At the end of practice they make the ride back to the locker room. Vince Lombardi was the first coach to ask his players to do it, hoping it built the relationship with the fans. An NFL spokeswoman |

After winning a total of two games combined over the previous two years, Detroit closed out 2010 with a mighty roar, ripping off four straight victories that included the eventual Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers as one of the victims. The long and gloomy days of reckless mismanagement and constant personnel blunders finally seem to be in the rear-view mirror for the Lions, replaced by a hungry and exuberant roster full of young talent that's slowly beginnin |
