Jesus. Detroit might be the dumbest professional organization I have ever seen in the history of sports.

The Detroit Lions agreed to terms with Georgia quarterback Matthew Stafford on a six-year, $78 million deal that includes an NFL-record $41.7 million guaranteed, sources told Yahoo! Sports on Friday. The deal represents the largest amount of guaranteed money for any player – rookie or veteran – in NFL history

No rookie is ever worth that kind of money when they have never taken an NFL snap.

I disagree.  It seems like they have really figured out this draft thing this time.  Seriously though, letting them draft first overall is not unlike letting a retard do your taxes.  Everyone (outside of the retard) knows it's gonna end up all &@#%ed up, but it's worth it because it will also be hilarious.  "132 plus bacon equals boobies?  Well, I guess we'll offer him 41.7 mil guaranteed then."

I hope this isn't another one of those "It's Patterson" things.
