The Texans signed Laken Tomlinson to a one-year deal. I was floored to learn he was still in the league.

I’m not as convinced. I think the Lions are the clear top dog right now. The Vikings were exposed to end the season, and will be starting an effectively rookie QB. KOC is undeniably a good coach, but top to bottom the Lions have a better roster. Jordan Love looked like a pumpkin to end the season, but the Packers will be dangerous. Chicago is Chicago, and they won’t worry me until they can demonstrate an ounce of reality to their yearly hype train. The Lions have won the division twice in a row now, went 6-0 in the division last year, and it feels like their crown to lose going into 2025.

Quickly turning into one of the most overrated players in the league. Never in a million years would I give him that kind of money.

The style of play demanded by the Lions defense (and thus the corners they covet) is naturally going to demand more sticky coverage, which is naturally going to bring more penalties for DPI and Defensive Holding. It doesn’t really concern me. And no, y’all can’t quote me on this the first time I’m pissed at one of them for getting called for DPI.

Over how many free oil changes he can get!

I think most of the guys who are signed today go for close to their asking price. Later on is where negotiations really come into play, and that's where Holmes seems to excel.

I'm guessing they tried to re-work the deal before releasing him. He was the best of a lot of bad options at the trade deadline, and brought a great personality to the team, but he was conspicuously absent when it mattered most, both against Buffalo and Washington. I do expect them to address the position twice more this offseason, once with a free agent and once in the first two rounds of the draft. They need to lock up Hutchinson first though. Crosby and Garrett are just driving his price up right now.

8th time’s the charm. This is a Moseley type deal. Unlikely to mean anything.

Yes! During a past weight loss, I had a Planet Fitness membership, and it worked for a few months, but there was no accountability or personal drive to maintain. Doing the classes has been a game changer. I’ve made a community of people from widely different athletic backgrounds, but I enjoy going, and it’s been the difference.

I’m just seeing this weeks later, but when I lived in Ann Arbor I once had a crazy neighbor call code enforcement on me because I had two cardboard boxes sitting next to my trash can. Three days before trash collection day. I saw the code enforcement guy taping a sign to my door so I went out to talk to him and made a new friend. We talked about the Lions for 10 minutes and then he said he hated his job but it paid well. Fair enough. 🤷‍♂️ Now I live in the middle of nowhere in Monroe County and no one bothers me. Bliss.

I’ve battled weight my whole life, lots of yo-yoing. It was psychological hell in the latter part of 2024, where I was stuck in this vicious mental cycle where I wanted so badly to lose weight but couldn’t get past the mental block of thinking it was just too much and I was incapable. Finally, October 18, 2024, I started calorie counting. I can’t tell you why that date, I just took the step. I didn’t tell anyone, not even my girlfriend of two years, for a month. I joined a local CrossFit gym in December, and it absolutely Kicked. My. Ass. But I kept going back. I was 312.4 on 10/18. As of this morning I’m 260.6. Down 51.8 pounds. I’m not sure my end goal, but I do think saying I lost 100 pounds would be cool. I’ve told a few people. Thought I would share here. 🙂

This is part of it too. Everything will sound like a lot in relation to our reference, which is past contracts under different cap structures.

Feels like a lot for a player that struggles to get home on a roster where’s he’s behind both Anzalone and Campbell, but what do I know.

Not knowing the difference between ‘who’ and ‘whom’ is the biggest crime in this tweet.

Didn’t Brad already kind of shoot down the idea of bringing in a big name at edge during his Combine interviews or presser?

I'd be cool with it. It doesn't really seem their style, between DJ Chark, Josh Reynolds, and Tim Patrick, they seem to prefer a cheaper, short-term, lesser known, possibly injury prone option for WR3 as opposed to the Calvin Ridley, DeAndre Hopkins, OBJ types, of which I would put Adams. But I don't see a problem with it if they can afford it.

I think Levi does on a one-year deal. He’s earned it after last year. He might test the market, but I have a hard time seeing anyone giving him a long-term deal. Less sure on Iffy. I’m sure they’ll make him a short-term offer too, but he might have more luck on the market and/or want to leave anyway. It’s a crowded defensive backfield as it is, between Kerby and Branch. Iffy is pigeon holed into a slot corner spot unless one of them gets hurt.

Does Ohio State need a cornerback coach?

Both the Raiders and Giants would be the 2009-2020 Detroit Lions with Matt Stafford. If his goal is making another run, he's better off staying put.

Successful day. I'll be in Section 131 Row 5 next season.

Today is the most underrated important day of the year for Season Ticket Holders: Seat Relocation Day! Will I sit next to criminally insane people again next year? Will Ford Field construct a Tiger Stadium style pole directly in front of the seats I choose? Most importantly, when we win the NFC Championship next year, how far of a run will it be to take down the goal posts?

I just want to know what "some semblance of an answer" means for a question that sounds like it would have a fully correct answer.

Sounds official.
