That would be the roar of the Mighty Pontiac Pussycats after their victory over the Cheeseheaded Packers yesterday. I can't say I am at all unhappy that the Lions won, but it still looked like a high school game. On the Lions side, the defense looks better and there is some talent on the offense but Joey still needs to be more agressive. The Pack just looked bad. Farve threw about as well as I expect Joey to and, honestly, how many penalties can their defense stack up. The only one missed was the "Illegal Use of Turf". Funny that this one win puts the Lions at the top of the NFC North for the week. Never thought I would see that even if it is likely short-lived.

The local Lions faithful did indeed congregate in a public location to watch the game. As could be guessed, we had tables reserved at the Sky Box for the game. I went fully attired in a Lions hat and team polo in home colors (the regular ones not the black, I also have one in away colors) and managed to make it through the game with no threats on my life albeit a fair amount of jeering in the beginning. Today, there were few from the area that wanted to discuss this game....

The rest of the weekend in football was entertaining especially the Ohio State--Texas game. The Vikings lost, good. I was satisfied except that I did not pick so well. Better luck next week here.

Otherwise, it is membership season. Joy. I have a bunch of Join Scouting Nights to go over the next couple of weeks and progress to make on new units. I thought I "just" needed 14, now it is 20 after clearing out some crap from a predecessor. That seems as likely as a snowball's chance in hell. Of course it is popcorn season as well and there are morning meetings--tomorrow's is at 6:30am, yuk. I'll stop whining now.
