Michigan is in the Frozen Four with a loaded roster. Really excited to see if they can win the National Championship.

I was really disappointed to see all USFL games will be played out of one stadium in Birmingham, AL. I was hoping to go to the Panthers home opener, but sadly there won't be one this year.

This is awesome, things are looking up for Detroit. We better have a 1st round pick for 2024.

HELL YES!!! Can't wait for this!

Whatever happened to the whole conservative doctrine of "peace through strength"?

Maybe this is an ignorant question to ask, but would Xi allow Putin to use a tactical nuke and disrupt things in the global order that catastrophically? I ask about Xi because it seems fairly clear that China is Russia's biggest customer outside of Europe and the disruption that Putin using a tactical nuke would cause to world economics and energy markets, including China's, would almost certainly be colossal in size.

I was a kid when this rivalry was white hot. After the brawl we all talked about it at school for weeks and weeks.

Of course Willis looked amazing at his Pro Day, lots of guys do. He looked amazing in a highly controlled environment. An environment with no defensive hands in his face, no one trying to bring him down to the ground, no having to look off multiple receivers downfield, no one playing at NFL game speed, and no having to change the play at the line. He had a 61% completion rate in college, was never asked to do anything complex as far as offensive playcalling goes, consistently threw the ball to the first read, locks onto a target and doesn't go through progressions, and hasn't shown a high football IQ where he can make split second adjustments and call the right audible at the line. I don't know what his football IQ is, he could be a Russell Wilson or Payton Manning for all I know, but I suspect not based on his colligate performance. The changes and "audibles" he does make are largely to get himself out of a tight situation with his athleticism and scramble his way out of it. As other mobile QBs have proven, you can't just scramble your way out of every situation in the NFL. These are not audibles where he's reading the defense, deciphering the right play to call and making the adjustment at the line with his teammates. If you could just plug in an athletic, mobile QB then over the years the Tyrod Taylor's, Mike Vick's, Vince Young's, Mike McMahon's and Johnny Manziel's of the world would be MVPs season after season. I love the physical tools, I love the cannon of an arm, I love the freakish athleticism, I love that he looked amazing at his Pro Day. I suspect all that falls apart during an actual NFL game and what you're left with is a mobile QB with a big arm, subpar decision making and average at best accuracy. Your left with a stronger armed Jalen Hurts or Tyrod Taylor.

I know by 08 we all as a collective fanbase probably wanted Millen gone but I remember just screaming at the TV loudly after the Cherlius and Dizon picks. I had read through online mock drafts and had seen Cherilus mocked in the late 1st and early 2nd rounds I think, so I at least knew who this guy was. I hadn't seen Jordan Dizon mocked in a single draft and remember screaming "who the f*** is this bum" at the TV when Millen picked him. Once ESPN showed his stats and I saw that he was a 5'11, 220 OLB I was done and turned the TV off and didn't watch the rest of the draft. I think with Tabor he is both too slow to cover NFL WRs and just not good at press or man coverage. There isn't anything he does well and he doesn't have the speed to compensate for it by at least keeping up with the guys he's running with, so he gets beat either way.

I lost it when Millen drafted Jordan Dizon. Millen had just wasted a pick on Gosder Cherilus and after he picked Dizon I couldn't watch the rest of the draft. That 2008 draft class, outside of the running gag of Andre Fluellen always returning and getting Cliff Avril, was a nice cap off to Millen's terrible drafting record.

Very Similar to Rashan Gary's RAS numbers . . .

Amazing he has lasted in the league this long for as poor a player and as slow as he is.

It's probably another one year deal, so in the long run of building this team, it is likely meaningless. If he turns into a rotational pass rusher, which Patricia refused to use him as, then great.

He's talking tourney now, but Hatchett did bring it up earlier.

It is not, Jarrad Davis is indeed back. I don't know why because the guy isn't any good and I thought was let go for a reason.

Pride of Detroit: Detroit Lions re-sign former 1st-round pick Jarrad Davis

I hadn't realized that terrible human being and former Detroit Lions Ministry of Propaganda Bill Keenist was hosting a radio show about football now on WJR. Keenist is probably one of the last people on Earth, sans Matt Millen, that should be hosting a football show like this. I'm going to call in one weekend, assuming they take calls, and bitch to Keenist about his takes and ask him to change them. Just like he tried to do when he wanted radio hosts like Valenti, Regnar, Henson, to either change their views or be fired.

I'll give it a listen for sure. I can probably count on all my fingers the number of HipHop/Rap songs I like and would listen to with any regularity, which shows how much on the outside I am. Stan by Eminem with Dido is probably my favorite tune. Others I listen to include Mocking Bird and Beautiful by Eminem, Dear Mama, Changes, Keep Ya Head Up by Tupac, Mind Playin Tricks on Me by Geto Boys, Hypnotize by Biggie.

When you drink all that Coke, diabetes becomes a real problem. Seriously though, glad he is feeling better and got out of the hospital. I wouldn't wish illness or death on anyone, whether I like them or not. Rest up Justice Thomas.

Tony Louge has a new country/country rock album out called Jericho. Really love the the track Calloway County. This is what a solid country tune should sound like. It's too bad FM radio won't come within a 1,000 feet of music like this.

I love this! I had not heard of Cody Christian yet but loved his song Canary in a Coalmine. I thought this was going to be a cover of the Police song by the same name but it was not. Good tune.

I was so "shocked" Clarence Thomas would do something like this that I spit my coke out when I initially read this story.

I did a mock with no trades and tried to be semi-realistic. I'd be thrilled with the first 3 picks if the real draft played out this way.

At least Jimmy Carter's daughter is likely a smart human being when he sought advice.
