Stafford, Lions Open Season in Windy City
Former Highland Park Scot and current Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford will open his second NFL season at noon Sunday against the Chicago Bears at Solider Field.
Stafford led Detroit to two wins as a rookie last season, which is pretty impressive considering the team went 0-16 in 2008.
Stafford will also be on with Norm Hitzges on Sports Radio 1310 The Ticket at 11:40 a.m. on Tuesday.
Ummm. Are you being sarcastic mentioning 2 wins? 2 and 14 is not a great rookie season in the NFL. Not sure who you are comparing him to.

I would say a rookie guiding a team that went 0-16 the previous season to two victories is pretty impressive.
