Once again, the Lions organization hires someone who can’t form sentences to write up their schedule. We see such things as “at Chicago Bears at Bears” and “vs Philadelphia Eagles vs Eagles”, and each week (other than the Bye week) is one or the other, and both are just stone cold stupid. I also eliminated the duplicate dates and triplicate game times included in each week.

I missed ps game 3 by some hours, but the description wasn't too encouraging; this one is even worse, so I'm glad I didn't set aside time to watch on Thursday:
