That was Same Old Lions. This is Brand New Lions. The NFL will part in front of their exodus from decades of football subservience just as the River Nile did when Jesus raised his sword.

Fun times in downtown Detroit. Some baseball some beers some BBQ some football. The Giants do not look good. I'm trying to figure out how they win 4 games. I'm not seeing it.

Saw the Labor Legacy Monument in the pregame festivities. Just like a union to leave it unfinished.

He made a horrible throw in the very first series and got bailed out by his tight end.

Saying that was a "horrible throw" is ridiculous and should not go unchallenged. He passed to a well covered TE and placed it where it would either be grabbed or go incomplete, but not a turnover.

Miller made a great catch, but calling this throw horrible is just wrong and brings the football IQ of this forum down a bit.

Take a look

I always thought Sandra Bernhard looked like she'd be stinky. So I will guess yes, yes it is stinky.

SandraBernhard · Post by **SandraBernhard** » Tue Sep 09, 2014 10:01 am

I don't know about all that, just trying to correct the record on horrible throws.

Aren't you a Bengals fan, the Syb? How are you feeling about Dalton these days? Lots of grief was tossed the Seahawks way for passing on him in the draft, mostly by local-living hall-of-fame-access-haver John Clayton.

I don't know, he seems dicey, but I don't see him play that often. A lot of red zone flameouts this week.

He is a Jets fan.

I am a Bengals fan. They were good in the red zone last year, I am guessing they will be fine this year. In fact, the game they won in Baltimore was Seattle-esque - stong defense, mistake-free offense, no big mistakes. Nice road division win. I see no need to apologize for how they got it done.

And I am feeling cautiously optimistic on Dalton being good enough to win a playoff game at some point.

Jets fan, and I have hated my team for several years. First time in my life I haven't felt a connection to the team, as there weren't any players I liked. Geno looked like a legitimate NFL QB last week. Not a good one, but serviceable. He missed some open receivers, but he looks a hell of a lot better than last year. Running game and D looked legit, too. But they played the Raiders, so hard to tell which team accounted for the Jets looking decent. 5 or 6 very tough games ahead, so I expect them to be 2-4 at best.

As for Dalton, I think he had big numbers last year only because they threw a ton. I think he is decent, but overrated. I really like watching Wilson. Fun, smart player and seems like a great guy. They use him as a game manager, but he doesn't make mistakes, has a great running game and D, so he does everything asked of him.

Hey Sybian - Little known fact is that the Ryan boys lived in Toronto back in the 70s. I was friendly with them back in grades 5 & 6 when they lived around the corner from me.

True story if kind of boring. They were always playing football with the guys in the neighbourhood. One of my best friends was in awe of them because he was a Jets fan and Buddy was coaching the D-Line in New York at the time.

If I really feel like procrastinating, I'll dig through the crates in the basement and get the grade 6 class picture out.

Pruitt · Post by **Pruitt** » Tue Sep 09, 2014 11:39 am

Okay, so this wasn't my class - this is Mr. Brown's grade 6 class at Harrison Road Public School. I was in Mrs. Hansen's class down the hall. (It's a long time ago... memory a bit hazy, but Rex may have been in my Grade 5 class).

Anyway, my buddy Tony (3rd row from bottom, 2nd from the right) scanned this and posted it to a Facebook group a while ago. (Rob and Rex are in the 3rd row from the bottom).

As a side note, we were convinced that Mr. Brown and Mrs. Hansen were having an affair.

And also, I eventually lost my virginity in high school to the girl in the red top, 2nd from left.

Mr. Brown should take off his hat when he's inside.

I love that Canadian diversity. There are both boys AND girls!

This very quickly turned into a great thread. Why does the kid next to the Ryan boys have on a Soda Popinski shirt?

May your Jets suffering end. There's Pattriot blood in the water, so now is the time. But a pissed off Green Bay team is a tall order for week 2.

He's a lawyer. His brother is also a lawyer and a player agent who is a big shot with the NHLPA.

Not sure about the pity fucks.

Groucho shirt is another lawyer and the author of a number of books about hockey. And I play cards with him regularly. And he is now completely bald.

You are correct. And I am Facebook friends with her.

It is very sad what 39 years, neuroses and 130 extra pounds do to a woman.

That is fantastic. I didn't recognize Jim with the extra half-inch of hair. Brilliant disguise.
