It sucks that we already have a statue at first cause if Jung is reliable with balls that are hit in his range but just doesnt have the ability to get to balls out of his immediate vicinity than a better 1B may beable to cover for some of those issues but with Tork that obviously wouldn't be the case.

Id also question Urban's desire to come to a place where he knows he is going to be behind Michigan, OSU, Penn State and now USC just in his own conference for recruits and resources.

The reports I read say that he makes all the routine plays so if that's true making the routine plays and not making any major blunders may be good enough in other managers eyes to be worthy of the award in High A since his counterparts may not even be able to do that. Or in other words his defense may not translate to the MLB level but is more than fine for High A.

Miggy in 2016. Just a pathetic drought, particularly when you consider the rabbit ball and rise of HRs throughout the league. Oh well Tork only needs 2 more now to put that drought to bed.

I saw just saw a thing on twitter that said that CJGJ asked Lions fans to wear blue ski masks to the game the other day and apparently amazon has now sold out of them so it should definitely be a crazy environment. Also we are getting Fox's number 1 broadcast team with Burkhaldt, Greg Olsen, Erin Andrews and Tom Rinaldi.

I don't know what the outcome is going to be for this game but one thing I am pretty confident in is that I don't think the Lions are going to be looking past Seattle or anything like that. If they do end up losing or even worse laying an egg and getting blown out I'm sure some people and the media will say things like that but I don't think that will have been the reason why.

Staying put and taking Carter was definitely my option A at the time but one thing we have to keep in mind is that assuming they didn't take him due to off the field concerns those concerns aren't likely to show themselves early in his career. The questions were about his motivation or being lazy, you're not going to be lazy or unmotivated in your first NFL game, we'll have to see how he performs game in game out throughout a long NFL season(s). But yeah if he plays anything like he did this week teams including the Lions are going to regret passing on him.

Jobe starting in the regular season finale for the Seawolves on Sunday. Don't know how the AA playoffs work but Erie is in them so he may pitch there as well. Either way I wouldn't be shocked if he pitched in AFL this year since he hasn't thrown that many innings.

Either do I, I was sorta being tongue and cheek since I know the Lions have no interest in trading him but Im also curious to know if there would be any legit interest and what they would be willing to give up if there was.

Wonder what they would give for Teddy?

On a side note in regards to the Rodgers injury is that now GB will only be receiving a 2nd from the Jets vs. a 1st rounder if he played 65% of the snaps. That is a little bit of good news for the Lions.

Achilles tear has been confirmed for Rodgers.

Memorizing Edwin Jackson and Octavio Dotel's teams is an immaculate grid cheat code.

The low walk totals has been the most pleasant surprise for me. From what I could gather from reading articles about him though is that it sounds like it's more control then command along with just having wicked stuff that maybe more advanced hitters won't offer at, we shall see going forward.

Don't have access to all PFF grades but saw the 5 highest and lowest and I couldn't believe that McNeil was our highest graded defender and 2nd only to Vaitai overall. I remember him making a stop in the backfield sometime in the 2nd half and that was the only time I recalled hearing his name called.

Gibbs forced 6 missed tackles on only 9 touches. Insane!

You get your rare Alex Rodriguez, Griffey JR. and Chipper Jones here and there but for the most part number 1 picks in baseball haven't really been world beaters so I don't think there would be anything wrong with your number 1 pick "only" having a 125-130 rc+, even at 1st base.

The happiest non Lions fan is Chris Jones. I think we just made him alot of money.

Talking heads pre game "Mahomes can win with anybody" Talking heads after Lions win "Mahomes really missed Travis Kelce, this game would've been totally different if he played."

Hell yeah Lions!!!!

Love going for it but don't agree with the call or not, should've just gave it to montgomery.

Paschal makes a play!!

Williams get's tackled by the safety there but Montgomery makes him miss for the TD.

If I'm KC I'm going for it here.
