Long suffering Detroit Lions fans have been looking forward to this season hoping that for the first time in living memory that Lions might be able to compete for a playoff spot. Last week their top draft choice Nick Fairley went down with a foot injury that required surgery. He'll probably miss the entire pre season. This morning second round RB Mike Leshoure tore his achillies and is out for the season. I know injuries are part of the game but we haven't even played a game yet!
