Who in their right mind would want to play or live in or around Detroit? Clevland, Green Bay and even St Louis would be better choices and that’s a sad bunch of choices!
—————————————————-

Play there, I’ll give you that argument since the lions have been bad for so long.

But I love when people talk about living in the Detroit area. The city of Detroit outside of a few nice areas is bad. But, the metro Detroit suburbs are nice and just like any other suburban area in the USA. Google Oakland county, which is where 90% of athletes for Detroit Teams live, it’s one of the richest county’s in the USA.
And 20 minutes away is Ann Arbor, a city that has it’s own metropolitan bubble that has grown up around it with one of the most highly educated and diverse populations in the USA. Ann Arbor also consistently gets named one of the best places to live in the USA.

If I’m Bush,

With the knee issues I”ve had, do I want to play on a hard carpet? If I were Bush, I’d have the Redskins in the pole position for my services. Better chance for a longer career.

ford fields turf is way softer then real grass….

My guess is that they’ve agree to mutually wait. If Jeff doesn’t come back, then he’s probably got an informal agreement that keeps him financially involved with the team. A Stafford restructure is likely also on hold, pending a need. Why show your hand early?

Too bad your defense can’t stop a high school offense.” — ctown4life ………. Let me pick that apart a bit, my man: (1) 5 Lions CB’s each started 3 or more games in 2012; their opening day best missed 10 starts. (2) 7 Lions S’s started 2 or more games; the opening day starters missing 23 games. This team’s D just needs to get somewhat healthy and sign one decent player at each level. If that first one is Jarvis Jones, then they’ll rip it up.

Bush is just another player who knows the best team to be with is the Redskins. Classiest team, best history and best future. The Redskins were the best team in the NFL last season and they are going to be the bests team for a long time. HTTR.

This post is so ridiculous it borders on insane.

A) You cannot be the classiest team if your organization’s team name is absurdly racist.
B) Best history? Really? I’m fairly certain that the people in Green Bay, Pittsburgh, San Fran, New England, Dallas and New York (NFC) all could take issue with that.
C) Best future? Your QB, who is awesome by the way, has 1 leg. Your best WR is Pierre Garcon. You have limited cap space because of shady dealings and your owner is Daniel Snyder. Nice future there.
D) Best team? Are you high sir? You won arguably the worst division in football on the last day with a 9-7 record and then lost in round 2. Last time I checked the best team usually wins the Super Bowl. You didn’t come close.

A team whose nickname is a racial slur for Native Americans…yup, that would be my vote for Classiest team in the NFL.

We got Al and Helu coming back from injury. Best case scenario is to get Talib and RT+S early in the draft. Talib may be out of the question though.

If there were no salary cap or this was Fantasy Football, Bush would be a great fit.

As stated above, when the Defense cant stop a HS offense, lets work on that first.

Nothing wrong with shoring up the secondary and getting consistently above .500.

Then when quality FAs will want to come there and you wont have to stretch and overpay as they will want to play for a winner.
