Someone dug up a textbook at the middle school in Texas that a young Stafford attended, and there's his 7th grade autograph. Yes, it makes us very mad and very old that he was in middle school in 2000. More »

In sports, everybody is a winner—some people just win better than others. Like the Detroit Lions, who won the weekend by not being friends with Tom Cruise. Detroit City is fixed! More »

Jim Schwartz had a bit of fun at the expense of the future of the Lions. He showed the whole team some vacation pictures, and then he said: "I thought I had a fun vacation - until I saw this.'' More »

Clearly, these photos were taken far from Detroit. If you have any more information — where Stafford is, or why he's not surrounded by the Detroit Lions — let us know. That's all for now. Petchesky Fantastico is here tonight. More »

Yes, Stafford is now with the Detroit Lions. And who can blame them? They totally had the other team winning the 2008 Capital One Bowl. I'd boo too. More »

The tension building around the first overall pick has been punctured with anonymous sources for, I think, the 312th straight year. We know that Matthew "Matt" Stafford will be the Lions' guy. More »
