Detroit Lions 2011 Season: Game by Game Breakdown
I am tired of tv pundits and radio talk show hosts throwing around win totals and predictions without going into detail before throwing out their opinions. Sometimes a reaction from the audience seems to be more important than giving an informed take on things. In my previous Lions blog, I went into the high hopes surrounding the Lions for this upcoming season. What follows … [Read more...] about Detroit Lions 2011 Season: Game by Game Breakdown
