Lions....suuuper!!

What is the point of showing the Detroit Lions lose every Thanksgiving? I think I lead a pretty basic life and would say that I generally enjoy things to be expected. So, I guess it could be perceived as good that on Thanksgiving I can rely on having a swollen belly and can take comfort in the fact that the Lions will lose. But is it necessary every year? I enjoy traditions and can appreciate them, but it's getting rediculous.

As a Titans fan, I was very happy to see the return of some dominant ground attacks supported by an adequate showing by Kerry Collins. Even Vince got to play a little! I guess my steel exterior is crumbling a little bit in pity for the unfortunate residents of the Detroit metro area. Was anyone in the stands after the 3rd quarter? I've seen more people at a Chattanooga Lookouts game.

I'm used to the Cowboys always playing on Thanksgiving, but that's mostly due to the fact that Fox is in the enternal reacharound with "America's Team" and show them, suck or no, every Sunday from August to December, including bye week. Oh well, at least they're somewhat more entertaining to watch. Nice TD pass to TO, then the cut to show Pacman Jones giving him his best rape advice on the sideline and explaining proper entorage interviewing techniques.

I'm not suggesting any solutions. At least the NFL network is showing a decent game and my viewing area happens to carry at as part of it's mid-upgrade package (either that or the cable guy thought my ass looked good in a pair of German national soccer team shorts). Surely their must be something that can be done and I'd be happy to hear what the Futbol Americano viewing world has to say about the subject.

I wish everyone the happiest of Thanksgivings.

Go Titans, Roll Tide, Generals Rule.
