Mock Draft - 2 Live Mayhew Edition

Mock Draft - 2 Live Mayhew Edition



Sticking with a theme for Mayhew I went with another controversial group that was hotly debated for their merits during their run of hits and albums helping pave way for the Miami Bass sound that would influence hiphop tracks and an edgy style that pushed the boundaries of acceptability and CENSORSHIP.

In the Draft room all day and all of the night
Two Round two, I took I took ALi Marpet for the honolulu blue

Early career

The 2 Live Crew was created by DJ Mr. Mixx (David Hobbs) with fellow rappers Fresh Kid Ice (Chris Wong Won), and Amazing Vee (Yuri Vielot). The group released its first single, "Revelation", in 1985. "Revelation" was popular in Florida, so The 2 Live Crew (sans Amazing Vee) relocated to Miami. Rapper Brother Marquis (Mark Ross) joined The 2 Live Crew for its next single "What I Like". Local rapper Luke Skyywalker (Luther Campbell) gave The 2 Live Crew a record deal and worked as the group's manager and then lead vocalist.[7]

Move Somethin'[edit]

Move Somethin' is the second album by Miami hip hop group 2 Live Crew. The album was released in 1988. It was also certified Gold and featured the single. "ONE AND ONE"
Campbell decided to sell a separate clean version in addition to the explicit version of the next album, Move Somethin' (1988), produced by Mr. Mixx. A record store clerk in Alexander City, Alabama, was cited for selling a copy to an undercover police officer in 1988. It was the first time in the United States that a record store owner was held liable for obscenity over music. The charges were dropped after a jury found the record store not guilty.

The chicken or the egg?

which one comes first? The chicken (Oline) or the egg (RB)?

There are legitimate arguments on both sides of the aisle. A great RB will make any O line look better than it really is but at the same time a great O line will make any RB look better than he is.....

So, here we are. Are the Lions, as we know them, ready to make that leap? If you read the mock drafts that have flooded our lives, you know that the one of the two "first round RBs" will likely be available to the Lions at pick 23. The problem, there is a reason they are available.......

RBs aren't first round material anymore. Rule changes have devalued the position too much to be viable first round selections, except for those teams stuck in the stone age.

I want to believe the Lions aren't spending their time chipping rocks making crude outdated tools.....

The Truth Hurts, Lions GM edition.

Our GM took issue with being asked during his predraft presser about his inability to find offensive play makers beyond the first round. Specifically, Titus Young, Mikel Leshoure, Derrick Williams and Ryan Broyles. His response was defensive and predictable.

"Well, I would consider Joique Bell to be an offensive playmaker," he said of the Wayne State product he signed off the New Orleans Saints' practice squad. "He's a pretty good player. I think (2013 sixth-round pick) Theo Riddick's also a pretty good player for us as well. The first part of your statement, I disagree with that."
 Joique wasn't drafted and Riddick hasn't done a damn thing. If we are being honest, has he drafted anyone on the offensive side that has turned into a play maker? Petigrew had a couple good seasons but beyond that? Nothing.

Finally someone in the media is ready to ask real questions of this front office instead of throwing them softballs all day long.

Lions exercise Reiff's 5th year option.

From the category of, derp why did you wait so damn long, we finally have news that the Lions have decided to do what they should have done all along. Reiff's 5th year will cost the Lions $8.07 million but if we are being honest, that should just be the starting point for a new contract for him. Reliable plus LTs don't grow on trees and the Lions need to get him locked up for a fair deal long term as soon as possible.

Chris Spielman to announce the Lions 2nd round pick

Ok, the title covers it all. Unless we trade our pick we can expect Spielman to do his thing. Does he announce our pick from a broken facemask?

This is what a real football player looks like.

NFL leaks? No way.... Lions hosting Eagles on Turkey day?

I know, I couldn't believe it either. Lions vs Eagles on T day? What is that all about? I had to look up when and or if we had ever played them on turkey day. We did! In 1968 and we lost, 12-0.

Time for revenge!!!! Carving a different bird this season on turkey day.

Lions Cut Rodney Austin!

Detroit has cut Rodney Austin after he was arrested on 4/17/15 for and is now facing charges of assault on a child under 12 years old, Assault on a female, interfering with emergency equipment and misdemeanor larceny.

Unless I am wrong, I believe Austin was the front runner to take over the LG position until someone else better was found to man the spot. That someone else is going to have to be found sooner than later now.

Damn shame.

NFL season schedule to be announced tonight

The waiting is almost over. Soon enough, we will know when and where on the schedule we will see each team that we already know we are going to play....

Home: Oakland, Denver, San Francisco, Arizona, Philadelphia, Minnesota, Green Bay, Chicago

Whoop somebody's ass! Warford edition.

“We have to be more aggressive,” Warford said Monday after the first day of offseason workouts. “We can’t be as technical as we tried to be. The biggest thing is we tried to break everything down. We tried to focus on a bunch of stuff at once, down to the smallest detail and in offensive line play, that’s cool, but at the end of the day you have to whoop somebody’s ass.
