Barry Horn E-mail News tips
The good folks from Showtime's Inside The NFL sent this by special delivery and I pass it on for it is better to give than receive (except at the start of NFL overtime periods.)
On tonight's show insider Michael Lombardi anoints Jason Garrett the leading candidate for the vacant Detroit Lions job because is "the guy they think can turn their franchise around."
That prompts Cris Collinsworth to ask: if the Cowboys have lost faith in Garrett.
Responds Lombardi: "You know, I think there's a lot of truth to that."
That leads to a discussion of who the Lions will take with the first pick in the draft.
LOMBARDI: "Well, as you guys know, the Lions need a quarterback desperately. And I think Sam Bradford, the young man from Oklahoma who's going to play (Thursday)... who's a sophomore, a red shirt sophomore, so he's eligible for the draft. He can come out. He's going to declare and come out. And I think that now makes Detroit a very attractive job. And I think what Sam Bradford did... he's made a decision. "How much better can I be going back to college or coming out in the draft?" I mean, what would you do?"
COLLINSWORTH: "Are you saying that he's definitely coming out because I had not heard that?"
LOMBARDI: "He's done all the research. He's made all the phone calls. Assuming things go well in the game--knock on wood nothing happens.... I think he has done all the research, he knows--Matt Stafford from Georgia is also coming out--this is the time to come out because certainly, there's nothing he can benefit from by going back to Oklahoma."
