This is an afterthought...seperate post for all football fans in general...but especially for those of you who may be...or might personally know...a diehard LIONS fan...the football gods have been assuaged...they have forgiven the fans and returned the game to normalcy...well at least as it applies to football played in the DETROIT area...now many of you have been  riding this bandwagon so long you've seen the evolution from a wooden wheel to the nice new rubber based cylindrical rotating grooved devices of transport known as the common tire...the beginning of this season must have been like the glory of the coming of the angels...trumpets blaring...confetti constantly raining from the sky...visions of the Lombardi trophy dancing thru your heads...and then something happened...Peyton Manning was put on the Injured Reserve list...quite possibly for the season...making the Indianapolis Colts the frontrunners of patheticism...  thereby giving the football gods a moment of happiness and the ability to forgive the fans of DETROIT for idolizing their team as the 'second coming' of Leatherhead...the football god of win/loss probability...  and Superbowl eligibility...and have commanded that from this day forward all football games will henceforth be played as they were meant to be from the earliest days of this season's beginning...  no longer will the DETROIT LIONS be held in high esteem by Leatherhead or his legions...for it has been written that not even the pagans of pigskin can interfere with tradition and destiny...and make no mistake the LIONS are definitely a team built on tradition...that tradition being NOT winning a meaningful game in over 6 decades...that destiny has been all but etched into the headstone of the helmetless...eventually they shall become Canada's first southern conference candidate and the suffering will only then be able to secede!!!
