Lions Notes: Roger Goodell Receives Five-Year Extension

Print- NFL commissioner Roger Goodell received a five-year contract extension earlier this week, meaning he is now signed on to lead the league through the 2018 season. I'm not sure if I should be happy or upset with the move. On the one hand, the NFL has grown quite a bit since Goodell took over as the commissioner, but on the other hand, a lot of awful rules have come around on his watch.
- Mel Kiper re-drafted the 2006 class of players and had the Lions taking wide receiver Greg Jennings with the ninth overall pick. Linebacker Ernie Sims, the Lions' actual first-round pick in 2006, was not selected in the first round of Kiper's re-draft.
- A website called Gridiron League is making retro-looking logos for each team in the NFL. The Lions' mock-up can be seen here. I'm a pretty big fan of it.
- Leslie Frazier hopes the Minnesota Vikings will follow in the footsteps of the Lions and be the next team from the NFC North to successfully go through a rebuilding phase.

I think the Pats one is simple but really works well
The Lions one is definitely sweet.

Meh. Seems like a waste of someone's time.
No slogans. Just win!!!
I like Oakland's the best
Jacksonville and St. Louis, not so much.
Fan of the Detroit Tigers, Lions and Red Wings.
Yuck is all I have to say.
No slogans. Just win!!!
Escaping my mind right now
but the Lions retro logo looks extremely close to something in europe. most likely a car brand.
