Sports: Matthew Stafford says he’s ready to save the sucky Lions

  • I think I’m prepared. I’ve been through a lot in my football career. Obviously in college you win more football games than you do in the NFL and you don’t lose as many. Every guy has to adjust to that coming out of college to the pros, but I feel I’m ready for the challenge.
  • Quarterback Matthew Stafford • The Detroit Lions’ top pick in the NFL draft yesterday, on the immense amount of pressure he faces as the guy that everyone’s going to be looking at for answers. The Lions spent enough on the former Georgia star that fans will expect answers, or at least a better-than-winless season out of a historically bad team. • source

Sports: Hockey drama: The New York Rangers will be sans coach today

  • Of course I was shocked. I couldn’t believe it. It wasn’t empty, by the way. He looked at me at that moment and I said, ‘Hey, you hit me in the face!’ He just grinned.
  • Claudette Chandonia • After getting a bottle of Gatorade thrown at her by New York Rangers coach John Tortorella. Tortorella, who suspended former Dallas Star Sean Avery after rough penalties in Game 4 of their series with the Washington Capitals, was suspended himself for the act of coach-fan violence. The NHL does not look kindly on you doing that, just an FYI. • source

Sports: John Madden retiring? But who will bring Turducken to the masses?

  • *Sob* It’s true. The football color commentary icon, who is 73, is now hanging up his mic. He only had a major video game franchise and a long history of saying crazy things under his belt. Man, we just don’t know what we’re going to do anymore. He’s like an icon of everything wrong – and right – with America. source
