Another Sunday has passed, and yet there still is the feeling or in at least my opinion anyway that the Lions are getting pumped by everyone once again after another win. I will say it again, it was okay when the Lions were on the receiving end of what they are now dishing out to other teams. SO MAN UP AND TAKE IT FANS IN OTHER NFL CITIES. As DETROIT LIONS fans, we have had to take it from you since Barry Sanders ended his Hall of Fame Career. I also realize that like the Kansas City Chiefs it was only the Denver Broncos, a team rebuilding through a young quarterback in Tim Tebow. In my opinion, if the Denver Broncos are serious about winning football games they should start Kyle Orton. If they are just looking to improve next season in the draft, they continue playing Tebow. It was a shame to watch this happen to him, for which I cannot believe I am saying this. Tebow was overmatched by the young Lions defense, and pretty much looked like a high school quarterback that did not belong in the NFL. If they continue to play Tebow, they may be in the running for both Orton's and Tebow's replacement in Andrew Luck. Now to get back to this lack of respect issue concerning the Detroit Lions, why is it when we beat someone by 35 we are rubbing it in, but when other teams were doing it to them it was okay? I sense the ghost of Matt Millen still lives on in Detroit, that piece of crap set the Lions back 10 years with his poor management and draft choices. I thought you were supposed to build your team around defense, it only makes sense that the Lions were 0-16 and he got canned. He was the only team president that I can remember that tried to build his team around wide receivers in 3 consecutive drafts. What an idiot!!!! I am glad to see that Martin Mayhew has got it right, he realized and has listened to Jim Schwartz and built the team around an awesome defense that is now starting to turn heads in the NFL because of their play, clean or dirty, its all football in the end. I had a huge smile on my face when I seen Cliff Avril run that ball into the end zone for a touchdown. So now its a week off to prepare for the Bears in Chicago on the 13th, I still wonder to myself what team will show up that day from time to time, but this team is apparently ready to challenge for the playoffs this year, instead of next year like most experts thought prior to the beginning of the football season. I will make a no brainer choice for NFC first half honors: "Megatron" Calvin Johnson. He leads the NFC in touchdown receptions with 11 and is at the top or near the top of most every statistic by a wide receiver. I know most will say Aaron Rogers, and deservedly so, the Packers are 7-0 and could be undefeated by the time they meet on Thanksgiving Day.

Before I leave this for you to read, I thought I would wish Tony LaRussa a happy retirement. Way to Go Tony, and not a bad way to go out World Champions. You gave all the credit to your team when they won, but all said they would not have even made the playoffs without you........

Thanks for reading my post, and I promise you there will be more to come out of my mouth in the near future....
