[Detroit] Lions news is bad news

...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.

Ok! I was afraid that your interest in this was beginning to flag.

Have a good evening!

So the two of you have stopped talking about the Lions and resorted to a battle of puns, eh? Too bad football games aren't 30 minutes long instead of 60. You would have had a better Thanksgiving. I guess you would like that second half back.

But I can understand why you would give up and punt. After all, how many ways can you say "losers"?

Well, I, for one, certainly would.

Yes, pun-ting is about all I have left....Say, I really hope you are enjoying all the piling on you have done.

;) Have a good evening!

Sorry. I was just enjoying the rare sense of victory. The Houston Texans won a game.

I hard counted on a day without puns, but it was not to be.

This thread is laced with puns. Frankly, I think it's spiraling out of control.

Ok, I freely admit that my post pattern on this thread is little more than a ready list of silly puns. Going forward, I firmly resolve to stop it.

That's your slant on this, Rocky. But, I vow to turnover a new leaf and stop it. Really, I mean it.

I crack me up. Have a good day, everyone!

I can't decide whether you've agreed to punt or to pass.

I never should have third down the gauntlet.

(audible groan) Ok, perhaps it is time to put an end to this. I don't know what my goal was. I will stop. Really. I mean it.

Say, if I did sin, in the old NCAA days that would be called a halo violation, right?

Ok, before you two tell me to "take a hike" I'll stop. Really.

Ok...I'll try to stop....

I think we’ve got our guy now. He will of course be at the end of his contract when the season ends, but given how fragile Matt Stafford is, Detroit might better trade him to a QB-less team (egad, maybe even the Vikings) keep Drew Stanton, and at the very least move him to second string behind Shawn (who’s also out on injury). He looked a little off today compared with last week, but the results were better. GB has a hot defense, but the Lions’ defense was a whole lotta bench today and got it done better than usual. The offense of GB looked very good, just got knocked down when it counted. Lions offense was mostly three and out, as it was last week.
