We now have several NFL blogs on WordPress.com. A very cool setup! (...)

Saint’s Season Tickets Sell Fast
Saints set franchise record for season-ticket sales. Does this have more to do with drafting Reggie Bush using the 2nd pick of the 2006 NFL Draft or Huricane Katrina’s impact on the city? (...)

Goodbye Joey
The Detroit Lions signed quarterbacks Jon Kitna and Josh McCown this week, which should mean they’ll be shipping Joey Harrington elsewhere. Finally some new coaches who can see where some of the problems start with this team. (...)

Super Sunday
More like shitty as far as the Super Bowl went. I didn’t see the National Anthem, but I heard it from the other room and I swear my ears started to bleed. The refs continued their string of horrible calls in the 2006 playoffs by screwing Seattle out of a touchdown that anyone could see was not offensive pass interference. (...)

Orange-Out
Orange-Out planned for the Detroit Lions home game this Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals. (...)
A Sporting Thanksgiving
As posted previously, I attended a few professional sports events over the Thanksgiving holiday. Last Wednesday (Nov. 23) my parents left Rogers City bright and early. I’m not sure why they came down so early, but I wasn’t too happy that they interrupted my Xbox 360 time since I had just hooked it up the night before. (...)

Wings, Lions, and Pistons
My Dad, brother, and I were planning on getting some tickets for the Lions Thanksgiving game this year, so I’ve been keeping an eye on eBay. It looked like it was going to be at least $300 for 3 tickets to the game, and those aren’t even for the good seats. Yesterday I found a dream come true. There was an auction selling 3 tickets to the Detroit Red Wings vs. (...)

Football Replay Systems
Each weekend, millions of people tune in to watch college and NFL football. The game of football is played at a fast pace with referees making crucial decisions about penalties, ball spots, turnovers, and scores. There isn’t a human being in the world who can make these split-second decisions without making a mistake now and then. In come the replay systems. (...)

Madden? Excuse Me?
John Madden will be moving from ABC to NBC after this year. John Madden is the best analyst in the history of the National Football League and, in my opinion, the best analyst of any kind in sports television history. Dick Ebersol What did he say? Is there anyone out there who actually enjoys listening to John Madden? If so, please raise your hand so we can all throw rocks at you. (...)

Making Moves
The Detroit Lions have been busy working the free agent market. Yesterday they signed Jeff Garcia to a one-year deal yesterday and earlier in the week they signed Marcus Pollard and Kenoy Kennedy to contracts. This is definitely going to be a playoff year. (...)

New Faces in Detroit?
Jeff Garcia and Kurt Warner have their eye on the Detroit Lions. Garcia would be a nice pickup, but I hope the Lions steer clear of Warner. (...)

Super Bowl Weekend
My Super Bowl weekend couldn’t have started out any worse. On the ride up to Rogers City I hit a porcupine and it cracked up my front bumper. I’m going to try to get it fixed without replacing it. I talked to one of the body shops back home and they said they would be able to take off the bumper, grind it down, and glue it. Roughly $300-$400 to have that done. (...)

Roaring Road Lions
The Detroit Lions are 3-0 on the road this year after going two full seasons without a single win away from home. Too bad they’re only 1-2 at home. (...)

The Running Game
Joey Harrington was Detroit’s leading rusher today against Green Bay. That won’t win you ball games. (...)

Undefeated Lions
The Detroit Lions have started the NFL season 2-0! I said before the season that an 8-8 record would be a good turn around and I’m sticking to it. It really hurt them when Charles Rogers went out for the season again, but Roy Williams is stepping up. Keep your eye on this team…the next few years look very promising. (...)

Detroit Lions - 2004 NFL Draft
As I settled into my chair yesterday at noon I wondered how the Lions would fuck up the 2004 NFL Draft. They had the #6 pick and could possible get TE Kellen Winslow or S Sean Taylor (both from Miami) if they were still available. Taylor was picked just before them at #5, so I thought Winslow was the lock pick when the Lions were put on the clock. (...)

Super Bowl XXXVIII
The Super Bowl is today, but I’m not all that thrilled about it. I’m not a fan of the teams, but I don’t hate them either. I would have liked to see Payton Manning and the Colts make it to the big show, but the cold New England weather did them in against the Patriots. I guess I’ll root for the Panthers simply because they are the underdogs. (...)

Mighty Lions
Yesterday the Detroit Lions set the NFL record for consecutive road losses with their 24th in a row. I looked at the box score and they had a total of 106 yards on offense! These guys are supposed to be professions? The best in the world at playing football? I’ll continue to be a fan, but holy shit do they suck! (...)
