After making an impressive run during the 2023 NFL regular season to win the NFC North division title and then make it to the NFC Championship Game, the Detroit Lions have become one of the best teams in the league, with Super Bowl aspirations for the foreseeable future. Last season, the Lions proved that […] The post New Lions Kicker Is Turning Heads At Practice appeared first on The Cold Wire ..read more

  The NFL is the ultimate American entertainment. Even celebrities are diehard NFL fans, and they’re just like little children when they get an opportunity to visit a team. Notably, that was the case with Hulk Hogan, who was in attendance at the Detroit Lions training camp on Thursday (via Brad Galli). Hulk Hogan is […] The post Hulk Hogan Spotted At NFL Team’s Training Camp appeared first on The Cold Wire ..read more

Fortunately for Detroit, the Lions have one of the most talented teams in the league on both sides of the football, even though the defense was a bit of an Achilles heel for the team last season. With the defense needing some upgrading during the NFL offseason, Detroit prioritized addin ..read more

(Photo by Ronald Martinez/Getty Images)   Heading into the 2023 NFL season, the Detroit Lions had high expectations for the first time in a very long time, perhaps going all the way back to when Hall of Famer Barry Sanders was in his prime with the team. Even back when Sanders was playing, the hype wasn’t as long as it has been since head coach Dan Campbell turned things around for the struggling franchise with veteran quarterback Jared Goff leading the way. Fortunately for the Lions, Detroit was able to live up to and exceed those expectations, with Goff and company reaching the NFC Cham ..read more

Henderson/Getty Images)   There is no shortage of cornfields in the Midwest, which is why there is ample opportunity for a diehard fan or two to carve a logo or the face of an important public figure into the field itself. This is exactly the case with some folks in Williamston, Michigan. According to sports insider Brad Galli, the face of Dan Campbell with a head full of lion hair was carved into a corn maze in the town. “Dan Campbell as a lion in a cornfield: that’s what is on display in Bestmaze Corn Maze in Williamston, MI,” Galli recently tweeted. Dan Campbell a ..read more

(Photo by Nic Antaya/Getty Images)   The Detroit Lions are coached by one of the toughest guys in sports right now. Dan Campbell still looks like he could line up and give the team some good snaps, and he’s not the kind of guy you want to mess with. That’s why it only makes sense that his players look up to his example and even try to one-up him. That might be the case with second-year DT Brodric Martin. As shown by Al Karsten on Twitter, the former third-round pick is in peak physical shape right now. It appears it’s a lighter lower body workout day for Detroit Lions Year 2 backup Nose ..read more

(Photo by Gregory Shamus/Getty Images)   During his time with the Detroit Lions, superstar wide receiver Calvin Johnson was considered one of the elite players in the NFL at his position and perhaps one of the greatest players to ever play the game. Despite being among the elite class of NFL wide receivers, Johnson chose to play only nine seasons in the league because he grew tired of constantly nursing injuries and never truly being 100 percent during the season with the Lions. This was the second time that a superstar on offense in Detroit chose to retire much earlier than anticipated d ..read more

(Photo by Michael Reaves/Getty Images)   The dog days are over for the Detroit Lions, who spent three decades stuck in the wilderness as a bad or mediocre team. Last season, they went 12-5 in the regular season, finished first in the NFC North and went to the NFC Championship Game, making it easily their best season since 1991. Head coach Dan Campbell has gotten lots of praise for building a winning program in Detroit, and star wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown praised Campbell’s leadership while on the “Pivot Podcast.” “He’s one of the best leaders I’ve ever been around,” St. Brown said ..read more

(Photo by Rey Del Rio/Getty Images)   During a 10-year career in the NFL, Detroit Lions superstar Barry Sanders was among the elite running backs in the league, and despite playing for a only decade, he is considered by some to be the best to ever play the position. Unfortunately for Sanders, the Lions didn’t do much to surround him with the talent needed to become a legitimate title contender in the NFC, as Detroit failed to have much success in the NFL playoffs, resulting in the Hall of Famer ending his career prematurely without a Super Bowl title. Sanders chose to walk away from the g ..read more

(Photo by Gregory Shamus/Getty Images)   For years, the Detroit Lions were viewed as one of the worst teams in the NFL. They have had some fantastic players suit up for the organization, but for whatever reason, they were unable to materialize that into tangible playoff success. The tides do seem to be changing, however, as the Lions made it to the NFC Championship last year. They have spent a lot of time crafting their roster to compete with their peers, and it is now starting to show on the field. One of the players they have added in recent years was David Montgomery, who previously pl ..read more
