It's the same guy in each. I could put a megapost together of this guy, if I hated myself and wanted to die.

[Mikel] Leshore for revis.....Revis can be released before training campe with no cap hit. If he likes it with the Lions, he can restructre his deal.
I don't know if Tampa would like Leshore but Martin is injured and they need to win a few games.
The Bucs would definitely pull the trigger on this trade.

What do y'all think of your teams' SB Nation sites? The Lions site is decent except for one prolific commenter who really sucks, and the occasional guy who wants them to trade Stafford and start Kellen Moore. I'm not familiar with the other communities.

I believe Stafford is an Alcoholic for many other reasons than [pictures of him drinking], but that horse has been beaten and you have “disproved” my theory. So I will not continue to bring it up. I keep it to myself now.
Don't forget I also thought Stafford was having relationship problems with his girlfriend and dragging those negative issues with him on to the field. Also “disproved” by the Pride of Detroit debate panel.
Couldn't find the original posts, but maybe that's for the best.

A lifelong Seahawks fan asks Paul Allen to bequeath his team to the Twelves posted:
Note from the author: I sent this letter to Paul Allen at the VMAC and at his foundation. I'm posting it here as well in the hope that this idea--which I do believe is a plausible one--will be taken up for public discussion. In the comments section below, I've posted a link to a petition that you can sign if you want to publicly support the idea.
Dear Mr. Allen,
Perhaps I should start with an apology. I’m sorry. You see, I’m going to ask you for a gift. Maybe it’s better described as a donation. Quite a large one, it turns out. I’m sure you’re busy, and I’m sure you get hit up for donations a lot. So again, my apologies. But I have to ask.
I have to ask because I love the Seattle Seahawks—have since I was a little boy. I loved them when they mustered only two wins during the 1992 season, and I loved them when they finally, splendidly, won it all to conclude the 2013 season.
But more than that, I have to ask because I know that my story, and every imaginable variation of it, can be told by countless others in the Pacific Northwest. Those stories can be told by people of every stripe who care—really, truly care—about our Hawks.
These are people who understand that it’s okay to love a game. It’s okay to embrace the delirious highs and indescribable lows that numbers on a scoreboard so casually deliver. It’s okay because, for most of us, it’s not really about those numbers.
What is it really about? I don’t need to tell you—you already know. I’m certain you already know because I remember the spring of 1996. I was 15 years old, and terrified. Ken Behring was trying to take something from me, from all of us. But then, you. You rallied the city, bought the team, owned it the right way, and ushered in two decades of nearly unbroken success.
I’m coming around to that big request I mentioned, but first I need to let you in on a secret: During the Hawks’ Super Bowl-winning season, I cried. Twice. The first time was just after the final seconds ticked off the clock in XLVIII, and I turned and hugged my dad, my lifelong football companion. That was a big moment for us.
The other time? Those tears welled as I stood in CenturyLink field just before kickoff of the NFC Championship Game and watched you raise the 12th Man flag. In that moment—as I screamed like I was still that doggedly optimistic kid trying to will his team to victory in 1992, trying to keep his team from leaving in 1996—I let myself float away in the unadulterated joy that your stewardship of the Seahawks has brought this region.
In that moment, the fans were celebrating more than a team. We were celebrating you, and the community to which you’ve contributed so much. We were cheering for a local boy made good, whose talent and vision put him in a position to save our Seahawks.
And it’s because you saved our Hawks once before that now, finally, I have to ask. Would you please, upon your death (many years from now, we all hope), give the Seattle Seahawks to us, the fans?
As I said, it’s no small request. And I confess I don’t have the specifics worked out. Something along the lines of what’s worked so well in Green Bay, perhaps? A trust of some kind? You have a better mind for these kinds of details, I’m sure.
But if you did this, think what it would mean. It would mean that we would never again risk losing this team that we love. It would ensure that generations to come would get to know that rare, perfect feeling of community that swells during playoff time, when the Pacific Northwest is all 12s and jerseys and Hawkitecture and knowing nods and Go Hawks!
And, for what it’s worth, it would make you—already an icon in these parts—a legend.
Thanks for your time and consideration. Whatever you decide, I will always appreciate what you’ve done for this region. Go Hawks!
Sincerely,
Kevin Coe

I kind of admire this guy.
An impressively delusional Lions fan posted:
We need an upgrade at CB, Butler,Bademosi, Lawson, and especially Jackson won't cut it.
Whoever watched the game against Dallas last night can agree the corner backs were horrendous. Lawson, Bedemosi, and Jackson. In order to defeat the Packers next week at home I am going to make a few suggestions the front office should keep in mind. We need competent corners in order to have a chance to defeat Rodgers and the packers. we need solid corners to defend Nelson & Co. I am suggesting we sign 2 veteran corners or at least one to go with the butler signing, ones who may have even retired recently. I have compiled a short list of serviceable corners who will give us a chance to compete against the Pack. The lsit is as follows: Dre Bly, Fernando Bryant, Eric Berry, Cromartie, Alphonso Smith,Brandon Browner, CB, Saints. Age: 32 , Tarrel Brown, Ty Law, Champ Bailey.
I am very serious about signing 2 of these folks up. We need players who know how to play the position.
Browner is a Quinn guy so theres some familiarity there. Seeing bailey out there would give me alot more confidence than seeinig Lawson, Bedemosi, or Jackson. This is the playoffs and division we are talking about. Rodgers would be hesitant to attack Bailey due to his legendary status. The man can still ball and knows the game very well. He would provide immediate veteran leadership.
I’m not sure why anyone would have a problem with Bailey coming in for a few weeks. He signed with the Saints prior to his departure from the Broncos. His brother played for the lions as well. He would fair better than Lawson, Bedemosi, and Jackson.
Alot of these guys are worldclass athletes that train other athletes and stay in shape. They wouldn’t need to be every down guys. We can simplify the coverage for them as zone or man. Or they can just shadow a receiver all game. There is plenty of time to learn if they are committed. It’s only Wednesday, the game is Sunday night.

He's at it again!
Same Guy As Before posted:
The SeaHawks are a very beatable team folks. However, the Lions have some glaring holes on the defensive side of the ball. Specifically our corner backs. Lawson, Bademosi, Butler... these guys simply won't cut it. They are not up to the NFL level caliber of play. My previous suggestion went ignored and like I predicted we lost against the Packers and Rodgers lit the secondary up. This time my proposal can not fall on deaf ears. I am going to quickly recommend some free agents at CB the Lions should consider signing before tomorrow game at Seattle. The list is as follows: Marcus Cooper, Jamell Fleming, Leon Hall (not sure if hes still available), Morgan Trent, Dionte Allen (CB for FSU then OSU), CORTLAND FINNEGAN, Ronde Barber, Charles Woodson, Ty Law, and Champ Bailey. Personally, I would sign Woodson,Law, and Bailey and play them all part time Vs. the Seahawks....Along with slay, these 3 men can hold their own in an NFL playoff game with a rotation and limited minutes in play. This is for a playoff win folks. We can't roll out their with Bademosi, Butler and Lawson again. Even Wilson will torch us if we do.
