Who is this general manager for an NFL team who has nothing better to do then to take jabs at other professionals under the shield of anonymity? With so many targets out there why did he choose the Lions? Is this a working GM or an ex-GM? What ever the answer I am sure he is a real loser in every extent of the word.

Wow, this is a GM that said these petty childish things?
He must have been the third grade bully on the playground.
Or. maybe he is and was the wimp that GOT bullied and needs to feel vengance?
Is the editor sure he checked the source? Is he really sure the source ISN’T
a current third grader?

With respect to the invisible GM…character to a great degree is defined by what you do when no one is looking. This GM has a fundamental gap in this area. One does not turn character off and on. GMs as any other executive and representative of their company are expected to be professional and be the face of their employer. This person fails on all fronts. I laughed when the editor stated that this person remains anonymous because he would be fired if not so.

Darn right he would be fired. I’ve been in the business world for 35 years and if one of my associates did something like this he would no longer be an associate. What his owner doesn’t know is that he has this person in his organization and over time he will discover that this GM is doing more harm than good and will be shown the door.

What an absolute loser that GM is….A real man says what he thinks and then puts his name behind it for emphasis. A coward hides behind the cloak of anonymity and then beats his chest in bravado. the guy is obviously a loser and i am willing to bet he is the GM of a losing sorry ass organization and ball team. Raiola oviously hit a nerve with this guy. I will say it straight up too…your a coward!

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. The author got what he wanted someone upset and responding. Coach says it is all noise ignore it. The talk is going to get deep in the next 8 weeks either for or against. Play well and be well is all that is asked of the entire Lions team. One game at a time, beat Minnesota.

Comments like these are obviously pissing the lions off. This team has the talant, and we are showing it 3 wins in the last 4 games, and the bears will feel the rath in week 16. When we get bob sanders back, eer Louis delmas we will be even stronger. Props to Ricardo silva for taking advantage of his opportunity. He will continue to improve. As I wrote in the roar report in July, Ashley Palmer has shown he is going to be a strong physical backer, adding debth at the linebacker position. I am also upset at the total lack of respect stafford is getting. this past Sunday he became the a member of the 10,000 , passing yards club, in less games than a 30 year old Kurt Warner. HELLO! experts he is only 24 years old. Wake up and start giving this guy the respect he deserves. In closing I do not believe a word Hub Arkush has to say. He has been a lions hater since his Chicago days. So please keep those anonymous comments coming Hub, and I will comment back in Febuary from Burbon St. Come on lions! Stay hungry.

You know you are on the right track when they attack you like that. The lions are an up and coming team. Dom is a solid part of a good offensive line that produced over 5000 yards last season. I expect them to do the same this season. Classless backstabbing attacks will become commonplace. As for Suh I continue to marvel at his raw talent and growth. Martin Mahew and Jim Schwartz have brought us hope with picks like Stafford, Johnson and Suh. The future is exciting to me. We may not be a Super Bowl team yet but they definitely are not laughing anymore.

It is interesting to me that you would make a weak player a captain. I guess Matthew would be the better one to rate his linemen. or maybe this GM is from Philadelphia where they really know offensive line talent. Just ask Michael Vick from last night. He could probably counts the blades of grass on that field. I hope the Lions just go out and take care of business in the second half of the season. That will put egg on the face of the unknown GM. Gooooo Lions!!!
