NFL 2007-08 Season

2 Guy's from the UP

For Paul and the rest of the Lions fans :

TWO GUYS FROM THE UP

Two guys from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan die and wake up in Hell.
The next day the Devil stops in to check on them and sees them dressed
in parkas, mittens and bomber hats warming themselves around the fire.
The Devil asks them, "What are you doing? Isn't it hot enough for
you?"
The two guys reply, "Vell, ya know, we're from nordern Michigan, the
land and of snow and ice and cold. We're just happy for a chance to
warm
up a little bit, ya know."

The Devil decides that these two aren't miserable enough and turns up
the heat. The next morning he stops in again and there they are, still
dressed in parkas, hats and mittens. The Devil asks them again, "Its
awfully hot down here, can't you guys feel that?" Again the two guys
reply, "Vell, like we told you yesterday, we're from nordern Michigan,
the land of snow and ice and cold. We're just happy for a chance to
warm
up a vee bit, ya know."

This gets the Devil quite steamed so he decides to fix the two guys.
He
cranks the heat up as high as it will go. The people are wailing and
screaming every where. He stops by the room with the two guys from
Michigan and finds them in light jackets and hats, grilling walleye
and
drinking beer. The Devil is astonished, "Everyone down here is in
abject
misery, and you two seem to be enjoying yourself." The two
Michiganders
reply, "Vell, ya know, we don't get too much varm weather up dere in
da
UP, we've just got to have a fish fry when the veather's this nice."

The Devil is absolutely furious; he can hardly see straight. Finally
he
comes up with the answer. The two guys love the heat because they have
been cold all their lives. The Devil decides to turn all the heat off
in
Hell. The next morning, the temperature is below zero, icicles are
hanging everywhere, people are shivering so bad that they are unable
to
wail, moan and gnash their teeth. The Devil smiles and heads for the
room with the two Michiganders. He gets there and finds them back in
their parkas, bomber hats, and mittens. They are jumping up and down,
cheering, yelling and screaming like mad men. The Devil is dumb
founded,
"I don't understand, when I turn up the heat you're happy. Now its
freezing cold and you're still happy. What is wrong with you two?" The
Michiganders look at the Devil in surprise, "Vell, don't ya know, if
Hell froze over dat must mean da Lions von da super bowl....

Well... 16-3 Washington is up as the third quarter comes to a close. It looks like the "Millen" hex is still upon the Lions.

They still can not win on the road.
 
WOW.....34-3! Yikes! I still don't think they are THAT bad nor do I think the Redskins are THAT good....

I still think the Lions are that bad. I predicted at the beginning of the season, no more than four wins. I am sticking to it. :)

Their upcoming games include:

Tampa Bay = Loss... Tampa is a much improved team and has returned to their defensive dominance from years past.

Chicago = Loss... The Lions can beat Chicago at home, but history is against the Lions on the road with any opponent, especially Chicago.

Denver = Loss... Denver has their offense rolling, and their Defense has a strong secondary.

Arizona = Loss... Arizona beat Pittsburgh, and made a comeback win against the Rams today in St. Louis. Their other win this year was against Seattle.

New York Giants = Loss... simply put, they are a better team. Manning will expose the Lions Secondary like no one else up until this point in the season.

Green Bay = Loss... Its Green Bay, enough said. On Thanksgiving the Lions do play better, but not against Green Bay, as recent years have shown us. Brett Favre will re-iterate what I said about Manning in the last game prediction analysis.

If I am right up to this point of the Lions schedule they will be 3-8. Still under my "no more than four wins prediction".
 
Just turned over to the Denver game... damn... those washed up Chargers are drowning the Broncos...

I am still crying. It is amazing how far the Broncos have fallen. 41 - 3? And at Mile High? Geez. I can hardly stomach the idea of watching them play.

I know Cutler is still a new qb, but this is just painful. It makes me wish for Brian Griese again. No, I didn't say that. I meant Bubby Brister. :D


The only thing that would have been worse, was if it was the Raiders of Chiefs.

That will come later this year.....;) They SHOULD have lost to the Raiders at Mile High....
 
Hey Paul, What happened to your Lions? :D

They sucked me in again. What happened to my Lions? They suck, that's what. This offensive line couldn't block my father, and he's 80, and seriously infirmed. Same problems every year - no line play on either side of the ball. They are rumored to be scouting WR's for the next draft as I type. This loss was worse than the one to Philadelphia, because of the way they were pushed around and dominated by a mid-level team like Washington. I said 6-10 at the beginning of the season, and then the Lions showed some heart, and the Lions disease crept back into my system. Well Sunday's game cured me (for this season anyhow).

THE DETROIT LIONS - REBUILDING SINCE 1957!!!

Oh so correct sir.

END THE MILLEN ERROR NOW!

THE DETROIT LIONS - REBUILDING SINCE 1957!!!

I often wonder that if the players for the Detroit Lions swapped places with the players for the Pittsburgh Pirates, would anyone be able to notice? :confused:
 
Came to me as an email , just passing it along, I enjoyed it :)

Here's one I received from a friend in New Orleans:

A seven-year old boy was at the center of a Orleans Parish courtroom drama yesterday when he challenged a court ruling over who should
have custody of him. The boy has a history of being beaten by his parents and the judge initially awarded custody to his aunt, in keeping with child custody law and regulation requiring that family unity be maintained to the highest degree possible.

The boy surprised the court when he proclaimed that his aunt beat him more than his parents and he adamantly refused to live with her. When the judge then suggested that he live with his grandparents, the boy cried and said that they also beat him. After considering the remainder of the immediate family and learning that domestic violence was apparently a way of life among them, the judge took the unprecedented step of allowing the boy to propose who should have custody of him.

After two recesses to check legal references and confer with the child welfare officials, the judge granted temporary custody to the New Orleans Saints, whom the boy firmly believes are not capable of beating anyone.

:) You could see that one coming, but still funny (or worse - completely accurate).
 
I can't believe the Cowboys pulled that one out of their butts. I was really hoping they would lose.
 

Possibility of why Michigan lost to App State

Canseco at it again
