Another Pick, Week Five

What Do We Know Four Weeks Into The NFL Season?

29 Sep 2008 16:01:36 PDT

Written by Pete Treperinas
Rod Marinelli (Detroit). Another quality Matt Millen hire. Rod Marinelli will probably be out of Detroit almost as soon as he was in. Even last year after a hot start, the Lions ended up at 7-9. Two disappointing seasons, and an 0-4 start to his third, I wouldn't be surprised if Marinelli is repl...

NFL Stuff You Need To Know This Weekend

Written by Josh Zerkle
Matt Millen finally got his ass canned last week. Lions VP William Clay Ford said he would fire Millen if he had the authority, and apparently someone important took note. The ownership likes Rod Marinelli, so don't expect him to leave.

I drafted my NFL fantasy league team on Wednesday night, and I won't bore you with the details except for two things. By the end I had resorted to Isaac Bruce and the Detroit Lions defense (laugh track). And earlier, I had chosen as my backup quarterback one John Thomas O'Sullivan.

The thing is, this plan could work… if it were 2007. In 2007, the Cleveland Browns lucked out and played perhaps the easiest schedule in pro football. They feasted on freshly collapsed rivals in Baltimore and Cincinnati. They got fat off the largesse of the AFC East, which coughed up Division...

Written by Clay Travis
But what about the Lions? The Army informed the NFL that Campbell was eligible to play this fall in 2008. It’s why the Lions drafted him. Campbell himself knew there was skepticism from NFL teams about his eligibility and that’s why he had the Army notify teams of their existing policy. Now, in...
