He likes a challenge...well, it doesn't get more challenging than trying to turn the worst franchise in pro sports into a winner.

He better do it in a year or else.

The Lions don't have the pick of the litter...rather they are picking up litter along the side of the road. Cunningham can't possible be worse than Joe Barry. It is funny that they go from worst defense and then hire the d-coor of the second to worst defense from last season.

Scott Linehan in line to be the Lions' offensive coordinator...solid hire if it happens.

I’ve never had a 2nd favorite team in my life, but I ran across a “Property of Lions Football” sweatshirt today and realized that as long as they are not playing the Broncos I will be rooting for them to win, so I bought the shirt. Unlike KC Paul I’m the opposite of a frontrunner.
Go Broncos!
Go Lions!

You're sporting "Bubbles" but supposedly a new logo and uniform is in the works according to Tom Lewand at a town meeting with season ticket holders last night. It was a hot topic on talk radio today...a lot of people would prefer they just go with the throwback uniforms full time and go to the old lion logo from the 60s.

The alleged new logo leaked...

It's pretty much just the same image but less of silhouette. I like the new "Lions".

Wow. A franchise that didn't completely fuck up a logo makeover, unlike, say, the Seattle Seahawks. Wait until they unveil the uniforms and the home jersey is some black monstrosity.

Larry Foote signs with Lions...
http://freep.com/article/20090506/SPORT ... -year+deal
Is he the short-term answer in the middle? He's better than Paris Lenon...I'll take it. Peterson-Foote-Sims is the best group of linebackers the Lions have had in quite a while. They're still questionable in the front four...a major key in stopping the run.
