Today is the first day of Tigers spring training workouts. The Freep's John Lowe has an interview with Jim Leyland, peppered with quotes aplenty. The most news worthy quote was Leyland talking about Brandon Inge, and saying a trade is "a strong possibility."Even though there's not all that much considered newsworthy in the interview, it brought the commenters out in force. DetFaninOrlando happens to mention one of my biggest pet peeves.My sincere hope for myself and the fans on this board is that we can truly enjoy and appreciate the Tigers this year. The danger is that there will be those that will JUMP to crap on the team this year when every little thing goes wrong.Rodriguez struck out again? Crap...Cabrera missed a ground ball to 3rd? Crap...Bonderman gave up 2 runs in the first? Crap...Grilli couldn't make it out of the inning? Crap...Jones blew a save? Crap....PLEASE keep this stuff to a minimum. TRY and enjoy the good things that this team is able to accomplish and TRY to rememb
In the quiet days of the NFL off season, the Mlive Lions forum doofs are desperate for any news that would allow them to post their accumulated "wisdom" on the site. They got their chance with the latest news regarding the courting of Al Wilson. Which is nothing exciting, just confirming what we already knew.The scarily named russthomas (I just had a chill run down my spine...BRRR) nails the Lions, and their talent issues, in one blunt sentence.The reason why the Patriots can bring in veterans is due to the FACT they draft well.Bing-fucking-o!Al Wilson would be a great fit on a good team that has few holes to fill. Then you can afford to take a flyer on an admittedly talented linebacker who's older and an injury risk. Teams that have depth thanks to their smart drafting can plug the occasional hole with a free agent. They also know one incontrovertible fact. You do not build a NFL team using free agency as a foundation.Unfortunately for we Lions fans, our moronic GM, and his on the fir
The Freep has a weird fascination with Terrelle Pryor, as they run a piece on the kid every day he doesn't make a decision. Today's cut and paste job is lifted from the Buckeyes' mouthpiece, the Columbus Dispatch.ESPN ANALYST: 'Every day that Terrelle Pryor doesn't commit to Ohio State is not good'Will the insane recruiting coverage EVER end? It's a rhetorical question, as we already know the answer. It's an emphatic, disgusting, creepy NO!Freep commenter TeeItUp agrees...Enough is enough.I still don't think he's coming to Michigan, but the coverage has got to stop until he decides.Fuckin' A. I understand in our world with totally fucked up sports priorities, Pryor's recruitment is a story. Is it a story worth continually beating readers over the head till we bleed from the ears? To sane college football fans, no.But in the strange world of recruitniks, who must get off on this like other fetishists get off on BDSM, midgets, clowns, or feet, they just can't get enough breathless covera
In a nationally televised game Sunday, the Red Wings and Ducks battled in a game played with playoff intensity. They would have played to a tie in regulation...Till the refs waved off the tying goal from Nick Lidstrom, thanks to a phantom interference call on Thomas Holmstrom. First, here are Homer's thoughts, and a breakdown of the play in question, from Mlive's game coverage..."That was a really weak call," Holmstrom said. "That cost us the game. It was just terrible."After falling behind 3-1 in the second period, the Red Wings perked up in the third. Johan Franzen's power-play goal at 6:06 cut their deficit to one. Then, in the final minute, the Red Wings, already on a power play, pulled goalie Chris Osgood for a six-on-four advantage. Lidstrom blasted a shot past Ducks goalie Jean-Sebastien Giguere with 40.7 seconds remaining.Referee Dan O'Halloran immediately waived off the goal, however. The ruling was Holmstrom made contact with Giguere, not enough to warrant a penalty but enoug
Killer Kowalski decides to nip the Roy Williams trade rumors in the bud, claiming the Lions would rather keep the legend in his own mind wide receiver. It would take "overwhelming value" in return to even contemplate a trade, as Detroit would rather get one more big season out of Williams before he bolts for free agency.Killer also claims the Lions won't franchise their mercurial wide out, and are hoping that Mike Martz leaving town will help convince the diva receiver to re-sign with the Honolulu blue and silver. As for Shaun Rogers, the Lions are much more open to unloading the rotund one for less in return.Being this is commentary from the Killer, just conjecture on his part, and not news, it should be taken with a truckload of salt.Mliver origintsi1 decides to comment on something the Killer said, but your guess is as good as mine what that might be. I think (But I'm not totally sure) it's about the Big Baby situation, but I have no fucking idea what he's trying to say. Not a clu
As it's been a couple of months since my last "As seen thru the music of" post, I've been itching to do another. You all are also aware that I was one of the few sports bloggers that actually defended, and very much enjoyed, the Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers halftime show."I'm also the voice of Lucky on 'King of the Hill!'Can anyone on Nickelback say that? Can Jay-Z? Didn't think so!" So put 2+2 together, and what to you get? Yep, another self-indulgent music post from Big Al, featuring one of my all-time favorite bands, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. (You kids out there who like the rap and the emo wanna make something it? Huh? Huh?) I've been a big Petty guy since high school, which is more years back than I'd ever care to admit, so you know I've been a fan for a long ass time.So one under appreciated group meets another, as we take a look at the team with the 2nd best record in the NBA (Though you'd never know it thanks to the MSM's preoccupation with the Celtics) Detroit Piston
I'm quite happy I was away from both the web, and the media in general, yesterday. When I logged into my Google Reader last night, I was overwhelmed by the massive amount of recruiting news in my RSS feeds. It was both disturbing and funny. Then again, the whole fascination normally sane adults have in college recruiting is creepy.The Freep has an ENTIRE section devoted to signing day. A Freep commenter named tater responds to an article detailing Rich Rodriguez's thoughts from his signing day presser.Recruiting Florida is a great thing. USF has become a sorta top-25 program by recruiting kids from Florida who didn't get serious offers from top-25 schools.The best recuiting story for this year comes from Florida:EIGHT Miami Northwestern players signed en masse with Miami yesterday. This is even better than the seven from Lakeland who signed with Florida last year. The quality is slightly higher and the players are staying home.Who has the energy or the need to track college football re
The COTD is in the wild and woolly Freep. I could have gone for one of the many trolling comments in the pissing matches between Wolverines and Sparty. But that's too easy, and to honest, going through those threads are annoying as all Hell. Instead, I went for someone who is apparently sane. At least not blinded by their over the top hate for a specific school.The comment was taken from Jon Paul Morosi's article recapping the Curtis Granderson signing, and the commenter is DetFaninOrlando. This comment stood out from the Freep's outrageous norm because it didn't bash anyone or anything, it wasn't flame bait, contained no spelling or grammar errors and was quite lucid. Amazing for the Freep!Ok, I want to hear ANYONE say this was a bad move. NO CHANCE.Good job DD.DetFaninOrlando makes a very a good point. No one thinks the Tigers extending Granderson was a bad move. Unless you are a fan of another American League team. It's rare when you see a long-term contract that's good for both sid
I tune over to WKRK, 97.1 The Ticket, as I'm not a Jim Rome guy. Thanks to that unfortunate decision, I found myself listening to some of the most irritating radio I've EVER heard. Yes, even more irritating than Rome...Scott Anderson and Doug Karsh have spent the last half hour arguing over the following...Was Eli Manning's prayer to David Tyree was a good or bad pass? I've lost part of my pitiful life listening to the most asinine, stupid and what the fuck forced discussion I've ever heard. By the way, that sound you hear is me kicking my own ass for listening to this tripe.Are things that slow in Detroit that LOCAL sports talk radio is rehashing 1 fucking play in the Super Bowl? They could be discussing something closer to home, and much more meaningful. Say the absolute rampage the Red Wings and Pistons are on, or the Tigers signing Curtis Granderson.But no! Let's not cover the 3 teams who may be the beat in their respective leagues. Let's spend the afternoon lamely arguing utter b
Michigan and Michigan State: As the winter goes along, Big 10 basketball remains a rumor to me. Though it turned out not having an opportunity to watch Michigan State somehow lose to bottom feeder Penn State was doing me a solid. By losing to both Iowa and Penn St., the Spartans are doing their damnedest to piss away a 1 or 2 seed, and a chance to play at Ford Field in the NCAA's.Spartans Weblog has already kissed off any chances at their winning the Big 10 title...I now consider our chances of winning the Big Ten title to be precisely zero. We’ve played four conference road games now–all against the bottom six teams in the conference–and come away just 2-2. We have five conference road games remaining–four of them against the four other top-tier teams in the conference plus a game against an Illinois team that easily could have beaten us Wednesday night. We’ll be lucky to win two of those five games.There's always the Big 10 tournament, right? Let's hope Tom Izzo can pull
Today's COTD is from the Little Fella's column in the Freep. His ode to the Giants winning the Super Bowl brings the Freep's commenting wingnuts out in force.The following pithy thought from kj1975 is one of the few that didn't have any of the over the top hate the Patriots tend to bring out in most internet types...Impossible? Try predictable, because that is what is was. Cheaters never win.I think kj1975 forgot about the Patriots' 3 previous Super Bowl wins. Cheaters do win, at least 3 out of 4 times.Tell you the truth, the main reason I picked the comment from a Super Bowl column was to give me an excuse to post my random and scattered thoughts about our unofficial national holiday.1. Tom Petty rocked, despite what what the majority of the blogosphere claimed. Then again, I'm biased, owning damn near everything Tom Petty has ever recorded. I'm also of a vastly different music generation, being older than your typical snot-nosed 20-something sports blogger. Your typical sports blogge
The Detroit pistons always have an habit of coming up with the best when they play against the top teams in the NBA.They have always defeated big teams even though they are very inconsistent.Dallas were routed 90-67 by Detroit and Sheed aka Rasheed Wallace scored 21 points and grabbed nine boards in a worst offensive night for Dallas this season.Dallas superstar Dirk Norwitzki was 3-18 from the field and was 0-5 from beyond the arc from where he is very deadly.Tayshaun Prince backed up Sheed with 16 points and star swingman Richard Hamilton scored 10 for the pistons who led by just 44-38 at the halftime.
With the Wolverines cagers getting bitch slapped once again, this time by a mediocre Minnesota at Crisler, 77-65, Michigan fans are coming out of the woodwork with their knee-jerk reactions.In the comment thread of Mlive's recap of Michigan's 16th loss of the season, the natives are becoming quite restless. One being BlueInSC, who is ready to give up on head coach John Beilein, and his offense, before his 1st season at the helm is over.This is the worst Michigan BBall team in years. They may have talent, but they have little desire, no vision, and little intelligence. They also don't play as a unit. I don't know what the hell Beilein is doing. He seems like an old coach who's best days are behind him... How many more years does he plan on coaching? He's on the down hill.I don't care what anyone says. I miss the Fab 5 and Fisher.This comment hits one of my biggest pet peeves, fans claiming a team has no heart. I believe the vast majority of the time fans are confusing a lack of talent f
I'm going to step away from sports for one post, much as Drew Sharp pulled a Little Fella and tried his hand at social commentary in today's Freep. His target? Detroit's embattled mayor, Kwame Kilpatrick.Today's COTD is from the comments of Sharp's take down of the mayor. A Freep reader called midnight rider posts the following thoughts about a big city mayor under siege.Time Magazine had it right back in 2005 by naming Kwame as one of the worst mayors in the US.Here's the exerpt- The Nation's Worst Big-City Mayors (in alphabetical order):Kwame Kilpatrick- Detroit: Equally at home in senior centers and hip-hop concerts, Kwame Kilpatrick, 34, inspired Detroit voters with his energy and determination when he rode into office three years ago. But a cherry red Lincoln Navigator has put a big dent in his reputation. After weeks of denying it, the mayor admitted in January that the city paid $24,995 to lease just such a car for his wife. That outlay showed what Alan Ehrenhalt, executive edit
We go back to Mlive, and Killer Kowalski's commenting goons, for today's COTD. In talking with the Rod Marinelli, the Killer reports Coach Pound T. Rock claims the Lions won't waive Shaun "I've yet to met a smorgasboard I didn't inhale" Rogers.But don't think that means Bigger Baby is off the market. The Lions are still going to entertain trade offers for the roly-poly defensive tackle. Coach P.T. Rock says it's all about getting "value" in return. As to how much trade value an obese, overpaid, underachieving, creaky kneed tackle who's one failed drug test away from an 8 game suspension has? We'll soon find out.My guess? Biggest Baby's trade value is somewhere between very little, and nil.As comment threads tend to do, they go off track. In debating Chubby Checker's trade value, the Roy Williams trade rumors came to the fore. Many of the trades proposed were on this side of ridiculous, that trading Williams would get two very high draft picks in return, say 1st and 2nd rounders.Conside
Cosmetic surgery, especially around the eyes, can be a scary prospect. It is crucial that patients looking into such procedures make sure that they work with a Board Certified Oculofacial surgeon (one who has extra training and testing in eye procedures). Now there is a highly qualified surgeon offering Detroit eyelid surgery, Dr. Mark N. Berkowitz. Dr. Berkowitz has been in practice for over a decade, has developed and is uniquely qualified to offer cosmetic eyelid procedures. One of only 19 surgeons in the entire state of Michigan to have advanced training and certifications in Oculofacial Cosmetic and Reconstructive Surgery, Dr. Berkowitz has a strong CV as well as some fabulous patient testimonials with photos.

The 24 hours of Inge on TWFE continues... But is there anything else going on the D right now?When it comes to Brandon Inge and Tigers fans, there's no gray area. It's like or loathe, love or hate. There's no middle ground. You either love him more than life itself, or despise him with the intensity of a white hot sun on the verge of going supernova.Look up "polarizing" in the dictionary, and you'll see Inge's picture.Which is why the COTD is actually 2 comments from Jon Paul Morosi's conversation with Inge from the Freep, allowing us to see the extremes of Tiger fandom.First up is densogirl, who wants to inflict bodily harm upon the Tiger that causes such conflicting emotions...Brandon Inge just doesn't get it. His emotional intelligence is that of a grade-schooler. "I just want to play; it's not fair; doesn't matter how much money I make, I just want to play everyday." Give me a break, doesn't every guy want to play every day? Everyone guy in the minors or riding the pine in MLB wou
Has there been a more boring Detroit sports weekend in recent memory? The Tigers and Lions are in a state of off season limbo, the Pistons have been off since Thursday, and the Red Wings are idle thanks to the NHL being on their All-Star break.The only sports event of interest was Michigan taking on Michigan State, as the rivalry moved from the football field to the basketball court. But that game, as we all expected, was a Sparty beatdown...The only game going on in Michigan, other than the blow out in East Lansing, was the media playing "Where's Kwame?" When the silhouette of Detroit's slick, philandering, embattled, currently in hiding mayor being visible inside the Manoogian Mansion is big news, you know there's not much going on.Let's break down the weekend that was in Detroit sports...College basketball: Sparty continued their dominance over the Wolverines on the hard wood, with a 77-62 win that wasn't as close as 15 point difference.Spartans Weblog has the game recap, and though
If there is one thing worse than commenters in internet forums, it's commenters in internet forums after a college rivalry game. Trolling is everywhere, and the subway alumni come out in force.The Freep commenters are no different. In the comments to Michael Rosenberg's column about the Michigan State beatdown of Michigan, MSU fans bait the U of M fans with the usual taunts. Little sister, Michigan Mountaineers, and the old standby, you suck!One Michigan fan stood out for his reasoned response. DTownFanInChicago realized, rivalry game or not, these are 2 programs on the opposite sides of the spectrum. What's the big deal? Everyone knows that MSU is better than Michigan in basketball. They were expected to win. Now, if Michigan had beaten MSU, then that's a story. No shock here.Exactly! What's the big deal? This game was over before Michigan even took the Breslin Center court. Sparty is to Michigan football, as the Wolverines are to MSU football. The Spartans are a national power, the
The COTD is from a Freep article quoting Kirk Herbstreit from Douchebag Cowerd's talk show. Herbie pisses off the Wolverines faithful with the following retort to Cowerd's 8 win prediction...KH: I think it's a six-win season for MIchigan next year, I really do. I'd like to see Michigan do well, but really, if you look at the schedule, you look at the quarterback situation, you look at the offense and the fact that they lost all of those players, The Big Ten is going to go through this again next year.Do I think Michigan will only win 6 games? Come on! The Big 10 and Notre Dame are awful beyond words. The Wolverines should win 8 games accidentally.But is it possible? Sure, considering the losses from graduation and transfers, along with the growing pains caused by a steep learning curve for Rich Rodriguez's schemes. I think 8-4 sounds reasonable, 7-5 being the worst case scenario.Anyway, enough about my thoughts. Today's example of how the internet allows idiot mouth breathers to fea
The Lions continue to make news thought their season has been over for 3 1/2 weeks. (Their final game of the season feels as if it was months ago, though it's only been 25 days) Between Shaun Rogers status, and Kevin Jones' knee, the Killer has been busy at Mlive.The Killer talks to Jones today, who's quite adamant in saying he'll be at full strength for the 2008 season, despite having to rehab an ACL tear that ended his season prematurely.Jones, who rushed for 581 yards and scored a team-high eight touchdowns last season, said the situation is not the same as last year and the Lions don't have any holes at running back."We have other issues (in free agency) and running back isn't one of them," Jones said. "As far as injuries, yeah. But as far as talent and getting the job done, no."Strong words coming from someone who has proven unable to stay healthy for a full season. His track record says it all. Jones has never played all 16 games in a season, and in the past 2 years, Jones has s
With Mlive perking back up today, I was able to avoid that frightful place called the Free Press forums. Thank goodness for small favors. I needed to take a scalding hot shower in order to scrub off the slimy nastiness I picked up in yesterday's short trek through Freep Hell.The Killer was rightfully called out by his acolytes for an odd article titled, "Kowalski: Giants can thank Lions." My first thought was, "Huh? What the?" Actually, that was the general consensus of the loopy Mlive crew as well, whom let out a collective, "What?"A comment by Mliver measly actually had me laughing out loud.Killer,The Giants can thank the Lions? For what, sucking?I would like to thank Craig Nall (packer's 3rd string QB). In the last game of the season, he reminded me just how bad our Lions really are.Measly says what all Lions fans are thinking. Despite what the Lions, and apparently the Killer, would lead you to believe, the Lions aren't close to being at the same level of the Giants.For someone who
Michigan and Michigan State basketball - I heard a rumor that Michigan State and Michigan both played over the weekend. But it's an unconfirmed rumor, as their games were nowhere to be found on my TV. Head to Spartans Weblog and UMHoops for their views on the rumored games I don't even know were being played.Thanks a shitload, Big 10 Network...Terrelle Pryor - Did you hear the the nation's number 1 QB recruit was in A2 this weekend?! That the future of Wolverines football hangs in the balance?! If you believe the hype, Pryor's committing to Michigan will allow Rich Rodriguez's offense to hit the ground running. (Pun intended)MGoBlog has the latest on the Pryor visit, and opines what most fans are thinking...Pryor obviously wants maximum drama and is going to get it on Signing Day.The kid definitely knows what he's doing, and is milking his recruiting for all that it's worth. Miking it to the point of annoyance, actually...Helping with the mega hype, Angelique Chengelis at the News say
It's after 11AM, and Mlive has nothing new posted on their site. The latest dated stories are from Sunday. Taking MLK day off? Your guess is as good as mine...Thus, I venture over to the Freep, and wade into their forums. Their forums are populated with commenters whom are balancing on the razor's edge between sanity and insanity. It's like moving from junior high to high school. It's definitely a scary step up in crazy when compared to the more mild mannered Mliver's. Wish me well... If I'm not back in an hour, call the authorities.I struck gold at the Freep, as the lede in the sports section is the "WVU is racist" claims by Rich Rodriguez's assistant head coach, Calvin Magee, and supported by their agent, Mike Brown. As you might guess, the comments in the Freep story are mean spirited, knee-jerk, poorly researched, totally biased and borderline racist.But one comment stood out for it's brevity (The Freep commenters write freaking novels), humor, and for being dead on point. Extra
WXYT has spend the past half hour talking Pistons. Mid-day hosts Scott Anderson and Doug Karsh are talking Pistons half assed, with only one host (Karsh) making sense, but at least they're talking Pistons.What got me going was the clueless Anderson crucifying the Pistons for their admittedly ugly, but ultimately inconsequential, loss to the Knicks Sunday night. Even worse, most callers are agreeing with his know-nothing ass. The discussion is turning into the lame, beat to death, "Pistons have no heart" argument.Couple of things...First off, I HATE the "Have no heart" argument. I DESPISE IT! It's totally subjective, not based on any facts, especially when coming from fans who only see the team from a distance on TV. How do you measure heart? How can a team that beats the Celtics on the road, the first team to have done so this season, have no heart? It's totally nonsensical claim, arbitrarily measuring the unmeasurable. The Pistons did beat the San Antonio Spurs on Thursday night, whi

If you are a Detroit sports junkie, like myself, you tend to listen to a ton of local sports talk radio. (I'm still saving my pennies towards a satellite radio) Which means you listen to both all-sports stations in town, WDFN and WKRK/WXYT. Both stations have been somewhat in flux, thanks to the massive economic downturn we are experiencing in the D.There have been firings, such as the elimination of DFN's morning show, Jamie and Brady, and the not very amicable parting between KRK and Deminski and Doyle. Then the rehiring of 1/2 of DFN's morning show, Jamie Samuelson, now going solo.There's also the scheduling of odd shows that don't fit a sports format, specifically KRK's unlistenable Motor City Mornings, which has a TMZ, Perez Hilton, lowest common denominator sensibility to it. Not exactly something that appeals to the 25-54 male demo, which I'll still a member of for quite some time.Things are getting even more interesting in the competition between the 2 stations.

The Detroit Lions are done for the season. Which means it's time for the final regular season edition of TWFE answering Mike O'Hara's burning questions!Topics include: Should William Clay Ford's give Millen a "Win or else" ultimatum, how much Mike Martz is to blame, why the defense has gotten a free pass in comparison to the offense, and just how much better are the Lions over last season?Let's finish off the year with a bang, and light this candle!Burning questions following the Lions' 34-13 loss to the Packers on Sunday and the end of another failed season:Q: What should the owner, William Clay Ford, do immediately?O'Hara: Ford should give everybody this message: last chance.That means make the playoffs in 2008, or the owner changes everything from the top down. There should be no excuses -- for injuries, poor performance, lack of continuity in the coaching staff or the personnel department.Whatever it takes to win in 2008, no matter how ruthless decisions must be, it has to be done.

With Christmas almost upon us, that means the NFL regular season is almost over. It also means that, once again, the Lions are playing out the string.Even though the games mean next to nothing, we still have to do our due diligence, and answer the latest batch of burning questions. from the Detroit News' Mike O'Hara.It's Christmas Eve, so make yourself comfortable. Let's curl up next to the Yule log, grab a cup of eggnog, and answer us some fiery queries!Burning questions from the Lions' 25-20 victory over the Chiefs at Ford Field on Sunday:Q: The Lions ended their six-game losing streak. Should they rejoice?O'Hara: No. Winning is always better than losing, and they should be happy that they won a game -- even against one of the NFL's worst teams. They deserve to feel good, to a point, but there is something about the game that should haunt the Lions for a long time.Big Al: Rejoice over struggling to win an absolutely meaningless game against the NFL's worst team after pissing away a s
BMW’s big Detroit debut will be the production X6 Sports Activity Coupe (unsurprisingly, BMW avoids the somewhat unbecoming “SAC” acronym), which will be arriving in US showrooms sometime during the second quarter of 2008. When it does, buyers get two flavors to choose from.

Now that the Lions are dead and buried, officially playing out the string, it's time to pile on the Honolulu blue and silver. The Lions blogosphere, whom can pile on better than anyone, examines a Lions team that looked like a shoo-in for a playoff spot, but are now on the outside, looking in.When it some to the Lions, there are many questions in search of an answer. Just what in the Hell happened to the Lions? Why the fold job? Was it Millen's fault? Marinelli's? Are they that low on talent? Who's coming back for 2008? Who's getting the proverbial bus ticket out of town? Why ate we still fans? Why do we still care?The Detroit Lions are an enigma that no one can figure out. But let's try anyway...At the Fanhouse, they shoot holes in Rod Marinelli's claim that the Lions DO have talent, but aren't being coached properly. I remember the Lions' spin when Marinelli was hired, that you didn't need to have the best talent around, as long as they were "Coached up" by Marinelli. Turns out, ta
With only 2 weeks left in the season for the Lions, it appears that there are just as many questions now, if not more, than when the season started. In my ongoing attempt to answer those many questions, it time for another round of burning questions from the Detroit News' Mike O'Hara.Topics include...Well, let's just say the Lions have lots of issues, and several of them are brought up during the Q & A.Let's take issue, shall we?Burning questions from the Lions' 51-14 loss to the San Diego Chargers at Qualcomm Stadium on Sunday:Q: What does that performance say about the Lions?O'Hara: It doesn't say much -- only that the Lions lost to the Chargers. It isn't a one-game question. There are bigger questions and issues facing them than one loss.Big Al: It says...You know what's coming...They are who we thought they were! In other words, the Lions are a bad team. A bad team that has given up on the season, and to make matters worse, have also quit on their coach.Q: What are the issues?O
