Former New Orleans Saint -- now Detroit Lion -- Lance Moore compared Matthew Stafford to exactly who you're thinking he did.

As a blogger, here's a story I can relate with: George Winn still lives in his mother's basement.

It didn't take Taylor Mays long to land on his feet:

Safety Taylor Mays is headed to the #Raiders, source said. Back with Ken Norton, Jr. from his USC days.

Dan Wetzel of Yahoo! Sports has an interesting proposal to curb preseason injuries: more dual practices.

Our former overlord, Sean Yuille, was nice enough to organize pickem leagues (both with and without spreads), a survivor league, and even some college pickem. For details, check out his fanpost here.

Don't expect to see Calvin Johnson on the field against the Jaguars this Friday:

Caldwell said we might not see Calvin Johnson at all on Friday.
