I like the Lions to play their normal 3 quarters of solid football. Vikings take the lead back in the turd quarter and the Lions win in it the 4th. Defense is on the field to stop Minnesota to secure the win. Lions 30 Skol Losers 24

But have you seen all the work they’ve done in the community this offseason. They are the developer on an affordable housing project! Who else in the league is doing cutting edge stuff like that to earn valuable tax credits for their balance sheet. They are playing chess while the rest of the league plays checkers.

Turn on NFL Network if you want to watch a guy lose his job in real time.

I wish I had a spare $88 Million lying around. Yep. That’s the number. Riley is one of the worst in game coaches that I’ve ever seen. I thought OU fans were just bitter when he left but they were right. He’s a luckier version of Kliff Kingsbury. Great QB coach that has been in the right places at the right time. He doesn’t have the makeup of a big time coach. He’s also a very overrated playcaller.

That was ugly. They got forechecked and could barely enter the zone. I expect a better plan this period.

Look ay all the empty seats in the building. The clock shows 2 minutes left in the 1st quarter.

The Raiders aren’t remotely interested in trading Crosby right now. That’s very likely to change in two or three weeks.

Wow. This is news to me.

Probably not a good idea to go down that political path with most of your favorite multi-millionaire young athletes. You won’t like what you find out. Not sure if there will be a single Harris voter on the 25 man Tiger roster.

It’s the “Wherever I’m gonna be part” that has people talking. He wants to be competing for the playoffs. The Raiders are 2-4 and at Rams this weekend. They have KC and @Cincy left before the deadline. If they are 2-7 or 3-6 they will be out of it.

No. Burfict had issues dating back to college at Arizona St and then multiple ones in the NFL. Garrett had one very bad moment five years ago. He’s been voted to the pro bowl by his peers 5 times since and was also voted the 5th best player in the league last in a player vote. The rest of the league doesn’t see him as a dirty player and either should you.

They’ve played 4 games. 2 of which were against last year’s conference finalist.

**** Yeah

Will be interesting to see what happens the next few weeks. He could easily be traded. Miami should be interested.

The cap will continue to rise every year. Those numbers will still be high but won’t be so extreme by 2026 and beyond.

With the core group of this roster under longterm deals, maybe it does make sense to start trading off future high draft picks for pieces that can get them to the top. The Rams had huge success with this plan while Brad was with them and they were contending for titles. The Lions are in a much better position than they were at the same stage regarding key players locked up for many years. Trade the 1sts and 2nds and start using later round picks to add depth and of course hit big on some future studs like they’ve always been able to do. Let free agency be an area where they let players go and turn them into future 3rd and 4th round compensatory picks instead of trying to sign big name FA that they won’t be able to afford. I guess what I’m saying is maybe it does make more sense to give up two future ones for Maxx Crosby and resign him as part of the core.

Someone else can sit in and brief him on what was covered so he can still use the information on the broadcast.

Most of these dugout seats come with access to a premium club area with a full bar and amazing food spread. I’d assume the people sitting in these home plate seats were at the game but chose to hang out inside and stuff their faces, get drunk, and try to pick up younger women like any obnoxious, Wall St. Yankee fan would. I read something today that the brand new LA Clippers basketball arena has no TV’s in the concourse and all the TV’s inside the private suites are disabled during the game to ensure people are in their seats watching the action.

One thing for all of us to remember regarding Crosby is this is the Raiders. Trying to think about what makes the most sense logically is usually the opposite of what they do. Maybe Crosby is a real possibility. Then again, maybe they don’t want to acquire extra draft picks to get their next QB.

Adams was a hired gun that didn’t work out. Maxx is the homegrown face of their franchise. I can’t see them parting ways unless he makes it very clear that he wants out.

Rob’s posts are like Javy facing a slider on an 0-2 count.

The first thing the Lions will be looking for is someone that fits the culture.
