With the draft right around the corner, it’s the perfect time to analyze the Detroit Lions activity so far this off-season. This team continues to bewilder prognosticators, fans and even players, but that won’t stop me from trying to make some sense of it all. However, I might just need a drink when I’m done. […]

Is Mike Williams The “Most Useless Player” In The NFL?
The popular football web site RealFootball365 recently named Mike Williams as the Most Useless Player in the NFL. And they’ve got a good point. This guy has a huge salary and can’t even make it onto the field. If he is paid like a superstar and he doesn’t even play, that’s pretty damn useless. Here’s […]

Wishful Thinking On A Bye - Fire Millen & The Tampa 2
Okay, with the Lions on a bye, and the team at 1-6, you would think that now might be the perfect time to fire team CEO/GM Matt Millen. I don’t want to get personal (I’m sure he’s a nice guy) but the truth is that he hasn’t gotten the job done. Millen inherited a 9-7 […]
