Thanks ATL Lion
ATL Lion - I can't thank you enough for sending the Lions flag. I have it displayed proudly next to the other flags. I love all of the talk it generates. I love being a Lions fan. I love being associated with the best fans in the world. I don't know how to get a picture posted in here. I have the picture but it's not on a URL. And to think I am an Electronics Warrant Officer. Funny. Thank you again to all of the fans.

I had a dream were the Lions let me sign a 1 day contract they let me practice with them running drills and catching passes from Matt…At the end of the day I was called into Mayhews office. I was told I had just been traded to seattle for a 5th round draft pick.
