Were you by chance listening to 1270 WXYT this afternoon? They were talking about this a little bit before the Loins Comedy Hour, er ah, press confrence.

Press conference for what?

Press conference for what?

To address questions about the sale!!!!.........










OK, Just kidding. Wanted to stir the pot a little.
The comedy hour, i mean press confrence was to answer questions about the upcomming NFL draft and what the loins were gonna do.

Take all of the Lions qb drafts out of the mix and the percentage of bust has to drop into the single digits.:D :lol: :lol: :lol:

Do I dare ask what the Lions shared in this press conference?

It was a 45-50 Min confrence. Q and A format in which nothing was said and no questions were answered except those that could be answered with a cliche. Direct questions were deflected and answered in generalitys.

Q. would you take J. Russell with your #2 pick? A. He's a good player anyone would take him with their first pick

Q. Would you take C. Johnson with your #2 pick? A. He's a good player
anyone would take him with their first pick.

Q. Would you take Gaines with your #2 pick? A. He's a good player
anyone would take him with their first pick.

Q. Would you trade down your #2 pick in order to get a O or D lineman?
A.theres a lot of good players available in the draft that anyone would take with their first pick

Q. Will you draft an offensive or defensive player first? A. Im a defensive specialist and love defense....but i love scoring touchdowns so we'll take a
Offensive or defensive player with our first pick.

To summerize. It was typical loins non answers and loins logic.
