, left tackle, left tackle.....".

"I'm hitting your helmets like this is gonna be on you" Does anyone know if this is this one of the oldest tricks in the quarterback book or is Stafford really clever?

... doesn't matter what the records were (or maybe it made it that much better), but to see someone compete like that, particularly the last drive, just epitomizes what sport is about. Great find.

How can anyone see that and not get goosebumps? I think I'd follow Stafford to the gates of Hell. I was against taking him, I was against him starting as a rookie... but fuck it, he's going to be a champion someday. Hopefully in Detroit.

since Joe Schmidt in the 70s who I don't think "Jesus, what a fucking tool." when I look at him on the sidelines. He actually looks like he knows what he's doing.

Did anyone else enjoy how many guys were slapping Stafford on the bad shoulder after the game was over? I would have had an O-Lineman blocking for me to make sure that my shoulder wasn't getting knocked around any more than he needed to. Also, I love the sequence where the O-Lineman comes over to check on him, Stafford groans (understandably) and then just politely, but firmly says "Get the F*** off me." And then as soon as he figures out he can go back in the game, he wants the ball. Love it. Pure gamer.

I noticed that there were a few "bleeped" out words in that vid, clearly RR's "axis of evil" (foul language) has engulfed not only the UM program, but has extended its vile grip to encompass the greater Detroit area and the Lions as well. I expect a full expose' from the Freep post haste!

Gentlemen, I'm going to say this real quietly, because it is the Detroit Lions I am about to speak of. I think we maybe, just maybe have witnessed the birth of a legend. What a freaking competitor.

The players union will make sure that this act does not go unpunished. Surely he will be ostracized by the league. There is no place for this in professional sports. Hopefully it's contagious, for the Lion's sake.
