DETROIT – While considered a normal occurrence in all other parts of the country like New England, Cleveland, Chicago, and even as far away as Al Davis country, a rare phenomenon occurred in Motown today-the Detroit Lions won a football game. Dump the Gatorade, ride off into the sunset, this event is worthy of a ticker-tape parade and is the first of its kind in Detroit since 2007.

Paula Duffy, Examiner.com sports writer does this week’s NFL preview. Detroit Lions over the Washington Redskins: I look at this game as a way to get Detroit over the 2 year slide and begin the Jim Zorn death watch. While the Redskins’ defense is solid, their offense is putrid. Detroit can score points as we’ve seen, even against Minnesota’s excellent defense. One caveat: if it’s close late in the 4th, momentum shifts to the Redskins. Detroit has no idea how to hold a lead.

DETROIT – Daunte Culpepper may be second-guessing his decision to play in Detroit as the three-time Pro Bowler finds himself relegated to play back-up on the worst team in the NFL, riding the bench while Matthew Stafford, an unproven rookie, will be taking snaps Week One in New Orleans.

DETROIT – Putting the young slinger across from Minnesota’s swarming defensive line just eight days into his NFL career could evolve into a human sacrifice and reinvent the name ‘Purple People Eaters’ for the Vikings.

MINNESOTA – Let the drama begin. Brett Favre will be visiting Lambeau Field in purple this season after all. In the biggest news to come out of Minnesota Vikings camp since WR Visanthe Shiancoe was shown naked in the locker room during post-game last year, Favre reconsidered his reconsidering retirement and signed with the Vikings on Tuesday.

DETROIT – Stafford is exactly what the 0-16 Lions need. A young rambunctious heart full of energy. Matthew, think you can get some hip-hop blaring through the locker room to awaken the NFL’s most dreadful squad out of their 7-year coma or a few of those blond babes to cheer on the sidelines?

Seeing the results of recent polls favoring that Vick be banned from the NFL for life, it is evident how hostile and out-of-touch our country has become. It’s like an emotional lynch-mobbing. One Carolina television station poll showed viewers 61% in favor of a lifetime ban with comments like, “The judicial system sucks. [Vick] should be still in jail, leashed to his bunk.”

ATLANTA – Erin Andrews still coming down from the ordeal of being videoed naked in a hotel room several days ago called 911 to report two paparazzi creeping around her home. Andrews, an ESPN sports reporter voted the sexiest female to work the mic, is no stranger to attention but lately seems to be getting the kind of attention she prefers not to get.
