...With a record of 2-11, the silver-and-Honolulu blue are firmly entrenched at No. 32 on any power poll in this spiral arm of the galaxy. Entrenched, that is, until another loss drops them behind Ohio State, Florida and the Hamburg Sea Devils. Think it can't get worse? Hey, this is the Lions. NFL schedule makers saw fit to arrange the endgame Kitty Cats' so, so long season likewise: at the Green Bay Packers where the Lions haven't won since a guy named Brett Favre took over there (that's right, 1992); against the Chicago Bears in a game which figures to see Motor City backers immortalize the chant "Fire *&#!!%&ing Millen!"; and at the Dallas Cowboys , who on New Year's Eve will probably looking to bag the No. 2 seed in the NFC... Kevin Jones, who was knocked out of the loss to the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, figures to be out for the remainder of the season... Pro Bowl nominee Shaun Rogers... was slapped by the commissioner after testing positive for steroids. The judgment had Rogers forcibly sitting out four games and giving up $250,000. Naturally, "Big Baby" was innocent, protesting that the positive test represented a product that the 354-pound Rogers used to help him control his weight. Or he has asthma. Or he thought they were Shawne Merriman's Pez. Or something... Team officials announced yesterday that WR Mike Williams - you remember him: the former first-round draft pick cum The Most Useless Player in the NFL Today - flunked a weigh-in. At 240 pounds, Williams only missed the target set by Rod Marinelli and Co. by 20. Though no punitive measures have been mentioned, any punishment would seem pointless other then some quality time on the bench... Fire &#!!%&ing Millen.

Arizona shouldn’t have scored they should have gone down inside the ten and run out the clock.
To: dfwgator
Worked out for them, though. Petey should have eschewed those 2 pt conversion attempts and then gone for a TD instead of a field goal and onside kick in their last possession. The SH have very inconsistent offense.

Some struggle, that Thursday night game — five field goals, Titans lead into the 4Q, then they add a TD, then Jags score 10 unanswered points, and sack the QB with no time left.

The Lions tottered on to another win, beating the Raiders by 5, Oakland's third straight loss (I recognize the looks on those faces, btw); the Broncos managed to eke out a victory over da Bears; I hate to have to do it, but I'm pulling for the Packers to beat the Vikings, then go on to lose their remaining games. Of course, that's one way to do it, and I've not checked to see who's gotta lose in the other NFC divisions to help the Lions back into the playoffs as a wild card, assuming they run the table.
It's not so farfetched. Romo's back at the tiller for the Cowboys, and that appears to have made the difference today, raising them to 3:7, same as Detroit. :'P
And hey, Colts pulled one out, Matt H filling in as QB, I like to see an old-timer making good. Just how old *is* Mark Sanchez, anyway. ;')
Week 11 Bye: Browns, Saints, Giants, Steelers
Games under way: Chiefs at Chargers, Packers at Vikings, 49ers at Seahawks, Bengals at Cardinals
Monday Night Football: Bills at Patriots
Picks for five remaining games? Sure, why not, I don't gamble, or play fantasy football.
Vikings (although I'd prefer the Packers here);
Chargers (I must be nuts; but I like Rivers, and feel they're due);
Niners (on the road, but I think they've finished with
Kaepernick, the talk is he'll be traded),
Cardinals (Bengals have a head cold right now, the whole team; and they'll be on the road); Bills, largely because they're talented with a consistency problem, plus the Deflatriots need a comeuppance at home and a blemish on their Loss column.

She had that slightly upturned nose, spectacular legs (she was a dancer, of course), did a Playboy spread in her 50s, but wow, she sounds like she’s been a whackadoo for a while.

No more picks for me, my first attempt left me 1 and 3. HOWEVER, the Lions were discussed in terms of postseason by someone on the tube, I had a bit of a "told ya so" snicker about it. Crazy crazy season. Took a bunch of underlines out because the wild card picture has dramatically changed.
Congratulations Detroit Lions!

BTW, kudos to Aaron R, GB QB -- that looked like a cracked radial head when he got knocked in the elbow by a helmet on a hit. Ugly, very painful. And yet, he held on to the ball, monster good play. And, kudos for coming back to finish the game.
For that matter, props to the GB Packers organization and fans for the ecstatic reaction to Brett Favre, you bastards owed him a lot, and booed him when was no longer welcome as a starter and kept trying to compete with another team. Before Brett, the Packers had a really long stretch of not too much success.
