In case you haven't noticed, and judging by the attendance you haven't, the Detroit Lions won a football game! Sweet Moses of Motown! I'm pretty sure that I blew a $3 Honolulu Blue Hawaiian Wonder Cooler all over the place and blacked out (like the game was in Detroit) after seeing the clock hit 0:00 and the Lions having five more points than The Deadskins.
As a life long LieDowns fan and driver of the Bandwagon, I can honestly say that this team really looks...
Mediocre. Still. Mediocre is better than fucking pathetic, which should account for a few more wins this year. All I can say is goddamn it, I'm happier than a vat of Astroglide at a swingers party and for the next five days, I'll revel in it because it might be 2010 before I feel this way about my football team again.
Oh, and don't look now, but the Lions have the same record as the "official" AofG football squad. How 'bout them apples?
P.S.- Stafford can cool it with the Broadway Joe "walk off the field with the #1 in the air" bit. Good game, but you ain't the '68 J-E-T-S.
P.S.S.- It was good to see that the Ford family brought out their resident corpse, errr, owner (see: Ford, William Clay) to see this one. Seriously, that embalming fluid makes him look pale. Put him in a box already.
Technically we're 2-2 and though. We've already chalked up that game in the D as a win.

I wouldn't be so sure about that sir. Well, yeah, you can be sure about it. I can keep dreaming...

Hey Vandelay. Where is everyone these days? Is everyone having computer issues like me?

I just hope the lumber store on Trumbull has enough wood and nails so people can build all those bandwagons.

I'm busy as hell and I'm guessing the same can be said for everyone else. That's the thing with blogging as a hobby...sometimes life just gets in the way.

Is this a fair time to mention that the Raiders are also 1 - 2?

I just have no inspiration these days. I spend most of my time blowing dudes for bus fare.

I felt bad for Detroit that the media made such a big deal out of the win--interviewing the coach on prime time that night. Like anyone actually thought the Lions would never win another game, ever? OK, they really sucked last year, but they were going to win again eventually. It was like the world needed to affirm that they didn't completely suck anymore, which seemed more like an insult.
But, Whatley, it's going to be only a 1 game streak, 'cause my Bears are going to stomp 'em this weekend!
