I will remember these words. Cause in 5 years they will be in the SB. Not saying they will win but will be there. I like the way you think. Sipping on the ol' blue Kool-Aid. I agree that we will get to the Super Bowl. However, we will blow it in the final minute due to an incredibly stupid penalty. It's the Lions way, LOL.

Went to camp this morning. Lions looking good out there. Their two new TE’s look like 7 footers out there from the sidelines. Giants. I took my kids to Family Day at camp a few years ago. Never again, LOL. It was 90 degrees. We had to walk about 1/4 mile from the parking lot. Stood in line to get in for a half hour. Stood in another line for 15 minutes for ice cream and water. Sought refuge under the bleachers while dumping said water onto my head. Watched 15 minutes of practice before the kids started whining that they wanted to leave. Lesson learned, LOL. Maybe if we went on a normal camp day (and not Family Day) it wouldn't have been so bad.

Maybe if we went on a normal camp day (and not Family Day) it wouldn't have been so bad. It’s very similar to that except that they had a tent set up with some food and drinks. The best part is for the kids when they get to meet the players and walk out onto the field w them. So cool. Us parents have to watch from the sideline, just close enough to get some pics. Not nearly as cool. As far as heat goes, my limit was tested a few weeks ago at my oldest sons flag football championship tournament in Canton Ohio during that heat wave. 3 days outside in that heat, a full day of opening ceremony activities and 6 games in 110 degree heat. I must have drank 40 bottles of water and Gatorade. Was nuts. But totally worth it.

Conrad: "Jim, what are your thoughts on today's tie between the Detroit Lions and the Arizona Cardinals?"
J.R.: "Well Conrad, a tie is neither here nor there. Winning has it's fans and losing also has it's fans, and sometimes both can have a lack thereof. Neither are 100% correct and everyone is entitled to their opinion on such subjects. Whereas I'm not condoning winning nor am I condoning losing. Both can be done in styles that can be admired if the parties involved have the talents to do so. Now, back in the day, when I worked for Cowboy Bill Watts, we had some ups and we had some downs but all that mattered was booking the territory properly, and in order to do so, there had to be winners, and there had to be losers, and once in awhile, a God Damned time limit draw. Did I mention my BBQ sauce is on sale? Now, let's talk about Blue Chew, and I don't mean Honolulu Blue just to make that clear, unlike the entire contents of what I have just said. So long everybody!"

Same old Lions. Hockowski looks sweet tho. Some way, yes. But they owned Arizona for three quarters. Just need to learn to finish the game. That will come once they get their running game going. Johnson was better then that game. It is not like they were only ones with a rough first week. Steelers got crushed and Philly struggled at home with a bad Washington team.

Well I'm starting Stafford and Hockenson this week. Fingers crossed!

Both should do good. TJ for sure as he' a beast so he will get his. Stafford looks to be hungry and with more weapons and a line that can protect him better he can carve teams up.

Nothing like waking up the undefeated 1st place Detroit Football Lions!

The undefeated streak was fun while it lasted! Not too mad about the loss to K.C. today though. We held our own against them until the end and as usual, if a couple bad calls would've went our way maybe the result would've been different. I hope Hockenson will be okay and ready to defeat the evil Cheeseheads in a couple weeks. ROAR!!!
