Another ugly, ugly loss. Tigers get blown out by Sox 13-2 to go 0-6 to start the season. Offense has been non-existent, pitching stunk, and defense showed some holes. Hopefully, going on the road will help team's morale.

I don't really keep up with the NFL but I doubt that the Lions have one of the highest payrolls in their league.

Actually, Lions were never tight with money and their payroll is in the upper tier of the NFL. Funny how things are, aren't they?

By the way, this is the first game I get to watch and it is such a stinker today.

There is no such thing as high or low payroll like MLB and NBA. Cap controls all teams spending to the same level. It's how and where it's spent that is good or bad.

How bad was that for Dumbrowski? Sitting there with the Sunday Night Crew and watching the team disintegrate in front of them.

The 2007 NFL payrolls ranged from $75 million (NY Giants) to $123 million (Washington). I don't think that is spending to the same level.
