The Lions now have 2 weeks to prepare for the Chicago Bears, the bye week comes and the team returns from Denver 6-2 and they dismantled Tim Tebow in the process. Unnamed Lions players really ripped the Denver QB after yesterday’s game to Yahoo Sports’ Michael Silver, calling Tebow “an embarrassment” and a joke. The Lions game in Chicago in 2 weeks has now been moved from 1 p.m. to 4:15 p.m. to be the National game in the spotlight on FOX.

Michigan finally has a starting tailback; Fitzgerald Toussant is the guy according to Brady Hoke. The coach says he has earned it after a breakout game last week against Purdue.

They shouldn’t be making comments like that: it’ll come back to bite them on the ass for sure.

That is quite a statement from a team at 2 and a half years from being 0-16. I like the attitude of the team, but to call a rookie quarterback a joke and an embarrassment is not a smart move.
