Lions Roaring

The Lions are 4-2, after their seven-point win over the Buccaneers today.  They need to win six of their final ten games in order for Jon Kitna to retain his faith, and keep his truthiness.

Hot chick ALIKAT made a great call, taking Tennessee at minus 1.5 points, even though Vince Young did not play. Thanks to a record eight fiels goals by rob Bironas, the Titans pulled off a last-second two-point victory to cover for her. The Yardstick for that game ended up pointing to at least a one-point victory for the Titans, which is great, but not high enough for us to have taken the Titans at the line she was using, so score one for the girls.

I love this game. (Is that trademarked?)

Tom Brady’s Record Day

Wow. I can’t say I am too surprised, but it is crazy to see a quarterback like Tom Brady – with three Super Bowl rings already to his name at the age of 30 – who set his personal best with five touchdown passes just last week, have five GD TDs in the first half of this game today. The 6-0 Patriots at the 0-6 Miami Dolphins. It is the biggest mismatch in a couple decades, yes, but…again, wow. 42-7 at the half. Will they keep blasting away? Can they set the record for points in a game? According to the NFL Record and Fact Book (which contains many mistakes, at least the online version, by the way), the record is 72.

Here comes the second half…
