Heck, if it weren’t for a strong legion of Steelers fans buying tickets to the game, most of us would have had to listen to it on the radio. The truth is: most [...]

Progress
I’m not real big on moral victories, because they exist in place of actual victories, but I see a team that is finally heading in the right direction. The Lions are 1-4, but they have lost to two undefeated teams (Saints and Vikings,) a 3-1 team (Bears) and the 3-2 defending Super Bowl champs. The [...]

They might have lost, but the Lions should get some credit for putting up one heck of a fight. They took the NFL champion Steelers to the limit on Sunday, taking them to the final minute before a final failed drive fell short as they lost 28-20 to Pittsburgh to fall to 1-4. Pittsburgh turned [...]

Instead of doing the weekly “Technically Speaking” column, I wanted to analyze the differences between Matthew Stafford and Daunte Culpepper. There is a good chance that Stafford will not play this week due to the injury he suffered against the Bears. There are several factors that will change the dynamic of this game if Culpepper [...]
Lions Want More from Julian Peterson
The Detroit News says that the team needs more from linebacker Julian Peterson: Julian Peterson practiced as the Lions’ starting strong-side linebacker Wednesday. Today, he’ll practice as a defensive end, in what is now a weekly routine for the five-time Pro Bowler. One man, two jobs. On Sunday, he’ll be a little of both, shuffling [...]

This goes out to you, Packers fan living in Arizona or Seahawks fan living in Southern California or any other NFL fan living far removed from the local market of your favorite NFL team. If that applies to you, here’s your chance to win a trip to the Super Bowl and become a folk hero [...]
