For the past couple years, I have feared that the life was being sucked out of our annual Detroit Lions Name Bracket Tournament. Whether it be from the same old schtick with these articles or simply stale names, I felt a bit uninspired running these the last few times.
However, with a new regime and a new set of players, the Name Bracket has new blood and new energy. Our first installment this week—the Kickalicious Region—features 10 new names of the 16 combatants. New names means new facts to figure out and more hyjinx to be had.
