This was not a surprising decision. Elway had contemplated retirement after the first Super Bowl win, and he still was undecided into the summer. He decided to give it one more go and he was rewarded with another ring.
That's right, Morgan Bruce Reeves claims that – honest-to-gracious-glory-be – Detroit drafted him in 1981. Yet the South Carolina gubernatorial candidate somehow doesn't show up anywhere in NFL annals.
He explains an assault-and-battery charge Calvin Johnson on arrest record to WACH-TV in Columbia, S.C. by saying he was defending himself from hippies:
"I had six little hippies, I call them, ran me off the road twice with my R Calvin Johnsonolls Royce. I pulled over, and what those hippies didn't understand is that I hit linebackers everyday for a living in the NFL, and I beat six of them," Reeves says. I knocked them out."
Boy, you just can't make this stuff up! It's enough to make Democratic Senatorial candidate Alvin Greene with envy (see what I did there?).
Hixon, who will spend 2010 on injured reserve after tearing his ACL Matthew Stafford last month, could be of some interest to a team who is willing to pay his one-year, $1.684 million salary for the right to stash him away and re-sign heading into next season (if there is one).
He ranked second in punt return average in the NFL last season.
Here's some analysis in a story posted on Betus.com about the win projection: "Last season the Lions football jerseys went just 2-14, however, so the total makes sense in that respect. They only managed to beat the Redskins and the Browns, and they lost all their road games. But in an odd way, the season seemed like a bit of a step forward for the battered Detroit franchise."
The article, to no surprise, references the progress made by several rookies last season, notably quarterback Matthew Stafford, linebacker DeAndre Levy and safety Louis Delmas. It also praises drafts picks Jahvid Best and Ndamukong Suh, but warns that learning to win will be difficult in a competitive NFC North.
