Again, it's preseason football and therefore scoreboards about as accurate and meaningful as compliments a stripper gives you, but losing 34-10 to the Detroit Lions wasn't very promising for the New England Patriots because well, their starters got beaten kinda badly by Motown's starters. Chad Ochocinco did not have a good game. He dropped a pass, and had zero catches while … [Read more...] about New England Patriots Look Kinda Bad in 34-10 Loss to Detroit Lions

Detroit Lions 2011 Season: Game by Game Breakdown
I am tired of tv pundits and radio talk show hosts throwing around win totals and predictions without going into detail before throwing out their opinions. Sometimes a reaction from the audience seems to be more important than giving an informed take on things. In my previous Lions blog, I went into the high hopes surrounding the Lions for this upcoming season. What follows … [Read more...] about Detroit Lions 2011 Season: Game by Game Breakdown
Next Ndamukong Suh: Michigan Wolverines Mike Martin? Possibly?
Detroit Lions DL Ndamukong Suh was fined $20,000 by the NFL Wednesday for a hit on Cincinnati quarterback Andy Dalton, Suh's third fine of this sort in the past year. He was obviously upset, tweeting before practice: "$20,000REALLY???!!!!!!… #NFL #BIGFAIL" The reigning NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year grabbed the Bengals rookie ginger-haired quarterback after he released the … [Read more...] about Next Ndamukong Suh: Michigan Wolverines Mike Martin?

NFL Preseason Week One: Biggest Winners and Losers
The first week of the preseason produced many surprising standouts on some teams and left much to be desired for others. Some winning teams emerged along with players who experienced real personal wins through their outstanding performances. Other teams bombed badly with players expected to do much better flopping and fumbling their first chances to impress fans on the public … [Read more...] about NFL Preseason Week One: Biggest Winners and Losers
Detroit Lions 2nd Round Pick Mikel LeShoure, Out for Season, Torn Achilles
Yet another reason to compare Detroit Lions second round pick, running back Mikel Leshoure, to Steelers tailback Rashard Mendenhall. They were both the feature back for one season for the Illinois Fighting Illini before bolting early for the NFL. Both wore the same jersey number in college football before being taken in the same range on draft day. Now both have seen their … [Read more...] about Detroit Lions 2nd Round Pick Mikel LeShoure, Out for Season, Torn Achilles
How the Detroit Tigers Can Build on Their Lead
The Tigers lead the rest of the field in the American League Central by three games. This is obviously the position they want to be in, but the amount would be more comfortable if the margin was bigger. I have some suggestions for the front office and coaching staff on how the team can extend its lead to have a more substantial cushion. Rotating the designated hitter makes … [Read more...] about How the Detroit Tigers Can Build on Their Lead
Detroit Lions Smartly Surround Suh With Talent
Fans may argue who exactly is the franchise player for the Detroit Lions. Matthew Stafford and Calvin Johnson are possibilities on the offensive side, but I would argue that it is Ndamukong Suh because of his tenacity and performance on the defensive line. The team decided to shore up the line even further by selecting defensive tackle Nick Fairley out of Auburn with the … [Read more...] about Detroit Lions Smartly Surround Suh With Talent
Lions get 2 Pro Bowl Starters! Calvin Johnson, Ndamukong Suh
The Detroit Lions do have two Pro Bowl starters on their roster this season. This is no surprise for their fan base since they have thoroughly dominated their positions this season. Calvin Johnson has accumulated over eleven hundred yards this season averaging more than fourteen yards per catch. He is the first wide receiver in thirteen years to receive the honor for … [Read more...] about Lions get 2 Pro Bowl Starters! Calvin Johnson, Ndamukong Suh
QB Revolving Door Somehow Working For the Detroit Lions
Shaun Hill lined up under center once again for the Detroit Lions on Sunday in their quest to take down the Miami Dolphins at Sun Life Stadium in Broward County, Florida. Up until Sunday, the highlight of the stadium's history was being the backdrop for pivotal scenes in Ace Ventura Pet Detective. Now it's known as the place where Detroit won two consecutive road games for the … [Read more...] about QB Revolving Door Somehow Working For the Detroit Lions
Ndamukong Suh, being “Ndominating” in otherwise Bleak Lions Season
Let's get this out of the way now. Ndamukong Suh has the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Award wrapped up. No one else is even close. He's been one of the few bright spots in a long Detroit Lions season. (Although by Lions standards, this is a much better season than usual- only three of their ten losses have been by nine or more points). At six-feet-four and 305 pounds, … [Read more...] about Ndamukong Suh, being “Ndominating” in otherwise Bleak Lions Season
