There's that "Underwhelming of the Lions" again. It's the sequel to "Silence of the Rams."

An amazing 28 point come back to win by 1. It seemed like Luck let the pressure get to him in the first half but then settled in.

Saints get a last second FG to win by 2. Next week... nuh nuh nuhhh... they play Seattle!
That fumble recovery and jump over the pile for a TD was pretty cool.

My sister is a big Colts fan. She spent a number of years in KC where she pulled for the Chiefs. She moved back to Indiana and jumped on the Colts bandwagon.
I was busy yesterday and recorded the game. I planned to watch both games starting about 90 minutes later.
I text Sis and told her my plans.
I was up on the roof and my wife yelled up that Sis just texted, hinting at the outcome. Said I should read it after I view the game. An hour later, the punk (Sister),texted again. Wife screened it as I was watching the game.
It was funny when I read them later.
Her first text: Don't bother. (watching the game)
Second text; Go ahead and watch it. You won't believe the outcome.

So is mine. She goes to a lot of their games. But for me as a KC fan, it was another disappointment to add to the Lions collapse
A black date for Lion fans indeed!

The article states he bought the team on the same day Kennedy was assassinated. How ironic... the death of a president AND Detroit football championship dreams, all in the same day.
Yeah it was. I came across a newspaper my mom had saved the day JFK was assassinated a couple of months ago. Both made the front page.
That about sums it up.
---I think I'm burned out on NFL this year. After seeing the Lions, KC, Packers go down I'm left with one team I care about. If Denver chokes along the way, ahhh I don't even want to think about it

Burned out is a good term, I think. As a Seahawk fan, last year was a glut of ups and downs, culminating in what was one of the greatest playoff games I've ever seen, in the loss to the Falcons. This year was nothing less than expecting a SB victory. We got Sunday Ticket, so I could watch every game; which I did. It's great, and at the same time, meh.
Methinks I put other things on my plate, which are pushing this season to the floor. That and all the drama that Goodell and the WWE of the gridiron tries to feed us. We don't need a reality series; we need our dose of weekend gladiators fighting tooth and nail to bring home the Lombardi.
I think I've overdosed on the circus part of bread and circuses.
