Scott's Bio
I'm the Detroit Lions Community Leader (along with Keith Shelton) and also write about many different sports and topics, but predominantly Detroit Lions, Michigan Wolverines, Orlando Magic and UCF Knights.
If you have a question, ask me and i'll get back to you ASAP.
I'm extremely grateful to some of the other great B/R writers that make up my fan following and take the time to read my articles. I also maintain my own Lions Blog at http://mynfl.mysportspen.com/lions/

Hey Scott,
wanted to see if you were interested in doing weekly Detroit Lions roundtable articles this season. They worked out pretty good last year. I'll start with the first one, so if you're interested here are the questions for week 1.
1. Give your (couple paragraph) review of Matthew Stafford's first start at QB. (I can always link to a full review if you've written one)
2. The Saints were the Lions week 16 opponent last year and sent the Lions record to 0-15. Was there any improvement from that game to this one? And if so what improved?
Send your responses to my email - kshelton@nmu.edu by Tuesday at noon.
I'll post the article by Wednesday night.
My plan is to rotate the roundtable by week. New columnists can participate but for length sake we should never have more than 4 columnists participate.

Stafford and Culpepper didn't settle and debates, so let Washington decide!
