The Detroit Lions fired offensive coordinator Mike Martz on Wednesday. Today, I get a press release from the Lions saying O-line coach Jim Colletto had been promoted to the OC position replacing Coach Martz who “will not be returning to the team.” That’s a nice way of announcing […]

It was supposed to be their year. Detroit Lions fans, the team, the media — everyone was pretty much tired of losing football in the Motor City. And this was their year. The pieces were in place, the predictions made. Then disappointment hit. Again. I spoke with wide […]

Happy Halloween! Or not, at least for Detroit Lions QB Jon Kitna. This story is so stupid, I had to post something about it. Besides, it was the only thing I could come up with that had a Halloween theme.

It was the kind of game the Detroit Lions used to lose as they put together one of the worst six-season stretches in NFL history — with at least 10 losses from 2001-2006. Even after last week’s loss to the Eagles, I was left wondering. Are these the […]
