Happy Birthday to us: Pride Of Detroit turns nine

It was an odd feeling when Pride Of Detroit celebrated its birthday last year simply because the NFL Draft was still weeks away. This year, however, it's a more familiar feeling with POD's ninth birthday coming just a few days before the 2015 NFL Draft.

Pride Of Detroit first launched back on April 27, 2006. I was a 15-year-old sophomore in high school, and the Detroit Lions were just two days away from drafting Ernie Sims with their first-round pick. It's been a pretty wild ride since then, and it's hard to believe we're about to cover our 10th NFL Draft on POD.
