Well you haven't paid any of them that. Spezza/Turris/Zibanejad would be fantastic down the middle, if they meet their projections. **** the idiots who whine and bitch about everything. Doesn't make it the wrong direction to go. People whine about paying Staal $4 to be a "3rd line center", when in actuality, he's a guy who plays 20 minutes a game (aka more than a lot of 1st liners). People are idiots. Almost all of them. Oh, btw, it got us a Cup, and then they STILL whine about paying a guy $4M for that perceived role. God I hate people.

This doesn't belong here but I am going to rant anyway. People are idiots. Especially when it comes to sports and their fav teams. All week on the local sports radio shows the main discussion is, getting rid of Matthew Stafford, or benching Stafford, or saying that Stafford is a poor QB or todays word of the day was, he is serviceable. I don't get it. Why do people seem to LOOK for things to whine about.Keep this in mind.Stafford is 6th in the league in Passer Rating. 4th in the NFC.Stafford is 7th in the league in Pass Percentage, 4th in the NFC.Stafford is 5th in Pass Yards in the league and again 4th in the NFC.He is 5th in yards per game int he league and 4th in the NFC.4th in the league in passing TD's and 3rd in the NFC.4145 pass yards, 62.7% 33TD 14INTAnd people are complaining that he sucks. He holds the record for most Passing TD's by a Detroit Lions QB. He is 193 yards away from taking over the top spot in Lions history on passing yards.Holds the record for most passing TD's in one game. He did it twice.16 completions away from the Lions completions in one season record.And if he continues to play no better from this point on he will most likely hold the best passer rating career for a Lion and could easily break the single season record this year.I think my point is that in most sports markets, the people who make the most noise would never ever be satisfied. I am not saying the Stafford is elite but people should be happy that we have a QB in this town that is better than "serviceable."/rant

No, like, I don't get it. People just live for things to whine for. It's like whining about other stuff somehow makes them forget about how awful their mediocre lives are? I don't know, I hate it. (I guess I'm whining about whiners? LOL) I just find it so useless. Why be negative all the time? I don't get it!

WOW really??As an outsider regular fan of the NFL, i consider Stafford to be one of the better young qbs in the league..I put him in the second group of Qbs..He isnt Brees, Brady , Rodgers..But he isnt too far off IMO.Sure he has had a couple bad games this year, but he is responsible for the great season the Lions are heaving and most likely a playoff berth..

Stafford looks like some hick off the street. He looks overweight and out of shape.As a guy who loves Football, Stafford is pretty good. I think Detroit fans want Charlie Batch and Rodney Peete (if you know what I mean).I would take him in a heartbeat over that bum in New York (Sanchez).

ya, Im with you guys. I dont get it either. I find too many people to be way too negative/complaining about things constantly, and generally just dicks to other people on top of it all.I dont understand why, but Zachs explanation is as good as any I have.

agree, based on what I saw this year, he really seems above average at worst. Dont get it.

Got a call from a client who has a retail store.He has a few customers that are NHL players that we all know (not in Toronto), who emailed him saying they are looking for something "sick". He asked me if I knew what that meant, and if I had it.

Can you dummy it down for us?What is sick? Jewelry? Something illegal?

It's because people can never be happy. People are still bringing up possible goalies the Wings should get at the trade deadline because "Howard just isn't the guy to get it done". I will never understand it. I think because Detroit is such a craphole of depression and anger that we could have the absolute perfect rosters on any or all of our teams and the air waves will always be filled with haters and worriers. People wanted Lidstrom traded a couple times the last two years. They want Datsyuk traded this season. Zetterberg too. Half the time I don't know if people are actually calling in and reading HFBoard trade ideas or these same people who call in actually post at the HFboards themselves.

I did not know there was a US/Can distinction in the spelling of jewelry/jewellery. In fact, I have absolutely no idea which method I have previously used.They probably want iced out bling bling. See if Jacob the Jeweler is around.

If I had photoshop I would try and put Zach somewhere in that picture. lol
take it from a guy who's been out with Zach to a few different bars in different countries, thats just what happens all the time to him anyway. Kids a star.(guess not suprising when you consider he was the 12th best Limit player in the world in 2009. That, and the beard+jersey thing gets the chicks everytime)
