Rogers is one of the best receivers in the NFL and I believe that the Lions would not be smart if they let him go. Rogers could very easily become one of the best wide receivers in the NFL, if the Lions let him. I’m sure that if he …

Recently let go from his head coaching position for the Baltimore Ravens, coach Brain Billick is the most deserving head coach released this season. Regarded as an “offensive genius” his Ravens team managed to be among the bottom of the offensive production head for every year he was …

After a couple minutes of consternation figuring out how to actually …

After a boring round of qualifying, the Men’s Snowboard Cross semi-finals and finals race were actually exciting. Now this could capture a person’s interest.

The Detroit Lions went 0-16 last season and were considered the poster child for terrible franchises. I think that isn’t correct at all. I think the poster child should be the Cleveland Browns.
