... hire. MAYBE, just maybe brighter days are ahead. While the stink of 0-16 will permeate Detroit next year, it’s not a bad job. Superb stadium, die hard fan base, stable (for now) ownership, Megatron, two picks in the first round of the draft and incredibly low expectations. Schwartz is going to get that thing turned around. (Pro Football Weekly)
Simmons got crushed on his picks last week, but he takes another stab at the championship round. (Page 2)

The Big Lead: An Interview with ESPN’s Scott Van Pelt Woooeee! I haven’t seen pelts buzzed like this...since Pasquinel threw a bunch over his shoulder!
