Earlier this week, Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid told a crazy story about how he once used a play from a janitor, and it actually resulted in a touchdown. “I took one from a janitor one time at Green Bay,” Reid said. “He goes, ‘I got this play for you.’ And he kept telling…
Welcome back to school, college football. Is that too corny? No matter; nobody from Nebraska is watching these games today anyway out of misery and sadness, so corn will have nothing to do with it.

The Detroit Lions will be facing the KC Chiefs on Thursday for the opening game of the year. Who will win the game? Will the Detroit Lions be able to win Week 1? Also, should the Lions trade away James Houston for players or draft picks? And should the Lions look to trade for Kicker
