- As the Detroit Lions have had more and more issues at kicker, there has been more and more talk about Jason Hanson potentially unretiring. Most of this talk started out as nothing more than people joking around, but it's gotten to the point where Hanson's agent is actually getting questions about that possibility. Sadly, Hanson is staying retired.
Seeing Lions fans wondering if Jason Hanson would entertain idea of coming out of retirement. Agent says no, he's done. Help from elsewhere.

- Can the Lions' kicking issues be traced back to holder Sam Martin? Jim Caldwell doesn't think so.
Detroit Lions are pleased with Sam Martin's holding. Said any switch would be because of the future kicker's preference, not performance.

- This is a pretty remarkable stat:
The #Lions are the first team since 1999 (Chicago) to miss 8 field goals in their first 5 games. Bears also started 3-2 that year.

- Kyle Van Noy is already feeling 100 percent healthy. Unfortunately, he won't actually be eligible to return from injured reserve until Week 10.
- This is a good sign:
Joseph Fauria is out of his boot and no longer using crutches. #Lions

- The fan who allegedly shined a laser pointer in the faces of Buffalo Bills players on Sunday was stupid enough to brag about it on Twitter. I can't imagine he will be going to any NFL games in the near future.
- Bills cornerback Ron Brooks, who was taken off the field on a stretcher on Sunday after landing on his head, was released from the hospital on Monday.
