The breakup is over. It has been over for almost two years.á At some point we need to get off the couch, put down the ice cream and quit feeding our emotions.áá The guy wasnÆt a knight in shining armor, as was advertised.á He was supposed to take us to the next level.á Instead he used us and left us to wallow in our misery. Matt Millen just wasnÆt that into us. But ...

I can understand why the Indianapolis Colts decided to rest their starters.á What I do not understand, however, was why not pull the starters with a bigger lead.á Not to take anything away from the Jets, but this was a mismatch.á There is no way I pull Peyton Manning out with a one-score lead with almost an entire half to play.á Matter of fact, IÆm going for destiny.á It may be ...

I'm going to keep this post short for the simple fact that sometimes words just get in the way. I read a stat here that completely blew my mind. Bryant Johnson has gone 9 straight games with 2 or fewer catches. How does that happen? How does the receiver opposite Calvin Johnson have less than 18 catches over 9 games? To put that into perspective, Brandon Marshall caught ...

á It's pretty obvious by now isn't it? The Detroit Lions do not know how to win. We don't need to decipher the Da Vinci Code or the Kryptos structure at the CIA to figure that out. The team seems hell-bent on reminding us of the fact. But here's the problem fans have to deal with: One doesn't learn to win until learning to lose. Sounds dumb doesn't it? Who wants to learn to ...

Oh, what it's like to be a Lions fan. What a maddening thing when you live in a world of high draft picks and low scores.á When management consistently misses on can't-miss prospects and possible late-round gems turn out to be polished coal. One gambling man would figure with just the numbers and law of averages, this team would strike gold at some point. We did.á Too bad it was almost 20 years ...

OK, so you're upset. Your team just lost to the winless Rams, which is inexcusable. I get it. I really do. What I do not get, however, is the reason Matthew Stafford is the point of that criticism.á He went 14-of-33 for 168 yards with one pick.á Those are not good numbers, but what did you expect?á He barely practiced and his receiving corps looked to be made of butter.á I counted ...

Four games down, 12 games to go.A quarter of the way through the season and what have we learned?Hmmm, Matthew Stafford is better than we (read: I) first believed. He has gotten more efficient with each game, with his passer rating increasing with each game. Also, Stafford has managed to cut down on turnovers after the horrific first two games. I honestly believe he will play Sunday against the Steelers. ...

Lets see if I this analogy works. Ever heard of the guy who meets this great girl? This girl is loving, but guarded.á She has this huge wall built from past relationships.áAlthough, the guy knows she loves him and wants to be there for him, he also knows she is scared he will hurt her like the men before him. Well, the Detroit Lions are that guy. The fans, on the other hand ...

WTF? All the other questions have been asked.  Why did we draft Stafford? Why isn't Culpepper starting (my personal favorite)? A tight end at pick 20? In the first round? Really? All of those have been answered in some form or fashion; New face of franchise, the future is now, yes, uh huh, you got it. But the question I have is: "WTF?" WTF happened at halftime to change the whole demeanor of the team?  The Lions ...
