Consider this a blogging palate cleanser, as the current news cycle is being dominated by the Tom Lewand DUI. Let's stick to Lions football for at least one post.
Via the Freep, the Lions have announced the waiving of recently signed kicker Justin Medlock and guard Kurt Quarterman. To be honest, neither is a move of any great importance. About the only thing I can say is when I heard Medlock's name, only one thing came to mind...and it wasn't about football. What did come to mind was the old school southern rock band Blackfoot, and their song "Train, Train," written by one Shorty Medlocke.
No relation, as it turns out.
Why yes, I am old. Why do you ask?
Ty, of always worth reading The Lions in Winter blog, will be posting a series of scouting reports on the NFC Central competition at Mlive's Highlight Reel blog. The first post of the series is live, covering the Chicago Bears.
Roar of the Lions checks out the competition at the wide receiver position, and the very underwhelming duo of Dennis Northcutt and Bryant Johnson.
At the Detroit News, we get word the Lions' dreadlock wearing wide receiver, 7th round draft pick Tim Toone, is about to start his duties as Mr. Irrelevant at Irrelevant Week 2010.
Blue and Silver Pride looks at the not so good economic conditions here in Detroit (Will the economy ever improve? Even my Magic 8 call can't say for sure.), and how it may affect the Lions.
FoxSports.com lists the top 100 players in the NFL. As the list is in a PITA format (slideshow, starting at player 100), Lions Gab saves us the trouble, and finds the only Lion on the list. It's Calvin Johnson at number 70.
And that's about it. We really are in a dead time for the NFL, there isn't much to comment on...which is one reason (of several, he is a relatively high profile football executive, after all) the Lewand incident is getting so much play.
Only 4 weeks to go before training camp begins...
