@the_det_times I would’ve took Kyle Louis over Jimmy Rolder but hey ill give him a chance

What letter grade would you give the Lions drafting Michigan LB Jimmy Rolder at #118? 🤔

@MarcRyanOnAir Sewell vs Miller RAS score; Plus he had a top Grit Score; great pick

Nobody felt the Lions had a solid OL last season; before the season, during, or after. But you know you possess the anchor in Penei despite faults elsewhere. Blake Miller was on bad OL’s at Clemson, but nobody I know there spoke of him like we do of Penei.Clemson had no anchor.

NEWS: Legendary Philadelphia #Eagles center Jason Kelce says that he believes that he has CTE. “I mean, I can virtually guarantee that I have CTE.” Kelce played 13 seasons in the league. 😳😳😳

@nickbaumgardner what would Goff’s payment be if he retired today, after the latest restructure? Would you be ok paying him all of that money?

yeah this is nonsense Sheila Hamp needs to stop this now and having Rod Wood cite ‘tradition’ as a reason why a guy who fractured his throat for you had to give money back is bullshit

@JimCosta_ It’s part of the culture. No free passes; earn your keep every day; the best will play, no matter your draft status; what you did yesterday has no bearing on today, get up and go to work. Blue collar!!! If you have an issue with it, sign elsewhere. No prima Donna’s.

Guy played with a broken throat. Gave his body to the team until he couldn’t play anymore It’s the Calvin situation all over They asked for “a portion” of the $3 million bonus back which is less than 1% of the cap. It’s a choice they’ve made repeatedly that other teams don’t

@DetroitOnLion Such a non story; it’s contractual and once you force payment on one, then it’s for all. Every player knows how it is treated, when signing the contract; that’s on the agent if player is surprised. Story should read “Player signed with crappy agent”.

The team has clearly drawn a line in the sand with retirement and signing bonuses. They're willing to take a PR hit and risk alienating All-Pro alumni to save ~1% of the salary cap. You're free to feel however you want about that. I've made my thoughts clear.

@DetroitOnLion @PrideOfDetroit Turner/Davenport/Onwuzurike/Pascal are sharing one contract, with each playing only 4 games.

Former Lion Grant Stuard—who played college ball with Payton Turner at Houston—chimes in on the signing.

@DetroitPodcast He is insurance. If one of the top two DEs slide to us at 17, we can take them. Then go OT in 2nd but still have a starting caliper OT until they are ready. Or we go OT in first and Borum is swing tackle. Win win scenario

What does Larry Borum contract tell you 1-year 2.5 million signing bonus Salary is $2.4 million $4.9M is fully guaranteed

@vs_everybody Starting RT; Sewell to LT. Can only afford to pay top $$ for LT. Goff isn’t mobile and needs best to protect blindside. Also, opens more potential players for right side

What do you guys think? What am I missing? Trying to get my ducks in order before FA starts so I can easily track.

@AlpacaAurelius Beer … good

beer is awful for you, especially IPAs. it has glyphosate, loads of chemical cleaning agents, foam stabilizers and also phytoestrogens that tank your testosterone. it's very hard on the gut and liver too. avoid.

@NFL_DovKleiman The guy snapping to him isn’t allowed to stand up until after he throws!! 😂

Vanderbilt's 5-foot-9 QB Diego Pavia training for the NFL draft. What do you notice?

@AtoZ_Payton TE?

Let's do a Detroit Lions mock draft togther x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

@DrAmyRucker Sanders = Manziel; good but not great; comes from $$$ and acts entitled at times; his “brand” is more important than the team; not a race thing but a culture thing; we all get to make our personal culture what we want, but we also get the consequences that go with it

🚨UNSCRIPTED: The Double Standard Is Real; And Football Media Is the Loudest Accomplice (⚠️ Long Read)… Let’s stop pretending this is accidental. What we’re watching in college and professional football media isn’t just bias, it’s patterned permission. Permission for some to be framed as “heroes,” while others are treated as “problems.” Same sport. Very different grace. Take the recent media praise cycle around Fernando Mendoza. We’re told a story of resilience: -Passed over by 100+ programs -No Stars 🌟 -High character -Did things the right way”, even stayed aways from girls. 👀 The language is deliberate. Moral. Almost sacred. Yet here’s what rarely gets interrogated: -He comes from stability. (Father is a Doctor) 👨‍⚕️ No Nepotism Talk -He had time, not urgency -He developed in systems increasingly stocked with older, experienced players, with an average player age of 22.5 - His journey is framed as grit, not entitlement to opportunity And that’s fine, until you compare it to how Black quarterbacks are covered. Now Let’s Talk About the Ones They Don’t Protect Shedeur Sanders Hyper-scrutinized. Tone-policed. Psychologically profiled. Confidence becomes “arrogance.” Visibility becomes “distraction.” Leadership becomes “ego.” And when his draft slide came, he was called everything but a child of God, publicly reduced to “nobody wants him,” “he’s not good enough,” and “he can’t play.” He was called, unwanted, overhyped, and lacking talent. See the difference? Despite: ✅Elite production under pressure ✅Playing behind porous offensive lines ✅Carrying programs in transition ✅Performing while being the most analyzed player in college football The narrative isn’t, “How did he survive that environment?”Or, he has the ability to change a program. It’s, “What’s wrong with him?” That’s not football analysis. That’s character assassination dressed up as scouting. The NFL Version Is Even Louder.. Let’s get factual. Same Mistakes, Very Different Grace In the 2026 postseason, Josh Allen finished a playoff loss with four total turnovers. He struggled, and He cried at the podium afterward. The response? “He’s a competitor.” “He’s still elite.” “He’ll learn.” No media pile-on. No questioning of his intelligence. No debates about whether he’s “the guy.” Instead, the coverage sounded like this: “He cares deeply” “This loss will fuel him” “That’s what a true leader looks like” “Elite quarterbacks feel it the most” His tears were framed as passion. His turnovers were framed as pressure. His failure was framed as he’ll learn. No legacy threats. No identity crisis panels. No think-pieces about whether he “has it.” Now contrast that with: ‼️Lamar Jackson: two-time MVP, yet constantly asked to “prove” he can win as a quarterback. They even went so far as to suggest he was faking his injury. Josh Allen is allowed development. Lamar Jackson is required to provide validation. C.J. Stroud must deliver perfection. That’s not coincidence. That’s conditioning. Back to my point: So, Why Mendoza Gets a Halo and Others Get a Whistle Let’s be honest about what the media is rewarding: ✅Familiarity ✅Non-threatening confidence ✅A story that doesn’t challenge power structures ✅Success without cultural disruption When a quarterback fits the preferred image, his setbacks are framed as chapters. When he doesn’t, his setbacks become indictments. Mendoza’s age, time to develop, and roster context are rarely discussed. But Black quarterbacks are asked to explain: ✅Their tone ✅Their parents ✅Their branding ✅Their followers ✅Their celebrations White quarterbacks get benefit of the doubt. Black QBs aren’t. Every. Single. Time. This Isn’t About Hating Players, It’s About Calling the System. Different Players. Different Rules. Same League. This isn’t anti-Mendoza. This isn’t anti-Allen. It’s the point nobody wants to say out loud: This isn’t about who’s better. It’s about who gets forgiven. 💯‼️

Oregon QB Dante Moore was just breathalyzed in the locker room at halftime and blew a 0.27. Oregon is down 35-7 to Indiana at halftime.
