ROTL & DF79 Get Flu

Hello everyone! Been a long time since I posted any updates here. You know how life goes at times. The Flu has been running rampant in the DF79 household since last Sunday, so that put a damper on things -- then to top it off, ROTL is down today due to a technical error, so I cannot update you there.

I will say here that my thought on the GB game is that we need to look on the brighter side, and into the mechanics of why, the situationals (I know that is a made up word), what it means from a coaching standpoint, talent, and where they go from here.

Yup - things are looking good for the future from where I'm sitting. Tonight will be the first in a short (not sure on the length until I get into it) series on the state of the Lions at the Bye, starting with GB game thoughts, moving into where there are and where I see them headed.

I was glad to see the trade deadline come and go with no moves this year, sicne the only thing of value the Lions had to give up was draft picks -- and considering how well Mayhew's draft picks have been playing (for the most part) we need as many of those as possible.

Hope everyone is well, and can stay healthy through this year's cold and flu season.

Black and Blue?

I have a new post rebutting an SI.com article over at Roar of the Lions. If you read the comment I posted on last story, due to technical difficulty my VCR didn't record the game..which I was unaware of until tonight. :(

I'll look at our 30 lock very soon -- I just need to finish compiling it.

I also wanted to share this little note on the Vikings injury report. Appears the Lions are finally playing more physical again, placing both MLB Henderson and AP on the injury list. Go Lions!!

Back in One Piece

I made it back from Ft.Wayne to Lansing in one piece after taking first place in Forms at the Taewondo Regional Tournament. As for football, I hope the Lions do better than I did in my last sparring match!

Only 4 hours to football!! Let the Season begin!!!

Back from the Lake

Okay, I'm back from a great vacation up north, and found time to digest, summarize, and do some analysis of the cut-down weekend. It is over at Roar of the Lions now.

I'll be doing a piece later this week (if I have time) on our 30-lock roster picks. I'll be AWOL Friday and Saturday as I'll be out of state at a Taekwondo tournament. (as a participant -- I'll let you know how it goes.)

Exciting weekend for the Lions, and gorgeous weather around here for the Holiday. Now I'm ready for some football!!

I also updated ROTL into the blogroll links.

Go Lions!!!

ROTL

Hello again all! Thanks for those who responded to the guest blogger invite -- I"ll be in touch later this year as it gets closer.

As you'll notice, I haven't posted much here as of late -- mostly becuase I am putting my regular blogging articles over at Roar of the Lions. I will be trying to get a bit more over here as well, but again it will be mostly related to the pieces I'm putting up over at Roar of the Lions. Keep in mind, I can't both stories in full there and here, so my main content is going over to there. Once the season swings into gear, I may also post some fantasy football related stuff over here.

Question: Should I start back up my early practice of posting links to each ROTL story here? I wasn't sure if that was something being utilized, or not. Let me know!
