Mariucci Sucks!

The Lions Suck!

The Bears Suck!!

Chicago Fans Suck!

Lions Fans are WAY TOO freaking nice!! And that sort of SUCKS!!

What really SUCKS is that the freaking Lions shouldn't SUCK so much!

It SUCKS to sit in the stands and ALMOST get into a brawl with chicago fans while defending our Lions. It SUCKS even worse to have to walk out hanging your head in shame for believing that the Lions will win! IT SUCKS!!!

2 good things came out of this SUCKY ASS loss. 1) I got really drunk and learned all about a new sport being played at bars called "Butt Quarter's" 2) It's not the freaking QB dumbasses! To put it very simply for even the most hard cored dumbasses out there, ponder this Logic:

• Dan Marino, one of the greatest QB's ever HAS NEVER won a Superbowl....
• Trent Dilfer, one of the worst QB's ever HAS won a Superbowl

I'm telling you the real eminem could do just a good of a job with no experience coaching as the M n' M we currently have, hell get the Burger King dude in here, he'll at least creep the hell out of the other teams. The only thing saving Millen in my eyes are his defensive picks. Considering he's a manager, I think he's doing the right thing... picking guys on defense (something he knows a lot about) and letting his QB guru handle the offense - Unfortunatley Mariucci doesn't know what the hell he's doing. Millens' at fault for bringing on a bud, but then again maybe Millen fell for the QB guru shit too and now he's stuck with having to fire a friend. That SUCKS, oh well, too SUCKING bad, just do it SUCKER!

GAWD THIS SUCKS!!!!!!

Cleveland Rocks, my ass! But our seats at Browns Stadium sure as hell rocked!! My first away football game, and my first outdoor football game. Other than getting our car broken into and a bunch of stuff stolen, it was a great experience! This view is from section 146 row 2, bought them on eBay for a great price.

I DID wear my Shaun Rogers jersey and only got, "F-U Bitch" twice, and considering the look of some of those DAWG Pound fans - I got out virtually unscathed. For all you men with hair on your back - GET RID OF IT or hide it, dawg pound fan or not... and PLEASE, PLEASE leave your freaking tshirt on to spare the rest of us. It's about as appealing as Madonna with braided armpit hair. Woof woof woof.

But on to the game, you all know the chorus - 'Nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah nah, hey hey hey, Goooood-Bye'. Nice knowing you Joey hope Dick Vermeil still wants you because, if I had to guess, I'd say you're done in Motown. Garcia saved Mooch's job and invigorated not only the Detroit football fans but even Raiola was gushing his praise. I swear, when I was listening to Raiola talking about Garcia it was almost embarrassing. If I were Jeff, I'd be a bit more careful about walking around without any clothes on in front of him.

But I guess it's only to be expected considering Garcia made Raiola look slightly better, and probably saved his job too (for the time being anyway) cuz he still sucks! Oh and for those of you that were watching the game on t.v. and remember the close-up of Raiola looking back at the crowd all hyped up and yelling, he said, "F**K YOU Bitches" at least 2 or 3 times to the Cleveland fans. At least I think it was the Browns fans, I think if he knew it was me up there, he'd probably run up and try to tackle me, but luckily he SUCKS and would miss...hahahhaa. Too bad the ref's didn't hear him and eject him from the game ala the Ravens game in Detroit. Where's the famed 'throwing of the dog bones' as advertised?

Garcia got the job done. I love his mobility and he actually dove head first into the end zone for a touchdown, everyone has to respect that. Although I don't think Garcia is as great as Mooch would like us all to think. I think with the defense playing the way it has, along with Cory's return and Garcia's ability to NOT get sacked it will be enough to take the Lions to the top of the NFC North. He's definitely more exciting to watch than Joey, and he adds enough attitude and competitiveness for even the defense to take notice. If Joey had been the QB we would have lost, Joey would have run toward the end zone and fallen down at the 1 yard line. And THAT is the only skill difference I could see, because Garcia's passing game was on par with Joey's. When he threw the really crappy passes it gave me a chance to boo, and somewhat endear myself with the dawggies that were closing in on us.

To Art Regner and whoever is on with him at 1270.... Pffft! Shaun Rogers is way more important to the defense than Dre Bly!! Having just torn my ACL, I feel your pain Big Baby! Heal fast and get your butt back on the line, we need you!

Overall, I didn't see much of the game because I was out till 4 a.m. the night before, bit the dawg that bit me...hahaha, so my first beer at the game kicked my buzz right back in from the night before and I spent most of my time trying to defend myself from Browns Fans. Every time I cheered for the Lions - Mr. 'You're lucky I'm married' would come down to my row and tackle me to my seat. We were actually on national tv & I looked like shit. Murphy's law for sure!

To all the hot guys I met Saturday night at Fusion, thanks for the dances - I had a sweaty blast!!! Mr. 1999 I'm not going to be able to come back for your party unfortunately.... Scary Ref, what the hell happened to you? Everyone thinks I 'got rid' of you, hope you're okay. And Deep (however you spell it), I'll look you up when I'm in New York. Hmmm, I guess Cleveland did Rock after all

I'm not going to bother too much with what happened at the game, there's too much crap going on in 'the media' that's really irking me and I just must vent about it.

But first some excellent news... I got my S Rogers jersey... I had to special order it in a youth size, but the price was pretty good and I got to debut it at the Carolina game. Which was a great time to do so, because not only did he get a sack, my man Shaun blocked a field goal attempt and was just awesome all around. Which enabled me to stand up in the stands pointing out the fact that I'm smart enough to buy a non-cornbread jersey - heh. Way to go Shaun - You ROCK... So do you Kenoy. The defense ROCKED overall, I've even gained some 'like' for Dre Bly, if not for his playing ability (yet) - definitely his attitude.

So last I heard Mooch still doesn't know who is going to be the starting QB against Cleveland.
Follow the Logic of why we still don't know who is the starting QB at Cleveland:

• Mooch has never liked Joey, and brought Garcia in asap.
• Mooch blames Joey and has absolutely no concept of team, by ignoring the needs on the offensive line and drafting three 1st round wide receivers <-- BAD Logic
• Joey has had absolutely no protection, and plays like any QB that doesn't have protection on just about every damn down.
• Everyone... even Dutzy and my brother, Pete... want Garcia to play. Believe me for those two to give up on Joey is HUGE!
• Mooch knows he is treading water now, his only way to avoid getting his ass canned is by pointing his finger at Joey. He's done that so well and quickly - as a matter of fact he'd take Clint Eastwood down at noon for sure.
• Mooch has been intimating that Garcia is the next coming. Pfft. This alone should be enough reason for the Fords to can his sorry ass.
• Garcia is iffy but has taken half the snaps during practice.
• Garcia has been very outspoken about his desire to lead the Lions to victory.
• If Mooch starts Harrington & we lose he is going to be strung out for not playing Garcia.
• If Mooch starts Garcia & we lose (keeping fingers crossed on this one, cuz I love the very amusing Irony Fairy) it will prove two things - a) Garcia is not what Mooch portrayed him to be and b) It wasn't Joey after all. Either outcome would hang Mooch.

Conclusion: The Lions BETTER win no matter who the QB is. If Harrington plays and loses it will buy time for Mariucci who still has his ace in the hole ergo the confusion over who to play. If Mooch waits another week to play Garcia, Garcia will have Schlesinger back, who's blocking ability is sorely missed! And Roy & Charles will be back too, so it is in Mooch's best interest to wait to play Garcia. Who Mooch picks to start will be very telling. I say we send Mooch's ass packing and get Vermeil over here who has stated that he would love to work with Harrington. OR get rid of Harrington & Mooch at the end of the year and let the new coach pick the QB that he wants.

I can't believe I, of all people, am actually going to start defending Joey Harrington (because I really don't like non-linebacker type QB's) but... I am so impressed by his character. He has been dumped on by EVERYONE - literally! And to date I have not heard one negative remark out of his mouth. No finger pointing, no blasting other players or coaches, no ripping on the playbook. But you know what Joey, that may be exactly one of the reason why the fans have never quite embraced you here in DEEtroit.

Yet more Logic for Joey:

• Go to a voice coach or sit down with Saragusa and learn to get that whiney, apologetic pitch out of your voice - it SUCKS and it's almost painful to listen to. It makes people think you're a ghurly-man.
• You are a big boy 6'4" / 220. ACT like it! RUN for a FKING touchdown. HIT someone on the opposing defense instead of BEING HIT. You want respect, take out Ray Lewis while scoring a TD instead of making KJ try it 5 times. STEP it up big boy.
• It's great that you are stepping up and taking responsibility, but when someone (wide-receivers who haven't proven themselves) calls you out in the media, STAND UP for yourself man! Fight back, perhaps you should intern in corporate america for a summer to learn the proper political way to slam someone while sounding like you're taking responsibility - Roy Williams had the technique nailed down in his radio interview when he hammered you.
• If you can't get into a corporate situation, get on a pickup football league and play linebacker. Go out and sack some QB's for a feel for how it is from the other side. Actually this tip goes out to ALL QB's.
• Being a fellow libra myself, I understand the 'flies with honey' deal, but sometimes you need to pull out the damn Raid. Are you afraid if you point out the lack of blocking by your offensive line that they'll REALLY stop blocking for you (hahaha spit out my coffee) like it could really get any worse? Think about it Man!
• The next time Dre Bly comes over and gets in your face, KNOCK his ASS OUT! That alone would raise your manhood exponentially!!!
• You have taken the responsibility, ALL of it. Now DO something to change the situation. Do WHATEVER it takes. It's better to have people respect you than like you... Trust ME!

Reassembling the quotes IN CONTEXT:

1. Now, I've heard plenty of interviews with Garcia. When asked if he would be the difference in the game at Cleveland, if he could take the Lions to the next level. Well this normally confident guy did a little word jig. 'Uh, well, there's are more problems than just the QB position' Looks like Garcia when faced with the possibility of actually starting is already in 'Save YOUR ass mode'. On a positive note, he did mention that the problems are NOT all Joey. Saying the only real difference is the experience Garcia has along with more mobility.
2. Dominic Raiola (however you spell it) was not bitching at Joey during the game. He was pissed off because the sideline was not getting the plays out to the field fast enough. This caused them to burn those time-outs early. I want to know who in the hell that person on the sideline is. You're FIRED!
3. Damien Woody was asked to name names. Who is playing up to par, to which he responded, 'I'm not naming names, you can't do that but I'll tell you numbers, #3 #11 #80 #88 #51 #76... oh nevermind, I can't name names' heh. You can do the research, but it looks like Woody is pretty much playing offense by himself with Jones & Pollard.
4. Dre Bly said he was frustrated and the defense should suit up to play offense. Well Dre, hate to point out the obvious, but you guys already are and I share your frustration. But HEY! I'm all for it!!

Finally (I know I'm long winded BA BA BOOEY) But I got a lot to share- roflmao.. anyway...

There has been much said about the split in the lockeroom between offense & defense. I believe it's more a split between the Warriors and the Whiney Beyotch's.

Team Warrior would include:

1. Shaun Rogers (of course)
2. Kalimba Edwards
3. Earl Holmes
4. Kenoy Kennedy
5. Dre Bly
6. Jason Hanson
7. Kevin Jones
8. Damien Woody
9. Marcus Pollard
10. James Hall
11. And special recognition to R-Dub McQuarters who not only stepped up to return punts, but has offered to play wide-receiver. Mooch you should JUMP on that one, DumbASS!

Team Whiney BeYotch includes:

1. Charles Rogers and his friend Mary Wanna (allegedly)
2. Mike Williams
3. Jeff Backus
4. Dominic Raiola(however you spell it)
5. Roy Williams
6. Teddy Lehman - not 100% but I haven't seen anything out of him
7. Hmmm, who else is a worthles whiney ass beyotch... oh yea...!
8. Steve Mariucci - Mooch man
9. Joey Harrington - only because for all his 'taking responsibility' speeches he's not taking the next step and forcing changes to whatever needs to be changed. JUST DO IT JOEY.
10. Garcia, because he started playing the blame game before he even got a chance to get sacked a few hundred times.
    
    

Those that I've missed are obviously doing just enough to not be noted good or bad, which actually sucks in itself if you think about it.

I love winning! I love winners! I love competetiveness! I love true competitors! No PC here. It sucks to lose, it sucks being a loser, it sucks giving up no matter the odds, it sucks when you have to rely on people on your team that aren't giving it their all and they STILL get paid. All the truly great athletes have that quality. You can see it on their faces. And that is where the frustration is coming from. I'm bleeding blue & silver out here, what the HELL ARE YOU DOING? And that what we love about football. Our modern-day WARRIORS.

That's why football is REALLY America - not baseball, not basketball, not hockey... FOOTBALL - not to be confused with Soccer (The sport boys and girls play because they aren't good or big enough to play FOOTBALL.) But FOOTBALL! We want Russell Crowe rallying the troops (no whiney beYotch there) We want Mel Gibson in blue face paint.

Watch the movies again Joey. Rally the troops and FIGHT THE MAN!! Take charge, you have more power than you know. Tell Mooch to change the freaking "offense" or you are going to bench HIS ass! As a matter of fact tell him you're on the phone with Dick Vermeil who might be interested in coming over to Detroit once he wipes the tears off his face.

Failing that get me Ben Roethlesberger (however you spell it) or someone that looks like, can and WILL take out Ray Lewis when push comes to shove.

You read right, OFF WITH HIS HEAD... And I am NOT talking about Joey Harrington for once! Mariucci get the hell out of Motown! You, you're offensive staff, your offensive (literally offensive) playbook and your draft picks SUCK ASS! As Art said in response to a caller who asked why the offense couldn't use different plays when they saw the blitz coming, ' that would require some imagination' or something to that effect - hyuk.

I'm sick of your whiney ass voice and how you can't take any damn responsibility for the offensive problems. You fired Sherm Lewis last year, which coach are you going to sacrifice on the altar to the football gods now? Oh wait, you can't fire another one, so that's why you've been setting up Joey all year! You almost had me fooled!!

The damn west coast offense has no place in the midwest / rustbelt / black-n-blue division. Hey Matt Millen, get your head out of your nepotistic ass and remember who signs your paycheck and how the Fords get the money for your paycheck - It's us ... THE FANS... you owe us Millen. I remember how excited everyone was that you were hired because we would have a no-nonsense ex-linebacker, who had heart and wanted to win. Tell Mooch you love him and you can still be buds, but his ass is GONE! I'm sick of changing QB's every freaking year as I've repeated ad nauseam. NO ONE WANTS THE WEST COAST OFFENSE. And the damn draft picks AREN'T EVEN GEARED FOR THE FREAKING WEST COAST OFFENSE!! FK!! What don't you get?!

The one thing I do want to thank Mooch for is that I think that after this game he might have actually ... finally ... turned this into a DEFENSE town! More on that later...

I am officially & publicly turning in my 'Joey-Hater' card. Albeit he is not my preferred 'type' of QB, I have begun to actually respect the guy for his character. If we all stop to really think about this team, it seems that everyone is slowly imploding, including coaches except for the one who, by all rights, should have probably called it quits on this team last year, Joey Harrington. Go ahead and call him Joey-Blue-Skies, at least he's got the balls to keep getting up only to be punished over and over again by the likes of Ray Lewis and Julius Peppers, but to name a couple of punishing linebackers. Guess, you'd HAVE to have a positive outlook to think that things are going to actually get better. To imagine...

...That Joey might actually get more than 2 seconds from the snap to throw the ball, that Kevin Jones might have a hole every once in a while to run through or at least get have time to get back to the line of scrimmage. I would like to hear Damien Woody's opinion of his line, when there wasn't any media around.

Besides Steve 'it ain't my fault' Mariucci I'd also like to thank Roy 'don't tell me when I mess up' Williams for all the positive PR you're giving Joey by being such an ass in the media. Hey Joey, obviously you aren't being respected for having class & character, so the next time one of your FIRST ROUND DRAFT PICK WIDE RECEIVERS don't catch the ball, call a freaking press conference. Maybe you could buddy up with Kenoy and have him put a hurt on those boys next time they drop 'em, or run the wrong route, or get the munchies during a route, or can't come up with a decent play. Yea, OFF WITH THEIR HEADS, and Kenoy's just the one to do it!...

... More on the actual game today later..

M&T Bank Stadium after the Cleveland Browns...OOops, I mean the Baltimore Ravens absolutely ImpLOdeD!! Even Steeler fans were cheering!! Strangely, that's how my head felt all day Sunday too, as I was out till the wee hours of the morning getting my Nine Inch Nails fix. Which also explains why this post is soooo late, I do believe all of the Jagermeister has finally left my blood stream and I am semi-sober again. Another great celebration of my personal new year! Ooops, so anyway..... What a great game. The Ravens did a great job of getting the fans into a chanting frenzy of 'nah, nah, nah-nah ** nah, nah, nah-nah, HEY hey hey GOOD-BYEEEE' and hand waving, as player after player was penalized and ejected from the game. We even had the wave going, and got to call fans 'murderin' (alleged, yet not guilty) losers' and Kevin Jones even managed to mock him in the endzone, hyuk... I love that boy!!

Fans around us were shockingly amazed and literally laughing out loud over the antics displayed by the Ravens. Although everyone felt the Joey fumble was iffy, we all KNEW that there was NO WAY a touchdown was going to get reversed 2 weeks in a row.

Alas, once again the Lions D gets no respect. It seems to me that if the other team is getting a bunch of holding calls it's because they can NOT stop our Defense so they HAVE to hold them, right? right! Way to go DEFENSE I love you and I think you guys ROCK. I'll even give props to Dre Bly who after missing his tackle managed to run back into the runner and bump the ball out of their hands for a fumble. Hey whatever works and the football gods were definitely on our side for once

The offense was lackluster, and really, if it weren't for the Raven self-destruction the game would have been quite boring! Another thing that bothers me about the lack of respect for our defense is how everyone manages to think our opponents are simply having a bad game because of how many turnovers they are having, never considering that perhaps our DEFENSE is forcing those turnovers.

Before I address the public outcry for not giving the ball to Kevin Jones 30 times during the Tampa game, I wanted to quickly mention that I saw Charles 'Chuck' Rogers hanging out with his buddy as we were walking in and although I didn't get C. Rogers in the frame, I did snag a pic of his best friend funny little fellow, huh? I figure the whole reason Chuck was not giving it his all was because he would start fantasizing about a Big Grab of Doritos with a side of ho-ho's in the middle of his route, and really who can blame him?? Give up millions of dollars for some good laughs and a ton of Dolly Madison snack pies, Hell Yea!!

As far as Kevin Jones only getting the ball 12 times Sunday against Tampa, the Lions only had their hands on the ball FREAKING THIRTY-NINE (39) times until the last drive of the game. The problem is 3rd down conversions, and the play calling. I think it really does come down to the coaches among other things. I still contend that most of it has to do with attitude. I've heard a few interviews on the radio with Lion's players and they seem to fall into 2 camps. One group does not want to be called out by their teammates when they fall short (C. Rogers, R. Williams and sadly C. Schlesinger) the other group (K. Jones, M. Pollard, D. Woody) who give it their all, are going to speak up when they feel like their teammates aren't. God Bless you men, it's about time someone holds these professionals accountable!! Now who is going to hold the draft pickers and coaches accountable. Someone really needs to put the screws to Mariucci and ask him why in the hell he has so much money invested in an offense built for the long passes when he doesn't have a damn play in which to use it!!

By the way Kwamee and the city of Detroit, YOU SUCK for the cheap stunt you pulled with your abandoned city lots!! We are no longer allowed to park there... Well we can but we get a $30.00 parking ticket. Seems like some type of fraud going on there, but I guess Kwamee needs more money for his 'alleged' hooker parties. You SUCK Kwamee, hmmmmmm, maybe you could be the Ravens new mascot as you'd be a perfect example of a human implosion. If Detroit votes you back in as Mayor they get what they deserve.

At the risk of becoming repetitive.....WTF??

What is going on with this freaking 'team'? Wait, let me take that partially back. Can we all look on the bright side for a couple of seconds and chant, 'DE-FENSE * * DE-FENSE * * DE-FENSE * *' The defense really brought it today, and if it weren't for them the score would have been closer to 24-0!!

There is much bally-hooing over the admittedly horrible call in the endzone that nullified the Lions touchdown in the final seconds, but the game should have NEVER came down to that. With all the work the defense did we should have been beating Tampa the whole game. The offense absolutely sucks!! Wait let me take that partially back. The bright side; Kevin Jones, Marcus Pollard and Damien Woody for their effort. And for seemingly being the only ones on the offense that give a shit.

The wide receivers were called out nationally and locally for not giving it their all, not only by the announcers, and other media but Garcia, Pollard and Woody chimed in. Thank goodness for players that were brought in from other teams and know what it's like to play for a winning team and aren't shy about calling out the whiny beyotchs, oops I mean FIRST ROUND WIDE RECEIVER DRAFT PICKS FOR THE PAST THREE FRICKING YEARS!

I don't know who is responsible for the final decision in draft choices, but YOU'RE FIRED!! I am officially forming a committee to include; Shaun Rogers, Kalimba Edwards, Kevin Jones, Marcus Pollard, Damien Woody and Jason Hanson. They will have the final say in who is drafted, and the Lions will be playing in the Superbowl the year after!

ROY - What happened?? What the hell happened to you? You were my favorite player on the offense, you made awesome catches and played your heart out last year, what the hell happened to you? Sure you came on the radio today and took the full blame for the loss and although it was very 'noble' of you, there was a certain amount of insincerity in your remarks. Being in the corporate world it was easy to hear the politic'ing in your responses. You see yourself as the leader of the wide receiver crew? Than shut-up and put-up. I don't care if you don't like Joey Harrington, he probably doesn't like you either, just quitcher whining and freaking do your job like the rest of us.

Charles Rogers who hasn't done shit in 3 years is upset because he gets no direction... HEY CHARLES, RUN AND CATCH THE BALL AND THEN RUN IT IN FOR A TOUCHDOWN! How's that for direction? Simple enough?

Roy Williams did NOT appreciate Kevin Jones calling him out about the wrong route he ran last week, as he is a grown man and doesn't need negative criticism... HEY ROY, RUN THE RIGHT ROUTE CATCH THE BALL AND THEN RUN IT IN FOR A TOUCHDOWN! And quit being a freaking prima-donna already.

Mike Williams ... who?

I really do like Favre/Roethlesberger (sp?) types of QB's, but we've got Joey and if Trent freaking Dilfer can take a team to/and win a Superbowl well hell, anyone is capable. Our QB's have changed every year or three for as long as I can remember and we've ruined them all. All of them leave here with a look of a deer caught in headlights.

The Detroit Lions need to get back to basics and someone has finally gotten a cohesive, strong, kick-ass defense in place. I say we sell M. Williams and C. Rogers to the highest bidders and we get our QB's some damn protection (I'll give Roy another chance) !

Even more underrated than the defense is the Offensive Linemen, and you can tell the offensive line has been an afterthought (if any thought at all) with the Lions. If they can't block long enough to give the QB a freaking fighting chance to get the grass out of his teeth before he gets taken down again, then it doesn't matter if you have Rice, TO & Moss out there with Favre passing. It really quite simple when you think about it. It makes sense to ME - Doll Logic, USE IT!

Kenoy Kennedy 6+ tackles, Earl Holmes 6+ tackles.... And a salute to a real man of genius - Dre Bly falling on his ass watching Kennedy or Holmes tackle his man 12+ times ... Dre Bly tackle your opponent you overrated Mr. 'fall on top of the pile to make it look like you made a tackle' Man
