Isn't that the reason why Matt Millen would sign him in the first place??

I just cannot see Spikes going to the Tigers. He's a football player. Does Detroit have a football team?

The only way a player chooses to play for the Lions, is if it also counts towards their community service!

This guy talks a big game but doesn't deliver when needed.
Any wonder why he's never been in the playoffs in his career?
I'm glad the Eagles released him.
