So here we sit, in the long, dreary month of June, where football news seems to lie dormant until it rouses its sleepy head in late July for the beginning of training camp.  Thoughts seem to effortlessly gravitate to the hope and expectations of the coming year, while the hoopla surrounding the draft is quickly becoming like a sailing ship on the horizon - fading a little each moment as the sun begins to set.  With every passing

The Lions released Jahi Word-Daniels on Wednesday ... Dan Graziano reports that the Rams are still the favorites to land Oshiomogho Atogwe ... The reason the Lions wait until right before training camp to sign their draft picks is because it essentially gives them extra roster spots to use during OTAs and minicamps since rookies don't count against the 80-player limit until they're under contract ... Tom Kowalski thinks it's likely that Kevin Smith will start training camp on the PUP list and

Ty from the always great The Lions In Winter ... stops by for a history lesson on Lions great Dutch Clark ... With his rocket arm, aw-shucks grin, competitiveness, surprising athleticism, and #1 overall NFL draft pick status, Matthew Stafford has often drawn comparisons to John Elway.  Stafford modeled his game after John Elway in high school and wore Elway’s #7 at Highland Park and Georgia ... There’s even a Facebook group called "Matthew Stafford Looks Like John Elway." So, how come

I will admit it, back towards the end of the 2009 season, I was hoping the Lions would somehow end up with the first overall pick yet again, even if that meant taking a loss to the Bears in the final game.  I wasn't actively rooting for a loss or anything, but my feeling was that if the Rams also lost, I wouldn't be too upset with a 1-15 record

I'm very excited to tell you all that SB Nation Detroit is one of the six regional sites that launched last night. In all, 20 new regional sites will be launched by the end of the month, and SB Nation Detroit was already one of the ones deployed ... The reason I'm so excited about this is because I am the managing editor of SB Nation Detroit. Four years ago when I founded Pride of Detroit for SB Nation, I certainly didn't think I'd end up where I am now, but this company has grown in some

Pacman Jones has expressed his hope that the Lions will offer him a chance to rejoin the NFL, but according to Tom Kowalski, that doesn't appear likely, at least not anytime soon ... Detroit Lions general manager Martin Mayhew is fond of saying he's a man who likes to keep his options open, and that's why the Lions aren't slamming the door completely shut on Pacman Jones. However, according to sources close to the situation, the Lions have no plans to sign Jones in the foreseeable future ...
