Meeting People Is Easy...
Well, either most of you took your vacations a week early, or I guess OFTOT just wasn't as entertaining as usual this week. Oh well, not the first time in my life that I was a disappointment. I mean, wait. What? But seriously guys. Tame week. I hope you're all just saving your energy for the upcoming OFTOT Training Camp extravaganza. It's gonna be a bloodbath. T-minus three days until camp. Where's my IC Light? As for Meeting People Is Easy, this week's esteemed panel is...
Boldin Speaks Volumes
I’ll try to keep it professional since these players do reserve some respect. I mean, at least Anquan Boldin came out of hiding and said something so we can get on with life in training camp from day one.  However after today’s Drew Rosenhaus inspired press conference, I’d like nothing more than to see Anquan swallow [...]
Friday Notes: Four Lions Start Training Camp on PUP List
The Lions placed safety Daniel Bullocks, tight end Dan Campbell, wide receiver Shaun McDonald, and offensive guard Edwin Mulitalo on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list. The good news is that Ernie Sims was not on the PUP list, meaning his injury isn't too severe. Detroit did still limit Sims somewhat as a precaution as you can never be too careful when dealing with your ...

Cason was the team’s final draft pick to agree to terms. He missed three days of rookie camp [...]

Last Thoughts for the Day
A few final notes for the day that R in CT and I talked out while driving back off Long Island on a day that entered in like a lion and left like a lamb …
The Kids Love Mose Schrute – I think I noticed an alarming trend among some players today … the Mose [...]
Titans Position Analysis: OLB
Now that we’ve looked at the man in the middle of many defenses, it’s time to look at the players who will be flanking him.
I feel like a broken record for saying this, but the starters at this position are quite clear: for the seventh consecutive year, Keith Bulluck if healthy will start all 16 [...]
The Favre Smoking Gun
Inspired by events beyond our control.
Here’s to the demise of the Minnesota Vikings.
All kidding aside- I hope they have the smoking gun. But I doubt they do.

2008 NFL Draft: Unsigned Pick's Fantasy Affect
Before we get to football talk I posted a picture of Lucy Pinder for a reason. I'm not sure when she started reading our blog, but as we were sitting and sharing a six'r of luke warm Tequiza at the local bowling alley and discussing our shared love of shag carpet, cialis commercials, and Doritos flavored bubble-gum, she made it a point to let me know she loved our site and I should tell the
A Stampede of Wide Receivers
Training camp is here! Pre-season kicks off on August 9th... I was just sitting around thinking about the new season. We have so many exciting rookies in camp. I think the wide receiver corps is going to be the most fun to watch. As I looked over the roster I saw that we have four rookie wide receivers competing for a job this pre season. Then of course, we have Terrell Owens, Terry Glenn (I think?), Patrick Crayton, Sam Hurd, a healthy...

Campbell to Coach Football, Hope for Shot With Lions in 2010
For the next 6 months at least, Caleb Campbell will be serving the Army by being a football coach. That's much better than being over in Iraq or Afghanistan, but it really makes me wonder why he couldn't just play for the Lions instead. I get that the ruling is what it is, but to take Campbell's shot at the NFL away to go make him coach just doesn't make sense.
What's the Deal With Dizon?
With one full day of practice complete, the Lions are moving forward full speed ahead. Well, almost all the Lions are. Aside from Caleb Campbell, who was ordered back to West Point, Jordon Dizon is the only Lions rookie that wasn't participating in practice today. It's not that he's injured or something like that, but for some odd reason he still hasn't signed with Detroit.
I don't want to get on Dizon's case too much since the details of what's taking so long aren...
Details of Gosder Cherilus' Contract
It's nice when the Lions don't have to break the bank to pay first-round draft picks.
First-round draft pick Gosder Cherilus inked a five-year contract worth slightly less than $15 million, but $8.9 million of that will come in guaranteed dollars. The bonuses will be paid out over the first two years of the deal.
Cherilus, who was the 17th overall pick in the draft, is ...
Brown deflects Urlacher?s praise back to linebacker
BOURBONNAIS, Ill. – Middle linebacker Brian Urlacher and safety Mike Brown, the Bears’ first two picks in the 2000 NFL Draft, obviously belong to the mutual admiration society.
