The Silver Crush

Dynamite Kidd and Davey Boy Smith were the British Bulls Dogs in the WWF wrestling television show.  So what will we call Suh and Fairley after the coin toss in Tampa Bay when the Lions play the Bucs on September 11th.  All eyes will be on the team that lost every game a few season ago.  If the Bucs are not careful, the Lions will be in their grills like the gold and platinum caps that filled the mouths of southern rappers several years ago.  The Lions Justin Durrant and Stephen Tullock at LB's behind the "Silver Crush" D-Line will make a case for one of the sickest defenses in the North if everything goes as expected during the free agent signings and the preseason.  I would hate to see my man Josh Freeman having to face these "Thunder Cats" right out the gate, but it may happen.  All that I can say is "BOOM"!!!  Thanks John Madden...

Believe It!!!

Okay....not only do the Eagles have sufficient back up QB for Mike Vick, but they have just pull the biggest clandestine move since Obama taking down Ben Laden.  How these guys managed to sign Nnamdi Asomugha is beyond me.  I am too excited that the lock out is over.  Moves like the ones being made during this short free agency period is making me believe the hype; even after being warned by Public Enemy that I shouldn't.  I tell you what, if I was not a Detroit Lions fan I would be wearing a green and black jersey sitting on the couch right now eating a cheese steak hoagie with an extra large "pop" like Cliff Huxtable.  


For those who do not understand word "pop"....


Pop - is a carbonated soft drink. In all places outside of Detroit, Michigan, pop is referred to as SODA.  You must learn!

Keep on Moving!!!

Woah!  Vick and Young are the QB's for the Eagles; Darren Spoals goes to the Saints.  I am loving both of these moves.  Now the Eagles just need to get Jackson to camp and off of the hold-out mission he is currently pursuing.

Do the Curley Shuffle...hey Moe, hey Moe!!!

So far the biggest and boldest moves in the NFL free agent market were as follows: Haynesworth and Chad Johnson both going to the Patriots, Kevin Kolb going to the Cardinals, Reggie Bush going to the Dolphins, and McNabb going to the Vikings.  That being said, the winners out of all of this madness may be the Patriots if Chad is up to par and Haynesworth pulls it together for "The Hoody".

Kevin Colb has not proven that he is a true starter yet, so the jury is still out on him.  Sorry Arizonians! Reggie Bush may help the Dophins with their "Wildcat Offensive Sets", but who will be the quarterback?  I guess that one fell through the cracks didn't it, Jeff Ireland.  As for McNabb...I have always given McNabb the benefit of the doubt, however this franchise needs to be thinking future.  They are not going to win with McNabb right now and they are not building for the future right now either.  After wasting their time with the "Favre Era", how fitting is it that they would follow it up with the "McNabb Years".  Where is President Obama's Veto power when you need it Minnesota? Adrian Peterson is officially wasting away starting this year.  The clock is ticking on this young man because his best years are being spent behind aging quarterbacks that are still trying to find glory.  Good luck with that!!!

Lions and Tigers and Pistons Oh My!

I guess the same people that are voting on the Debt Ceiling are the same people negotiating the NFL and NBA CBA agreements.  My Detroit Lions can take advantage of this whole lockout thing.  Obviously we are on the up swing right now but there are a few holes that we still need to fill.  I am thinking that we can get some offensive linemen, a fullback, and a veteran backup quarterback.  I would love to see the Lions get Tyson Clabo on the O-Line,  Le'Ron McClain as a fullback, and veteran QB Matt Hasselebeck.  I would love to see these players put on the Blue and Silver Uni's so that we make a run at playoffs this year.

Tigers - if the Tigers are the northern Tampa Bay Rays, what are they?  I am certainly not a baseball fan but it really shows how much America's Past Time has fallen when you hear many people say, "there is absolutely no sports news from the NBA playoffs end to the NFL season start.  How can we still call baseball America's Darling?  There are certainly some great stories in the sport, but it appears that they capture the masses attention about as much as a soap opera does a two year old.

Pistons - About the only thing good pertaining to the NBA Lookout is the fact that if the season starts late then the number will be much lower in the Piston's loss column.  Now that we have a new owner and hopefully a new willingness to invest winning players, I can only hope that they can decide on a coach....RIGHT!  I guess none of that is or will be important if there is no season.  Maybe we will start watching Euro ball if all of our players go overseas to stay in shape and to keep their finances up.
