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 ...

Although there has been talk that Kevin Smith will start training camp on the PUP list, Jim Schwartz wouldn't be surprised if he was ready to go by then ... Tom Lewand had lunch with Roosevelt Barnes, Ndamukong Suh's lead agent. A deal still is not imminent, but at least the two sides are starting to talk ... Last season we all got to see just how fiery Jim Schwartz can be on the sidelines, so imagine what he would have done if he had been involved in the Armando Galarraga/Jim Joyce situation
The reason the Lions are not in the cards for free agent safety Oshiomogho Atogwe is because of how much money he is asking for. Atogwe's play on the field is something the Lions are most definitely interested in, because he would be the answer to the question of who is going to start at safety opposite Louis Delmas.

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
The Lions released Jahi Word-Daniels on Wednesday ... Dan Graziano reports that the Rams are still the favorites to land Oshiomogho Atogwe ...

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.

Yes, yes, this blog is in hibernation, but, Confession. Listening to Judge Groner dress down the Boy Failure just now? Kind of a turn-on. Just wanted to throw that out there.
