I'm sure many of you have never had the privilege of attending a Detroit Lions game in the middle of December so by my kindness, I've decided to let you all live vicariously through me.
The first step is to have your wife get you free tickets. Paying to see a Lions game would be a huge mistake.
Then after driving across the state through a winter storm warning (the next day there was about 15 inches of snow on the ground), grab some lunch at the Hard Rock. That's one of Robert Trujillo's (Metallica) basses.
A "Rock Your World" Quesadilla. To answer your question: yes.
Ty Cobb, "Why the fuck is it so cold?"
Ford Field
Our seats were pretty good for being free. We were only 19 rows up.
Jason Hanson, the best long distance kicker in the NFL.
Good news, Orlovsky didn't run out of the back of the endzone.
Dante Culpepper, "This team couldn't even beat the Raiders or Dolphins when I played for them."
While we were there, we spotted a real-life NFL player that played for the Lions.
The Saints, "Well we can't make the NFL playoffs but at least we can win fantasy football championships today."
Roary, "Fucking kill me."
Get pumped?
Best 0-15 team ever!
This was the last moment of hope I had of a Lions victory. The Saints returned the opening kickoff to the Lions' 40 and scored a TD 5 plays later. They scored TDs on their first 6 possessions.
A familiar sight.
Another familiar sight.
We got outscored by 21 in the first half but Rod gave them "the talk" at halftime and it must have worked because we only got outscored by 14 in the second half. At this point I got sick of taking pictures so I stopped.
After sitting through that, all you want to do is chainsaw some Locusts in Gears of War 2.

Don't worry, you play the Packers next week. I am sure they will find a way to get beaten by a last second field goal and further spiral down the hole that is their season the defense has already flushed down the toilet.

Is it better to be in my situation, and have a really good college team(Oklahoma), than to have an abysmal pro team? I've always wanted to have a pro team in Oklahoma, but something tells me I'd need them to win some games.
And can you please not draft Sam Bradford if he comes out this year?

hey, look at the bright side.
there is nowhere to go but up next year.
also, do not give up hope just yet. the pack have been playing terrible, you may squeak by with a 3 point win.

not true, they could do better but they also could do worse.

I was at Dick's a few days ago and while waiting in line they had a display with winter hats of all the sports teams. I picked up the Lions one and said "This should really be half off" to my friend and everyone in line laughed. Self esteem +1

Poor Bob. I wouldn't wish what's happening to him on anyone, even after our previous disagreements.

Detroit Wild Cats FTW:
Draft Tebow
Sign a couple Troy Smith, Josh Cribbs, etc for occasional sub and injury protection
Also maybe Mike Vick if you're up for some pickets
profit?

honestly i would love to be a detroit fan this season. DEFEATED seasons are what i root for.
everybody's always liek omg i wanna see them play good and get lucky and win a few more games than usual, but really there is much to enjoy in seeing people get screwed imo. its not liek your kid's on the team.
im all or nothing. either 16-0 or 0-16, all else is boring amirong.
