Kazee, a former fifth-round pick, led the NFL with seven interceptions in 2018. He has appeared in 111 games and made 63 starts during his nine-year career.
I’ve been writing a short story every single day on my blog about life here in Michigan. Most of the stories revolve around me, Jerry, and my Dad, who moved in with us after my mom passed. The dogs are regular characters too—my goldendoodle Bianca, Dad’s little Yorkshire terrier Sofia—and every now and then the cat, Nala, makes an appearance when she feels like supervising us. The kids, Gerard and Mary, and the grandkids pop in from time to time as well. Basically, if you’re breathing in my house, you’re fair game for a story.
This all started back in October when a friend challenged me to start blogging. I didn’t expect much from it—but it turns out I absolutely love it. So much so that I’ve decided to start putting together another book made up of short stories.
Every night now, I write two stories. One is a shorter version for the blog. The other is a longer version of the same story that might become a chapter in a book… or might not. I’m being picky. I only want the gold stories for the book. I already have enough material for about nine books, but I’m waiting for the ones that really shine—the ones that make me laugh out loud or think, okay, this one stays.
I’m inviting you to be part of this little life project of mine. The response so far has been really encouraging, and people seem to enjoy these stories, which still surprises me. If you have time, I’d love for you to read along and tell me which ones you like best. They’re definitely not all great—but some of them are pretty funny. Most are written in the first person, and all of them are real life, slightly exaggerated for survival.
Thanks for being here and sharing this ride with me.
I appreciate referencing Daniel Thomas as a special teams standout. There have been a few plays recently where I’ve found myself navigating to the team website to remind myself who #2 is because he just made a play.
Being honest here, I don't keep tabs on the hundreds of street free agents. I don't have that kind of time to be texting and calling agents on their clients, with a 30% response rate. It's not a good use of my limited resources as a one-man band. I know he struggled last year. He was on Kay Adams' podcast last week and suggested he still wanted to play. The Lions clearly thought Kazee was a better fit.
Well, at least the Lions haven't done a complete el-foldo like the Washy Redskins. Kazee may help with his experience. But I can see the Lions losing all four of their remaining games unless the offense is very, very good again. Even so, with all the big injuries what are you going to have left for the playoffs? With four games remaining, they can still lose a few more starters.

Justin, what do you hear about Justin Simmons? Anything? Is he no longer interested in playing?
