Brett Favre Good for the Lions

Let’s face it, everyone knew that Brett Favre couldn’t stay retired while he still had gas in the tank.  He is a first ballot hall of famer who still loves the game.  I commend him for coming back.   The fact that he is playing against a rival doesn’t really concern me either.
The Lions are not [...]

Roy Williams Wanted Out?

Did Roy Williams want out of Detroit?  He stated a number of time publicly that Detroit was where he wanted to be.  According to Drew Stanton’s blog, Roy Williams wanted out of Detroit.
Plain and simple, Roy did not want to be here any longer and was going to demand an insane amount of money if there [...]

It is official Roy Williams is a Dallas Cowboy.  I blogged last week that there was more benefit to shopping Roy than keeping him.  It is nice to be right once in awhile.
The trade details are as follows:
Dallas gets: Roy Williams & 7th Round Pick (2009)
Detroit gets: Round 1, 3, and 6 picks (2009)
This is [...]

Jon Kitna was placed on Injured Reserve by the Detroit Lions.
Kitna was held out of the past week’s loss to the Vikings with back spasms.  This injury will likely be the end of Jon’s tenure in Detroit as this was his last year of his current contract.
This will end the speculation of whether or not [...]

The biggest story leading up to this game is that Jon Kitna is out, Dan Orlovsky is in.  Drew Henson has been signed off the practise squad.  Does this mean Jon Kitna will be out the door before the trade deadline?  Considering he did not make the 1 hour flight with the team, I think it does.

KTV Week 6: Vikings

The Lions have a tough Week 6 opponent in the Minnesota Vikings.  The Vikings will look to give our NFC North basement dwellers a 0-5 record.  Who thought we’d be 0-5 going into the season?
The D-Line has to step up…
Pressure, pressure, pressure.  The Lions need to hurry Gus Frerotte and try to cause turn overs.  [...]

The Lions are off to one of the worst starts in team history and the outlook is grim.  With 2 division losses and a very tough schedule ahead, the future is not bright for the leagues worst team.
The Vikings win last night may have been an ugly victory, but it is a win.  The Vikings easily [...]

Detroit Lions Look for Overall Improvement but National Press doesn’t agree

We are at the beginning of July and all the NFL off-season maneuvering has been completed. The player movement, trades, NFL Draft, the mini-camps and the Organized Team Activities have all been completed. Now comes the lull before NFL Training Camps open in late July. The [...]

Detroit Lions could Learn from Detroit Red Wings

Your ‘Lion Eyes’ blogger remembers when the Detroit Red Wings were consistently derided nationally as the ‘Dead Wings’. They were perennial losers in the NHL. Of course that is no longer true. Now they are annual Stanley Cup contenders. The Red Wings just won the 2008 Stanley Cup and [...]

Mandatory Mini-Camp

It is once again that time of the year when all Detroit Lions fans dream of the Lions winning the Super Bowl in early February. This dream usually dies sometime during the 1st regular season game, though last year we were still dreaming until about week 10 after that 6-2 start.
