Things Just Keep Getting Better For The Detroit Lions

Wednesday, November 4th, 2009

While the Detroit Lions suffered arguably their most humiliating loss in franchise history on Sunday, there could be more of the same in the works for the beleaguered team from a beleaguered town. In the wake of the team's 17-10 loss to the (at the time) winless St. Louis Rams, ...

Is 2009 The Worst NFL Season Of All-Time?

Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009

The NFL is bigger and more popular than ever. But that doesn’t necessarily mean the league is better. There appears to be a large number of just awful teams this season. I’m talking absolutely putrid. Like teams you know are going to lose all week long. My roommate relayed a conversation he had ...

Monday, September 21st, 2009

The Detroit Lions blow. I know, shocking. On Sunday, the Lions lost for the 19th consecutive time.

The Year of The Loser

Friday, January 30th, 2009

Way back in '08, we here at Rumors and Rants proclaimed it the Greatest Year in Sports History. I know what you are thinking -- big deal. So did Sports Illustrated and ESPN and everyone else who makes widespread proclamations. Only we made the call in July. Basically, when something's up, ...

So, What Went Wrong?

Monday, January 5th, 2009

After what was arguably the most interesting final Sunday in NFL history -- The Big Lead at least had a premonition of this awesomeness, but it played out far wackier than any of us could have anticipated -- and a fairly decent Wild Card weekend, we're down the final eight playoff contestants. ...

Worst Year…Ever! We’re Not Lion.

Monday, December 29th, 2008

So Detroit Lions fans, it was a bad year. No shit, Sherlock, I know. Usually I wouldn’t give a damn about the hopes and dreams of Lions fans. I’m a Bears fan. Y’all can really burn in hell for all I could care. That’s what Barry Sanders and Herman Moore will ...
