Bringing Detroit a Dynasty, A Madden 15 CCM (PS$)

[Number999]

A Detroit Lions CCM

The Detroit Lions, the weakest team of all the storied Detroit-franchies. The Detroit Tigers won a World Series in 1984, the Detroit Red Wings won a Stanley Cup in 2008, the Detroit Pistons won a NBA Finals 2004. What Detroit doesn't have is a Superbowl, numerous horrendous bad draft picks in the past and incompetent front office faces such as Matt Millen have held them back.

But now is a new day, with superstars in the likes of Calvin Johnson and Ndamukong Suh, they have talent, but can they put it together? This is why the man who gave them their lone bright spot in their franchise history is making a return.. not as a player this time, but as an Owner. Barry Sanders purchased a massive stake in the Detroit Lions from the Ford Family, and is looking to bring them what he couldn't as a player, a Superbowl Trophy.

Barry Sanders buys Detroit Lions!

In very surprising news today, the former Hall Of Fame running back announced that he had purchased the Detroit Lions from the Ford Family for a whooping $900M. The cheers from Detroit Lions fans was abundant, and they couldn't wait to see what the franchises greatest player could do with the team. In a press conference earlier today, Barry spoke to the media.

BS: "Before I say anything, I'd like to personally think the Ford Family for all they've done with the franchise. They were fantastic when I was a player and now as I become an Owner, they'll still be an instrumental part of the team as we look to see numerous success from the Franchise."

"I'd also like to state to the fans that you'll be seeing a brand new Detroit Lions franchise. Looking to get back to the playoffs and eventually, a Superbowl. Thank you."

Does this mean possible trades coming to the Lions organization? What can we see in terms of stadium design? It'll have to remain to be seen but this Lions team does have talent. The question is if the pieces can be put in place to make a contender.

Minor Trade for Detroit

Barry Sanders in just his first week is already making moves, the Detroit Lions decided to send former 5th rounder DeJon Gomes to the Bears for a 4th and a 6th. A trade between rivals? Perhaps the Bears don't feel that Detroit poses much of a threat to them as their main focus is getting revenge on the Packers who beat them in Week #17 of the 2013 Season. Gomes could very well replace Chris Conte, who was atrocious to say the least for Chicago. It should be interesting to see going forward if Barry has any bigger things up his sleeve.

Also in minor news, the Detroit Lions signed QB John Skelton to a 1-year contract. A possible replacement to Orlovsky or Kellen Moore? We'll see in preseason.

Detroit, MI: Talk about an utter embarrassment. Everything went bad for Detroit. The passing game was horrendous by all 3 quarterbacks, and the pass protection was even worse. The QBs were under pressure all night but that was no excuse for the performance tonight. To start with, every quarterback had an interception this game. You can't be having costly turnovers like that for you in the preseason, Stafford at least has somewhat of a legitimate excuse with having such terrible O-line protection, but Skelton and Moore both had weak arms and didn't throw well whatsoever, despite what Skelton's yards may indicate to you.

Johnny Manziel's 2 of 3 incompletions were interceptions to Isa Abdul-Qudus, who seemingly was the only Detroit Lion to show up tonight. This is a bad start for Barry Sanders regime, but you can sure as hell bet there's gonna be changes.

The Detroit Lions are going on the road to face the Oakland Raiders in Preseason Game #2.
