About

Spartans, Tigers, Red Wings, Pistons, and yes - the Lions. All the way. Discovered sports in 1961 when the Tigers went 101-61, and can quote you the starting lineup, the pitchers, and most of the stats. Been hooked ever since.

Can't find my damn car keys anymore, though.

    Hey Faygo,

    I thought you would want to read a real article on what happened at Penn State and with Joe Paterno. Check this out and let me know what you think. Thanks.

    Hey bud-

    Thanks for the comment and I see your points. I should have specified from the start that these two don't get the same amount of credit as the bigger names out there (Bart Starr, Joe Montana, etc.). Thanks for the comments and for taking the time to read!

    SLAM! Magazine called us looking for photos of Furlow. I guess the mag plans on doing a story on him... Apparently, it's been in the works for months... Be on the lookout for that one!
