Nickel For Your Thoughts. Lions fans are probably thinking a lot about this selection.

DETROIT (Sportsman’s Daily Wire Service) The Detroit Lions won just two games last year after coming off their historic 0-16 2008 season. Needless to say, they’ve got their eye on the 2010 NFL Draft.

Beli-Up. BB's decision to "go for it" on fourth down might have been a boo-boo.

INDIANAPOLIS (Sportsman’s Daily Wire Service) In what is being called the worst coaching decision of his storied career, New England Patriots Head Coach Bill Belichick elected to go for the one yard needed deep in his own territory on fourth down to essentially guarantee a Pats victory.  The move backfired as the Colts stopped the drive and went on win the game 35-34 with less than two minutes to play.

So Photogenic. Raiders owner Al Davis has been frightening school children for decades just by saying “hello.”

OAKLAND, CA (Sportsman’s Daily Wire Service) — He is the original maverick owner. His aggressive and often hostile business approach ruffled more than a few feathers.

Not Happy. Pippi isn't too thrilled with Vick's staged meal.

PHILADELPHIA (Sportsman’s Daily Wire Service) Michael Vick made his debut as a Philadelphia Eagle Thursday night in a 33-32 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars, connecting on four of four passes for nineteen yards, as surprisingly supportive Philadelphia football fans gave him a standing ovation.

Favre-o-rite Dad? Maybe not.

GULFPORT, MS (Sportsman’s Daily Wire Service) Brett Favre is continuing to keep a low profile regarding his return to the NFL. He is also not telling his family whether or not he’ll return to being a husband and father for the 2009 season.
