Another reason to give up on the Lions.
January 1st, 2019 at 3:52 PM ^
0% chance I root for the Lions if he plays meaningful snaps. I’ve been around the dude in person before, one of the biggest dickheads I’ve ever met.
January 1st, 2019 at 3:57 PM ^
I think you share the same sentiment as his ex teammates at Michigan State.
January 1st, 2019 at 4:34 PM ^
Completely and totally agree with this. I live in the bay area and know some people with ties to the Raiders organization. They all despise him, whiny little bitch is what most called him.
January 1st, 2019 at 6:45 PM ^
I remember when he came out of MSU and people would say stuff like "he's a little awkward but not a bad guy" after all the stories came out. But then he apparently kept being a dick.
January 1st, 2019 at 3:56 PM ^
January 1st, 2019 at 5:03 PM ^
Why does anybody not cheer for the Red Sox, Patriots, Warriors, Penguins, etc.?
January 1st, 2019 at 7:14 PM ^
You don’t have to win championships to have a team worth rooting for. Mariners, Texans, Predators, Raptors etc. You need to to have hope to enjoy rooting for a team, and as I lifelong fan of the Lions, I barely have any.
January 1st, 2019 at 3:59 PM ^
Oh no, now it's slightly less likely that the Lions will ever win anything!!!
January 1st, 2019 at 4:00 PM ^
This guy was such a douchebag at MSU. A few of my MSU friends would talk to him at frat parties and he was such an asshole.
January 1st, 2019 at 4:01 PM ^
Now this ought to solve all the Lions leadership issue. /s
January 1st, 2019 at 4:04 PM ^
It’s bad enough that Matt Stafford gets to hand pick his OC, but now they let him pick his backups too?
WTF!
January 1st, 2019 at 7:10 PM ^
Matthew Stafford this season:
QBR: 49.3 (27th)
Yards: 3,511 (15th)
TD: 19 (20th)
Rating: 88.7 (25th)
Salary: $25m (5th)
Lions. Still screwed.
January 1st, 2019 at 4:04 PM ^
One of the most Lions things they could have done
January 1st, 2019 at 4:07 PM ^
Futures contract is not a big deal. They picked him off the scrap heap. There’s a chance he doesn’t even make it to a minicamp, depending how the draft and REAL free agent signings go.
This does look like the end of Rudock in Detroit, though.
January 1st, 2019 at 4:15 PM ^
Remember the trophy grab from Archie griffin?
January 2nd, 2019 at 4:29 PM ^
I was so offended when he shooshed the student section after MSU beat OSU and went to the B1G CCG. How dare anyone treat our hated rivals like that. Beating them at football, I mean.
January 1st, 2019 at 4:21 PM ^
lol. remember that time they traded up to take drew stanton in the 2nd round?
i think their scouting dept. is the rcmb.
January 2nd, 2019 at 5:32 AM ^
Don't forget about good ol' sparty, Charles Rogers. Taken with the #2 overall pick in the 2003 draft.
Smoked his career away Ricky Williams style.
January 1st, 2019 at 4:25 PM ^
it was an after the season signing meaning he's at best a 3rd string, extra body to have for off-season camps. Chances he's even in training camp with them is probably 60%.
January 1st, 2019 at 4:25 PM ^
The NFL is so infuriating sometimes, let's recycle garbage quarterbacks and failed coaches over and over again. Maybe their fifth chance will be the charm. I hear Caldwell is a head coaching candidate again, maybe this time he'll have some great new ideas.
January 1st, 2019 at 4:34 PM ^
I hope every OSU PSU and MSU nfl draftee signs with the Lions
January 1st, 2019 at 4:37 PM ^
Reserve-future deals are kind of meaningless big-picture. But still, that is an uninspiring start to 2019.
January 1st, 2019 at 4:40 PM ^
I thought they might finally have gotten what it takes to win with Quinn and Patricia...that ended they lost 48-17 to the Jets the first game. Just keep digging, guys.
January 1st, 2019 at 4:51 PM ^
Front shoulder throws until forever.
January 1st, 2019 at 5:06 PM ^
I don't know, but this stupid drop down ad at the top of the screen annoys the shit out of me. I miss not having an mgoblog app
January 1st, 2019 at 5:38 PM ^
I will forever boycott any entity that advertises with that godforsaken thing
January 1st, 2019 at 8:33 PM ^
Yea that thing up there is the worst
January 1st, 2019 at 5:07 PM ^
Is that the faggy Irish singer?
January 1st, 2019 at 5:11 PM ^
The guy is a massive douchebag, but he did have a hell of a record at MSU. As much as I hate MSU and dont like Cook, I would have loved Michigan to replicate their 13-15 run with him
January 1st, 2019 at 5:28 PM ^
So, we all sat around and talked about how perhaps if they put some upward pressure on Matt Stafford, that might be the test RE: his future.
...and the Lions sign Connor Cook.
Yep. *cries*
January 1st, 2019 at 5:41 PM ^
Go Bears!
January 1st, 2019 at 6:08 PM ^
Well known arrogant narcissistic d bag to the students at MSU.
January 1st, 2019 at 6:23 PM ^
Garbage person, garbage QB, garbage organization.
Why am I not surprised?
January 1st, 2019 at 6:53 PM ^
Literally LOL’d when I read the title of this thread. Connor Cook? Seriously?
January 1st, 2019 at 8:37 PM ^
Way to go Lions
January 2nd, 2019 at 7:10 AM ^
Why do lions fans get so mad? You are receiving the product you ask for. You sell out Ford Field every game. If I own a business and I’m selling out my entire inventory, why would I change my product? The only change they should consider is how to get more seats in the stadium to meet the demands of the consumer who loves the product that is provided.
