How 'bout Them ...Cowboys?

How 'bout them Cowboys...How 'bout them ...refs?

Can you say...conspiracy?

I did not see the game live...but....

I hear the refs called a foul.

The refs announced the foul.

The flag was then picked up.

No yards were paced forward.

No explanation from said refs.

Instead of ...a first down...now fourth down.

A...Troubled ...Young Man

Can you say..."Anger Management ?"

Ndamukong Suh.....you got issues.

We love your aggressive style....but....you crossed the line on this one.

From Yahoo.com:

Suh's stomp puts Lions' season on line

The controversial young star's dirty move is among the dumbest you'll ever see in a game, says one writer. » Big risk

• NFL hearing next week
• Suh: Move misunderstood
• Week 12 locks to win

The...."Lion Kings"???

Okay...okay...ok.

We believe ......for now.   The Detroit Lions are for real.   Two years removed from an NFL record of futility.... (0-16)....

These Lions may be Kings after all.

We are excited for the people of Detroit.   Political scandals...  unemployment....crime...has left this city close to ruins.

I have visited Detroit....Detroit deserves....well some good things to happen.

So....Detroit....we're on the bandwagon as long as you will have us.

Congrats:

0-16.........It has indeed Happened....

The Detroit Lions..........

Made history today. They lost a football game, 31-21 to the Green Bay Packers, to become the first team in NFL history to go 0-16.

0-16...........

Sixteen games..........no wins......16 losses. The impossible........has happened.

How can an NFL team with 45 players of elite status (the best of the best) , all high draft choices........college all-Americans.......high school phenomenons .......field a team .....that can't win a game?

Leave it to Detroit..........Owned by a Ford..........

Oh.....did I mention my Ford still won't start?

And the recap........per Yahoo Sports:

Lions become first NFL team to go 0-16
