The Next Level: A Game I had to play! http://www.vernonturner.com/ He was on the Sirius Blitz yesterday on Sirius NFL Radio. His story is amazing at what he overcame to be the man he is and the player he was. Just 1 of those things: His mother was brutally raped and 9 months later, he was born. His mother became addicted to drugs to ease the pain of her brutal rape and to pay for the drug had become a hooker. edited to add: He mentioned that 3 hollywood producers are reading his book right now. So, this may just become a movie. _________________ Fisher or Joekel or Lane Johnson for #5 overall. I have settled on Johnson as my preference. The only thing Joekel and Fisher have over him is experience at LT. 2 years from now, Lane Johnson will be known as the best LT of this draft!

Was a great play at the end of a game I had given up for dead. However, I also remember him having very negative words for Fontes and the whole Lions organization. _________________ "Who we are on the field are the bad guys. ...

Couple of quotes from the book: Vernon Turner wrote: I personally think Coach Wayne Fontes had a huge hand in screwing with my career, and he really did a number on me. He made my stay in the organization a miserable experience. Vernon Turner wrote: I wasn't too keen on the city of Detroit in general. It felt kind of dreary. Hell, it seemed damn near depressing for me. But I set that aside, because the most important thing for me was having the opportunity to continue my pro career. I barely remember him, think he fumbled a couple of times when he was here... He also claimed Barry ate food from his locker... Barry tweeted Barry Sanders wrote: I don't remember eating some of VT's food... But I am sure I asked first if I did. He was also the first Buc to return a punt for a TD (remember that stat of them never having one), of course it was againt the Lions. _________________ LB Tweet
