Ask Pride Of Detroit

As you can probably tell from both the decrease in activity since the draft and the stories that have been considered newsworthy lately, there isn't a whole lot going on in the NFL world right now. The week before the 2011 NFL Draft and the week after were great with there being so much news and so much conversation, but we've hit the point in the offseason where there isn't much to talk about. Even in a regular offseason there isn't much going on in May, but it's even worse this year thanks to the lockout.

In order to combat the lack of news/things to talk about, I have come up with something new that involves readers: Ask Pride of Detroit. As the name suggests, the focus of the series is readers asking POD questions. It is essentially a mailbag type of post that you may have seen on a number of other blogs. You ask questions and I will do my best to answer them and hopefully generate some discussion along the way.

If you have a question you want to submit, send an email to askprideofdetroit@gmail.com, send a tweet to @PrideOfDetroit or leave a comment on Pride of Detroit's Facebook page. I will round up questions and answer them every so often in posts on this site. I'm not sure just yet how regular of a feature this will be, but if you ever have a Lions/NFL-related question, send it to me and it will probably get answered at some point. I think this could become a recurring feature even after the lockout and offseason come to an end, but it will depend on the response I get from you guys.

(Side note: Please keep the questions on topic. I will only choose the best/most interesting ones to answer anyway, but if you send me one that is not related to the Lions or the NFL it will just be deleted. Thanks.)

Can't we just comment on here?

My grandfather was a Packers fan, my father is a Vikings fan, I am a Lions fan, and there is no way in hell I am raising a Bears fan.
Oh, and I hate the Philadelphia Eagles

also, that's my question.

Since this will be a running feature, it wouldn't make sense for the questions to simply go on this post

For one, the post will fall off the front page in a day or two. And the comments automatically close after a month.

If it has already been done..

I’d like to see who are the top free/agent and then undrafted individuals at Lion’s positions of needs. I know that we have speculated on a few guys but a #1-#5 at each position would be nice.

Just to add

A prediction of wins/losses (anticipating a full season) for the upcoming year.

Sean I would like to here your input on the whole Nnamdi talk

Specifically; what you think it would cost us to not only get him here if it’s at all possible, but what kind of impact he could/WILL have on the rest of the FA period if/WHEN he dawns the Honolulu SUH and Silver uniform.You have made a couple of comments but nothing indepth on the topic of Asu.

How many lumps you want Doc?

I live near philly, and eagle fans swear that asomugha will b in philly this upcoming season. I think we are a little more stable in our secondary, and our d line is way better than the eagles, plus our offense with a healthy stafford is just as potent as vick. I dont see why nnamdi wouldnt want to play here

Sleepers

Your opinion/gut feeling on any sleepers on the Lions roster that will take a big step forward in 2011.

Who has had the better life...

Hugh Hefner or Al Micheals?

i can answer that

or at least I know which life I’d have rather lived… and could have bought tickets to all those sporting events
