douchejammer2821, "dude the lions went 0-16 a couple years ago you suck!"

i never thought i could change, but as a Pirates fan, at some point you have to cut bait. 17 years of NOT trying to win was enough for me. i can deal with losing in sports,...it happens to 97% of teams every year, but NOT trying to win, is where i draw the line.

you can aruge that the Lions are trying to improve. they have made some strides. with the NFL being what it is, they should have a decent season in a year or two.

54 baby!

doesnt even matter about the bucs. i'd say fans in orlando are 20% bucs, 15% dolphins, .08% jaguars, 50% steelers and the rest will randomly pick playoff teams to jump on with..or talk about the gators since EVERYONE is now a gator fan when 5 years ago i knew like 3 (i've lived here 7 years now)

I'm right there with you.
I'm always going to be a Lions' fan, however, It's hard for me to get excited anymore.
I like the Schwartz as a coach, and Martin Mayhew has made some smart moves so far. But I can't help but feel like Charlie Brown lining up for a kick.
Just been burned by the team too many times.

shitty game yesterday

in lions news...
mcnabb being traded really hurts us from trading away the number 2 pick. so that sucks
hargrove signed with the saints..but a trade is still possible
and pacman rumors are still swirling. i don't care who he is. the lions have one cb worth starting. we need players. looks like they are waiting to finish the draft before making a decision

The Pacman thing is interesting, because nobody wants him, so the Lions have the upper hand in giving him a contract.
In other words, offer a contract that makes it very easy to cut ties with him if he does "anything detrimental to the team."
Maybe Schwartz and Vandenboush can talk some sense into him.
IMO- if it's handled the right way it could be a low risk, high reward situation if he plays well.

megatron

i agree it's worth it if the contract is done right. i mean... he still runs a sub 4.5 40 and is only 26 i think. i didn't grow up until i was that age. just sayin

I know he hasn't done much to help his image, but if it's clear this is a no tolerance thing, perhaps he can keep his nose clean and just play football.

Or, he can start doing his favorite things, only for charity- who wouldn't love to see him "make it rain" in front of a soup kitchen once in awhile?
