Well, it gets Josh back to the show. But how embarrassing is this? al. I am a gay twerker that has no balls!!!! I also have no idea how to use the quote function to post stories, so I annoy the piss out of others. I like male genatalia in and around my mouth.
Former Auburn linebacker Josh Bynes is joining the Detroit Lions. The Lions plan to sign Bynes off the practice squad of the Baltimore Ravens on Tuesday.
Bynes will fill the roster spot left vacant when Detroit put linebacker Stephen Tulloch on the injured reserve list on Monday. Tulloch suffered a torn ACL during the Lions' 19-7 victory over the Green Bay Packers on Sunday. Tulloch hurt his knee celebrating after sacking quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Tulloch was mockingly doing the Discount Double Check move from Rodgers' commercials for State Farm Insurance when he hurt himself.
Detroit defensive coordinator Teryl Austin spent the previous three seasons as the secondary coach for the Ravens.
Baltimore waived Bynes on Sept. 2 to make room on its roster for cornerback Derek Cox before its season-opening game.
"All I can tell you about Josh Bynes is that if we can ever bring him back, we will in whatever capacity we can," Baltimore coach John Harbaugh said when the Ravens released the linebacker. "He's been a Raven through and through. He's done nothing but help us be our best. He's completely all in for everything that we've ever done here. I love Josh. I know he'll do well no matter what he does going forward."
The Ravens re-signed Bynes for their practice squad on Sept. 4.
Thank u Lord for a new opportunity! Forever grateful! Much love for Baltimore as well!

The move to the Lions reunites Bynes with Nick Fairley, who is a defensive tackle for Detroit. Bynes and Fairley were teammates at Auburn in 2009 and 2010.
Bynes was the leading tackler for Auburn's 2010 BCS national championship team, but NFL teams passed on him in the 2011 draft. He wound up catching on with Baltimore as a member of the Ravens' practice squad, and he made his way to the active roster for one game in his rookie season.
In training camp for the 2012 season, Bynes suffered a cracked vertebrae. The Ravens waived him, but brought him back when he had recovered. Bynes played in 10 games that season, starting the final three regular-season contests with Baltimore star Ray Lewis sidelined by an injury. When Lewis returned for the playoffs, Bynes still played in all four postseason games, including the Super Bowl victory over the San Francisco 49ers, in which he made the game's final tackle
When Lewis retired after the 2012 season, the Ravens signed Smith from the Jaguars to take his place. Bynes still started the first six games of the 2013 season, with Smith on the strongside and Bynes on the weakside in Baltimore's inside-linebacker alignment. Bynes started while Jameel McClain recovered from an injury.
This season, the Ravens are starting Smith and rookie C.J. Mosley from Alabama at their inside linebacker spots.
