- Lions director of security Ricky Sandoval passed away today at the age of 49 after a three-year battle with pancreatic cancer. My condolences go out to the Sandoval family.
- I chimed in with my thoughts on when Matthew Stafford should play on the Washington Post's website.
- Dennis Northcutt is "excited" about playing for Detroit, so much so that he is coming in with the attitude that the Lions won the Super Bowl last season.
- Matthew Stafford and Mark Sanchez have remained good friends and hung out quite a bit at the rookie symposium.
- In a ranking of franchises from the four major pro sports leagues, ESPN The Magazine had the Lions at No. 119 out of 122 teams. The Red Wings came in fourth behind the Los Angeles Angels, Carolina Hurricanes, and Pittsburgh Steelers. If the Wings had a new arena, they'd probably top the list.
