Wings demolish challenging Sharks

They sure picked the right time to play good. On Thursday the Detroit Red Wings defeated the San Jose Sharks 6-0, despite the fact that the Sharks currently have the most points in the NHL. In doing so the Red Wings have shown that, contrary to popular belief, they are not losing their touch. Several people believe that the Wings lack the motivation for another Stanley Cup. I must disagree. Right now Detroit is a city which could use some cheering up. Kwame, the Lions, and now the Tigers and Wolverines, are making the city miserable. The Wings can fuel their motivation off of that. They are looking solid right now, with the second most points overall.

Owens: No Problem in Big D

Apparently there is no problem in Dallas after all. On Tuesday Terrell Owens said in an interview that the entire T.O.-Tony Romo-Jason Witten drama had been over for quite a while. The "Owens-Witten" verbal assault turned out to be a brief conversation where Owens told Witten that he was "done with it".
Shame on the media for trying to turn this into a top story. These people were so desperate that they were willing to take advantage of Owens's record and create their own story. I am writing this article because no one in the media has it in them to report that the whole thing was nothing. They are too ashamed. Shame on you, all you writers and reporters. That's right, Mitch Albom blasted the senators, so now I'm blasting you. It is because of you that Owens will now have an even worse reputatation FOR SOMETHING HE DIDN'T DO! And Owens isn't the exception. When a rumor starts, you guys are all over it, talking about it it 10 minute segments every hour on TV. Making sure it is an article in every newspaper. When a rumor is debunked, you hardly mention it. Shame on you for not having the guts to admit you were wrong.

The Road to XVI: Lions drop to 0-13

Once again, the Detroit Lions were unable to emerge victorious. For a little while, it looked like they might blow their imperfect season. But, like against Tampa Bay, they managed to lose. Even a Gus Frerrote injury couldn't do the trick. Don't be surprised if they actually do go 0-16, because the Lions aren't your ordinary bad team. So what sets the Lions apart? It's hard to say they are worse than the '07 Dolphins when you consider that the Lions are actually talented in some areas. Kevin Smith is good. The passing is good. Hanson could win kicker of the year. But what makes them special is that they know how to find a way to lose. 17 point lead? No problem. Lead for most of the game? No problem. The Lions have just three games left. They are 81.25% of the way to their goal. Let's see what the magic 8 ball says about who's left to play. Next up is the Indianapolis Colts-arguably the hottest team in the league. They have a great QB in Manning. The Lions, meanwhile, have been playing musical quarterbacks all year. What say, magic 8 ball? "I believe in the invisi-" whoops, sorry that's Rod Marinelli. Magic 8 ball? "lions lose, go 0-14". That's better. How about week 16, when they play the New Orleans Saints, who are led by MVP candidate Drew Brees? "Lions lose, unless Brees breaks leg, improve to 0-15". And last, but not least, what about when they face Green Bay at Lambeau Field, a place where they rarely ever win?........... Magic 8 ball?... Are you still there?... "Prediction currently not available". OK then. Wait a minute, I just thought of a Lions motto: "Winning currently not available".

Lions drop to 0-12

With yet another loss, the Lions fell to 0-12 on Thanksgiving day. The poor Lions were crushed 47-10. Good thing we didn't have to watch AFTER eating. Personally, I'd have puked. The Lions repeatedly show they are the worst team in the NFL. And Culpepper? Here's his latest qoute: "Turnovers happen". Very good! He is quickly showing he is a true Lion by (a) throwing an interception, (b) struggling in quarter 4, and (c) speaking in Rod Marinelli Code. This is latest evidence that the Lions are doing an excellent job at heading toward the road to XVI. They are now no less than 75% of the way to accomplishing their goal. Next up they play first place Minnesota. Then it's off to Indy to take on Peyton Manning before heading to New Orleans for an equally hard challenge (see: Brees, Drew), and finally Lambeau Field, where they never win. Hello 0-16.
