The season seems to be having one of its periodic shakedowns. The bronco bucked for the first time in August. This is where at least half the league is condemned to a season of drudgery. The teams who have come down also tend to get slung out, shocked by the competitiveness of the league. By the time they recover - as with Luton this year - aspirations for the title have all but gone. This second kick-out...

Kevin Smith returned to practice on Thursday, splitting No. 1 reps with Maurice Morris . Calvin Johnson also practiced again on Thursday. It appears both will be game-time decisions for Sunday's game, but if I had to make a prediction right now, I'd say that the Lions will have all of their offensive weapons against Seattle. A lawsuit against Dennis Northcutt that brought about some pretty serious...

It’s been over sixteen years since I missed a game at home due to reasons that weren’t holidays, work or weddings. For Tuesday’s win against Crawley , I had to make do with Internet message boards, streaming radio, Twitter feeds and live text commentary. It wasn’t always like this, in my university days I might get the half-time score, if I was in the house to hear it. Teletext...

Matt Murphy’s eyes haunt me. It was the 25th November 2000 , and Murphy had just slotted home to give us a 2-0 lead before half time against Notts County. Murphy got them both and started his celebration by glancing up to the London Road End with what can only be described as; come-to-bed-eyes. I was a bit giddy with all the excitement and confess to being a little flattered. Then I saw something...
