Lions Notes: Gunther Cunningham Is Not Fond Of Anthony Davis

by Sean Yuille on Oct 22, 2011 2:22 PM EDT in Detroit Lions Notes

Gunther Cunningham was none too pleased when he heard about what 49ers offensive lineman Anthony Davis said on Twitter following last Sunday's game.

"Like their (right) tackle, I don't even know his name, he's talking about blocking everybody," Cunningham said. "Well, I looked at the tape. I might make a highlight tape and put it on Twitter so everyone can see what he did. It just really -- the more I talk about this, the madder I get because, I just want to play them again."
Cunningham on Twitter? If only ...
Jerome Harrison had surgery on Friday, according to the Free Press.
The reason doctors discovered Harrison's brain tumor is because he told them he was having headaches. Doctors decided to do an MRI and found the tumor.
ESPN's Sport Science recently looked at Calvin Johnson.
There have been reports that Jahvid Best could miss the rest of the season because of his latest concussion, but the Lions and Best's agent don't think that will be the case. They expect Best to return sometime soon.
The Falcons prepared for the Ford Field crowd by cranking up their sound system to 124 decibels during practice this week. Apparently the average NFL crowd comes in at about 108 decibels, so teams are definitely taking notice of how loud Lions fans have been in recent weeks.

Gunther Cunningham said he couldn't hear himself think when he took off his head set during the 49ers game because the crowd was so loud.
Barry Sanders will be at Sunday's Lions-Falcons game as part of Alumni Day.
Brandon Pettigrew was fined $7,500 for his chop block penalty in the 49ers game. Does the NFL even review the tape before sending out fines?
In addition to James Davis and Eldra Buckley (who both joined the Lions in some capacity), the Lions also worked out running backs Chauncey Washington, Charles Scott and DeShawn Wynn earlier this week.
Ronnie Brown was "lost for words" when he found out the trade to Detroit was voided.
Jason Hanson said this about receiving a vote in the meanest player in the NFL poll: "Someone better enter the substance abuse (program)."
Former Lions kicker Dave Rayner signed with the Raiders today to fill in for Sebastian Janikowski, who is out with an injury.

Gunther strikes me as a guy who works his car with his bare feet like Fred Flinstone

Have you read anything about Gunther?

They say he usually has multiple computer going in his office and he’s the first person each week to get the game film put on his Ipad. A lot of players have mention how tech savvy Gun actually is.

Gunny on twitter?

For the sake of his bank account let’s hope not.

Glad to see Rayner found a job...

if only for a short time.

I felt really bad about what happened with him in Dallas.

I felt bad for him until I remembered that's his MO, unreliable. There's a reason he hasn't held down a full time gig for long

I'll put it this way:

I know who Anthony Davis is because i’m a football fan, but I know who Ndamukong Suh is because I’m an American.

For a chop block that wasn't a chop block smh.

I'm beginning to think the NFL fines players that do not cause an injury?

you know legal plays that look dirty, but are legal, pulling hair, tackling a Bears QB with a shove in the back (while running with the football), that sort of thing.

Game on!

Here’s the full video of the Lions-49ers Turning Point. I’m not sure if many of you want to relive that loss in gritty detail, but it’s certainly fascinating to watch how the game went down with the NFL Films-esque treatment. Still a lot of good stuff to be found in the video. Carpenter! Where were you on that 4th down???!!! Arrrrgghhh!!!

Well guys

I’m sorry about last week, but may the best team win between the Falcons and Lions, good luck! I hope the winner of tomorrow’s game is the NFC champion, Gunther Cunningham is forgiven for all of his years as a Chief because now he is part of a cool team!
