Who the hell is Mel Kiper anyway? He's never put on a jock strap, he's never been a coach, he's never been a scout. He's been an administrator and all of a sudden he's an expert. Mel Kiper has no more credentials to do what he's doing than my neighbor and my neighbor is a postman who doesn't even have season tickets to the NFL.😁 If he is so knowledgeable, why is he hoofing it as a postman and not being paid to talk NFL on TV. One has to wonder if anyone ever asked Bill Tobin the same question after his epic rant.

I was unaware who he was or what his rant was. I looked it up. I MIGHT have heard about it in the past but it sure did not stick in my cranium. Not sure if your original post was a homage to his rant but if so, well played. As far as Mr. Tobin I am guessing he did not want to talk about Mel much later on especially after the stellar career Trev Alberts had. Considering the incident Alberts later had at ESPN it seemed he was soft overall and Mel was right to question the pick.

My OP was definitely an homage to Tobin's rant; whenever someone mentions Mel Kiper it's the first thing that comes to mind. As you mentioned the Alberts pick didn't work out (maybe things would have been different if he wasn't injured so often) so I guess Kiper got the last laugh in the end.

New Lions uniforms drop today. Not sure what to expect but the style they used in the 90’s was my favorite.
Really interested to see what they do w the logo, if it stays the same, gets minor edits or changes completely.

Both new uniforms were amazing throwbacks from what I saw. One even being the Black Jersey which is one of their best ones even. All three look really clean. Gonna be a good look for the season.

First, let's address the draft. Mel Kiper is a moron who has built a career on the draft, and most of the time he's wrong.
Also, I get tired of 97.1 talking about the draft all the time. Back in the day when we sucked, I understand that it was fun to speculate who we'd pick at #5 and such, but you know what?
I START WORRYING ABOUT THE DRAFT ON DRAFT DAY. There is no point in arguing/speculating before then. I understand we are all in football withdrawal, but come on man! It's so ridiculous.
Now, on draft day, since we're picking so late, I'll be in a deep sleep, dreaming about Aaron Rodgers dying from food poisoning at Waffle House.
ROAR!!!

One week, and a minute, until the draft starts. I am SO ready for it. Unlike my man Bri over there. I enjoy the mocks to see who is out there I do not know about. Especially since I do not follow college football much anymore. #OnePride

NEW LIONS UNIFORMS INSPIRED BY THE GBITG! STRONG! It's not very often that I say this when a team changes their uniforms but I like this look.

Geez, Bri, why don't you tell us how you really feel. LOL! In all seriousness though I got a good laugh out of reading that.
