Around SBN: Lakers Should Trade Andrew Bynum So He Doesn't Go To Waste

Kid Rock, doin' the Halftime show on Turkey Day... and other random thoughts.


So Kid Rock is doing the Halftime Show at Ford Field on ThanksGiving.  Word is.... he is doing the MLB World Series Anthem, and first single off his new album.  "Born Free".


Star-divide

Personally, I Love the fact that the NFL is letting "The Kid" play. I thought stuff like this was decided upon and  announced earlier than 3 weeks before the event, but hey, I'll take it.  Kid Rock just might be our good luck charm...

 Schwartz is down with him, anyway and I'll take the boost at halftime.

My only Request is.... Please, Kid Rock, I know you gotta play the "Big #1 Single"  but halftime is 15 minutes long, Please, Please, Please,  Play this song (linked below, also off the new album),  instead of BawWitaBaw.

On to my Random Thoughts

Matt Stafford-

That's Right, It's Matt Now!  Not Matthew.  Time to grow up "Kid"!  What other "Franchise" QB, goes by his "little kid" name?  Or his "proper name"?  Or his "Biblical Name"?  Or whatever you wanna call it?

It's not Thomas, or Tommy Brady... It's Tom Brady.

It's not Matthew Ryan... It's Matt Ryan.

It's not Joseph, or Joey Flacco... It's Joe Flacco.

It's not Joshua Freeman... It's Josh Freeman.

And it is not Samual Bradford, it is Sam... Call him.  You need the Surgery.  I hope next tuesday I hear news that Stafford has been put on IR and is getting his shoulder fixed.  He is our future.  And this year has proved that we have a future. If we follow the plan. (Stafford is 22, Robinson the rookie we just signed is 24. Matt has a long career ahead of him.)

I Love Watching Gunther.

If you haven't seen this video of Gunther, you gotta watch it.  If you don't Love this Guy... You don't Love football!  Here is the video, and then after I will link the full audio of the interview.  Listen to what he says about Schwartz at the end of the audio, and his teaching environment.

On the loss to the J-e-(Fuckers)-t-s...

I think the best reaction and response to the game came from Dan Miller. 

This is my take.  We are a Good Team, that is young and inexperienced at Winning and Closing out a NFL Game. 
We have also been bit by the injury bug (Stafford).... wah wah wah...

But even in the limited time he has had, he has shown that he can succeed in this league, under this system. 7 TD 1 INT.   Get well Matt!

On Jim Schwartz's Press conference friday...

This Guy is REAL, and he is made of STEEL!   I'm sorry but if you doubt that Schwartz will lead this team to the Playoffs?   You Will Eat Your words next year. 

Raiola says that this was the "Worst" loss of his career.  Schwartz says that they haven't played in "Big" games, if WK 8 is the "worst" loss in their career.

Just wanted to make another point here

Is it just me or do we look tired in last 4 minutes of every game. Stamina, seems to be a slight issue

I think it is Depth on the Defensive side of the ball.

But yes, I see what you are saying and agree. Can someone please get Cliff a bushel of Bananas.

Really your gonna jump on Matt for his name LOL

My guess is calling him Matthew is probably his mom…" your name isn’t Matt is Matthew" I don’t give a care there are adults that use that name to..Matthew perry, Matthew Mcaounahay, Matthew Broderik. His name is Matthew big deal. I seen Matt Hasselbecks mom on NFL net one time she said his name is Matthew not Matt..LOL found that funny cause everyone calls him Matt.

 As for Kid Rock I know he’s from the D but I would just be suprised if he sings his own damn songs for a change.

I belive in Jim I don’t think we are making a Playoff run this year and likely not next either But I do think he will get us there. He knows what he’s doing they are building for the longterm which mean we won’t a 2 loss team in the first 3 years. But winning will be a longterm deal.

I agree with the surgery I think Stafford needs to consider hanging it up this year again. Let Dr Andrews work his magic like you said he’s only 22 he has the talent to be a top 5 QB I want to go into 2011/12 considering this a non issue.

Did I mention..I love the Phonz!

Mrs. Stafford can call him whatever she wants. (I am still J.P. to my mom).

But from Now on, I’ll be referring to him as Matt. “Now you’re a Man, a Manly Man, Man”. (In Team America Voice)

Awesome

That Gunny interview was so badass that I watched it a second time just for the hell of it. You can see how people would want to run through a brick wall for that guy.

The stiff he says about Amari is pretty interesting too. Especially he and Schwartz’s determination that he could MAYBE be ready to play by week 8. Gives you an idea of the timeline for a guy like Spievey.

I remember seeing Mr. Bob Ritchie a.k.a Kid Rock

play at a few house parties. With his rap partner DJ Blackman. He has done a 180 since those days. Both in style and appreance.

Love the guy...he does a lot of good things....

For the people in the area.

I caught him a couple of years a go at Boyne Mountain, he puts on a good show.

The post-practice video from the 12th

Jim Schwartz says the greatest thing ever. “We are a 2-6 football team, we are what our record says we are.”

finally, I agree with something he says.

DrewsLions was right and I was wrong. Stafford did in fact post a QB rating better than 89.7, he put up a 90.2 rating. I have not been happy about being wrong in so long!

Woah wait

joshsun agrees with something? haha, jk man.

That is so awesome!

I’m going to be at the Thanksgiving Day game with my #81 jersey on next to both my wife and kid who will be sporting the greatest Lion of all time in #20’s jersey. I’m so excited about Kid Rock being there to perform, I’ve been a fan of his since he came out with that “Devil without a Cause” album back in 1998.

From 0-16 to the Superbowl baby!

sweet about Kid Rock

I’ll be at my first Thanksgiving Day game this year, and was really bummed that I wouldn’t be seeing Stafford…..but seeing Kid Rock will be a plus, very cool

by Angry Johnny on Nov 13, 2010 7:59 PM EST reply actions  

Is it just me

or does it seem like Kid Rock really, really wishes he was Bruce Springsteen?
