Laing, sounds like a good day. It'll be good to have both sons with you. Z, it's not blacked out here either, more's the pity. Just more indigestion for the fans. | ||
Zitro Member Username: Zitro Post Number: 2436 Registered: 04-2008 |
I knew they gave them an extension on the blackout, I didn't realize they ended up selling what was needed. Detroit as a whole needs the Lions to win, (sorry Laing) it feels like it's so fashionable for the whole country to be piling on Detroit right now. Having a winless team on the national stage isn't helping. | ||

It's as if we're under that black cloud from 'Pogo' years ago. What was that characters name, Joe Bltsfpk or something like that? Leno makes fun of us, even while trying to to make a statement in favor of a Big 3 bailout. They're starting to equate the Lions to the Big 3. Not good | ||
Jcole Member Username: Jcole Post Number: 4820 Registered: 04-2005 |
That should have been Joe Btfsplk from L'il Abner, not Pogo. | ||

Although Jay Leno mercilessly berates the Lions, he deserves kudos for his staunch support of Detroit during the auto/financial crisis. Hopefully the Lions will do a Jets number on the Titans (sorry Laing...love em or hate em, they're our cats) HAPPY THANKSGIVING ALL. ENJOY | ||

Happy Thanksgiving all. Throw on Planes, Trains & Automobiles for a great Thanksgiving Movie. Give thanks to our troops for truly keeping us safe. A grim reminder with what's happening in India today. The troops have kept us from being attacked since 9-11 and for that I'm thankful. | ||
7andkelly Member Username: 7andkelly Post Number: 1708 Registered: 04-2008 |
Yes, Happy Thanksgiving to you all. Z, I second your thoughts of appreciation about our brave young men and women in the service...so many of them far away from home...dedicated, and committed to the cause of freedom, and protecting our homeland. May God continue to bless them in all their missions, protect them, and bring them home with honor and victory. God Bless America! | ||

THE HAPPIEST OF THANKSGIVINGS TO ALL OF YOU, YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS EVERYWHERE! God bless our troops and the tireless, brave work they do to keep us safe and praying they all come home soon. Let us all remember our ancestors before us who we love and give thanks for them being in and touching our lives. Let us all look round us today and count our blessings big and small. May all of you reap abundant blessings, happiness, success, peace, love and prosperity in the coming year and always. I am glad to know you all. My Love In Christ Our Lord, Diane | ||

Another thing I'm grateful for is that I'm not at Fraud Field (sorry 7, your line) watching this debacle | ||

Hey, they got a touchdown. Isn't that like winning? | ||

I wish I could take credit for that line. Anyway, tomorrow is another day...a fresh start. I hope they don't fire Marinelli now. For one, he's a decent stand-up guy who loves coming into work each day, and who doesn't throw his people under a bus...even though many of them deserve it. Besides, it wouldn't be fair to the next person. I say Ford Motor doesn't get the federal loan guarantee unless their workable plan for the future includes the Lions. | ||

Are you suggesting that we hold management responsible for putting a quality team on the field? The gall. | ||
12468_laing Member Username: 12468_laing Post Number: 278 Registered: 07-2008 |
hey guys, hope everoone had a good turkey day. believe it or not, i thought the game hurt, too. titans did play better than the lions, but what will it seriously take to get the lions going again? i heard they have 2 1st round picks in the draft - qb and who else? i'm not gloating, believe me. | ||
Zitro Member Username: Zitro Post Number: 2442 Registered: 04-2008 |
You can pretty much take your pick on where to draft. No QB in the first round though they don't usually pan out. Go after Matt Castle from NE as a free agent. Both lines need to be overhauled. | ||
7andkelly Member Username: 7andkelly Post Number: 1711 Registered: 04-2008 |
Laing, you guys got a good team...maybe a great one. And I'm not even going to blame you for running up the score like I'm apt to do. Not only am I apt to blame a team for running up a score, but it often leads to a "long and healthy hate". In this case, however, it looks like our sissies were just going through the motions. We deserved the embarrassment. WCF deserved the embarrassment. There is a clamoring for the old man to step down and for Junior to take charge. I hope this happens. Better than that, I wish the team will be sold...even if they move it...sad to say. 0-12...this is nuts! Z, unfortunately, management is so evidently nonexistent on this team. "Where's the Tylenol"?

in looking through the paper this morning, most all the points scored by the titans were in the first half,- only 6 in each of the last 2 quarters. lions scored in the first half only - that really makes me wonder - everyone sees and knows marinelli is a good guy - takes the blame on himself, not his players. nice or not, how can the coaching staff not be able to even get a 3 in a half? i think they need a gm, not the set up they have now, then go for a good coach, then staff, then trade well. again, not bashing the lions - i've followed them so many years - and to think dante is wearing greg landry's number. | ||
Kellyroad Member Username: Kellyroad Post Number: 1257 Registered: 04-2007 |
On a positive Jason Hanson is in the record books for most 50 plus yards field goals. Laing: The scenario of new gm, new coaching staff, new players has been done over and over again with the same sub optimal results. Kudos to Mr. Ford for moving the Lions back to the D and making contributions to Ford Field and its infrastructure but time has come for him and his executive staff to move on. The ownership is the one common thread throughout the Lion's recent tenure. Just like the recent St. Jude school closing and George Harrison's album, ALL THINGS MUST PASS (no pun intended).. it's time for change. | ||

I haven't read the thousands of posts in this thread, so I don't know if this has been reported before. Father Pasquale LoGrasso passed away in September. Here's the link. http://www.aodonline.org/AODOn line/News+++Publications+2203/ Michigan+Catholic+News+12203/2 008+15937/080912LoGrasso.htm | ||
Kellyroad Member Username: Kellyroad Post Number: 1258 Registered: 04-2007 |
Thanks Jokerman. Fr. LoGrasso's passing was posted and discussed just a couple of weeks ago. Who could forget his humorous, self deprecating manner especially in situations in pronouncing last names while passing out report cards or during his homilies. He was one of the first priests I remember at St. Jude. Do you any particular memories or stories to share regarding Fr. LoGrasso? |
