  1. I could see Slash appearing with some pop artist as a special guest guitarist for them but that's about it. ... Actually I think he may have already done that before...I swear I remember him performing on a halftime show. Axl should never be let anywhere near a stage during a performance being broadcast live.
  2. A hard rock or heavy metal band will never perform at the Superbowl.... Period. It sucks but it is what it is.
  3. Thanks a lot Cleveland.....Sun God is going to take half the damn cap to sign at this point.
  4. Looks terrible to me. The Crow was one of those movies that the tone was extremely important in making it work, maybe it's just a bad trailer but this doesn't look like it's going to do a good job recreating that tone at all.
  5. He also had a down year last season by his standards. Who knows why but he seems a little young to be regressing already so hopefully he can get back to his previous form where he was a legitimate number 1 CB.
  6. Davis may not be elite but he's immediately the best CB on this team, it's definitely an improvement.
  7. Danielle Hunter is the only splash player left I can think of.
  8. I can't say whether they would or not but it's the only option they have to replace him with a top tier talent. Let's them get Nabers, Odunze, or Bowers. A cheap rookie deal to allow them to replace Higgins and keep the offense loaded for Joe for the next 5 years.
  9. Reader is better anyway... Albeit also likely more expensive.
  10. I still think my idea of him going to the Bears along with 18 for pick 9 makes sense. It let's the Bengals get a new cheap top tier weapon to replace him and makes a lot of sense for the Bears.
  11. Really think you underselling this trade here... This wasn't a depth move he's the likely CB1 going into the season and CB2 at worst. I agree that the Lions aren't done at CB but they aren't likely to sign anyone who will start ahead of him and unless they trade up they won't be drafting anyone ready to be CB1 as a rookie.
  12. Meh, it's a 3rd round pick... Unlikely to draft a player as good at that spot but need to extend him so it's not a 1 year rental.
  13. I would imagine they'll extend him if they traded for him.
  14. With our current roster he'd be CB1. Though I highly doubt we're done at CB.
  15. Lions traded for Carlton Davis
  16. If our options are roll with Kerby or spend 17m per year to upgrade I'm rolling with Kerby and just draft some competition
  17. Meh, I don't view safety as a priority need for the Lions anyway. We need depth but I'm completely fine rolling when Kerby and Iffy as the starters.
  18. I'm watching the news wires with the "come on... Do something" meme in my head.
  19. Uhh why not? Have you ever been to the Vegas suburbs? There are some beautiful neighborhoods out there.
  20. I mentioned it in the NFL news thread about him requesting a trade but if I'm the Bears and I've already decided I'm going QB at 1 I'd call Cincy and offer 9 for Higgins and 18. With a QB on a rookie deal the Bears can afford to pay Higgins, they can add additional talent at 18 and the Bengals can replace Higgins with one of the top 3 WRs in the draft. Makes sense for both teams
  21. If I'm the Bears and I'm going to draft a QB at 1 I'd call up Cincy and offer 9 for Higgins and 18. With a QB on a rookie deal the Bears can afford to pay both Moore and Higgins and they'd still get to add more talent at 18 and the Bengals can replace Higgins with whichever of Harrison Jr, Nabers, or Odunze is still there at 9.
  22. Maybe but it's something to seriously consider. What's better.... Drafting the 4th best CB or EDGE rusher in the draft and hoping they work out or just trading the pick for a player who is already proven at the NFL level? To me it all comes down to the money aspect... Do you want to spend that much money on the CB position or not. If you're comfortable investing the money in the position I say make the offer... Statistically speaking the chances of whoever you draft at 29 being as impactful as Sneed would be are pretty low and it's not like he's over the hill... He's 27. Plus the Lions just had a home run draft last year and have done very well overall in the Holmes era, law of averages will bite us soon enough on a draft pick. Of course that's all assuming we're talking about pick 29... Holmes and Campbell are aggressive and if one of the top CBs or EDGE rushers falls a little I would not be surprised at all to see them trade up to get them (in fact I fully expect it).
  23. For someone else maybe not but our second is too low, someone would likely beat the offer. With us picking so late in the rounds it either takes 29 or our 2nd+ additional picks.
  24. With Chris Jones signing his massive contract I imagine Sneed will be traded. We'd have to give up a high pick... Probably 29, then pay him something similar to what the Bears paid Johnson... But you're getting a proven CB1 instead of chancing it on a rookie. This team is within striking distance of a Superbowl so it wouldn't surprise me at all to see Holmes and Campbell get aggressive and that would definitely be an aggressive move to go for it all now. I'm torn on it personally... But I definitely wouldn't be upset if they do it. You aren't getting a premier pass rusher at 29 and you you're probably down to the 4th or 5th best CB prospect in the draft at that point. I'd love it if they could figure out a way to get it done keeping 29 but I don't see that happening, our picks are too low and I imagine someone would outbid us if we try to avoid giving up our first.
  25. Other than the age factor Downey would actually be a great fit for something like that. He's done comedy multiple times already, including parody. Actually now that you mention hot shots I'm kinda surprised Charlie hasn't tried getting a 3rd one made. Then again maybe he has... He's been trying to get a new major league made for like a decade now... Doesn't seem to have much pull in Hollywood anymore.
