Ebron and Quarless can have a biggest loser contest during preseason. It will have nothing to do with losing weight.

That being ssid the writer is trying to make something out of nothing most likely. Probably some special circumstances not made public yet. Where was this guy when Mayhew was doing all that stupid shit?
I think Rob Parker worked for ESPN for awhile. First Take, I think.

He wrote for the Detroit News for a long time. (I'm sure there's plenty of his work on Mayhew being a dumbass.)

I don't get why Bamm-Bamm ever made any public comments about not signing criminals anyway. He didn't Fire Caldwell, that shoulda been enough to keep the church going portion of the fanbase happy. But he said only two bad kind of peeps would t be on the team, wife beaters and dudes who use weapons. I guess we're cool with R apists and murders. And scrubass TEs since we don't have any healthy ones.

Non story. Especially by racist Rob Parker, who has always hated white people and the Lions.

Rob Parker fired by ESPN after RG3 comments

He shot a gun into the air. Big deal.
BammBamm said no weapons though. He's a hypocrit and an idiot. Not only dumb enough to take the Lions GM job, dumb enough to sign two TEs with weapons charges. One of em twice.

Andrew Quarless isn't the first player with a gun-related crime signed by Bob Quinn

Quarless has over taken DanO as my least favorite Lion.

Report: Packers TE Andrew Quarless charged with firing a gun in Miami

Caldwell does a nice job explaining things in that article. I don't see the problem.

I read on the DL.com that Caldwell is already hinting that Dan O may be on his way out.

It was a 5th rounder. That does not seem over the top high.

This also tells us that Copeland is probably not impressing anyone because he is the same type of player for us.

This reminds me of how we got K Thorton. Another first round talent that was injured and a team ran out of patience. With how bad Tomlinson and Warford have been this should help for next year. By next year we will have this guy and Dahl ready to play guard and can kick the other 2 to the curb if they still suck. Also Kerley would have been cut so this is a no lose trade.
