First off congrads… all the way round! And, I wanted to put a bug in your ear for real consideration.
I wanted all to know that we can replace J.Best with Dri Archer from Kent state college and add some immediate B,Sanders/J.best flavor without the concussions while complementing M.leshore as was first planned! Check him out for yourself….http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJ6KTBV5vqk
What do you think?

A bright spot in a year of darkness. The Lions are finally coming to edge of greatness. I remember the days of the “Fearsome Foursome” and the “Mad Duck” Karras. The team is beginning to turn the culture around that we are the door mat of the league. They can say we play dirty (Chicago and the Talking Mouths of TV), so be it. It took the Pistons becoming the Bad Boys before the NBA backed up and took notice. We play fierce not dirty. Hmmm, it is strange that other teams do things and the emphasis is on the Lions. I remember that the front line of the 49′s was famous for crack back blocks. etc.
This is about the accomplishments of two great players that will go down in history as one of the great tandems ever. And a Team that will follow by their example. GO Lions

Congrat’s on all the good you do on the field and off.
Would love to meet you sometime but i know that will not happen. My two boy’s would love it too. Just to far away for us to travel being up here in Packer county.
Don’t let these ppl belittle all the hard work you have done here . Still would love to see a mock game with you and Berry could play on the same team at the same time. Hell a walk though even . Just to see two of the best ever together on the field would be great. Bet he still has it after all this time too . maybe alittle slower but who cares . Love Ya both. great plaers , great people. Thank YOU for being lions . After 50+ yrs i love the lions . not all that pleased with the losses but thats part of life and the game. GO TEAM .

The times with your father are precious for every day is memorable. Pride. Spend as much time together as you can. The best to both of you.

The lions have C.J. has Stafford but C.J. is the best of all he plays hurt and has an excellent year round training program (just like rice had) and the best person in the world and yes i would love to see him 2010 to break everybody record of amount of yards against the bears and knock them off there spot in the play off! Megatron is the best ! GO LIONS!

I have no doubts it is just a matter of time before all the pieces fit together and the wins start piling up. It is inevitable with you and Matt running the Offense. Remember, as great as you are, without a arm and talent like Matt throwing you all of those laser like passes none of this would be possible. You are re-living the experiences Barry had when he played, and became the focus of all that was good for fans going to a Lion’s game.
