Here was the Detroit Lions’ secondary entering training camp.

Red is out long-term. Black is cut. Blue is on practice squad.

Cochran getting elevate is either bad news for Decker (injury) or Manu (demoted).

Obviously the verdict is still out on players like Arnold, Reed, Rakestraw.

Reed will return at some point this year, and he still has 2 more years on his deal.

Arnold is still young and has promise.

Rakestraw has had bad injury luck.

The Detroit Lions have been really unlucky when it comes to acquiring cornerbacks.

By my count, only two of their CB acquisitions since 2015 have been both good and healthy:

1) Quandre Diggs, whose success mostly came at safety
2) Amik Robertson, who is just in his 2nd year in Detroit

Love you, man. You’ve meant a lot to me as a writer, as a voice, as a person, and as a friend.

Have you ever played Kingdom Come Deliverance? It’s not high fantasy, but it definitely has that cultural immersion element to it.

I feel like part of Oblivion’s charm is the jank. The remaster looks nice, sure, but it’s not really enticing me to replay Oblivion with a fresh coat of paint.

It’s a super easy setup, allows for a true coop experience without having to summon and be restricted by area.

This is me. I’ve had Witcher 3 and RDR2 on my to-do list for years now, but I know they’d be big commitments.

Trump supporters are wingnuts. Who’s more sensitive: a nation booing the US anthem over backstabbing and insulting tariffs, or right wing facists getting upset that their anthem is getting booed?

It's funny how sensitive and hypocritical they are. Canadians have every right to be upset with the US right now, and booing the anthem at a hockey game is one avenue of expressing it.

Meanwhile, this guy is throwing a tantrum. Seems sensitive, no?

Trump supporters are hilarious. When they can't put together a coherent sentence, they resort to schoolyard insults.

The first Trump election really opened my eyes. It’s when hate like this became socially acceptable. They aren’t afraid of it anymore.

I still remember when anti-vax people were viewed as outside lunatics. Now it’s so common.

Seeing people (and bots) celebrating all of these villain-level decisions is just so saddening. We’re really in a divided world now. Hate and idiocy vs respect and decency.

Breaking: coach Hank Fraley will return to the Detroit Lions in 2025. Unclear what role he will have - he was the OL coach previously, but had OC interviews with Seattle.

It's pretty wild that Dan Campbell is currently 33-14 since 2022 yet he might walk away from that stretch without a single Coach of the Year win.

2022: Brian Daboll, 8-22 since winning
2023: Kevin Stefanski, 3-10 since winning
2024: ?

If anything, I think it caps his leverage. Sure, he’ll get hundreds of millions, but I think we can safely say it won’t be over $700 million.
