Rod Marinelli : The Eternal Optimist
“Who wants to look at a leader who’s a grouch or a pouter? There’s too much of that here anyway, isn’t it? Too much around. So when things are bad, a leader’s supposed to step up and lead from the front, and that’s what I’m going to do.”  ...

If You Got To See It, You Probably Wish You Didn’t See It.
In a nutshell, Culpepper was a mixed bag, at times looking sluggish and fat yet delivering flashes of brilliant execution. It was exciting for about 5 minutes…

Go Figure; Culpepper Will Start On Sunday.
It’s official Culpepper is the guy that will afford the Lions the best chance to win. Riiight. So we dig him up and throw him in the pool to see how he swims. Who are we to judge, right? We haven’t seen him play so I suppose we should allow him the opportunity to leave it out ...

This Loss Fit Like a Glass Slipper
It just felt… natural, y’know? It’s not new to us that the Lions will lead for a sizeable portion of the game and give that up in the 4th. It’s also not new that the Lions actually controlled their own destiny with 5 minutes to go, only to end up 4th down and a ...
