Another big dude with an attitude for Detroit Lions

So...I am reeeaaalllly excited!  LIONS first pick during the NFL draft was Nick Fairly out of Auburn, a defensive tackle!  Our line is looking sweet!  He will start with Suh and Vandenbosch.  Talk about a brick wall! 

NFL Draft coming up this weekend

I'd be a lot more excited about the draft if I knew for sure we were going to have a season....please oh please let the union and management come to an agreement so we can have our season....

I can't imagine a Fall without football.....

Detroit Lions Schedule: 9/11, Monday Night, Christmas Eve

Yes, I know it is Good Friday....but please indulge me for just a second.  Ladies and Gentleman, the Detroit Lions Schedule is in....and it's a good one!

We begin on 9/11, have the first Monday Night game scheduled since 2001 in October, and we even get to rock a game around the Christmas tree on Christmas Eve when we're at our big family party, preppin' for St. Nick.  How jolly is that?

And finally....we will end the REGULAR season on Lambeau Field. 

Aaaahhhhh...I can almost smell it.....Football season is right around the bend...
