Never one to allow good news to stand in the way of bad, the Detroit Lions announced the signing of their first round pick (Calvin Johnson) on Friday, as well as the placing of their other rookie project (Drew Stanton) on Injured Reserve. Stanton had surgery on his knee almost immediately after joining the team, […]

According to the Detroit News, rookie quarterback Drew Stanton injured his knee over the weekend. While the sources claim that the injury was not serious, they also report that Drew had surgery to repair the damage. Recovery time could be as long as a month. Stanton was a second round pick for the Detroit Lions.

According to MLive.com’s Tom Kowalksi, Kevin Jones Is 50-50 For The Season Opener. He is recovering from Lisfranc surgery (that’s techspeak for foot surgery), and even though he is recovering nicely, he reportedly is still having limitations cutting. The regular season opener is September 9th, and there is a good chance that he starts the […]

Argh…
Where to start? Everybody is talking about Jon Kitna’s recent claim that the Lions will win at least ten games this year. I’m not even going to work to find the right link or quote that backs up this claim. Who knows, it might be incorrect. But the point is - everyone believes that Jon […]

Former Lions defensive end James Hall recently spoke out about the Honolulu Blue. According to Hall (who is now with the Rams), the Lions lack chemistry and in general, are not a well run team. Surprise, surprise!
Hall told the Detroit Free Press that “I personally didn’t feel that the organization was going in the […]

According to the Detroit Free Press, Kevin Jones has had two of the three pins removed from his surgically repaired foot. Jones says “That one stays in. It’s not anywhere where it’s going to affect me from flexing it at all.” According to several published reports, he is progressing well and he is on schedule […]

I guess it could have been worse. As most of you know, I was hoping that the Lions would trade out of the #2 slot and stockpile more draft choices. I also was hoping for a big name defensive star to join the Honolulu Blue.
Instead, Matt Millen chose to draft his fourth first round wide […]

Well, the draft is only days away and the pundits have already gone wild with prognostications on what will happen on draft day. We can all try and guess what each team will do, and that’s fun, but it doesn’t really help the team much. The Lions are one of those teams that need help […]

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. […]

As if the Lions don’t have enough problems (where to start?), the team learned over the weekend that Kevin Jones Might Miss Half The Season. Jones had a Lisfranc injury in December and he had surgery on his foot just a few days later. Apparently, the recuperation time will be much longer than originally anticipated. […]
