Wolverines Fan Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Is there an alternate prize? Hey Russman, how about the winner getting a free Huddle membership renewal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiegie Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 (edited) Hey Russman, how about the winner getting a free Huddle membership renewal? I think you are being a little bit bold in asking that Russman offer an alternative prize that is 2 to 3 times the market value of the original prize.

Bronco Billy Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 I know a guy who had 2 tickets to a Lions game not too long ago. He left them on his dashboard and decided to go into the bar to get a couple of beers. A short time later he left, went back out to his car, and sure enough - the window of the car was smashed. Where he had left the two tickets someone had broken in and left two more. Needless to say, he was hopelessly depressed for days... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RussMan Posted April 12, 2007 Author Share Posted April 12, 2007 Hey Russman, how about the winner getting a free Huddle membership renewal? I can do that. If someone from here wins I spring for a Huddle membership for this season. It funny becuase one guy said having to go to 2 lions game was more like a punishment than a prize.... and he was a Lions fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussMan Posted April 15, 2007 Author Share Posted April 15, 2007 Gaines Adams and Patrick Willis getting a lot of love.... which I like. I am surprised that Calvin Johnson and Brady Quinn arent getting picked more.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brewer Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Is there a cut off date for entry, or does it run through the end of the regular season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussMan Posted April 21, 2007 Author Share Posted April 21, 2007 Ok so far we have 60 entries... and the draft countdown clock is counting down.... 7 days until the daft ! I still think Brady Quinn is a possibility, I dont by the Calvin Johnson talk. Mostly I believe the Lions want to trade down and go defense which isnt all that exciting from a fantasy point of view but their defense stinks and they need some players.

RussMan Posted April 24, 2007 Author Share Posted April 24, 2007 FWIW I have a buddy who works at a law firm downtown Detroit so he knows some people in the organization..... Calvin "Cornbread" Johnson is the pick "Talking with someone close to the situation, the Lions will draft CJ if he is there at number 2 and don't trade down. Everyone on the offensive side of the ball are in love with him. This is according to the Lions draft board as of this weekend. " If this is the case I really hope the Lions trade down ! ! !

Lions | Six teams looking to trade for No. 2 pick Tue, 24 Apr 2007 19:19:09 -0700 Adam Schefter, of the NFL Network, reports six teams are interested in trading for the No. 2 overall selection in the 2007 NFL Draft.

RussMan Posted April 26, 2007 Author Share Posted April 26, 2007 http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/200...des/index.html Quote: • While everyone has focused on No. 4 Tampa Bay as the most likely trading partner for No. 2 Detroit in the Calvin Johnson Sweepstakes, it's the No. 8 Falcons who might truly be in the driver's seat. Sources say Falcons owner Arthur Blank has pretty much ordered Atlanta general manager Rich McKay to do everything he can to put the team into position to land Johnson at No. 2. Blank wants Johnson for a couple of reasons. First, Johnson played at Georgia Tech and would help sell tickets to disillusioned Falcons fans who have endured two non-playoff seasons after Atlanta went to the NFC title game in 2004. Second, the Falcons still have their long-standing need of a reliable big-play receiver for quarterback to play pitch and catch with. With seven picks in the first four rounds (including two second-rounders and three in the fourth), Atlanta definitely has the ammo to make the deal with Detroit. The Falcons could send the Lions their picks at 8, 39 and 44 for the No. 2 spot, and still have a third-rounder and three fourth-rounders to fill other needs. The Lions are known to covet middle linebacker Patrick Willis of Mississippi and would be perfectly situated at No. 8 to select him. Picking up at least two extra second-rounders in the process would meet Matt Millen's goal of turning the No. 2 slot into a first-day package of picks. Detroit is likely to draft a quarterback with its own second-round pick at No. 34. Stanford's Trent Edwards remains slightly favored over Michigan State's Drew Stanton. • At No. 4 and not wanting to give up the majority of their four picks in the draft's first 68 slots, Tampa Bay is not likely to move up in an attempt to compete for Johnson. The Bucs need defensive help and appear to be more likely to take Clemson defensive end Gaines Adams if they stay put. Wisconsin offensive tackle Joe Thomas is another option at No. 4, but so too is trying to move down a few spots with the intention of taking Louisville defensive tackle Amobi Okoye, who some in the organization are likening to a young Warren Sapp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they want to give Vick every opporunity to succeed. Fine by me I want to trade out of the #2 spot anyway. All the local media are jumping on the Calvin Johnson bandwagon.

All the local media are jumping on the Calvin Johnson bandwagon. If CJ is there, DET has to take him, even if they have no intent on keeping him. There are several teams who want this guy and I am sure that even Matt Millen could not screw up this trade! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
