"Can you believe '15'?" one Detroit Lions defender asked after his team's 45-10 immolation of Tebow and the Denver Broncos. "Come on – that's embarrassing. I mean, it's a joke. We knew all week that if we brought any kind of defensive pressure, he couldn't do anything. In the second half it got boring out there. We were like, 'Come on – that's your quarterback? Seriously?' "

It is clear at this point that the Lions do not give anything remotely resembling a fuck. To paraphrase Chris Rock: "If you were hanging off a cliff, and all it would take to save you was a single fuck, and the Lions came along with a pocketful of spare fucks, they still wouldn't give you one."

Well, you know what happens after a decade of being a laughingstock - you get angry, you get mean.  They want to punish the league, and I want them to. 

What I noticed is that Cam Newton is the QB all of Tebow's idolatrous fans want him to be.  He's gonna be a star.

Oh yeah man, I love the Lions new attitude.  The article mentioned it, and I've been saying it for weeks now, that these Detroit Lions are starting to sound/act like the 89/90 Detroit Pistons "Bad Boys" and I love that comparison.

edit:  I remember back when I wrestled, and I went to the National Freestyle/Greco tournament twice, and, since Iowa was the big bully on the block back then in college wrestling, anyone stepping onto the mat with an Iowa uniform on was showered with a relentless chorus of boos from the vast majority of the crowd.  I recall that I LOVED it.  I reveled in being the villain in all of my matches; I FED off of the boos.  I actually wrestled better when the crowd was against me than if they were cheering me on.  I even racked up a couple of unsportsmanlike conduct penalties (which I NEVER accrued wrestling in-state) from taunting the crowd after a win.

I suspect Alabama might be cutting their PK.

Fuck the Giants.

New England's been saying that for a while haven't they?

Pats have a bad defense this year. No one is arguing that- I certainly expect them to lose a few games this season. But losing to the Giants is especially painful

2000 Rams proved you can't succeed with the best offense and worst defense - they had 10-6 and a wild card upset to New Orleans.   

Green Bay needs to tighten up their defense, or else when they run up against an NO-caliber team in the playoffs they'll find that out too.

Yeah, those games on the road at Detroit and New York are going to be brutal for GB.  I think they're going to beat Detroit, because they're going to prepare like crazy for that game, but I think the giants might knock them off.

If anyone can get to Rodgers it's Detroit.

Mike Leach is back!  WSU is going to have some wild passing games next season, should be interesting.  Maybe my proximity to Spokane TV affiliates will allow me to see some stuff.

A woman on the NFL network was just trying to say "Wild Card Hunt" and instead said "Wild Hard Cunt", and then giggled.  I almost shit my pants.

That's a hell of a slip-up!

Holy fuck the Packers lost!

If the Pats don't beat this overly vocal jesus freak I am going to kill myself.

OCHO CINCO FOR THE TD!! WOO!
