this is what happens once these guys leave austin. look at ricky williams and even cedric benson when he does go back. vince young and others. way to make UT proud guys! we still respect you pinkie swear!

That's what happens when a school has such low recruiting academic standards.

A lot of maturity and character.

That's too bad because the Lions are such a respectable organization. You know this team will win at least 10 games.

Have Katrina Hancock investigate and Millen rectify. Some of you will understand that.

OK, hint: Katrina thinks the Stanley cup was used to put water in an old steam car.

"That's too bad because the Lions are such a respectable organization. You know this team will win at least 10 games"

LOL.

We'll see you in Dallas Roy

The Lions are 31-81 since Matt got phat and if they start moving toward .500 -- the world will rock! Look out!

Seems a lot of ex Longhorns are **** bags.......

Can you really fault a guy for not wanting to come to VOLUNTARY Lions' activities? Honestly, showing up for regular season games should be voluntary, this team is that bad...

Haters are out in force today.

The Lions one of the biggest jokes in the nfl this is so fitting to have williams on the team. They need to offer an extension to make it more laughable.

The man hates his job right now and he's dismayed that he hasn't gotten paid, and that he may have to wait another year if he is franchised. I feel for him and I wouldn't want to be "stuck" on the lions. It's not being a hater to say they haven't been good for a long long time. Barry Sanders was 1 season from breaking Walter Payton's record and look how that turned out. Roy's one of the few really good pics they have made and that's mainly the reason he want's out. He doesn't want to be the Manning in New Orleans with AAA talent all around him.

You are right! The Lions are a joke! The Detroit Lions defeated the Dallas Cowboys, 15-10, in the final game at the Pontiac Silverdome. And neither franchise has won a playoff game since the 1990s.

The Cowboys have managed to win a few Super Bowls, as well. The Lions are where medicore players go to die.

I can't blame Roy Williams for wanting out. He's played at a very high level since being drafted, and he realized that (1) this team will never be good; and (2) they won't pay him market value,

Many teams (Dallas, especially) would trade a 1st rounder for him. The Lions aren't making the playoffs this year anyway. Trade him for something or get nothing.

I'm still holding onto a thread of hope for this team to be better. I hope that Calvin Johnson can play a full healthy this year and show Roy how to be a real receiver and a real team player. If the line can keep Kitna from being sacked every other down they might be fun to watch. Still think they'll lose 12 though. Can't help but watch them, it's like a car crash. Just like watching the Maple Leafs you kind of have to look.

Give him Fitzgerald money or Moss or Owens money and he will show up. Or trade him now and get a first round pick.

A first round pick for roy williams you have to be joking
