You nailed it with birkett… he is ok but I feel like he’s a shit digger sometimes… specifically that Crosby article which he never even bothered to ask the lions about, just wrote some clickbait one sided thing.
To me Justin Rogers is probably the best, as far as objective analysis goes. Just sucks almost all his articles are paywalled. Jeff Risdon is great and has a ton of equally good insight and is never paywalled
I’m going to tell you the absolute BEST source for Lions info.
Their effing YouTube channel!
It amazes me every single day how the pressers are posted to YouTube but they’re not viewed, rather the articles that are written is what is getting the fans’ attention.
The Detroit lions Podcast is doing a 24 hour show for St Jude starting tomorrow at 9 am. They have an auction w some really cool shit. Dan Miller is Gonna be there. Herman Moore, a lot of lions guys…Justin rogers is gonna be in the show..Wayne fontes….sandman of course…….I also forgot a name….Micro Mike is actually really connected. Does a show w Herman Moore. Someone high up from the lions organization is also gonna be there but that is a teaser at some point. The Detroit lions historian, bill keenist, will be there and he is awesome. He has some really amazing stories about behind the scenes stuff over the last 30 years.
Wow that’s awesome, did not know that! Will definitely check that out tomorrow!
He lives in Toronto
The Bills would have made more sense
Apparently he loves pain and punishment
Welcome Toronto, your consistent, one losing team to another, lol. Hopefully you picked the right time to switch.
So you’re saying … get rid of Goff right?
LOL - Almost 0%
I wont see a Josh Allen in this draft, so no.
It’s far more ifficult to upgrade your QB than it is to upgrade your spaghetti sauce
It came down to 2 things: 1) becoming a Bills fan right when they are a Super Bowl contender would have felt like jumping on the bandwagon 2) Detroit is hands down a better road trip than Buffalo. Better museums (we did the Motown and Henry Ford museums when we were there this fall), better food (according to my wife and sister-in-law the food in Dearborn was the closest they have experienced to real Lebanese food outside of Beirut - and they are both food snobs - whereas Buffalo has wings and thats about it), and I since Ford Field is indoors she won’t mind going to a game with me. But yes the pain does feel familiar.
I would disagree with that characterization, as would most of the users here, I believe.
Not that that sort of thing doesn’t happen…it does and its boring and tiresome…but it isnt prevalent, IMO.
As a mod I read damn near every thread…
Now…5 to 10 years ago? Yep.
Christmas movie convo is pretty much a tribute to weeze-man!
Alright he’s kicked off the bandwagon if he’s not posting 24/7
He’ll fit right in.
Due to NFL budget cuts the browns and lions are being forced to form one team called the Browions.
Which isn’t as bad as the Packers and Bucks being forced to form one team called the Tampacks. They will be only be good for one period and they will not have a second string.
This is the oldest, most active and most knowledgeable Lions fan forum ever.
In fact it’s likely the most knowledgeable football fan forum ever.
There is not a better place to visit and learn not only about the Lions but football in general.
…best looking …ya forgot best looking
You could have mentioned that we are so cursed, that we had the only NFL player to have died on the football field, Chuck Hughes.
Toronto, if you’re a Leaf fan, you’ll fit right in.
Only a fan base this abused and so far down the PTSD well would need a reminder that They Are The Only Team To Have A Player Die On The Field.
On the other hand, its not like he was mowing his lawn…
Or contracted dick fish
Or got drunk and killed 3 people with his car
Or went Coocoo for Cocoa Puffs
Or was paralyzed on the field.
Or was suspended for a year for gambling
Or was sued by the team to recoup his signing bonus because he was a stoner. (I mean the WR) ((No not the HOF WR they sued, I mean the #2 OA pick massive druggie 80 IQ brittle bone doofus who they hired his college coach to be WR coach ti babysit him and eventually sued his mom after his career was over then died penniless)
Or forced their best 2 players ever to retire because they just couldn’t Lion anymore.
Or lost a player for the year to a pizza box. And another to a volleyball game.
Or had a coach drive buck ass naked through a Wendys drive thru
Or somehow have a wide receiver eat his way out of the league.
Thats just the short version, really. I dont want to get into the Samkon Gado-ing by thw refs for decades…
