Hmmmm

This is a little bit different than my usual, but it's a football topic this time. I'm a huge Detroit Lion fan and I'm starting to wonder when they are going to start getting the credit they deserve. What am I griping about you may wonder? It is the Lions after all! Yes, I know they still aren't great. But they have now won 5 games. When you read the reviews about them though, they act like it was because the other team did not play well, or seem to almost pass it off as luck. When they show the highlights of the game, they breeze through them with hardly any details at all. This wouldn't be a big deal except the other teams seem to get a lot more attention.

Now we have this mini stink going on about the score of the Pats and Skins game. Really, who cares if they were running up the score. My real gripe though is this was not an issue when the Eagles blew the Lions out a few weeks ago. Sure, the Lions scored more points than 7 but it was the Eagles led by more than 30 points and kept their first string in. So why the double standard there? Must be a slow news week....
