Having broken down the Detroit Lions’ offseason in terms of free agency, trades, the draft, and individual positions, it’s now time for the inevitable prediction of the team's record. Despite being asked multiple times, I’ve avoided giving any concrete predictions on the season until ...Published on: 24th August, 2010
As a Detroit Lions fan, I really like the Denver Broncos. It's not any affinity I have for Josh McDaniels or Tim Tebow, it's that the Broncos seem to always make the Lions look good. The last time these teams met, the Lions blew out the Broncos 44-7 to cap off a ...Published on: 20th August, 2010
First things first. Well done, Martin Mayhew, for bringing in a first-round pick with a sixth-round pick. And thinking back to the 2010 NFL Draft, Mayhew traded a seventh-round pick to Philadelphia for a sixth next year, so really, 2008 first-rounder Lawrence Jackson has found his way to the Detroit Lions ...Published on: 9th August, 2010

When the NFL sold Electronic Arts and Madden a five-year contract for exclusive rights to its franchise, I swore off the series. It's not that I ...Published on: 16th July, 2010
It has been a very long time since Detroit Lions fans had this much to look forward to. With a bevy of young players ready to make an impact, some cagy veterans looking to prove themselves again, and some continuity in the coaching staff (with guys who seem to know what ...Published on: 10th July, 2010
Look, I know. Matt Millen is gone, and I need to get over it. As Detroit Lions fans, we all do. Dredging up the past isn't really going to help anything. But with the recent release of safety Daniel Bullocks, yet another Millen-brand second round bust, one can't help but wonder ...Published on: 8th July, 2010
If you've been paying attention, your Detroit Lions Featured Columnists, Ryan Steck and I, have been dropping various hints about a certain something coming up. Well, this is that something. No longer content to limit our voices with the written word alone, we've moved on to a new media. So without further ado, ...
