Happy Thanksgiving everyone! The Thanksgiving weekend has been one of my favorite holidays for quite some time. And why not? A four day weekend, delisicous meal with the family without the drama of gift giving, big party night the day before the holiday, people watching or terrific deals on Black Friday and football games all day long. My family's Thanksgiving is later in the day today, allowing me to watch this train wreck that is the Lions/Titans game.
Ever since we had a great time in Nashville despite the Packers loss in Tennessee, I've hoped the Titans fare well throughout the remainder of the season and Rob Bironas is my fantasy football FG kicker. I don't know if anyone else is even watching this game, but the Lions are even worse than initially thought. While the Packers have rolled out some atrocious showings in the run defense category this year, this Lions team is laughable. Chris Johnson and LenDale White are simply having their way with them. Tennessee is running on every first down and they are still picking up 6-8 yards a carry.
Daunte Culpepper is really, REALLY slow. He looks like a TE, not a QB and he throws like a FS on the practice squad. He called a timeout in the 1st Quarter prior to a third down, and the Lions were flagged for a delay of game. A delay of game out of a timeout in your home stadium.
The most embarrassing part for Detroit is that they feature a punter worse than Derrick Frost. Nick Harris unloaded a 13-yard punt earlier in the game. Yes, 13-yards. I'll gaurantee you that if you go outside right now and punt a football over the hedges in the back yard, you'll kick it farther than 13-yards. Kerry Collins just ran a bootleg rollout for over 10 yards. HOW DOES KERRY COLLINS PICK UP 11 YARDS ON A BOOTLEG?
I'm going to need the Lions to figure out how to at least stall the Titans at some point, as I need Bironas to knock in a few FGs now that he has 5 extra points as the Titans are up 35-3 in the 2nd Quarter.

I can't take much more of this. I have to run the Dallas/Seattle game too which also looks to be a terrible matchup since the Waulrus' boys have already packed it in.
I never thought I'd say this, but I'd almost rather be watching anything on FoxNews right now.
Thanks Lions
Seriously, how awful is this team? Were they supposed to be this bad? But now I'm capitalizing on TN being so far ahead that they're playing for FGs. Yes!
And you don't mean the Fox News part and you know it.
Why not? I hear its "Fair and Balanced"
This Lions team is a joke. Are the Lions the worst sports franchise of all time? Barry Sanders, Billy Simms and a whole lotta losing, that's all the Lions have given us.
Things the Lions have given us
1) An assistant coach who goes clothing optional through the Wendys drive through
2) A former WR who "Dont tip the Pizza Man"
3) Mike McMahon and his fumbling of not only footballs, but his paychecks
4) Wayne Fontes crying
5) The re-emergence of Don the Majik man Majkowski
6) the gayest halftime show ever
Which halftime show was gayer:
A. Jesse McCartney in Detroit
B. Jonas Brothers in Dallas
Whatever happened to having Kid Rock, Fastball, Deep Blue Something or Fraggle Rock rip up halftime?
