...With a record of 2-11, the silver-and-Honolulu blue are firmly entrenched at No. 32 on any power poll in this spiral arm of the galaxy. Entrenched, that is, until another loss drops them behind Ohio State, Florida and the Hamburg Sea Devils. Think it can't get worse? Hey, this is the Lions. NFL schedule makers saw fit to arrange the endgame Kitty Cats' so, so long season likewise: at the Green Bay Packers where the Lions haven't won since a guy named Brett Favre took over there (that's right, 1992); against the Chicago Bears in a game which figures to see Motor City backers immortalize the chant "Fire *&#!!%&ing Millen!"; and at the Dallas Cowboys , who on New Year's Eve will probably looking to bag the No. 2 seed in the NFC... Kevin Jones, who was knocked out of the loss to the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, figures to be out for the remainder of the season... Pro Bowl nominee Shaun Rogers... was slapped by the commissioner after testing positive for steroids. The judgment had Rogers forcibly sitting out four games and giving up $250,000. Naturally, "Big Baby" was innocent, protesting that the positive test represented a product that the 354-pound Rogers used to help him control his weight. Or he has asthma. Or he thought they were Shawne Merriman's Pez. Or something... Team officials announced yesterday that WR Mike Williams - you remember him: the former first-round draft pick cum The Most Useless Player in the NFL Today - flunked a weigh-in. At 240 pounds, Williams only missed the target set by Rod Marinelli and Co. by 20. Though no punitive measures have been mentioned, any punishment would seem pointless other then some quality time on the bench... Fire &#!!%&ing Millen.

Next up Washington Commanders.
The Silver Rush is back!
ESPN sez pick is in. Collinsworth is the only Fubo guy who’s familiar to me, btw.
Round 1, pick 29: Commanders select OT Josh Conerly, Oregon
Washington traded for left tackle Laremy Tunsil and now have Conerly to play on the right side. Last year’s left tackle could slide inside to guard or serve as the swing tackle. Jayden Daniels will be sleeping soundly tonight, but the pass rush remains a concern.

Bills are up. I’m glad to be nearing the end of the first round. I won’t be doing this for subsequent rounds. :^)
ESPN sez the pick is in.
Round 1, pick 30: Bills select CB Maxwell Hairston, Kentucky
For the second consecutive year, Buffalo has drafted a Kentucky player; running back Ray Davis was taken in the fourth round last year. The Bills rewarded Christian Benford with a contract extension this offseason then brought back former first-round selection Tre White. Hairston has zone and man exposure, but his presence will allow the defense to play more man coverage.

Trade:
🏈Eagles trade No. 32 and No. 164 to the Chiefs
🏈Chiefs trade No. 31 to Eagles.
The lions are a perfect fit for a loser town like Detroit. I’m surprised they won any games at all.
Fubo sez Eagles take LB Jihaad Campbell of Alabama.
Round 1, pick 31: LB Jihaad Campbell, Alabama
The Eagles had been looking to move up and it only cost them a fifth-round pick. Philadelphia is bucking the narrative that they do not take linebackers in the first round, but Campbell also brings flexibility as a pass rusher. Campbell had slipped a bit due to an injury but he may be one of the ten best prospects in this draft when healthy.
