I only care about the Lions so I'm going to post all this related or not.

Go Lions.

Aaron Rodgers is a fraud. His own family hates him.

Vince Young signed with the Riders. I am going to go see him play and if I see him, I'm going to hug him. Just like he instructed me to.

Aaron Rodgers has the most punchable face in sports. You just look at the guy and your gut reaction is just to lay him out. He can't help but look smug.

Aaron Rodgers has alienated every family member and friend in his life, except Clay Mathews.

Playing without Decker is bad enough, having Dahl in at LG means we probably aren't winning this game. We didn't have a good chance before, but it's going to be ugly with the left side of our line being turnstiles.

I don't mind Caldwell and his coaching style can win in the NFL. Unfortunately, it doesn't lend itself at all to "unstoppable death machine football." More like "Squeaked out another win by a score."

The Lions consistently start games falling behind by two or three scores. Caldwell and JBC. continuously call lovely, throw away plays to "control the clock" while down 10-17 points.

The run game is always poo poo and Stafford has to hold onto the ball to make plays with his arm. Defenses are just pinning back their ears and loving blasting him.

Other teams make adjustments all the time but the Lions lose old man Ngata and they get destroyed by the run, forever. The last several weeks, the defense has had plays where only 10 men are on the field including red zone plays. This past week they had a play with only NINE players on the field.

This entire coaching staff is loving poo poo and needs to go. Fire them all right now. Let Stafford run the offense drawing plays on his hand. Defense can do whatever, since they can't even put the right amount of players on the field and fall for every read option and play action anyways.

gently caress them. Let's never run or punt again. Let Prater try and kick 75 yard field goals and go deep to Galloday and Marvin Jones for the rest of the plays.

Detroit Press is having fun:

Yet almost every week, Caldwell – and his offensive coordinator, Jim Bob Cooter –virtually straight-jacket Stafford to start every game then wait until they’re desperate to let him loose. It happened again Sunday in the third quarter, when the offensive brain trust dialed up a pass-heavy series in two of the first three series.

Both led to touchdowns.

The odd series of those first three: Run. Short pass. Run. Punt.

That last run was emblematic of the Lions’ hardheadedness. On third-and-1, the Lions asked Theo Riddick – whose specialty is catching the ball in space – to bulldoze up the middle. Behind a receiver – Kenny Golladay – who’d motioned in from the edge and tried to act as a fullback.

Hockey doesn't enforce its own rules, which reduces the impact skill has on the game and reduces offense. It would be like if football stopped calling holding and pass interference or basketball let defenders do whatever.

The goaltender is also one of the great equalizers in sports. You see an 8 seed make a run, good chance a goalie is standing on his head.

I remember 97 when Dallas was a better team than the Oilers in every way but goaltending. Cujo stole the series.

My favourite pass this weekend was Mitch comfortable in his pocket scanning both sides of the field before opting to pass to a guy for 2 yard gain and Warner gush about his poise.
