Rooting against the Home Town Team

Many Detroiters are finding themselves actually preparing to cheer AGAINST their home town Lions this Sunday as they play against the San Francisco 49ers. Reason being that if the Lions lose again in week 3, they will not only be 0-3, but also will have lost to former Lions Offensive Coordinator, now current San Fran O-Coordinator Mike Martz. Martz of course was run out of Detroit last year as the reason they were so bad.

The Detroit fans are thinking that this may FINALLY be the nail in the coffin of Matt Millen. Why? Well 0-3 will likely spell another year of not making the playoffs for the Lions and they will have lost to who they blamed for their losing ways AND also to J.T. O'Sullivan, a QB who apparently wasn't good enough to play in the D.

Takeo Spikes to Lions or Niners?

Detroit Lions sources are saying the team has offered free agent linebacker Takeo Spikes a contract and are just waiting to hear back if he accepts the offer or not. Coach Marinelli has said should the Lions sign Spikes he'd love to put him at strong side linebacker. Ernie Sims and Takeo Spikes together? That sounds like a great tandem!

Although other NFL sources are reporting that Spikes is on his way to San Francisco to take a physical. The 49ers offered Spikes a one-year, $1.5 million contract a month ago, but he turned it down.
