...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.

SC, I cannot take "offense" at your post. But, I am unable to "field" a good reply.

I crack me up...

!!!

I didn't even notice the article date. Stuck on autopilot!

[MaggieCarta]

No worries, grellis! It’s still appropriate today... yesterday...last week.....last year... five years ago... this coming Thursday...

[SunkenCiv]

Good “points after” all.

[MaggieCarta]

I have no defense against your wit, SC.
So, I am going to seek the safety of pre-holiday cleaning and cooking...

[SunkenCiv]

I’m going to fullback and regroup.

I’m going to fullback and regroup.

:) I admire your snap and your drive.

Seriously, I was re-reading your original post. I loved this:

Think it can't get worse? Hey, this is the Lions.

[grellis]

Hilarious!

[SunkenCiv]

I huddle feeling someone would enjoy that.

I’m very glad you were not holding anything back, when you wrote that, SC.

I’m sorry, I cannot think of any clever responses for you. I must rush off now for a shopping adventure. So, I guess you could say that this is a bump and run.

I crack me up…

[SunkenCiv]

I’ll touch back with you later.

[MaggieCarta]

I’ll touch back with you later.

:^D

Ok. Anyway, I need some time out before I tackle another reply to you. But, I am sure that I will only be left scrambling for a clever response.

[SunkenCiv]

I’ll be running back when I get the signal.

[MaggieCarta]

I’ll be running back when I get the signal.

LOL!

Good, I hope there won't be any delay. Except, odds are, I have little hope of winning (oh, just like the "L" team)

I am only a rookie, and I should have drawn a line back there, somewhere...I hope this little game will turn out okay...

[SunkenCiv]

I wrote down an idea for this exchange, can't find it, must have late hit down around here somewhere.

(Grinning in spite of the groaning)

I think that sort of memory loss is called a ”blackout.” Perhaps you can return to your previous spot to see if you left it there. Or, maybe your note is somewhere in a corner back in your house. Please know that I am pulling for you to find it.

[SunkenCiv]

I may scrimmage you when I finally have to admit defeat.

[MaggieCarta]

Oh, SC, I really don't believe that you can be " beat (or is that "burned"?) so easily.

I think you could carry on for quite some time...C'mon, I know you can come up with another line, man
