I am guessing Titus is going to see a lot of press man coverage with a few shots to the face mask off of the line. Looks to be someone who could be provoked into responding. Short fuse = 15 yards.

Is anyone tired of the words “hating” and “haters” or the phrase “hating on?”

To all the Lions fans, no one is “hating on” you. Honestly, who hates the Lions? Your team has not been relevant for years upon years upon years. This is not “hating,” this is fact. One 6th seed in the playoffs and a couple perceived bad guys on the team doesn’t mean people are starting to “hate on” you. Actually to other fan bases, the emotion the Detroit Lions draw is apathy. Nobody cares. For the longest time, your own fan base didn’t even care. There were plenty of empty seats. Stop saying people are “hating on” you.

I can’t believe I wasted this much energy on the Lions. Thumbs up and you know I am right. Thumbs down and you are just “hating.”

@ detroitrollin22:

Sadly, there are many others you left off (GB’s Mark Chmura comes to mind) , but as a Bears fan I will cut Brandon Marshall some slack only because his past problems were due to a mental disorder he is now getting help for, and he has been cleared of some gold-digger’s false accusation. To be fair, I will nominate another (now ex) Bears WR to take Marshall’s place on your list – Sam ‘I Wanna Be Drug King of Chicago!’ Hurd.

Honestly…I’m surprised Delmas doesn’t get punched more often. That guy just talks and talks, etc…

Lion haters need to remember that people that live in glass houses, should not throw stones. I would bet that over the years, there is not one team in the NFL that hasn’t had a physical altercation between two of their own players.

The Detroit Pistons of the late 80′s did these sort of things in practice all the time.

Much like Chuck Daly, Schwartz isn’t about to air laundry and keep everything “in house”.

Certainly worked out for them in the end and perhaps the same will be said for the Lions.

People need to watch the handshake incident on youtube. Jim schwarts didnt get in a tizzy over the handshake,it was whatever harbaugh said after the handshake that flipped him off. Nobody knows exactly what was said but players say that there coach was sticking up for them. So thats sounds like a normal dude not letting someone talk ill about his players/team.

Big Ben sexually assults two women

PacMan Jones gets involved with a shooting at a strip club

Brandon Marshall beats multiple ex gfs

Mike Vick runs a illegal dog fighting ring

Saints run a bounty program

Stallworth kills a man while he’s drunk and high

Rex Ryan makes foot fetish pornos

————–

My point is that every team has their own personal problems, so before you open your mouth and bash the Lions, look at the problems your own favorite team has.

P.S. I’d rather have Titus sucker punch Delmas than any of the above.

When talking about Titus Young is a tie-breaker for the playoffs, then the Schwartz will talk about Titus Young.

I think Schwartz can be a little over reactive and quite immature, but kudos to him for trying to rein in the bad behavior instead of turning the other cheek

Of course Schwartz keeps his mouth shut…. he doesn’t want to get punched by Titus.

I’m herebye begging Jim Schwartz and the Lions organization as a whole to ELIMINATE all members of this team that are not 100% focused on WINNING!

As a Lions’ fan, I guess if I have to pick between the “Hating” over all stories (large and small) versus the previous state of irrelevancy, I’ll take the former…so, bring it on folks!

Yeah, and meanwhile the rest of the league are saints…..bwahaha…….Saints. You see what I did there? I’m glad the Lions are not saints!

I’m sure Schwartzy is ticked off. You’ve seen how he reacts to a slap on the back. How do you imagine he reacts to watching a member of his team sucker punching another?

The Lions are like that guy at the bar who gets two drinks in him and is looking to get into a fight. No discipline whatsoever. I’m just shocked it wasn’t Suh this time.
