The Lions traded Shawn Rogers to the Bengals for a 3rd round draft pick && a 5th round draft pick.

Lions are still upsetting me; Come on this guy is worth a lot more then that.

They trade away players with attitude problems, but they don't seem to realize that it is the organization that has attitude problems and that these problems infect the players. They even got to Barry Sanders, forcing him to retire earlier than necessary. The crappy personality/attitude/atmosphere will seemingly persist in the Lions organization until there are changes at the top (i.e., the ownership changes--or changes its ways). Don't get your hopes up for the draft--whatever players they draft, we know they will soon be infected. Feh. Blech. Phooey.

You do know that there is a NFL Forum on Real GM to discuss all this talk.

Yeah, It's weird though; also I never see any new posts when I do get to it somehow.

He has a history of being grossly overweight, soon to be 29 years old and one failed drug test away from being suspended for a year. I'm actually surprised they were able to get that much for him.

The commishes and such really want us to lock these threads and direct them to the NFL boards, so i will do such.

The Lions board is growing. help it.

Am I really shameless enough to unlock this thread just long enough to promote my board (the Tigers board) in the same thread?

It would appear so....

Go Tigers board! They're local AND they're relevant!
