    LOL. One of the ads on the trade rumor page is for Detroit Lions tickets, from TicketLiquidator.com! "Cheap Detroit Lions tickets. We beat everyone's price."

    Must be really tough being a Lion's season ticket holder right now. No hope now, no hope for the future, Millen is 55 so he'll probably live another 12 seasons...

    Trade rumors the day before the draft are fun to read. But so are comic books.

    I'd take their 2008 1st round pick along with #2 since Det is a lock to be a top 10 team again.

    Jolly Spectator?

    Vilma is going nowhere. One below average year in a brand new defense for him doesn't merit a trade. Calvin is the best player in the draft, but i'm sorry, to give up #25, Vilma, AND another high pick, too bad.

    We're getting more than a pile of crap for Justin? That would be huge...

    We should've known: Always count on Millen to totally screw up.

    Before I jump to conclusions, is this the same source? And how reliable is it?

    i am getting a kick out of this stuff.......

    i wish i had some fluff to add to this but the days of being an "insider" are gone.

    too bad

    do have a strange feeling that this draft will not be as boring as last year for the jets.

    It's the Jolly Spectator! How could it not be reliable?

    I'll bet they have an interview with Millen up shortly where he explains the trade: "The pressure was getting to me. We've drafted receivers high up in 3 of the last 4 drafts and then had to wait as 2 of them busted out! This time I'm taking all the risk and stress out of the pick and trading for a pre-busted receiver. My doctor says it'll relieve the blackouts I keep having."

    I was taking it seriously when I was writing the beginning of that post. And when I got to the end, I realized, "wait a minute...this is total crap."

    Fun for that fifteen seconds though.

    This may be a load of BS, but I am willing to bet we move out of the #25 spot one way or another.

    Won't happen, and I don't want CJ. The jets are set a WR.

    Actually the sun will be down until 5:45am where I am so I could see stretching it until 6am. :)

    Seriously this is just a goof. The Jolly Spectator decided to draw in some Lions fans for a good laugh. Look at the advertising on the page.

    This is really getting hilarious and so many people think it's real which makes it even funnier.

    Wouldn't you know it though, they pick on the one team (US) that they know would have no chance whatsoever to move up to number 2 even if we gave up all our picks this year and half of next years too.

    Gimmie Shaun Rogers for DRob and skip all these other rumors. ;)

    BTW, we are NOT set at WR. Coles is on borrowed time.
