Lions SUCK!!!!!

[Revvy]

There was an interesting discussion about Michael Vick yesterday on the Ticket.

But thank god...someone in the organization is still sane;

Lions have no interest in Vick | detnews.com | The Detroit News

 

[Glubki]

Got a link to the original story? I see Culpepper and a blurb about Mike Furrey being pissed that he got let go.

Hot off the press....

[ohiobrewtus]

The Lions are expected to announce new uniforms and a new logo for this season. The team is being quiet about the changes and officially has no comment on the issue.

Here are some mock ups from a guy who has done work for the Ford family in the past:

This is certainly coming though. Everything at detroitlionsstore.com is drastically reduced. Some stuff by as much as 80%. Even when you suck as bad as the Lions do, you don't have a sale like this unless you're trying to clear inventory to bring in new stuff.

I've never seen a uniform more appropriate that the Lions' throwbacks, the plain blue and silver ones. Couldn't have said "Semi-Pro" any more than they did!

A turd with fresh paint on it is still a turd.

 

[mmb]

This is an OPPORTUNITY! You can pickup both the away and home jerseys for $20 TOTAL!

Of course, it's Kitna's jersey.

pffffft... they'll surpass last year's win total by 200%, easy. How many teams can say that?

I hope they do, but im not holding my breath.

Isn't 200% of zero still zero?

I want to say something witty as a retort to this statement, but nothing comes to mind...


Oh wait, they won me some beer from YOU.

 

[Flyin' Lion]

Isn't 200% of zero still zero?

See, nowhere to go but up.

 

[BooneDocks]

See, nowhere to go but up.

ok, let me be more optimistic -- 400% of zero

 

[ohiobrewtus]

Isn't 200% of zero still zero?

Yes.

How sad is it when a 2 win season is a drastic improvement?

 

[the_bird]

Technically, a single win next year is an infinate improvement; you can't divide by zero.

Just think, there's no team in the league with more potential for improvement!

Any expansion teams in the pipeline?

I think that calling the Lions a team is easily the most loose definition of the word possible.

 

[ohiobrewtus]

Here are the new uniform and logo changes. They're quite subtle. I like the ones that I posted earlier much more.

 

[Homercidal]

I saw the leaked photo on freep.com. Good thing the splash in the background is not part of the logo!

I am not a fan of the font, although I didn't care for the old one either.

Well, it's maybe slightly better than the old one and the improvements on the graphic are nice.

 

[Pharmguy]

Yeah, its better. Im sure the new uniform will ensure atleast 2 W's this season.

 

[schweaty]

I agree with Ohiobrewtus, the logo on page 29 and uni's are way better. That logo at least looks more modern, where the old lion with a few white lines is pretty pathetic. I hope they are going to try harder on the field than they did on the "new" logo and jerseys.

 

[Flyin' Lion]

Apparently, Goodell wants to extend the season.

http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/blog/sh...-season-is-about-to-get-longer?urn=nfl,150196

Now it could be possible for the Lions to beat their record for most losses in a season.


EDIT: WTF, Yahoo won't let you hotlink now?

 

[ohiobrewtus]

YAY, 0-18 here we come!

 

[BooneDocks]

Before last season, I bought a Lions hat at a garage sale for 50c -- thought I got a great deal. After the season, I felt like I was ripped off. And now I need one with a new logo at $20 retail? Sure.

 

[the_bird]

YAY, 0-18 here we come!

And you thought things couldn't get any worse than last year!

 

[Homercidal]

As long as it doesn't interfere with the hockey season they can do whatever they want.

 

[HoppyDaze]

Nah, ya hold on to the "old school" hat so noone mistakes you for a bandwagon fan.

 

[Dude]

Maybe a new logo will help.

Apparently the new Lions logo got leaked a tad early. It looks good.

[capcrnch]

The new logo is a joke.
If that is in fact, the new logo. (It still hasn't been confirmed)..

The text "Lions" is retarded looking.

I like the fact that they've added some accents to the lion, but come on.
This team needs aggression. They need an aggressive logo too. "Bubbles" just isn't doing it anymore.

Bubbles. Ugh.

 

[BooneDocks]

Well, at least their logos will look speedier.

 

[ohiobrewtus]

I think I just threw up in my mouth a little:

ProFootballTalk.com - Stafford Telling Teammates He’ll Be A Lion

 

[eriktlupus]

oh no not another effin QB!


goes and cries in his beer for another season lost

This guy makes so much sense that it's almost scary:

[eriktlupus]

i think i'd make the same arguments as to why we shouldn't draft a QB this year or next maybe(unless mccoy or someone of that caliber falls in our lap of course).

Ohiobrewtus,

I was looking at my "referral links" on the DraftTek blog this morning and saw this. I have to thank you for not only linking my article but also the kind words.

Hey, do you make beer too? Because I already declared Ohiobrewtus the smartest football guy in the room that brews.

I can change my mind.

Sadly, I do not. I do love beer and have had a fair share of home-brewed beer. I live in Minnesota in a small brewing community though with about 50 crappy micro brews at every gas station. I miss Michigan beers.

You're quite welcome. I read that this morning and it has everything dead on. I check drafttek.com daily to see changes. It's one of, if not the best draft related sites out there.

Oh, and put Josh Freeman on your don't draft list in the 2nd. The Lions don't need Culpepper Jr. They're going to suck again this year so they'll have their pick of Bradford, McCoy or Sneed next year.

Sweet... so my title is safe.

We're no drafttek.com, but we did a mock of our own that's wrapping up now if you want to take a look at it.

I, of course, did not take Stafford for the Lions at #1. I'm with you on Curry for all the reasons that you state in your article. It's like you stole that right out of my mind.

In the same respect, Drafttek.com is no Home Brew. The site is "based" in Alameda, CA so I can only assume that wine would be the drink de'jour at DraftTek HQ.

@ Freeman: I don't like him either but he was someone the Lions "kicked the tires" with and (although I don't think its viable he slips to the 2nd) if he's there at #33 I think he'd be BPA.

My motto has always been...pick the best player at a position of need. Period. Don't let talent outweigh need or need outweigh talent. Its a combination. Freeman @20 would be need overcoming talent (as would Stafford @1) at #33 I like the pick.

I personally would like to see both #20 and #33 traded in order to pick up a bevy of picks in rounds 2-5 and future considerations.

@Your mock draft: Just considering the Lions, obviously I love the Curry pick. Vontae Davis I think I would get behind but he has question marks. I don't know enough about our secondary coaches but Davis is definitely a guy who is raw. I do love me some Ziggy Hood though, I think he's going to be a great player.

He'd certainly be considered, but do you think there's more value in Freeman at #33 or shoring up the defense with a guy like Alphonso Smith or Ron Brace? (looking at today's version of the dt mock)

This is ideal. Depending on how the board falls, I think that it's entirely possible that someone want to jump up to #20. I also think that they could be in prime position to trade out of #65 when day 2 kicks off. There's always someone who slips to day 2 that shouldn't.

Thanks for taking a look at our mock, and let's hope that Mayhew doesn't freaking draft Stafford.
