  1. I'm not going to say it wasn't a bummer. Two weeks before though, Gamblin' Dan threw on 2nd & 9 in a run situation to seal the victory at the end of the game against the Rams, and everyone thought it was a great call. Live by the sword, die by it. The bottom line is the 49ers started that game flat as a pancake. We were 7-point underdogs for a reason. Reality caught up to them. It just took a half. Losing Barnes at LB was a killer. That meant the 3 remaining LBs had to play every down, including Rodriquez, who rarely played at all during the regular season. Mccaffrey took over, and Purdy started to move. As Walter pointed out earlier, that's our defensive kiss of death. The bottom line is that loss may not have been pretty, but the Lions went just as far as they should have. No remorse or regrets here. I enjoyed the season. I don't like the 6–8-day variation in rest between playoff games. Have the NFC play on Saturday throughout, and the AFC play on Sunday. I think a Monday night playoff game is also unfair. Your reward for winning your division shouldn't be to lose a day and a half of rest. This year it was a bottom seed, Tampa on Monday. Will it always be that way?
  2. Lol...That's what my Dad called it. In high School, our wrestling team had what was called, "The Void Brothers". These were 3 weight classes they had no one for. We lost every meet for that reason. The wrestling coach was our football line coach. He bugged me from the moment football ended to join the team to the point of harassment. "We need you! You won't even have to lose any weight! For a couple weeks, I actually had to hide from the guy between classes. Missing the bus and having to walk home a couple miles in the dead of Winter did not interest me in the least!
  3. You have to really appreciate the absurdity of the news articles and the statistics they use. I'm reading one article about the merits of waiting until you're 70 to collect social security to maximize your benefit. Right next to it sits the article with the headline, Male Life Expectancy drops to 76. Further on, there's Suzi Orman telling me the average American can't scrape $500 dollars together for an emergency. Right below that is another article stating the Average American has $60,000 in their savings account. Not deferred money, their actual savings. This is followed by an article claiming the merits of renting as opposed to buying a home. Scroll down and there's the article stating that over half of renters are spending more than 50% of their earnings on housing. What a fool believes?
  4. Bally Sports goes bankrupt and they're supposedly going to be bought by Amazon. You know what that means, and if I don't pay to watch the NFL, I'm sure not going to pay to watch baseball.
  5. Last time I checked, Josh Reynolds didn't play a down on defense.
  6. Why is it I never hear anyone bring up the subject of State-sponsored religions as it relates to the current conflict in the Middle East? Why is the concept of 'freedom of religion' and its counterpart 'freedom from religion' such a difficult concept for some Americans to understand? One would think that the inherent causes of the long-term conflicts in the Middle East would make every American pause and reflect on what makes this country's form of government unique compared to most others. You're under attack? I haven't seen many Catholic or Evangelical churches have to stand in front of a local zoning board trying to justify their existence and right to build. I haven't seen any legislation pass asking your church to pay its fair share of taxes. I do see a Catholic church that uses its tax-free financial resources to assist and encourage immigration from our Southern border, yet I don't hear a word of scrutiny concerning their efforts. I see a bunch of Evangelicals hell-bent on bringing 'invisible sky people' into public schools so they can sell their agenda. The only thing I see is a society that's changed and evolved further towards individual freedoms, as opposed to conforming to what was once a majority that shunned anyone who had the nerve to exercise their freedom and not play along. The World Elite and mass migration? Lol. They couldn't get together to decide whether the toilet paper roll goes over or under.
  7. Sing with me Steve! Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war, With the cross of Jesus going on before. Christ, the royal Master, leads against the foe; Forward into battle see His banners go! Refrain: Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war, With the cross of Jesus going on before. At the sign of triumph Satan’s host doth flee; On then, Christian soldiers, on to victory! Hell’s foundations quiver at the shout of praise; Brothers, lift your voices, loud your anthems raise. Like a mighty army moves the church of God; Brothers, we are treading where the saints have trod. We are not divided, all one body we, One in hope and doctrine, one in charity.
  8. Really don't have an opinion on Taylor Swift, but I'd rather see her than that naked hairy Russian bear hanging out the window.
  9. Before the season started, I had the Lions at 9-8 and barely making or missing the playoffs. In that regard, I would have to say it was an over-all successful season. However, I also have friends and relatives who are convinced this season was the start of some long-term success. My reply to them is I thought the same thing in 1992, and 32 years later..... If the Lions sign Jared Goff to a long-term deal, and I believe they will, then they better use their heads and constantly draft into their strength which is their offensive line, which was pretty banged up yesterday before the game even started. Without one, Goff is useless, and defensive improvements will not matter. I'm starting to get this feeling Gamblin' Dan doesn't like kickers and doesn't think they should decide an NFL game. Somebody needs to sit him down and explain that two field goals = touchdown. Kids make 48-yard field goals at the lowest level of college ball these days. If you couldn't trust your kicker after a whole season of a revolving door at that position, then that's on you and the GM! I wonder about Dan Campbell's act long-term. Sustaining his style of coaching will not be easy for him or his players. Good luck in the Super Bowl Redrum. My 2nd favorite uniforms and I always rooted for them back in the Brodie days.
  10. It's been so long since a successful Lion season that the end is going to be a bit sudden and rude, no matter what happens. Local radio is reporting that 20-25% of the crowd will be Lions' fans. The only Lion swag I have is two winter hats. Somebody bought me a Johnny Morton jersey for Christmas many years ago. He was traded 10 days later. However, I do have a beaded chain with a Lion logo attached I can wear around my neck. Thanks Strider!
  11. Why won't you watch? Because of the Bills? Hell, if I followed that rule, I would have never watched a Super Bowl instead of all of them. I kind of like the simulation theory. It doesn't really offend. God could be the master programmer, and your doppelgangers are nothing more than subtle program adjustments. Reincarnation through software.
  12. Whew! You'd swear there was some kind of recent legal decision that fired up the Trump troops today. Gas below $3 bucks, inflation falling, employment rising, record stock market, peak oil production, and in short, the most successful economic rebound currently in the world. That might explain why 5 conservative entertainment news networks are spending all day talking about immigration. People have been arguing about that since we let in your great grandparents over 100 years ago, so good luck with that! Partisan judges, tainted juries, false testimony from obvious whores...when will they finally leave the invisible sky people's Earthly representative alone? Immigration, abortion, legal drugs, free money, it's all the devil's work. Don't just sit on your hands and take it. Do something! Buy some pillows, donate to Don (like your church, he always needs more money), drive a truck to the border, switch your beer, drive 90 on the freeway, root for the Buccaneers, or by all means just turn 'them sons a bitches' off this Sunday. Got my 5th jab last week! Remember people, Man has managed to create 100's if not thousands of Gods through the ages, so the only difference between you and I is 1(one).
  13. My 1991 divisional playoff ticket stub against the Cowboys. Also, the stub from my first Lions game. Check out those prices. I remember people outraged at the $1.50 surcharge.
