Answer 1

Using this substring count solution to count the line breaks (nchar(10)):

select o.type, o.name, 
    len(m.definition) - len(replace(m.definition, nchar(10), '')) as rows,
    m.* 
from sys.sql_modules m
inner join sys.objects o on m.object_id = o.object_id
--order by type, name
order by 3 desc
