Today I watched the most pathetic game of football ever played. It was so bad and boring, I actually started watching the game clock to see if the game could be the shortest NFL game ever. There was a reason this game was blackout... because NOBODY should have watched it. Yes, the Detroit Lions have reached a new low in my mind.

This game was so bad, I found myself wondering if figure skating was on another channel. I would rather watch America's Next Top Model than the sad display of pigskin tossing. In fact, a walk through Charlotte Rousse during a shoe sale on a Saturday night would have beaten the display the Lions were able to put on the field. Why was it so bad? The "starting" quarterback was a man who had been in retirement for about 5 months because NOBODY wanted him. Just like how NOBODY in Detroit and the surrounding area were able to watch the game. The NFL was doing Lions fans a favor, trust me it was a new low.

Why was it so bad? Words cannot describe but I am now certain of this one thing... GOD is not a Lions fan. And if He is... then He has a strange sense of humor and I'll be honest... its not even funny anymore. Do I want them to go 0-16... yes, but not like this. Where have the great lions losses gone? Like earlier in the year! The lions came back down to Green Bay 21-0 to take the lead at 25-24 with about 4 and a half minutes left in the game. Final score of that game 48-25. Is there any other team in the history of football who can allow a team to DOUBLE their score in 4 1/2 minutes? Unbelievable but at least it was exciting. Or when we were in Chicago, going into overtime and the Lions WON the forecast! Yes, we get the ball first... but oh no, not those tricky, witty Lions... they took the wind. Chicago said thank you and minutes later left the field with a W. Only the Lions.

Today's game was just a straight up... we suck and we are gonna play this game like a Madden Football game. The lions had one play... Calvin Johnson go deep and throw up a prayer. Pathetic.


Last Call
I had a great weekend doing just about nothing. I parked myself in our chair... with three remotes,a laptop, a pair of glasses and a PS3 controller. I was able to watch football, TV, surf the web and play video games all without getting out of my seat. With a wife to serve me... I cannot complain at all.
