This is the sort of player Brad Holmes / Dan Campbell drafts .... https://sidelionreport.com/2023/05/06/college-decision-colby-sorsdal-sold-detroit-lions-drafting/ Also, HT is full of sh*t. Amon Ra St. Brown did not sit out his team's bowl game.

Liar. Remind everyone what bowl game Amon-Ra St. Brown sat out of, please. He was with USC in 2020 if that helps. Please look it up for us. Thanks.

The Lions likely get the Rams. SF will be resting starters but if they still beat LA anyway and the Packers beat the Bears, the Lions get Green Bay.

It was a careless whisper.

Lomas Brown says he loved playing the game and would do it for free. What they paid him for is the training, the rigid diet, the film room, the rehab, the limping around the living room each Monday and such. Thatβs the attitude I would want in a player.
-
Rest starters vs Minny, except CJGJ, Houston, and McNeill who could use a tune up if they are available. Staffordβs Rams are playing well, theyβre likely to be gifted a win as SF also rests starters, they may even be in a position to rest their own starters, or even tank to face the lesser opponent, but the Lions have a much more complete team than they do. Its the scrambling type QBs that give the Lions more problems than pocket passers.

This is where I was at the start of the season and am back to now. But going into that Baltimore game after a string of double digit wins, I was thinking Super Bowl. The last good win was the Raiders game, then the lull where we lost 2/5 to the Bears (2), Chargers, Packers, and Saints. Beating Denver and Minnesota and having this outcome in Dallas has tho mojo back. Detroit outplayed Dallas but didnβt get the W. In a rematch, Dallas has more to fix than Detroit. For Detroit, CJGJ returning should help reduce secondary issues.

14 FSU starters and 7 backups are pieces of sh*t; hopefully the Lions draft none of the players who bail on their team and piss on their school in the bowl games. The other 31 teams can divvy them up. Fock off quitters.

Sweeping criminal justice reforms in Illinois have had "overwhelmingly negative" effects
Voltaire replied to seafoam1's topic in The Geek Club
Feeling pretty confident. People say this is a down year for Alabama, whereas this is supposed to be as good as Harbaugh has had at Michigan. Sadly, I'm not as well versed as I would normally be in the position by position matchups to offer any real insight. If they can't win after gift-dodging Georgia, its on them. Michigan seldom plays Alabama, the only time I can remember was when they had Shaun Alexander and we handled them. I do wish Nick Saban had never left Michigan State. -

Maybe now Illinois is like California and we can help ourselves to anything we want without paying. -

He should be a Lion... ... but by trading down they got both Gibbs and LaPorta. So I guess they're the only team that passed on him that didn't hose themselves.

I've been busy since I have had to scramble with a lot of last minute BS to deal with. My plan to attach a trailer hitch to my SUV blew up when I learned the rear end of the car had been in an accident and could not support a trailer hitch. Cosmetically it looks fine and mechanically otherwise is good but I needed to find a plan B and settled on renting one of these and see my stuff in 8-10 days: https://www.uhaul.com/UBox/?utm_campaign=uhaulsm&utm_source=blog&utm_medium=ubox&utm_content=20140202-howmanyseatsare Aparment is rented, taking the family down early in the morning, not going to be online much in the near future but the next time you hear from me, it'll be from Florida. It's late December and winter has still not arrived in Detroit. Its been nice and mild this whole time. I'm amazed at how Autumn has been hanging around longer than ever.

I stopped trying, but have long been open to it.

Botched coin toss? Another one in this lifetime? I hadn't thought it was possible untilJerome Bettis and/or the officials that day couldn't get on the same page. Now we have another?

I told about how I was finally moving to Florida in the morning and watched the first two games but I didn't actually post until Baltimore/SF.

NFL vs NBA TV Ratings: Who had the highest viewership on Christmas Day 2023
Voltaire replied to edjr's topic in The Geek Club
They stopped kneeling but the BLM inspired slogans are still in the endzone. The Lions had one of the wokest teams in the league, but are under new management with hardly anyone is left from that era. It also helps that the Lions have a compelling team for once. Unlike Comrade Stafford, Jared Goff never knelt while he was in LA during the height of the BLM bullsh*t.. He did put his hand on the shoulder of a kneeling teammate though, so mixed signals, as opposed to an Alejandro Villanueva-type middle finger to wokeness. -
Me? Really? It was all in the morning and late in the evening. Not going to have much time in the next few days.

That was a weird Chiefs / Raiders game. Chiefs looked awful and the Raiders won with gawd awful QB play. Hopefully Giants/Eagles follows the same trajectory. As for 49ers/Ravens, barring injury, we'll see likely them both come February.
