Maybe Daunte thinks that HE is not good enough and therefore doesn't want to embarrass himself.  And also doesn't feel like he COULD get a higher contract based on performance.

I don't know; just throwing it out there.

But, for the record, I'm not a psychologist; I just play one on the internet.

I don't blame him one bit for dissing KC. Unless he's desperate for money, why in the hell would he want to play there?


Why would anyone want to play in Detroit?

At least work out for both teams and get a feel for the franchises.

He could just sell that stupid gold pepper he use to wear to Lil Wayne for about a mil.  That can't be the case.

On paper those are easy losses, but New Orleans doesn't want to back out of the playoffs when they could "seize the day" and show themselves the exit. Green Bay will have a lot to lose for next week, too, as they eye the draft pick seeding. I'm not saying the Lions can't do it, but they'll have to stay focused in their pursuit of history.

True, but they usually give us a game.  Many games have gone down to the 4th quarter.

When Dallas went 1-15 their one win was against Washington who was 1 year removed from winning their 2nd SB and 2 years away from winning their 3rd.

OTOH, there was a time when we owned Detroit and beat them with ease for several years during the early Culpepper era I believe - maybe even Randall and George

Status: offline 		Not that it matters, but I am a numbers guy. I am curious:

Why is Stafford wearing #9 for the Lions? There doesn't appear to be a number 7 (his college number) on the roster. I can't believe the lions have any retired numbers outside of 20, which was recently retired for Sanders, Simms and some Db. I kinda look for it, but didn't come up with anything. They didn't have the press conference where they introduce him on their website when I looked.

Maybe he just decided he likes the number 9 better than 7?

Maybe he couldn't get 9 in college?

Who knows...and further...who really cares?

#7 is retired, Dutch Clark.

Interesting fact, Stafford went to the same high school as Bobby Layne. I think his #22 is also retired.

Sorry, what was I saying???

Oh yeah.  He's actually a pretty funny dude and does have a personality.  You just have to goad it out of him.  He's a lot like Manning was when he came out.  Shy and keeps to himself but when he says something it's actually pretty funny.

I have a feeling he'll get eaten alive in Detroit though.

Just offering a couple of possibilities.  That makes me a JackASS?

I honestly don't think you realize this, or maybe don't mean it the way you intend, but the truth is, yeah.. it kinda does. You have every right to do it, obviously. Just wish you wouldn't.

Who the heck is Dutch Clark?
