They had a good second quarter. The other three were ass.

CBS is claiming that Jon Bon Jovi would be interested in buying the Bills after Ralph Wilson dies. I'm not a fan of his music, so I'm not sure how I feel about him owning my favorite team.

[Tom Foolery]

Would he move them to New Jersey?


FUCKING LIONS and their FIVE TURNOVERS. You lost to the BUCANEERS you assholes!

At least the Rams beat the Bears. But now we're back in a 3-way tie again. (Unless the Vikings can give us a nice present and beat the Pack in OT. That's unlikely.) If we can't win the NFC North, we're fucked. It'll be tough getting that Sixth WildCard spot.

I liked how right after the Lions kicked put his second kick-off out of bounds they panned right to him as he was throwing a hissy fit. The ball hit the 5 yard line and took a sharp left out of bounds. If you read his lips, he yelled "How the fuck does that happen?!?!" a couple times.

At the beginning of the game I was like "Oh shit, is THAT how it's gonna be again?? You've been handed a Rogers-free game as a HUGE Thanksgiving day gift, and you're STILL gonna fuck it up?!"

Then they turned it around. And bonus, if it comes down to a tie in the division now, Lions win.

Ouch

After that embarrassment in Philly, I don't know if we'll hang on to the Division. I can totally see Detroit messing up home games against the Ravens and Giants and maybe losing the last game to ever be played in Minnesota's Metrodome.

But then it occurred to me, even if they make the playoffs, they really have no chance of beating the other playoff teams. The Seahawks? The Saints? The Panthers? The Niners? Nope. Not the way the Lions turn the ball over.

I was totally disappointed in that game (if this was ANY other season that'd sound sooooo dumb). They were dominating the game early and almost got complacent. They looked really good in the first half (minus the missed snaps...which can only partially be blamed on the snow) but seemed to just let McCoy run at will in the second half.

Either way that game was the funnest first half of football I've seriously ever seen. That snow and the fact that the players looked like they were ALL having fun playing in it was great.

That was the first time I've enjoyed a Lions game in...a very long time. Well, the first half anyway. I laughed my ass off when Johnson made that great catch and had a helmet full of snow when he stood up.

Then the second half was typical Lions bullshit.

[Ran]

I had the Lions game on. I didn't know the weather until I turned on the game. My kids were amazed by the snow. They don't ever watch football. My wife grew up in California, so she didn't understand how they could play in those conditions. I had to explain how those of us who grew up in places that actually had winter played snow football whenever possible.

Of course the guy I played in one of my fantasy football leagues had McCoy. Thanks for nothing, Lions' defense. Calvin Johnson didn't help me much, either.

[Tom Foolery]

Fuck off Cleveland. And double fuck off Dallas. Can't count on anybody to win a fucking football game at home these days. The Cowboys blew a monster halftime lead and just fell apart.

Now we have to hope Steelers can win in Green Bay next week. Unlikely.
Or the Eagles can beat the Bears in Philly. Slightly more likely, but not assured.
Then depending on those games, the outcome of the Packers/Bears showdown in the final week.

Of course it's all means fuckall if the Ravens win tomorrow night. I'm hoping for a Thanksgiving style blowout tomorrow. And again against the Giants the following week.

[jjreason]

I wanted to kill Tony Romo. That win would have helped the Bears.

[anarky]

If he dies, I'm telling the cops you said that.

Wait, NSA already knows. They'll be at your door any moment. Resistance will be considered an act of war and we will drone-bomb Canada into the Late Bronze Age. (Stone Age seemed a bit much.)

[Diabolical]

All I know is that I'm winning my fantasy week by 26 points. If I win, I'm playing for the championship.

All my players are done and my opponent has Megatron and Baltimore's Defense, so the one time I need the Lions to roll over and take it up the ass like they so often do means they're going to break records tonight.

[Ran]

In my work league, I'm up by just over 9 points on my boss. Winner goes to the championship. I have Calvin Johnson and he has Matthew Stafford.
