A Three-Man Front Is A Late-Game Defensive Formation For Suckers
The weekend, as I watched the absurd denouement of the Northwestern-Michigan game, something struck me as familiar — beyond the now-routine bumblefuckery that inspires the Wildcats to turn fourth-quarter leads into triple-overtime losses. No, it wasn't simply that Michigan drove in the dregs of game...

Calvin Johnson Is Football Drugs
Forget about Dez Bryant's sideline meltdown. Forget about Matt Stafford's comeback and the spontaneous brilliance of his fake-spike-turned-touchdown. Forget about the lily that Peyton Manning keeps painting. Yesterday belonged to Calvin Johnson. Hell, every day belongs to Calvin Johnson....
Even Matthew Stafford Didn't Know He Was Going To Fake That Spike
In 1994, as Dan Marino hustled to the ball and motioned for a spike to stop the clock, he at least nodded to Mark Ingram to be ready for a pass. Matthew Stafford didn't tell anyone he had a game-winning sneak planned, because even he didn't know he was going to do it until he reached the line of scr...

Lions Shock Cowboys With An 80-Yard Drive In Less Than A Minute
With 1:03 left in the fourth, Calvin Johnson had accrued 290 receiving yards, sixth-best in NFL history, but the Lions were still losing 30-24. Over the next minute, a ridiculous game would get even more ridiculous, with Detroit engineering an 80-yard drive to shock the Cowboys in the most entertai...
Calvin Johnson Is Ridiculous
Calvin Johnson has 290 yards on 12 catches as of writing this. The Dallas Cowboys have 254 yards of total offense. Even when Megatron's double-covered—or sometimes triple-covered—he still does the seemingly impossible. Matthew Stafford's love of passing gives Johnson the ability to do amazing thing...
Louis Delmas Gives Up His Pet Gator Because It Scares Kevin Ogletree
Lions safety Louis Delmas had to part ways with Mojo, the six-foot-long alligator that lives in his basement. Mojo's gotten too big to care for, but more than that, Delmas has a new roommate: teammate Kevin Ogletree, who isn't keen on living under the same roof as an alligator....

Dancing Joseph Fauria Has More Touchdowns Than Calvin Johnson
With a three-touchdown game today, Joseph Fauria deserves more recognition. He now has five TDs this season; Calvin Johnson has four. There's no reason why Fauria shouldn't be stealing more of fellow tight end Brandon Pettigrew's snaps. Oh yeah, he danced again for his third score. Enjoy....
Joseph Fauria Scored A Touchdown, Which Means He Danced
Joseph Fauria, our favorite undrafted rookie, caught a one-yard TD pass from Matthew Stafford, so he naturally busted a move. Fauria only has five catches this season, which seems unfair, considering he's six-foot-seven and succeeding with his limited looks. Please continue to find Fauria in the en...
Report: Lions Center Was A Dick To The University Of Wisconsin Band
It appears that Dominic Raiola, the starting center for the Detroit Lions, is a huge dick.

Bears Believe Former Teammate Gave Lions Their Defensive Calls
Reggie Bush was preternatural, racking up 173 all-purpose yards. Maybe it's a case of a team finally figuring out how to use him. But Chicago's belief that former Bear and current Lion Israel Idonije was feeding Detroit their defensive schemes would certainly explain some of it....
