Mixed feelings all around today. The Wolverines and Spartans gave the two of us respective life only to witness what all knew was inevitable - the Lions are still the Lions. Look, we were only hoping for 8-8 this season, so all is not lost, but giving up 56 to an 0-2 team never feels to good on Monday morning. At least I&#39;m not hungover for once.

He has now lost 4 straight games, while giving up an average of 5.5 runs per contest.

However, as is with the ebb and flow of baseball the Cubs eventually cooled off (thanks to the ...

And after careful consideration, several thumb blisters, a brick of Skoal, a few hangovers and about 100 some games played...I&#39;m taking it all back. Yup, Madden 2008 really isn&#39;t that special. Aside from the updated rosters, it&#39;s basically just the same game all over again...and it&#39;s far from ...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;stangable posted 8/22/2007 from ghostsofwaynefontes.blogspot.com &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Find more top sports news, videos, and blogs on BallHype: &lt;a href="http://ballhype.com/nfl/"&gt;NFL&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://ballhype.com/general/john_madden/"&gt;John Madden&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://ballhype.com/nfl/reggie_bush/"&gt;Reggie Bush&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://ballhype.com/nfl/carlyle_holiday/"&gt;Carlyle Holiday&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://ballhype.com/nfl/san_diego_chargers/"&gt;San Diego Chargers&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://ballhype.com/nfl/ladainian_tomlinson/"&gt;LaDainian Tomlinson&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://ballhype.com/nfl/indianapolis_colts/"&gt;Indianapolis Colts&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

First up is the all too vital QB slot and I&#39;m the navigator. Anyhow, the QB situation in Fantasy Football can always be a tricky one. Technically speaking, Peyton Manning has traditionally been the lone QB selected in the first round, for obvious reasons.

	<title>Calvin Johnson will Fix the Lions.</title>

	<description>&lt;p&gt;If ever there was reason to get excited about a Detroit Lions football season it&#39;s Calvin Johnson. Sure, I know we&#39;ve been excited once or twice before; Charles Rogers, Joey, Mike Williams and so on. However, I can safely say that I am more than confident this thing won&#39;t end in disaster. And these clips should give Lions fans more than enough reason to not lose sight of the optimism. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;stangable posted 8/21/2007 from ghostsofwaynefontes.blogspot.com &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Find more top sports news, videos, and blogs on BallHype: &lt;a href="http://ballhype.com/nfl/"&gt;NFL&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://ballhype.com/nfl/detroit_lions/"&gt;Detroit Lions&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://ballhype.com/nfl/calvin_johnson/"&gt;Calvin Johnson&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://ballhype.com/nfl/charles_rogers/"&gt;Charles Rogers&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://ballhype.com/nfl/mike_williams/"&gt;Mike Williams&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
