Notes: Ex-Lions LB DeAndre Levy continuing to raise awareness http://www.lionslockerroom.com/authentic-frank-ragnow-jersey , funds for sexual assault victims Kristen Jordan Shamus of the Detroit Free Press has a great article on former Detroit Lions linebacker DeAndre Levy and what he’s up to since his NFL career ended. Levy and his wife,Desir茅 Vincent Levy, are continuing the activism that made Levy such a beloved and polarizing character among fans.The two commissioned a mural in Eastern Market depicting a strong visual regarding sexual assault victims and encouraging them, and the people in their lives, to speak out and listen to one another. Levy has long been speaking out against sexual assault. Back in 2016, he raised $30,000 to test discarded rape kits in order to help victims find closure by bringing their assaulters to justice. Today, he’s still fighting the same fight. The Levys have started a “Crowdwise” funding site to help get more unopened rape kits tested. According to the site Womens Nick Bellore Jersey , they’ve already raised over $40,000. If you’re interested in donating, you can do so directly here, or you can purchase a shirt here. All proceeds will go to investigating the backlogged rape kits. And if you’re wondering if you’ll ever see Levy in the NFL again, the answer is very clearly no.“I’m retired. There is no reason to be playing football or supporting football right now,” Levy told the Free Press. “I can think of more reasons not to support it than to actually support it.”The Lions’ fast-paced tempo on offense in Week 1 was the quickest of the NFL, but it didn’t do them any good: ESPN’s Michael Rothstein has a good story on Eli Harold, who fought through depression early in his career and throughout the Colin Kaepernick era. This is next-level Detroit Lions cosplay: Chris Spielman and Lomas Brown are two of 102 players nominated for the 2019 Pro Football Hall of Fame class. Techmo Bowl has spoken Womens Marvin Jones Jr Jersey , and it’s not good news this week: Matt Patricia joined Tori Petry to talk about what makes the 49ers so dangerous both on offense and defense and break down some of San Francisco’s game film. You’re probably wondering how much it cost for the Raiders to finally snag Johnathan Hankins. Well...

Congrats to the St. Louis Blues and Toronto Raptors. No matter how much Drake or the song “Gloria” was shoved in our face, Boston (all their teams combined lately sans the Celtics) and Golden State make Thanos jealous with the amount of rings they have. It was time to spread the wealth.The other cool aspect is both franchises have been around at least 25 years and had no championships to show for it. We can now mark them both off the list of championship-less ineptitude. But there are still quite a few franchises still waiting to get their turn. All the athletic kids have been picked for the team, even the “not really that good but big/strong” kids have been picked. Yes, we are down to the merely popular kids and friends of the Captain getting their names called. At this point you just don’t want to be the very last person selected.Although we have empathy with all franchises in this position—especially as fans of the Lions—we are now going to focus on the NFL. Who’s name is next to be called? Who is the next franchise to win their first Super Bowl? Here are your contestants: Arizona Cardinals, Atlanta Falcons Womens Miles Killebrew Jersey , Buffalo Bills, Carolina Panthers, Cincinnati Bengals, Cleveland Browns, DETROIT LIONS, Houston Texans, Jacksonville Jaguars, San Di... errr Los Angeles Chargers Womens Devon Kennard Jersey , Minnesota Vikings and Tennessee Titans.Look over the list. Think. Ponder. Throw emotion and homerism out the window. Who’s the next of those teams to win it all? I sip the Kool Aid like everyone else. In fact, I envision the Lions winning it all at least several times a week. I’ve even got emotional and teary-eyed just thinking about it. But the next team to be called wears a different color blue.David Butler II-USA TODAY SportsThe Los Angeles Chargers are my pick. They have all you’d need to make that next leap. Recent success (12-4 in 2018). Elite skill position players on offense (Melvin Gordon, Keenan Allen, Hunter Henry and the not elite but ascending Mike Williams). Premier defensive players (Joey Bosa, Melvin Ingram, Casey Hayward, Detroit’s own Desmond King and a promising young stud safety Derwin James. And if we follow the Patriot model of always having a good coach and QB they have that as well. Anthony Lynn is proving to be one of the better new coaches and Philip Rivers is one of the most overlooked elite QBs. He also has 78 kids so that has to count for something.Top to bottom this is one of the best rosters with a good coach and a great QB. Aside from taking the easy money and picking the Patriots every year, if I were to pick a Super Bowl Champion right now Kerryon Johnson Jersey , the Chargers would be under strong consideration. The biggest issue with them has been injuries. The majority of those players I mentioned has had significant injuries recently. And at 37, Philip Rivers is no spring chicken. But in terms of talent and coaching they have what it takes. I’d love to say it’s our Lions. This past offseason was a success and I think we have something special brewing. But for now, the Chargers are in the best shape to join the championship ranks. All they now need is a gimmick like an entertaining celebrity fan or a cheesy old song and they’re good to go. Wait the Lions have Toto’s “Africa”. Maybe we’re the next t... never mind.Your turn. Who you got?
