Re: tOfficial Detroit Lions Thread: Sheila ain't fucking around

[Travis of the Cosmos]

Do I feel confident in that bet, yeah I guess. Would I watch the game feeling like that money is already in the bag? Absolutely not

[The Pantry]

Back up QB looks good so far. Lions might win this one.

[The Pantry]

Posted too soon. Boyle got picked off.

[The Pantry]

Bullshit hands to the face penalty. It's like the refs have been trained over the years to call everything against the Lions.

[The Pantry]

William Clay Ford has been dead over 7 years. Never did anything for the Lions except buy them.

Time for the Lions to get rid of the WCF initials on the jerseys.

[Turtleneck]

They should have kept Caldwell, I guess. He was average, which by Lions standards is exceptional.

[Motown Spartan]

Turns out Sheila is fucking around.

Doubtful that will happen as long as the family owns the Lions. The Bears still have George Halas’ initials on their jerseys.
Speaking of selling, Pete Thamel says Mat Ishbia offered to buy the team but Sheila said no. Too bad.

The Lions are worth around 2.5 billion. Ishbia is worth around 9 billion. Not sure how much higher he would go or what it would take for the family to say fuck it and cash out.

That 2.5 billion is not even the league average. It’s near the bottom of the list. I’d have to believe any investment would be a long term financial windfall for the guy. Even if he over paid now.

These numbers keep growing and it’s wild. I remember Tom Monaghan paid about $50m for the Tigers in the early 80s. Then Mike Ilitch paid $85m for the team a decade later. Earlier this year, Forbes listed the club’s value at $1.26b. That’s a pretty decent ROI.

Yeah it's crazy and makes me wonder if the bubble will ever burst. I think I posted this before but for comparison when George "held up" MSU for a raise in 88 the base salary was 275k. And people were outraged. Mel Tucker now makes that in 2 weeks

Pretty funny the Lions are valued that highly. They've produced very little since the 50's.

I haven’t looked at nfl tv ratings, so I don’t know if interest is increasing or not. However, if football can’t get control of the CTE problem, it could be an issue in the next 10-20 years. Don’t forget how Okemos HS couldn’t even field a full team this year. Something like that needs to be examined like a canary in a coal mine. Wait, let’s Swill that up: Like a canary in a cold mine.

I would argue they’ve produced nothing but frustration since the 50s.

One easy way to increase NFL ratings is to add a team in Syracuse.

My oldest played at EL from 99 -2003. He was an undersized kid and took a ton of big hits. ( Delivered a few as well). At the time, I never really worried about it. It's football and he was a tough kid. Knowing what we know now, I'm not sure I would have let him play,

6 year old grandson LOVES football and I really don't want him to play.

Yup, I always lowered my head when I ran, but tried to stop after seeing a friend break his neck. Who knows what harm, if any, was done? But I always lowered my head when I ran, but tried to stop after seeing a friend break his neck. Who knows what harm, if any, was done?

Barry was fun to watch. Think many around the league would agree he's the GOAT.

Help me out if the bears score a TD here the Lions have a chance if they just get a first down, the game is over

So…… why on 3rd and 4 do I see safeties 9 yards back here

lions +11.5?

No

[Other Teams Pursuing That]

Broncos -10?

[kingstonlake]

Over 42?

[MSU addict]

The Lions are missing most of their secondary due to COVID/injury and almost 20% of their roster. The Lions have no real incentive to win, but that is a lot of points.

[DWags]

Over 42?

Is that for Denver only?

[MSU addict]

Over 42?

Is that for Denver only?

If Denver had a QB, maybe. Denver has one of the better defenses in the league, so I don't see the Lions scoring much. If I had to choose, I would take the under.

[NigelUno]

Broncos -10?

Yes

[Floyd Robertson]

No Lions going to the Pro Bowl for the first time in 12 years.

[NigelUno]

Broncos -10?

Yes

Update?
