Lambs vs. Kittens at Ford Field, 10am PST!!!!!
While Tampa and St. Louis would be the true match-up of the Never Victorious, who are we kidding?
This is HUGE! Remember, head to head matchups are crucial in determining the ultimate Toilet Bowl champion, and this is the biggest one yet this year. Last year's champion against this year's clear front-runner. But the Kittens are only a game behind. Ahead. You know what I mean.
The Lambs have no defense, leading the league in points allowed, while the offense leads the lead in fewest points scored.
It's really hard to get around that, folks. Unless, of course, you're the opposing team. The Kittens, on their home page, have a fan poll:
"What was the greatest benefit of Detroit's Week 7 bye? 1. Time to review and correct. 2. Resting Injured Players. 3. Getting a Mental Break.
The answer? None of Those. The obvious benefit to a bye is THEY DIDN'T LOSE. C'mon, Kittens, let the fans vote their mind!
But, hey, around here, losing is GOOD.
Kittens QB Matthew Stafford was on the practice field some, and is a game-time decision as far as I can tell, as the Lions website is difficult to find anything out, and doesn't seem to have attended any team media sessions lately. Wonder why that is? Honestly? Kittens should blow the Lambs out off the field, especially if Stafford plays. Look for the Kittens to actually cross the goal line in the first, second, third, or...well, sometime during the game. But it will be before the Lambs do, because the Lambs DON'T score.
Get yourselves to a sports bar that has waaaaay too many screens and this game is actually ON. Don't miss it. BRAGGING RIGHTS ARE AT STAKE.
The rest of the schedule:
Bye: Bootineers, Deadskins and Cheeps. Geez, a third of the league spends the weekend in their boxers. Have a beer for breakfast, guys- heck have another one for dessert.
Titanics host Jacksonville (I still am not convinced these guys are for real. But it's hard to argue with 0-7)
Raydurz at San Diego (I hear Ja-miss-it Russell came to practice at 6:30 am on Wednesday. That way he got first crack at the donuts.)
Floppers at Jets (Jets QB Mark Sanchez promises he won't eat another hot dog during the game this week. He's bringing a sandwich- Dolphi....I mean, TUNA.
Brownies at Chicago- Every chance of another 6-3 game. Make sure there's lots of things to eat in the kitchen, Brownie fans. You'll be going in there a lot.
Pansies at Arizona - Cardinals are revitalized. Pansies aren't. Delhomme throws 4 interceptions.
MAKE YOUR PREDICTIONS!
I watched the NFL in my Basement all the time when I was a
ReplyDeletekid. Feels like home again...
Yes, it do. Where's the Mountain Dew and the Cheetos?
ReplyDeleteLosing never felt so good.
ReplyDeleteJust so everyone knows, the name Pansies was chosen
ReplyDeletebefore the logo was found.
Otherwise it looks like they are "Pussies" to me.
It's the "HEllo Kitty" symbol, so it's got to be kittens, but the Lions are already kittens, so I guess it's got to be pussies or pansies.
ReplyDeleteWho's got the pansies again? You want to change to the pussies?
I can hardly wait for the big head to head clash tomorrow!
Yes, the Lions rise to the occasion and lose!!
ReplyDeleteThat safety by the Lambs was one of the most memorable plays of the season.
You got to hand it to the Lambs, they finally had a team they could beat and they were not about to let the chance to win one game this season slip away.
Maybe next week, Jim!
