You may have not seen the Lions game, but you probably felt it
DETROIT4LYFE —
If you live in Detroit, this is the Lions game you didn't see today:
Yes, the Lions were blacked out again in Detroit, but you probably felt this:
This was like sifting through a pile of poop. Lions lost to the formerly known as 0-7 Rams. I'm still trying to decide if it was on purpose because they don't want anyone touching their 0-16 record, or if they're actually this bad. To me, any progress the Lions have made this season was put on a major standstill after this embarrassment of a loss.
That was a "Follett Hit"
Outside the Boxscore —
During the most-exciting matchup of the Detroit Lions and the St Louis Rams, Rams wide-out Danny Amendola was returning a kick and was almost seperated from his body with this nasty special teams hit. Lions linebacker Zack Follett was the guilty party with the hit and well to put it bluntly, Danny Amendola got "JACKED Up!" (Courtesy of The Big Lead) ...
Best Hit of the Week, Hands Down
Larry Brown Sports —
Zack Follett. Danny Amendola. Awesome hit. Must watch:
That’s what happens when you put an aggressive, rookie linebacker who was a 7th round pick desperate to make the team, on special teams. And that’s what happens when he gets a clear path to a much smaller, rookie returner. Ouch. Talk about living a car crash, yeesh. Maybe they should have stuck Follett on defense to try and stop Steven Jackson considering nobody else on the Lions was able to. Oh and by the way, there might be a quarterback controversy brewing in St. ...

Detroit Footballer Makes Impressive Play

Sure, my favorite football team has only won two of their last 31 games and just lost to a team that had lost 17 straight games, but goddamn, they can sure as hell light up white guys on special teams. Take that, Danny Amendola!

Follet fallout
Turf Show Times —
Detroit's Zack Follett hit on St. Louis Rams KR Danny Amendola turned heads in strip mall sports bars in every city in America this weekend. Even fans at Chili's were rendered stupefied by the melon-thumping crush of the hit.
Unfortunately for the Rams, the helmet-on-helmet hit ended up handed Amendola a highlight reel concussion, Amendola being the skid row kick returner/wide receiver that's become one of the few bright spots for a team woefully bereft of bright spots. Take another look at the hit.
Will Zack Follett get a fine for that?
It's a pretty tough ...
Watch Out for Zack Follett

A quick note to returners who play the Lions in the future: keep your head on a swivel and make sure you keep an eye on where Zack Follett is at all times. If you don't, this could happen:
Follett's hit was one of this week's Sprint Can't-Miss Plays, and it has led to the discovery of this hilarious picture from 97.1 The Ticket:
There's actually an entire page dedicated to Follett on Karsch and Anderson's section of the website, and it is definitely worth checking out. As we quickly found out after he was drafted by the ...
