IT IS THE LIONS AND RAMS IN DETROIT TO KICK OFF THE '24 NFL SEASON Author of the article: Article content FIRST DOWN They are ready to kick off the 2024 National Football League season. And for the Detroit Lions it begins this weekend with a Sunday night game against the Los Angeles Rams. It was the Rams who the Lions upended in the first round of last season's playoffs and ended, for Detroit, a decades long drought of post-season futility. The Lions would then continue a roar of a season when they defeated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for a second straight home field playoff victory. Both playoff wins at Ford Field were complete with an electric atmosphere that few, if any Lions fans, had ever been a part of. The Lions would then lose to the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC championship game. And as disappointing as that was, given that Detroit had a big half time lead before the home field 49ers came back to win, in the end it could not take away what an incredible season the Lions had, posting an overall record of 14-6 and getting to within one game of the Super Bowl. This season? The schedule is tougher for Detroit, no question. But they return a star cast of offensive weapons led by quarterback Jared Goff, running backs Jamyr Gibbs and David Montgomery, wide receivers Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams and tight end Sam Laporta. The defence? We shall see. But it certainly seems like an improved lot with key defenders such as edge rush Aiden Hutchinson, defensive backs Brian Branch, Kerby Joseph and Ifeatu Melifonwu having gained valuable experience during last season's stirring run. Add in veteran linebacker Alex Anzalone and second-year LB Jack Campbell and it's a unit that one has reason to feel pretty good about. The Lions 2024 home opener will mark a second return to Ford Field for former Detroit quarterback Matthew Stafford. The former Lions star almost engineered a playoff upset of his old team for the Rams in last season's playoff. But as good as Stafford played for the Rams, Lions quarterback Jared Goff was just as good if not better as Detroit eked out a narrow win over Los Angeles in what has already been recorded as an epic playoff match — one for the ages. It was just a few years ago that Stafford and Goff were part of a blockbuster trade between the Lions and the Rams. The trade has worked out well for both sides. Stafford won a Super Bowl in his first season as the Rams QB while the Lions have used Goff and multiple draft picks obtained from L.A. in the trade to help build a foundation for what is now a powerhouse Detroit team. At any rate, NFL fans, another season is just about ready to kick off. As for the Lions: can they make it to the Super Bowl for the first time in franchise history? Lions fans, I am sure, are already anticipating the thrills of what just could be another adventure. GLAVOTA TO SUDBURY One door closes, another one opens. Cut by his hometown Soo Jr. Greyhounds of the Great North Under 18 Hockey League, Madden Glavota has rebounded to secure a position with the rival Sudbury U18 Wolves. With a Nov. 20, 2008 birth date, Glavota will be one of the younger U18 players in the Great North come the looming '24-'25 season. The youngster said he is “ecstatic” to sign with Sudbury following a recent showing at the U18 Wolves camp in which he impressed first-year head coach Scott Rienguette and his staff. A gritty forward who stands in at 5-foot-10, 170 pounds, Glavota skated for the U16 AA Jr. Greyhounds in '23-'24. Notably, he has deep hockey bloodlines through his dad, John Glavota. The elder Glavota was a hard rock defenceman for the powerhouse Soo Legion AAA midget squad of the early 1990s before going on to play two years of junior hockey in midwestern Ontario followed by four seasons at Laurentian University in Sudbury, where he met his future wife — and Madden's mom — Angie. An overachiever, Glavota then toughed it out for nine seasons at the minor pro level in various outposts before the ultimate honour of playing for the Croatian National Team. As the elder Glavota made it the hard way, so too it seems as though the younger Glavota is following the same path. LAKERS AND A T-BIRD Lake Superior State University Lakers have made a non-binding, verbal offer to high-scoring Soo Thunderbirds forward Jacob Smith. The Lakers are a Division 1, National Collegiate Athletic Association program based in Sault Ste. Marie, Mich. The LSSU offer, which has been accepted by Smith, is a verbal commitment, is not binding and can be rescinded by the school at any time. Smith, who has a 2006 birth date, was a top rookie performer in the Northern Ontario Jr. Hockey League in '23-'24 while leading the Thunderbirds in scoring with regular season totals of 29 goals, 37 assists, 66 points in 58 games. He added two goals in six playoff matches. A later developing player, Smith was also an Ontario Hockey League supplemental draft pick of the Ottawa 67's in 2023. MY OH MY!
