Nope, they changed the rules in the last CBA where teams don't forfeit 1st round picks for signing players. If I'm understanding it correctly we would only lose our 3rd round pick. Of course with the new CBA coming I wouldn't be surprised if all that gets thrown out the window.

He's definitely proving me wrong, I thought he was on the fast track to mediocrity when we traded him a season and a half ago but he's still playing at an elite level. I guess playing for the Lions and more importantly Matt Patricia will suck the life out of you as a player and make you lose your will to even try to be at your best.

Dammit they should be paid the same as the men!

Tork just made up an injury so he could leave the lame AFL game early and get to one of Deuce's wild Arizona parties that he is known for.

Killian, Frank,Bey, Grant and Beef Stew starting tonight. I suppose I'll tune in for a few, atleast until they are down 20.

Is Killian playing? If so I'll watch for him. I know some have already written him off as a bust but Im still clinging to a glimmer of hope that he isn't so watching to see if there is any progression may pique my interest enough to watch till Cade comes back. Edit. Yep he's starting.

Anybody see this? I guess it happened around midnight last night and could be seen by most of SE Michigan.

I think it's unrealistic to expect the Tigers or any team really to fill all their holes in one off season(that's what she said). Their biggest needs are at SS and another starting pitcher or 2. I think that's where you start, if all you accomplish is filling those needs then I think it's still a big win. Perhaps at the deadline or next offseason we can go get a dominant reliever, an upgrade at catcher or another power bat and truly look to be legit playoff and in turn World Series threats by 2023.

Were just going for the Process part deux. Sit out all our top picks for "injuries" so we can continue to get high picks just like the Sixers did. Once we finally collect enough picks where we can compete we will unleash Cade, Killian and the rest of the brigade on the league.

Lakers lose at home to Warriors to by 7. Virtually everybody on the Lakers had a positive differential or -3 at worst except for the cancer Westbrook who was -23 and essentially lost the game all by himself but damnit we're told he's a great player cause he'll give you 10 assists due to dominating the ball all game or 10 rebounds(mostly uncontested). Most overrated player in the league by a country mile.

I always liked Dusty Baker and felt he was always underappreciated so if the Astros win I will be cool with it, seeing the Red Sox and their crappy fans suffer makes it that much sweeter. d

Nothing will be worse than the NBA playoffs this year, they started in early May and didnt end till late July. If the MLB postseason was as long as theirs we'd still be having baseball around Christmas.

Some good news to come out of last week. It appears Sewell is still performing well. Ive only watched maybe 10 minutes of Lions football total since the Tucker kick so I wasn't really sure how he has looked lately.

Well despite my post above Cade has already been officially ruled out for tomorrow's game. Id imagine a bunch of tix will be hitting the secondary market for dirt cheap any minute now.

From practice today. The fact that he is even participating in stuff like this leads me to believe it's not too serious.

I think he's a guy that is going to shoot up the draft boards the closer we get to the draft but if he doesnt and he's still there in the 2nd Desmond Ridder is somebody Id be interested in. He has the tools, mobile, good size, strong arm can make all the throws but also has some flaws that makes him too big if risk to take with our first pick. That said his flaws are something that could potentially be corrected. He has the tendency to throw without much touch, instead firing fastballs when they're not needed. Stafford and others have had that problem and many are able to overcome it. Another issue is he often times forces things and tries to do too much. Again something that could potentially be fixed.

Welcome aboard, just a matter of time before you're known just as "BBL", we love using initials around here.

The only reason I see trading for a WR is not necessarily to try to salvage this year but to give Goff somebody outside of Hock to throw to. While I personally don't think it will make a difference either way management may want to see if Goff performs better if he has a better supporting cast or if he truly is a broken lost cause.

Virtually every great qb in the league was drafted outside the top 5, from the old timers like Brady, Ben, Brees(yes I know he retired but fits the description), Rodgers and semi old timer Russel Wilson to young guys like Mahomes, Allen, Dak, Lamar and Watson. That doesn't even include this past year with Fields and Jones. History has shown time and time again that you don't need a top 3 pick to get a great qb, if you build the right situation for the QB before hand you can draft a guy that may have a flaw or two coming out of college and turn that guy into a franchise qb, particularly with the right coaching.

I can't remember if it was 2 possessions or 2 Tds but I saw a tweet yesterday that said that in every game this year at some point the Lions have trailed by that much. So for all the talk of them being better than their record its not like they've been competing from start to finish of these games.

There was a video on Twitter that James Edwards posted like a week ago of Cade participating in the pre game shootaround and he looked fine. He was taking jump shots and layups, didnt look like he was walking gingerly or anything so either they are being overly cautious or perhaps he reaggravated it since that video.

Yeah there's no way I'm using the number 1 pick on any of these QBs. If some of them fall to the Rams pick perhaps I would be open to using that on one depending on how they perform from here on out but I still think the best option is to wait for next year.

Michigan/Msu game now set for Noon. I think many thought it would be a later start but looking at the World Series Schedule Game 4 is scheduled the same day so that will probably occupy Fox's prime time spot.

BTW in terms of the draft I know Cruzer isn't a fan of Thibedeaux but God damn does he impress me. Watched the game last night and he was in the backfield seemingly every play, the numbers say he "only" had a QB hurry 50% of the plays which is phenomenal as is but it looked like even more than that to me.
