For some reason yesterday, I was excited about the Lions-Cowboys game. Looking back I realize now how frickin nuts I was. Harrington played like a 12-year old girl. She got benched, but unfortunately, Mike McMahon took the helm and played like that girl's slightly slow 8-year old kid brother.

Now, I won't completely blame the quarterbacks, although they did set the tone for the team. Harrington's INTs made me wonder if he'd gotten some career advice from Pete Rose during the offseason, and McMahon going 5-for-20, in what really was his only opportunity to prove he can play, was honestly disturbing.

Have you any idea how embarrassing it is to wear Lions gear to the bar to watch the games and have your team perform in this way? Luckily I live in Chicago, where the Bears are a dirty word, so no one could really make fun of me.

Anyway, here are a couple articles from the Free Press I thought were kinda funny this morning. I can say two things about Detriot sports writers. One, they're so fairweather and jaded, its silly. Mitch Albom's views change more than Madonnna's religious beliefs. Today, he bashed the Lions like his counterpart Drew Sharp.

Oh, and the other thing I can say about Detroit sports writers, they live for Mondays after disappointing Lion's performances. I'd put a fiver down that Drew Sharp couldn't sleep last night with anticipation of his column coming out in the morning.

"...A team whose season is done once again well before the midway point." -Drew Sharp

You probably got all warm and fuzzy writing that. Mr. Sharp, you continue to amaze me.
