Hey! Ho! Let’s Go!
Yes, I am alive. Sorry for the disappearing act, but my “real job” keeps getting in the way of me drinking beer and writing about the Lions. That might not be such a bad thing, when you stop and think about it. Anyway, with that said, I shall try and do a better job of […]

2 Steps Forward - 1 Step Back
Okay, I admit it. I might have gotten caught up in the euphoria surrounding this year’s version of the “Greatest Show On Turf”. The Lions went into Philadelphia with a great looking offense and they actually appeared to have a shot against an 0-2 Eagles team that spent most of it’s time defending itself from […]

2 and Oh Yeah!
Wow. The Detroit Lions are now 2 and 0 and are actually living up to some of the pre-season hype. The Detroit Lions offense, with their wide open passing attack, are looking more and more like the Rams of old. Sunday’s win over Minnesota was a barn burner, with both teams giving up turnovers like […]

Are The Detroit Lions For Real?
Are the Detroit Lions for real? That’s the question that many of us are asking in the wake of the Lion’s season opening victory over Oakland. The Lions kicked off their season with a rare road win, trouncing the Raiders 36-21.
Lions fans know better than to get too excited. How many times have we watched […]

Bring On The Real Games!
Well, the Lions lost last night’s final pre-season game to the Bills.
But who really cares? The last pre-season game is really a lost cause. The offense and defensive schemes are plain vanilla. No one wants to show their cards in a meaningless game one week away from the start of the season. No major […]

Ouch! Lions Lose 37-10.
The Lions looked absolutely dismal last night, as the Super Bowl Champion Indianapolis Colts rolled to a 37-10 victory. Peyton Manning ripped the Lions apart, going 23-of-27 for 233 yards and three TDs in the first half. He did not play in the second half, but replacement QB Jim Sorgi continued to massacre the Lions […]

Lions Beat Browns For 2nd Pre-Season Win
It’s tough being a Lions fan. Here we have a team off to a 2-0 start in the pre-season and it is impossible to enjoy it. You can’t brag to your friends. You can’t even mention that the team looks good, because after all - ITS THE LIONS. Just try mentioning to someone around the […]

Pass First, Ask Questions Later: Lions Defeat Cincy In First Pre-Season Match
The St. Louis Lions eeked out a victory last night, and you have to give this victory to the mad scientist, Mike Martz. The Lions scored 17 unanswered points to end the fourth quarter and steal a win against the Bengals. Sure it was the pre-season, and the Lions took advantage of a late in […]

Lions Win! Or Lose! I Don’t Know!
The Lions upset the playoff bound Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. So they won. Kind of.
By beating Dallas, the Lions lost the first round draft pick in next years draft. That honor will now go to the Raiders, who are (at least mathematically) the worst team in the NFL. I guess we should be happy […]

Lions Lose To Chicago, Fans Walk Out In Protest
The home season ender was a repeat of last year: a loss. It also marked the second straight year where fans got up out of their expensive seats and walked out of the stadium in protest. This year, about 100 or so fans staged a walkout.
It has been widely reported that the management of […]
