But I got home from work tonight, and per the usual I'm checkin in on ALL the Stuff I missed in the last 9 hrs on POD!

I just got done reading Sean's reply to a question over on Cincy Jungle about how Calvin got the nick-name "MegaTron"..... That's right, we all remember, Roy Williams gave him that Dated, Stupid, CG Movie Nick-Name. I Say right now we shed the Best WR in the NFL of this Shitty, Middle School Call-Sign!

I have full faith that the Brain Trust here at Pride of Detroit can come up with a suitable New Nick-Name for the Star of our Beloved team. And we have the Power to Promote this change!!!

My Official 1st suggestion. This week Calvin will be " Ocho Uno" to me!

Oh and by the way Matthew Stafford is now to be referred to as "9". Not "shiny" (although that's funny), not Staff Infection, (although I have one), But as "9", and "9" ALONE! He's A Man, and he DESERVES it. Plus 9/10 ain't bad right?

On a Final note. I HOPE they have "Esteban" Mic'ed Up this week so we can hear him Scream "Veinti Seis!!!" When Louis Delmas Knocks the Life out of Him!!!!!         GO LIONS!!!!!!!!!

Just saw this over on the SBNation vikings site.

Looks like lots of us all over the country may finally get to see the LIONS on T.V. (Sorry in advance if you're not in the Coverage Zone.)  I Hope We can Put on a GOOD SHOW, let's make this a Statement Game.

I need more words, so if you're bored check out the post on the Daily Norseman about Nostradamus predicting the Vikings Superbowl Win. It's kinda funny....

West Coast Lions fan here. Just wondering what you guys think about the gunslingin' NFC Noris?

Who do you want to Replace/back-up Farve?

Cutler already threw 5 picks, so I guess Stafford is off the hook this week.......

Who the Hell is Erin Rogers?

Will the Metrodome, and it's archaic "AstroTurf" claim a LION knee this week?  CJ?  MS?

Shake the "8" Ball..... Yeah I've Been Drinkin',  But swing by Pride of Detroit or comment here.

LET'S GET THIS PARTY STARTED!!!!!!             GO LIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've notice that alot of the Main Page post and whatnot get  Re-Tweeted. And I love knowing stuff soon as it breaks. So I'm calling for us all to unite on twitter, (if you want to). I know I already follow @Kdawg26m, and @drewlions (among other great sources).

(Disclaimer)

I know and hope that you guys don't care if I blow that up on here, but we're down ass homies... Right?

Anyway, comment and list you twitter name (if you want to) I'll follow you, and you can follow me, if ya want.

Just a quick fanpost to solicit a QB. I'm not gonna pretend that I know enough to asses the problems or fixes with your beloved team, I can only empathise with you. And maybe offer a quality veteran QB for trade. All kidding aside, Culpepper looked good coming into pre-season, In good shape and finally healthy. (he did have a M Fer of a knee injury) And I believe he is still capable and determined to start in this league. What do you think, you want him. "Let's Make A Deal"

Over on Bless you Boys, the SB NATION Tigers site they did a "Introduce yourself" post at the beginning of the season. Turned out to be one of the most commented, and funnest post so far. Let's do the same thing here. I know some of us know each other already, but as someone who has followed this site for a while I feel this is a good opportunity to increase the commenting by inviting "everyone" who follows the Lions here to say "Hello".

I'll start, Hello my name is Jeremy, or J16941. 16941 is my PDGA (Professional Disc Golf  Association) membership number, so yeah I'm an avid Disc Golfer. I was born in GR, grew up in TC, and have been a Lions fan from the womb. I live about an hour north of San Diego now, in Temecula (So Cal wine country). I'm 29 and work as a Bartender for The YardHouse, (130 beers on tap :-)) I've been in Cali for 8 yrs now but try to make it home for the Thanksgiving Game every year. It's a good time to see the fam and catch a game. Gotta finish by saying I LOVE this site, and thanks Sean for all the hard work you put in. Look forward to meeting you all and enjoying another season of Detroit Lions Football! "RESTORE THE ROAR!!!"

Check out this clip from the new Eminem video (edited for the kiddies, of course). The part with Tiger Stadium almost had me ballin'. I grew up inside that statium, and have so many great memories there.

I know I fall for this every year, but something feels different this time around. The city of Detroit, NEEDS the Lions to succeed. And for some strange reason I am inexplicably optimistic again.

Sorry, the first posting on Youtube got deleted, here's another though. Not as good of a copy but you still get the point.
