80 to 1?
So that is like saying there is a chance, right?
If they play 80 seasons then the Lions would win it all 1 time? One time? Really? That is awesome!
Can they play 80 seasons next year, because we have waited for like forever, you know?
That would only be 1,280 games. That is a lot of Ford Truck ads for the Ford Family. Not that anyone buys a truck anymore with 4 buck per gallon gas.

Jon Kitna is at it again. He is calling for 10 victories, but for a different reason.
No, Jon is not crazy. Well, maybe a little, he did agree to play for the Detroit Lions. Nobody made him do it.
This year Jon is calling for 10 victories, because that would mean they are in the playoffs and that would mean they are more than competitive. That would mean a very successful season for the team.
Just as he did last off-season — and again earlier this year — Kitna …read more

Why do we all think that later on we know better?
Let us go on record here. Your intrepid author wanted Calvin Johnson last year. Still do.
My friend, RonB, actually beat the drum for Adrian Peterson. Did he know something the rest of us didn’t? Maybe. Ask him.
Of course, it is easy to look backwards and say you should have picked the Lottery numbers that won.
Oakland, in my estimation, would …read more

Hey, looks like the foot injury for Kevin Jones ended up in the removal of the foot?

Well, maybe they got one right this time, but the Lions still need to find a running back and defensive end.
The Detroit Lions cut Kevin Jones and Kalimba Edwards.
The 5-foot-11, 228-pound Jones missed the start and the end of last season with foot and knee injuries. He has played four pro seasons, all with Detroit.
Jones has 750 career carries for 3,067 yards and 24 touchdowns. …read more

Ok, where is the Top Ten?
Sorry, Squibster is a little under the weather and in danger of being fired by the wife after a tough Valentines evening.
She took it well, but who knows.
Anyway, the USA Today Sports Staff in their Sports Scope article highlighted 6 coaches on the hot seat.
Ok, where is the Top Seven?
Your gallivanting author added the seventh. My comments will be in italics.
1. Brad Childress:
A five-game winning streak down the stretch may have saved him from the ax this offseason. But Childress must hope that stud RB …read more

Jon Kitna in his typical position
The Lions, the freaking Lions, they are enough to drive even the most saintly person in the world stark raving mad.
Gandhi once blew up and hit someone, because of some bonehead thing the Lions did.
Now they are at it again.
The Lions have named Kitna the starter for the remaining two games and said he will be the starter next year.
We wait the announcement that Jon is the starter for the rest of his remaining life.
How can one sports franchise just be so consistently stupid all …read more

The return of the Squibster. Now the good and the bad. The good is that my most excellent boss and coworkers filled in quite nicely and that is most appreciated.
