I wouldn’t be surprised if the Lions basically told Bates to stay in Detroit after the season’s end. 

They may end his season early if he keeps hitting bangers from 60+.

Those Michigan numbers are starting to look like a problem. Do we know what teams are doing in terms of outreach to their local markets?

For all the bird de lis haters I think the bird de lis isnt supposed to be a pelican and a fleur de lis I think its just a fleur de lis with a pelicans head. Thats what it looks like to me. Also the flair around the tip of the beak is just flair that fleur de lis have sometimes source I am from NOLA.

Michigan’s mistake is playing in an NFL stadium where lack of attendance is noticeable. They’d be better off play in Ann Arbor, East Lansing or any smaller Michigan university.

 

It only works for St Louis because the local population craves football to be there.

The big issue I see for Michigan is that the Lions Honolulu blue end zones can't be painted over with anything other than white paint apparently. That gives the impression of a temporary venue, similar to what Rice actually is for the Roughnecks. That alone could turn off locals that aren't coming in to watch the Panthers play.

Well, the Detroit Wheels played at Eastern in Ypsilanti. It, uh, could have gone better.

#1 - Hey, do you wanna go see the Pantbers play this weekend?

 

#2 - I would, but their end zones don't match their uniform colors. 

 

Said no one ever.

I'm saying they look like they don't plan on staying there because of how the field is laid out. At least DC has a reason why they don't have all of the same markings as the rest of the league. Fans that are already hesitant to get involved with the league will look at that as a sign Detroit isn't taking the league seriously.
