Here's CNN Meteorologist Alexandra Steele's Forecast For Today's Chargers-Lions Playoff Game At Ford Field
Consider how many people are involved in the production of a simple weather forecast on CNN. You have the meteorologist, for sure, but you also have the producer who loads the "wx" into the script/rundown, and the graphics techs who run the system that creates what you see on your screen. ...
NFL Wildcard Weekend Open Thread: Detroit Lions At New Orleans Saints
The fun continues with the rare prime time Saturday game. Al Michaels and Cris Collinsworth shepherd us through another evening of football and hopefully will let us know what the penalty is for a sleeper hold. Five yards and loss of down? 10 yards and repeat of the down? Please, feel free to share...
Lions Center On Packers Fans Who Might Moon Him: "They’re Not In Real Good Shape Up There"
Says Dominic Raiola, after being asked about Packers fans who moon visiting teams' buses, "I get to the stadium too early. I don't see that. But that'd be pretty awesome to see. I don't know if I want to see any of those people naked. They're not in real good shape up there."...

Recalling The Time Bennie Blades Pulled A Bazooka Out Of His Car Trunk To Settle A Fight
Here's a nice, terrifying memory from Lomas Brown—the former NFL player who now says things on ESPN for money—regarding his former Detroit teammate Bennie Blades. Brown told Dan Le Batard and Le Batard's father today that Blades was the "craziest teammate" he ever had, and then shared this special...
Ndamukong Suh Decides Image Isn't Tarnished Enough, Walks Out On Weekly Radio Interview
Ndamukong Suh is returning from the suspension he earned with a Thanksgiving Day stomp, but he wasn't willing to talk about the aftermath (or his car accident) to Mike Valenti and Terry Foster during his weekly interview on 97.1 The Ticket, the Lions' flagship station in Detroit....
Thom Brennaman And Brian Billick Find Megatron's Possible Concussion Hilarious
Lions WR Calvin Johnson was clearly shaken up after this reverse play in the first half of Detroit's matchup with Minnesota today, but not enough to avoid getting giggles from FOX's Thom Brennaman and Brian Billick, for whom possible concussions are the height of comedy....
Ndamukong Suh Crashes Car, Introduces America To Quipster Cop
Early Saturday morning in Portland, Ndamukong Suh lost control of his car (pictured), hitting a tree, a lightpole and a water fountain. Suh was presumably spending his two week Goodell-imposed vacation at home with his family. Or cruising around Portland's "night club district" in his muscle car at...

The Lions Had An Awful Lot Of Excuses About The Wind Yesterday
You could chalk the Lions' embarrassing loss to Chicago up to many things. Turnovers, an inability to get the run game going, Matthew Stafford...but no matter how many things don't go your way, it remains all-but-impossible for an NFL team to win when the wind itself is a Bears fan. Here, some selec...
A Brawl Broke Out In Chicago
If you were watching the game, you saw this coming somewhere around the end of the first quarter, but the bitterness between the Bears and Lions finally came to a boil when a frustrated Matthew Stafford threw Bears defensive back D.J. Moore to the ground after tossing yet another interception, the...
Teams Should Probably Stop Punting To Devin Hester
The Detroit Lions brought in a new punter this week and apparently no one gave him the memo that Devin Hester is really good at returning punts. Robert Malone made the mistake of kicking it in Hester's vicinity and, well, you can see what happens from there....
Nickelback Somehow Victorious In <i>Nickelback v. The People Of Detroit</i>
More than 50,000 people signed a Change.org petition to keep Nickelback from performing at the Lions' Thanksgiving Day game, and somehow, Nickelback still won. This absolutely has everything to do with 11/11/11. [CBS Detroit]...
Detroit Lions Fans Are Next To Spearhead An Anti-Nickelback Campaign
It is nearly a proven fact by now that sports fans do not appreciate Nickelback disgracing their teams' venues with their loud, raspy wailing. The NHL made the mistake of announcing that the group would headline the Winnipeg Jets' home opener back in September, but organizers scrapped the plan—possi...
Watch Tim Tebow Get Tebowed By The Man Who Sacked Him
Here's Lions linebacker Stephen Tulloch taking Tebowing meta, striking the pose over Tim Tebow's prone body after sacking the Broncos quarterback in the first quarter of their matchup in Denver. It's like he raised an already-tired meme from the dead....
Tim Tebow's Next Miracle? Giving Matthew Stafford A Neck
From tipsters Gordon and Katrina, comes this snapshot of the Lions quarterback sans a few vertebrae. Stafford is gearing up for his showdown with the Broncos, but he may want to consider making a pre-game visit to the Chosen One. I'm pretty sure he knows a guy who's got a few spare parts he could us...
Men Whose Job It Is To Hurt Quarterbacks Chided For Being Happy When Quarterback Is Hurt
I get that Lions-Falcons was the closest thing to a matchup of two winning teams yesterday, and that both are likely to be vying for the same limited wild card slots, so we should have expected a competitive game, bordering on the chippy. But what we got—Matt Ryan getting his ankle rolled up, and ...
That Jerome Harrison-Ronnie Brown Trade Was Voided Because Harrison Has A Brain Tumor
Awful news on why the trade-deadline deal between the Lions and Eagles could not be consummated yesterday. If there's a bright side, as Adam Schefter pointed out, Harrison's tumor might not have been found had the trade not been attempted. [PFT, via @AdamSchefter]...
