Sad news. After JUST 21 Seasons with the Lions, our kicker, Mr. Jason Hanson is retiring.

truly a sad day for all Lions fans ..... it will be weird not seeing him on the field this year

From the title I thought you were talking about Chris Hanson from to catch a predator lol

one of the best fantasy kickers as the lions had some difficulty hitting the end zone quite a bit...solid player

I heard rumors of Akers on the Detroit forums.

Great, Akers.

Fantastic. Can't wait. I just watched him implode this past season out here in the Bay Area.

My fellow Lions fans will back me up on this, 100 percent guaranteed.

No need to watch the 2013 season, I'll tell you EXACTLY how this year will unfold:

Stafford gets MVP, Calvin breaks his own record, Suh wins Defensive Player of the Year, Milliner wins Defensive ROY (with like 11 picks), Bush finishes second in MVP voting with 1,200 rushing yards, 650 receiving yards and like 24 total TDs.

Detroit goes 12-4, wins the division, gets a bye.

Beats Green Bay and then SF in the NFC title game.

Plays Denver in the Super Bowl in one of the most exciting, wire-to-wire finishes in history.

Lions trail by two, 41-39, with three seconds on the clock, Akers lines up for a 41-yard FG to win it.

Wide left.

Lions lose Super Bowl, fans say "Hanson would have made that."

If you all want to waste your time and money watching the NFL this year, go for it, but this will happen.

LOL.

I luv ur lol at the end of that! Ya that would be nice but ill take 10-6 w/ a wild card! My god I luv the way u think but Akers left without a contract so not sure he's coming back. We'll get someone but since all we'll be doing is scoring td's, all he'll have to do is kick off and kick x-points! Ooooooh ya!
