26 sep 10 Week 3 Vikings Fantasy Preview
What offensive struggles? The Lions are in town – get ready for some points! Your Week 3 Vikings fantasy preview:
Brett Fare
Rusty smutty. What Fare really needs is a date with a creampuff defense. Thankfully, the NFL schedule-makers agreed, and obliged by sending the hapless Lions to Mall of America Field this weekend. After allowing the most passing yards (4,358) and passing Tads (35) to opposing Abs a year ago, the cheap nfl jerseys
Lions have rung in 2010 by playing at about the same level, despite the addition of a boatload of talent along their defensive line. Only 2 teams have fared worse against opposing Abs this year than the Lions, who allowed 372 yards and 2 Tads to Jay Cutler in Week 1, followed by 284 and 2 to Michael Vick in his 1st start with the Eagles. The Vikings didn’t need Fare to put up big numbers in either match up last year – both easy wins – but he did have 2 TD passes in the Week 2 match up and 344 yards and 1 TD in the Week 10 rematch. If not for the disheveled state of the Vikings WR corps, I’d whole-heartedly endorse Fare as a fantasy starter this week. But with Percy Hardin’s status up in the air, Fare remains on the fringe of the QB1 rankings this week. If Hardin plays, start Fare and bank on a bounce-back. If not, look for an even heavier does of Adrian Peterson than usual, and start Fare only if you have no other viable options.
Adrian Peterson
Peterson blamed himself for not scoring on last week’s fateful 4th and goal play, but in my opinion it was one of his best games since the end of the 2008 season. That also happens to be the last time the Vikings had to rely primarily on Peterson, rather than on the arm of certain #4, which could be the case again this week. The much-touted additions of defensive linemen Ndamukong Such, Corey Williams and Kyle Vander Bosch haven’t exactly turned around what was the 6th easiest defense to run on in 2009. Through 2 games this season, no team has been more lenient on opposing fantasy Ribs than the Lions, who surrendered over 200 total yards and 2 Tads to Matt Forte in Week 1, then watched helplessly as Leeann McCoy racked up 120 and 3 Tads against them last week. Peterson has eclipsed the 100-yard mark in 4 of his 6 career meetings with Detroit and scored 3 times in the 2 matches last year. This is your classic case of unstoppable force facing off against easily-movable object. Expect AP to take full advantage.
Percy Hardin
The hip injury Hardin aggravated in Week 2 is apparently not an issue, but now the ubiquitous migraines have reportedly made a return. Hardin is easily the most reliable and explosive WR at Fare’s disposal, but his status for Week 3 will likely remain up in the air right up until kickoff. Hardin secured 5 grabs for 41 yards and a TD last time Detroit came to Minnesota (Week 2 of last year), and the Lions finished 2009 as the 3rd worst defense against opposing Wars. Hardin managed to fight through the migraines and perform well despite not practicing during the week on more than 1 occasion last year, but the uncertainty surrounding his current condition makes him a fantasy WR3 this week.
Bernard Berrien
If Hardin sits, it’ll be even more important for Berrien to pick up his game in Week 3. Despite being roundly criticized after the Week 2 loss to the Dolphins, it’s a good sign for Berrien’s fantasy value that Fare was throwing it Bernard’s way in crucial situations – both deep downfield and in the red zone. One long TD would go a long ways towards silencing the critics, and few NFL defenses offer a better opportunity than the Lions. Berrien had 6 catches for 46 yards in last year’s 1st match up against the Lions and was targeted another 8 times in the Week 10 win in which Sidney Rice (7 catches, 201 yards) went bonkers. Nobody in their right mind would trust Berrien as a fantasy starter this week, but don’t bail on him completely just yet.
Greg Camarillo
Surely, Camarillo has picked up the offense at this point, right? After another game of Colts jersey
serving limited duty, Camarillo could get pushed into action whether he’s ready or not on Sunday. He’d be the logical replacement for Hardin as the slot receiver should Percy miss the game, and it’s a role he’s very capable of playing. You’re not touching him from a fantasy standpoint, but Camarillo still has the potential to emerge as a usable commodity, especially in PPR leagues. If he plays a significant role against the woeful Lions secondary, he’ll be a trendy pickup on next week’s waiver wire.
Greg Lewis
Despite serving as one of the team’s top 3 Wars in each of the first 2 games, Lewis has just 2 receptions for 26 yards. Even if Hardin sits, I have to believe it would be Camarillo that sees the up tick in attention from Fare, and from a fantasy perspective Lewis remains an extreme long shot to emerge as anything more than a warm body.
Hank Basket
He isn’t Vincent Jackson, but Basket has had a couple of big games when given an opportunity over his 5-year NFL career. Having come from Philadelphia, Basket should be somewhat familiar with the similar Vikings playbook, and he figures to get at least a handful of snaps in Week 3 if Hardin is limited or can’t play. He’s still behind both Camarillo and Lewis in the pecking order, though, so doesn’t get too excited.
Visa the Since
Since once again shone through as the lone bright spot in the Vikings passing game last week, amassing 6 catches for 86 yards as Fare’s favorite pass-catching option. Against a Lions defense that yielded a league-worst 13 Tads to opposing Tees last year, since is once again a no-brainer fantasy starter in Week 3.
Ryan Long well
It shouldn’t come as a surprise that the Lions were exploited more than any other team by opposing kickers in 2009. Thanks to a whopping 55 Pats allowed, no team even came close to allowing as many kicker points as did the Lions.
Vikings Defense
Detroit Abs threw 32 Nits in 2009, and the team as a whole turned the Cowboys jersey
ball over more times (41) than any other team. They were merely bad (rather than horrendous) at protecting the QB, but the Vikings got to them for 5 sacks and 4 forced turnovers in the 2 matches last year. RB Avid Best appears to have added an element of explosiveness their offense lacked a year ago, but QB Shaun Hill isn’t scaring anyone under center, despite his impressive numbers against the Eagles last week. It’s all systems go for the Vikings defense this week.
26 sep 10 Lions-Vikings Preview
A home match up with the Detroit Lions on Sunday would appear to be just what the Minnesota Vikings need to avoid a 0-3 start.
The Vikings, though, will face a Lions team that's showing signs of improvement two years after its 0-16 finish.
Minnesota will try to post its 13th victory in a row at the Metronome over Detroit, but it enters this contest seemingly out of sorts on offense after finishing one win away from the Super Bowl last season.
The Vikings have scored one touchdown in each of nfl jerseys
their first two games and didn't record their first points in last week's 14-10 loss to Miami until Adrian Peterson’s 1-yard run late in the third quarter.
Peterson was also stopped on fourth down on the 1-yard line with 2:16 remaining with his team trailing by four, and Brett Fare threw three interceptions for the first time in 18 games with Minnesota, which fell to 8-1 at home with him under center.
"It's a 14-game season now and we're sitting at the bottom of it," Fare said. "What we do with it from here remains to be seen. It won't be any easier."
Injuries to Fare’s top two receivers from last season haven't helped. Sidney Rice, who had team bests of 83 receptions and 1,312 yards, is expected to miss the first half of the season while recovering from hip surgery.
Percy Hardin has battled migraines and a strained right hip that he aggravated last week. Before they signed Hank Basket on Wednesday, the Vikings' only healthy receivers were Bernard Berrien, Greg Lewis and Greg Camarillo, who have combined to catch seven passes for 85 yards.
Last season, Rice and Hardin accounted for 143 of the team's 377 receptions and nearly half of its 4,403 yards. Chester Taylor also caught another 44 passes out of the backfield, but he signed with NFC North rival Chicago in the off-season.
"We can't make excuses," Fare said. "There will be what-ifs or Pittsburgh Steelers jersey
should, could, would as. That's part of it. You go down swinging and you win swinging. If we don't make it, we don't make it."
Fare is 275 yards shy of 70,000 in his career and two Tads away from 500 as he tries to help Minnesota avoid its worst start since going 0-4 in 2002. The Vikings have won five straight and 19 of the last 21 meetings with the Lions.
Detroit, however, has been competitive in its first two games this season despite losing both. The Lions nearly snapped their lengthy road losing streak in their opener against Chicago, but wide receiver Calvin Johnson's apparent go-ahead touchdown catch was ruled incomplete in a controversial 19-14 loss, their 21st in a row away from home.
Detroit set an NFL record with 24 consecutive road losses from 2001-03.
After falling behind 18 points in the fourth quarter last week at home, the Lions scored a pair of touchdowns in the final 4:13 against Philadelphia before falling 35-32.
"I'm proud to stand among the players," Coach Jim Schwartz said. "This is a tough team, a team that's resilient, that fights through a lot of situations."
Avid Best showcased the potential that made him one of Detroit's two first-round picks in April, catching nine passes for 154 yards and a TD and rushing for another 78 on 17 carries with two scores.
Shaun Hill passed for a career-best 335 yards with two Tads and two interceptions while starting in place of Matthew Stafford, who is also not expected to play this week due to a shoulder injury.
Hill, who played one game as a rookie in Minnesota in 2005, lost both of his previous matches with his former team while with San Francisco, including 27-24 in the Metronome last season.
Fare has won seven consecutive matches with the Lions and has Minnesota Vikings jersey
eight touchdowns and no interceptions in his past four meetings.
Detroit previously beat Minnesota at the Metronome on Dec. 14, 1997, when Herman Moore caught a 1-yard touchdown pass with three seconds left for a 14-13 victory.

Britt, McCourt find going home easier 2nd time
Going home is easier the second time around. Just ask Kenny Britt and Jason McCourt.
The former Rutgers stars played in front of more than 50 family members in the old Meadowlands stadium a year ago when the Tennessee Titans lost that game to the New York Jets.
Now they are visiting the New Meadowlands Stadium to play the cheap nfl jerseys
New York Giants on Sunday.
''Last year I was real excited to get in the game and do some things and make some plays,'' Britt said. ''This year I'm real calm and focused on what we've got to do this week to get a win.''
Britt left Rutgers after his junior season to enter the 2009 NFL Draft and was selected by the Titans with the No. 18 overall pick. The receiver was the first player from Rutgers ever taken in the first round.
The Titans also grabbed his Rutgers teammate McCourt in the sixth round with the 203rd pick.
The rookies went back home during Week 3 last season and it wasn't pretty against the Jets, as the Titans slogged through a 0-6 start. Britt made four catches for 59 yards in front of 45 friends and family. He wound up leading Tennessee for the season with 701 yards receiving.
McCourt was busy that day on special teams with three tackles before injury pushed him onto the field at cornerback.
''Last year I think it was a bigger deal,'' McCourt said. ''I had a lot of family and friends wanting to come to the game. This year, with my brother also being in the league he played there last weekend, so I don't have as many family and friends hitting me up for tickets so that's a plus.''
His identical twin brother, Devin, was selected in the first round by the New England Patriots this year. The McCourt brothers played in the secondary together for Rutgers, sticking close to their Nyack, N.Y., home when they headed off to college. Jason left college a year ahead of his brother, who red shirted.
That's why Jason McCourt is busy scrounging up 10 tickets instead of Cowboys jersey
20 like he did a year ago, but he can't wait to see the new stadium.
''It should be fun just as a football fan just to go to the new football stadium and be able to play in it,'' said McCourt, who splits his time between Nashville and Nanuet, N.Y.
He's going back as the Titans' starting cornerback opposite Cortland Finnegan. Safety Michael Griffin said McCourt will be much more prepared.
''This time he has a lot on his side going into this game,'' Griffin said Thursday. ''That's home-field advantage for him. He's used to everything. He's probably seen everything growing up as a kid, and he's going into this game with a lot of confidence because I'm sure there's going to be a lot of friends and family watching him.''
Britt is getting only 10 tickets for family to watch the Bayonne, N.J., native. He noted he has a 1-year-old son and another child on the way, so he can't afford to be as generous this time around.
Loyalties will be split Sunday, and Britt warns that plenty of people will be wearing Giants' blue hats paired with his No. 18 Titans' jersey.
''It's really special to me because all the people at home that want to see me in a game live instead of on TV can see me there. This year they've got to pay for their ticket,'' Britt said.
They aren't the only Titans (1-1) who will be looking around the new stadium. Kerry Collins played quarterback for the Giants (1-1) between 1999 and 2003, including their 2000 Super Bowl loss. Now he's backing up Vince Young even though he came off the bench to finish off last week's 19-11 loss to Pittsburgh.
''I certainly have a lot of great memories for the old Giants' Stadium. I know they've done it first class. I know the Mara family and the whole organization. Everything they do is first class. I expect nothing less from the stadium,'' Collins said.
Notes: DT Tony Brown (right knee) did not practice again but is expected to play Pittsburgh Steelers jersey
Sunday. DE Jacob Ford (right leg) did not practice, and neither did OT Mike Otto (right knee). ... Titans coach Jeff Fisher was asked about New York's bedbug epidemic and if he had discussed the issue with his team. ''No. Thanks for bringing it up though,'' Fisher said.

24 sep 10 Espinosa’s 2-run homer lifts Nats past Astros 4-3
September call-up Espinosa’s fifth homer barely cleared the out-of-town scoreboard in right field off the second pitch from reliever Jeff Fulchino(notes) (2-1). Astros starter Wandy Rodriguez(notes) walked Justin Maxwell(notes) leading off the inning.
Espinosa scored Washington’s first run of nfl jersey
the game after tripling in the third, coming home on Ian Desmond’s(notes) infield single. Morse’s 12th homer came on Rodriguez’s first pitch of the fourth.
Tyler Clippard(notes) (11-6) earned the win despite allowing two inherited runners to score in the seventh.
Nationals starter Jason Marquis(notes) pitched into the seventh, allowing seven hits and two runs. He’s allowed two or fewer earned runs in five of his last seven starts, showing signs of coming back after having right elbow surgery in May.
Jason Michaels(notes) led off the seventh with a double for his third hit of the game, and that was it for Marquis. Doug Slaten(notes) came in and walked the only batter he faced.
Clippard entered and promptly walked pinch-hitter Anderson Hernandez(notes). After getting Rodriguez to pop up a bunt attempt, Clippard walked Jason Bourgeois(notes) to load the bases, and Angel Sanchez(notes) lined a two-run single to right to put Houston in front 3-2.
Clippard was followed by Joel Peralta(notes), who struck out three batters in 1 1-3 innings. Sean Burnett(notes) got the last two outs for his third save in four chances.
Houston’s first run came in the fourth inning. Marquis got the first two batters out, including Carlos Lee(notes) on a hard liner that left fielder Roger Bernadina(notes) caught with a spectacular dive on a full sprint.

Will Revis, Jets eat their words today?
First off, Tom Brady today needs to toss a Merriam-Webster onto Revis Island. "Slouch" used as a slang noun means one who is lazy and incompetent. Brady's buddy Randy Moss is neither.
Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis, however, associated "Randy Moss" with "slouch" during a nonsensical word-association game instigated by the NFL Network's Deion Sanders in January.
In NFL history, only Jerry Rice has grabbed more football jerseys
touchdown passes than Moss' 149. There is nothing lazy or incompetent about being so acquainted with the end zone.
Yes, Moss-Revis is just the latest foolishness in an overrated Patriots-Jets border war that, for all its bluster through the years, has produced few games comparable to the Patriots-Colts rivalry.
Brady is 13-3 against the Jets as New England's starting quarterback. That is not a rivalry, it's a rout. The games are often the least-entertaining part of Patriots-Jets.
Back to Moss. His production since back-to-back outbursts against Miami and Indianapolis last November (combined 15 catches, 326 yards, 3 TDs) certainly is not in keeping with the NFL's all-time leader in yards per game (77.7) among receivers who have played at least 100 games.
Including the Patriots' playoff loss to Baltimore in January, Moss has not hit his career average in any of his last nine games, averaging 53.3 receiving yards per game over that time.
In the Patriots' 38-24 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals last Sunday, Moss had five catches for 59 yards, including a 32-yard gain. Is Moss overdue for a statistical outburst, or starting over the hill at age 33?
On two trips to Revis Island last season, Moss had a total of nine catches for 58 yards and one touchdown, so it is understandable why 25-year-old Revis might think this old man is a slouch.
Still, while Moss was trying to turn coconuts into radios, other Jets encountered rough seas trying to contain Patriots slot man Wes Welker during the teams' second meeting last season. Welker had 15 catches for 192 yards in a 31-14 Patriots victory in Foxboro.
And that is the idea: To win the game. (The teams split two games last season.)
"I know they feel very good about Revis. I know it's pretty entertaining for Vikings jersey
the fans," Brady said of the Revis-Moss spat. "Ultimately, what it comes down to is our offense against their defense. It's never one guy against one guy. It's about 'can we get the ball in the end zone?' There's no one keeping score on these one-on-one battles. Really, what we're keeping score (on) is the scoreboard."
Moss in full gallop is still a breathtaking sight. Nothing else with only two legs and wearing pads covers so much ground so gracefully fast. Defenders being drawn to No. 81 presents Brady with opportunities elsewhere. But against the Jets, Moss is Revis' alone.
While Revis sat out the Jets' "Hard Knocks" training camp to coerce the Jets into appreciating him more (result: new four-year, $46 million contract with $32 million guaranteed), Moss had his best training camp in four seasons as a Patriot. Moss' rant for a new contract was poorly timed (moments after New England's season-opening victory last Sunday), but he is honoring the final $6.4 million year of his current three-year pact, probably in part because he is eager to get after Revis. Moss said his off-season work was driven by his showings against Colts jersey
Revis last season.
Meanwhile, Revis' name this past week showed up on the Jets' injury report linked to a tight hamstring (a phony excuse just in case?). He fully participated in practice on Friday.
Don't dilute NFL with 18 games
The sobering realities of football were manifest Saturday night as an ambulance rolled onto the UB Stadium field and to the aid of Bulls offensive tackle Matt Ostrowski, who had just suffered a gruesome leg fracture. The play had seemed innocent enough. There was no scrum, no mass of tangled bodies that usually precedes such frightful injuries. Instead, a Central Florida player was blocked into Ostrowski behind the ongoing play, and his falling body struck Ostrowski's leg in a fashion that afforded it no give. Some might say this particular nfl jerseys
misfortune was a one-in-a-million occurrence, and they'd probably be right.
Ostrowski's season is over, just like that, the injury not dissimilar to the one that felled Buffalo Bills guard Eric Wood last season. The nature of the game guarantees that players will be hurt, sometimes in a devastating fashion that requires long, lonely and anguishing recoveries.
Because injuries are inherent to football, because the game often debilitates its participants over their lifetimes, the notion of an 18-game NFL regular season comes across as sheer greed -- a quest to maximize revenues at the expense of those who make the sport their livelihood.
Certainly points of persuasion avail themselves to those in support of expanding the season. The schedule already includes four preseason games that push the overall total to 20. The league merely would replace two preseason games with two regular-season games, a tradeoff that at face value gives fans more for their dollar. Who wouldn't rather see a game that counts instead of a practice tilt?
But do those who support their franchises through season-ticket purchases truly benefit in Buffalo Bills jersey
the long run? The New York Jets lost nose tackle Kris Jenkins for the season from an injury suffered in the opener. The Green Bay Packers will play the rest of the schedule without starting running back Ryan Grant, another opening-day casualty. Surely those teams are no better as a result.
And is there any doubt that swapping preseason games for regular-season games is something less than fair trade? Starters typically see spot duty in the preseason, for no reason other than to protect them. Wouldn't teams give their regulars extended duty, iron out more of the wrinkles, if the threat of injury was nonexistent? Isn't the idea to be nearing top form once the games count in the standings?
Doubtless injuries sometimes unveil new talent through opportunity. Post-draft free-agent signings have become almost as noteworthy as the draft itself. There is no shortage of competent players willing to subject themselves to the sport's brutality either for love of the game, glory or financial gain. There comes a point, however, when the depth pool draws shallow, when the quality of play suffers as injuries mount. And if that becomes the case how does the fan benefit?
Besides, the one place where the talent pool is lean happens to be the most important position on the field. There might be little difference in the Bills if Brian Brohm replaced Trent Edwards, but how about Indianapolis without Peyton Manning, New Orleans minus Drew Brees?
The NFL need only regard the workings of the NBA and the NHL toSteelers jersey
see that more is less. In those leagues, the onslaught of back-to-back games scheduled to maximize prime scheduling dates (and profits in general) have weakened the quality of play and made the regular seasons less compelling. Players take nights off, and with good reason, because the demands of the schedule are excessive.
SERBY'S SUNDAY Q&A WITH. . DAVID HARRIS
The Post's Steve Serby chatted with the Jets' 26-year-old middle linebacker.
Q: Your mentality on the field?
A: Once you step between those lines, you know that the guy on the other team is trying to take your head off, and you have to be in that same mindset to do the same thing to him. It's battle - I don't want to say war because it's not war - there's nothing like this on earth. It's kinda hard to explain. The level of cheap nfl jerseys
intensity and focus reaches its highest level . . . adrenaline is always rushing.
Q: Your best hit?
A: It was against Ohio State, against Troy Smith. He faked a reverse to Ted Ginn, ran around the edge, and . . . that was it. Smacked him. (Laughs) I gave him my all to try to kill him, but he's a tough player, he got up, and finished the game, and had a heckuva game against us.
Q: Do you see yourself as an intimidator?
A: I think I intimidate people like by the way I play. 'Cause I'm always hustling, I'm always running to the ball, and I'm always trying to make a tackle, so I think that stands out on film.
Q: Do you want people to look at you as an intimidator?
A: Sure, why not? (Laughs). What's wrong with that?
Q: I would think playing your position, that would be a plus, right?
A: Yeah. I want people, when they watch film of me, they say, "I don't want to go against this guy . . . for 60 minutes a game.
Q: Because you're going to be out there for 60 minutes.
A: Sixty minutes going hard every play.
Q: The Patriots selected Brandon Meriweather instead of you in the 2007 draft.
A: A lot of people don't know it but, I think I can run pretty good to be the size I am. That was one of the knocks on me coming out of college - everybody said I was too slow, couldn't run sideline-to-sideline, couldn't cover anybody but . . . (I) try to go out every day and prove 'em wrong I guess (chuckles).
Q: Because you're so low-key, do you feel unappreciated around the league?
A: I might not get a lot of fanfare, I guess, but the thing that gets me going after a game is the opponent players call to me like, "You do a heckuva job, keep it up, I've been watching you." That's what (gets) my juices going.
Q: Do you think you can evolve into a Ray Lewis player?
A: That's hard to do. He's one of a kind. I don't think nobody can be compared to Ray Lewis.
Q: Do you talk trash on the field?
A: Only when I have to (laughs). I really don't talk trash 'til somebody talks trash to me.
Q: What do you want Jets fans to say about you?
A: If I play long enough, hopefully I'll go down as one of the all-time great Jets linebackers.
Q: How painful was your ankle during the playoffs?
A: It was very painful but I knew that I had to play. I had to play. Me and Bart (Scott) are key components of this defense, and I wasn't gonna miss a game - especially a playoff game, especially how hard it is to get to the playoffs.
Q: Most elusive running backs?
A: Chris Johnson . . . LaDainian Tomlinson. . . he still is elusive (laughs).
Q: You think he's got plenty left?
A: Yeah he has plenty left . . . Reggie Bush.
Q: The most physical guards?
A: My rookie year, it was Shawn Andrews for the Philadelphia Eagles. When he was in his prime, that guy was a monster (laughs). The guy is 6-6, 340 . . . he plays hard . . . every . . . play. When you watch film of that guy, he's chasing linebackers 20, 30 yards down the field just trying to clean 'em up. He got my respect. Logan Mankins was another great guard up in . . . that team up north (laughs).
Q: You don't have to worry about him this week.
A: Oh yeah, hopefully he don't come back 'til after the season.
Q: Jets fans?
A: They let you know how they feel, one way or the other, and I love New Orleans Saints jersey
it! (Laughs). We have the most loyal fans of any NFL team. We have diehard fans. You wouldn't want it any other way.
Q: You haven't received a contract extension.
A: It's not gonna do me any good thinking about it right now.
Q: Favorite tattoo, other than your wife's name on your right wrist.
A: Yeah, she'd kill me if I said anything different (laughs). Probably this one (1840 on left arm). That's my home address I was born and raised in - 1840 Union, in Grand Rapids. It symbolizes that no matter what happens in life, always remember where you come from.
Q: Compare Lloyd Carr and Rex Ryan.
A: (Laughs) Complete opposites. Lloyd Carr, he's more conservative, more behind-thescenes type of guy. But two great leaders.
Q: Boyhood idol?
A: Derrick Thomas. Super Tecmo Bowl on Nintendo, those people who were playing that, they know Derrick Thomas, 'cause he was a beast. And I always wanted his jersey, but couldn't find it nowhere in Grand Rapids, so I was stuck with getting a Marcus Allen 32 jersey (laughs)
Q: Growing up in Grand Rapids, Mich., weren't you a Lions fan?
Q: I was a Barry Sanders fan. I won't say I was a Lions fan. But, I watched the Lions because of Barry Sanders.
Q: You were a hyperactive kid - what did your parents punish you for?
A: I got three spankings in one day (laughs). I tried to set a pizza box on fire that was on the stove, and I turned the stove on.
Q: Was there pizza in the box?
A: I have no idea, I was like 3 or 4 years old. Then I tried to climb a china cabinet to get this model big rig off the top at my uncle's house. I don't know why I got whupped for the third one.
Q: Detention in second grade?
A: Yup. Miss Benjalink. I talked too much in class, and she had enough of San Francisco 49ers jersey
it (laughs).
Q: You met your wife Jiali at Michigan.
A: She got her Masters in nuclear engineering and I'm a football player so people are like, "How'd you get her? [Laughs]. She's out of your league." We act silly around each other. . . . She has a real good heart. . . . She's unselfish . . . very driven, very dedicated . . . very loving woman.
