You have made your case, sort of ....
but I have my own set of values. There is something wrong mentally with these women that would bring them to support a bunch of losers year after year after year ....... Perhaps they are paid (but I didn't think so) but that lends itself to another question. (I am not going to broach it here)
Eyecandy. Yes indeed. I wonder about their intellect. I would at least want to be able to converse at some level.
Hmmm .. but then again ... maybe not.
week 13 ,, bungles DO play detroit ... Palmer will be nursing a bruised (you name it) and will have been out for 6 games, but promising he is getting better. He got bruised, 3 and out, running off the field dreaming he was Rothlesburger.
Ocho Stinko will be sulking in the corner again
Henry will be in jail
Andre Smith will still be at McDonalds finishing his baker dozen of dbl quarter pounders.
Marvin will still be worried about the fans that will question him on why he didn't kick a field goal from 30 yards at 4th and twenty.
And Mikey brown will be counting his money with GLEE
and yet the bungle jungle losers will be sayin “wait till next year”
Nothing changes .... groundhog day ..

This is a simple math problem.
Let’s say they have a 90% chance to lose EACH game this year.
.90^16 = 18.5% chance of losing EVERY game.
Now if we say they have a 95% chance to lose each game then they have a 44% chance to lose EVERY game.
Unless my statistics math is failing me (which it might be).

I wish they would show another team other than the Lions on Thanksgiving.
The day is long enough as it is.

Wish I could help them win but alas they aren’t playing the Chiefs this year.

That’s why we eat lots of turkey and stuffing. It puts you to sleep before the Lions can.

I put the over/under at four wins. What say you football fans, over or under?

And like clockwork, this Thanksgiving my brothers will hold up the holiday eats - we are transplanted Detroiters - to watch the Lions stink again.
Some things never change.

Depends on if they can get
Phil Luckett to toss the coin or not.
To: trisham
What about Matthew Stafford?
Not ready for prime time. Not yet. I watched him in Cleveland. He was awful.

I agree, although I’m from Toledo originally. Thank God it’ll be hockey season soon! Let Go Wings!

The Lions are an appropriate team for a loser city like Detroit.

They win 3 games this year: the Rams, Niners and Browns. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

Because of their rank dismalness, they are, paradoxically, the most-loved football team...Sounds like the very early New York Mets... they were so bad that they were beloved, for a few years at least.

They aren't going to beat my 49ers. Not at the 'stick. Not with me there. . . dressed as Santa.
Funny thing about their 0-16 season, though: Even with that winless blot on their record they still have more wins in the last 6 years than the Raiders do. . .

I'd love to feel for you. Really I would, but I'm too busy with my own Bronco pity party, now that Bowlen has given Skippy McJunior the keys to the family Cadillac, who's decided to take it out for his own personal ego trip.

Under 4. They have a tough schedule, other than playing the AFC West. They probably go 0-6 in their division, and they win one or two games against the Rams and/or 49ers. Perhaps one more freak upset, possibly against the Packers on Thanksgiving, when they tend to get lucky.
