You can be honest with us Jvanbusk did *cough* ed martin *cough* seal the deal for you. New car or anything? oh its only the kids who can play bball not the ones who know bball.

[jvanbusk]

I only wish I could get a car for being able to integrate equations and understanding the concepts behind Chaucer's, "Cantebury Tales". If only I had a 40 inch vertical, because that's whats important, eh?

Wouldn't it be nice if the Lions didn't blow it every single week?

By the way guys, I got my acceptance letter from the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts at the University of Michigan last Wednesday. Looks like I'll be heading there next Fall.

FULL BANNANA TO YOU JVANBUSK!



I guess we are now official rivals, .

Who's your favorite current Piston? Ben Wallace

Who's your favorite all-time Piston? Ben Wallace

Of all-time, which is your favorite Pistons team? Now I love this hardworking team.

Roughly, how long have you been a fan of the team?
I have always liked the team because it is the closest NBA team to my city. I liked them even more when Ben Wallace was traded to them. I have loved Wallace since he was on Washington.

Bill Parcells and Ron Wolf in Motown?

What do you guys think? I saw this yesterday on the Fox Pregame Show. I have my doubts that it could happen, but what if it did? Sure would be nice to have possibly the best coach and the best GM. I think the Fords need to do whatever it takes to get these guys in town, because they can turn the thing around. Matt and Marty have had their two years, and haven't even been able to win away from home. Let's see what the Tuna can do.

To add to all the rumor and speculation...

I heard a rumor on the radio it was one of the late night national shows that steve marriuchi wants out of san fran and he would be interested in the detroit job.

I assume we are all in agreement that the lions need to draft willis maghee if he still is available when the lions pick

[jvanbusk]

I'm in agreement with that. James Stewart just doesn't fit into the Lions offense that well. Plus, I think that the wide receivers when healthy can be atleast decent. Crowell showed some pretty good strides at the end of the year, and Hakim wasn't doing to bad until he broke his hip. Schroeder, although a disappointment, played with injuries all year. Foster showed some good speed, and Anderson: no comment. But with a year under their belts with Joey I don't see why they can't be somewhat improved. Maybe draft a receiver in the 2nd or 3rd round. Taking Rogers isn't necessary to me. Not as necessary as taking a running back that could be the next Edgerrin James or Clinton Portis.

[Brian]

Well we aren't getting mcgahee now so its either charles rogers or trade down.

[jvanbusk]

I have a feeling that Charles Rogers will be a Lion now. Not that I would hate that move, but I think there are some bigger areas we could address. Even adding a player the calibar of Jimmy Kennedy from Penn St. would help. My favorite is Andre Woolfolk out of Oklahoma. We really need a shut down corner, and he fits the bill. Not good enough to fill that #2 slot so we would have to trade down.

Looking back on the moves from last year, does anyone regret taking Joey Harrington? There are 4 quarterbacks that I count worth taking in the top 10. Cincinnati will take one.

1. Carson Palmer, USC
2. Byron Leftwich, Marshall
3. Eli Manning, Mississippi
4. Dave Ragone, Louisville

I knew this was going to happen, but I must say that I couldn't be happier with Joey right now.

[Jwick]

If the lions did take Chuck rogers at 2.....and say pick up another RB in the 2nd round......and 5 picks for defesnse and then FA.....i think the lions would still be fine.....anyone's thought on Marty staying 1 more year?

[Austin Kent]

i met the wickedest girl ever today. dang shes pretty. semi-formals are now good in my book. lol. i am giddy.

[the wall]

Brian, in reference to you saying it would be nice to get McGahee, well...after the championship game that looks HIGHLY unlikely. Gotta feel bad for him, thats a pretty bad injury....hopefully a quick recovery...Also Jvanbusk...about your quarterback ratings..
1. Carson Palmer, USC
2. Byron Leftwich, Marshall
3. Eli Manning, Mississippi
4. Dave Ragone, Louisville
...theres been speculation that Drew Henson is going to enter the NFL draft...i would have to assume he goes to the third slot just because he is such a talented athlete...what do u think?

[jvanbusk]

I think he could have been that highly ranked had he stayed at Michigan for another year, instead of looking at baseball. Now, I think he's a fourth rounder, maybe, because he hasn't played for awhile. His talent is definately there. Personally, I think he's more likely to pull a Weinke and come back to Michigan, for a year if he chooses football. This would allow his stock to rise back up and he might move back into a first round talent. But, that's just my opinion. Eli Manning is said by some to be better than his brother and his father. Take that for what it's worth, if anything....
