Can’t wait to get a look at the Lions tonight. The government announced a couple of years ago it would help Detroit. I just knew they were talking about the Lions. Lo and behold they weren’t. I like the Da Bears too but I’m going with the Lions this evening. After what they did to Dallas, how could I not. I’m pulling for Dallas this week against the Patriots. Did y’all see Big Ben throw 5 touchdowns against some bums yesterday? If Ben had legs he would really be something.
