It's really gotten quite humorous at this point. _________________

Looking forward to seeing Detroit fans try to spin this one. Schwartz has no control over this team, after all their talk about zero tolerance another guy gets arrested.
I have a feeling the Lions are going to implode in glorious fashion within a year or two. It's going to be beautiful. |
Please don't bring fans into the discussion. _________________

It's really gotten quite humorous at this point. | I don't find it funny but it just is not surprising, whatsoever. They're gradually gaining a reputation similar to the Bengals. LIS, I would not want Schwartz as my coach. Him and Mayhew may have been able to bring the Lions out of 0-16 but they've compromised character and discipline in their journey to 10-6. Mayhew has brought in known character head cases and Schwartz has not brought discipline to that locker room. I don't know how you can solve such a problem. Perhaps cutting the guys out of line but when you've got potential starters in Fairley, Leshoure and Berry, you're going to suffer the loss of talented players.
It'll be interesting to see how they handle this. _________________

Every time I click on T.I.R.T I assume it's for a Lions' arrest. _________________

Do the Lions have more DUIs this offseason than all the other teams combined? I think they do. _________________

DUI is just not funny. A very gifted person from my high school got hit a few weeks ago. For me, that really brings gravity to this situation. Many of us probably know someone impacted by a DUI. Seems that we sometimes let ourselves pretend its not a huge deal. When it is player after player smoking weed, the lack of discipline in that locker room is funny as a Packers fan. They aren't hurting anyone. But too many times this offseason Lions have put every single life on the road in danger.

At some point the league needs to take action and hold the Lions organization accountable. Idk if we are at that point yet, but there is something seriously wrong with the messages being delivered in that locker room. |

Honestly the Lions are getting out of hand. For as hard as Goddell is to guys on the field he is pretty lenient off....as long as no one lies to him _________________ [quote="TytybearsFan21"]Drive off into the sunset, you brilliant bastard.[/quote] |

I don't think he can discipline until their court dates start going through. The ability for Goodell to discipline is also handicapped by plea bargains that reduce or remove the initial and more serious charges. _________________

Not true. Goodell's punishment aren't linked to any actual charges. As an example, Big Ben was suspended and charges of any sort were never even filed. _________________

| It would be unprecedented for Goodell to suspend the entire Detroit Lions franchise for a game or two, but I'm not sure it would be unwarranted. |

| Absolutely no dedication to doing the right things over there. Leadership can be as simple as laying down a new foundation and commitment and getting rid of anyone not ready to live up to that commitment. Do not expect that message to ever come from Schwartz, he obviously missed that chapter along the way. |

Schwartz just got a contract extension.  _________________

| Quote: | | "It's perfect, and just the way we like it," Urlacher told the Chicago Tribune this week. "If you look at what we did last year before Jay (Cutler) got hurt, we won five in a row. When Jay went down, you saw what happened after that. When we're healthy, I don't see a better team in the NFC North. |
Didn't he say something similar last season? I just think its funny when the third team to finish in the division has something to say about taking #1 when the reigning division champs have kept their mouths shut. _________________

Oh, they won five in a row? That's cute.
GB lost one game. These people are dumb. |
