I don't think he's one of those guys whose just washed up with a recognizable name. He's still got some good years left in him imo.
see this is the mystery that no one really knows

he hasnt been the same player every since he signed that huge extension 4 years ago

he was still good in 11 but his play slipped a little,in 12 and 13 he was subpar

he bounced back in 14 and had a good year but got popped for PEDs at the end of the year

some might say the PEDs are why he had a bounce back year and without them he might go back to the subpar player he was in 12 and 13

this is why i wanted us to trade him instead of extending him

dude has already stole enough money from us,im just glad that massive contract is finally gone

That's completely fair. I'm not doing backflips over the signing myself, but as a Lions fan we've seen or share of clearly washed up players with a name come here and the front office and media act as if it's some kind of big deal. I could run off a list of names, with Larry Foote probably being the most recent. Just saying I don't think this move is to that degree.

besides lemon..onion and garlic powder is a go to in the clutch for me :wow:. anything with some heat will work too. I dont really care for plain salt too much these days though, most food items have enough of it already to satisfy the taste buds:ehh:
:myman:Add some fresh ground black pepper and I feel like I can make anything delicious.

The NFL is becoming like the NBA with the trades and shyt this week. This kind of stuff used to rarely happen and it makes for good entertainment that these name players are getting traded when for years that wasn't the case.

Honey bbq gotta be in the discussion
The thing is, I feel like it has GOAT potential, but is mad inconsistent. Depending on what it's on that shyt could taste like flavor from heaven, but sometimes it doesn't know if it wants to be more honey or bbq which causes it to be more of a top 10 flavor for me.

Next time you hit the D check out the Turkey Grill on Woodward fam. It's :noah:

@eastside313 They have the Fred Flinstone giant legs (best way I can explain it:russ:) all types of flavors, the lemon pepper is :ohlawd:. Meal sizes are of a nice portion, Def worth the bread.

I wanna say I've been there before, like 12 years ago or so. My boy took me to a spot that was real low key caked the turkey something. They had all kinds of turkey leg and wing meals. Not sure if it's the same spot and they just moved or what. I'll def add it to my list next time I come back home. Me and my wife have spots we have to hit when we come back. We keep adding to the list with all these new places opening up. I love it too. We actually get to see more of the city and go out more when we come back to visit than when we lived there.

My uncle told me they opened a Lockhart bbq spot up there and I know they got a Texas de Brazil now too. The cool thing in Detroit is that the little local hood/mom and pop spots still be popping along with the chain spots. Down here in Dallas, unless you in the South area, you get the same basic spots you see everywhere.
