Doing What’s Right
Just wanted to take a second to highlight when my team does something good! (Cuz you know I’m good for telling all the other stuff). The Lions announced that they have made a $10,000 donation to the American Red Cross International Relief Fund in an effort to aid the victims of the earthquake in Haiti.
The donation will be made in the name of the three Lions’ players of Haitian descent: DE Cliff Avril, Tackle Gosder Cherilus and rookie Safety Louis Delmas. Both of Cliff’s parents were born in Haiti, and Gsoder was actually born there, His charity, the Gosder Cherilus Foundation, is uniting with two other organizations to help on the ground relief efforts in Haiti.
2010: The Year of the Chick
While everyone else is signing their lives away to a gym they’ll only go to the first week of January, the Chicks are getting some other things in order in 2010.
Nola Chick’s Resolution: This year, I will make a valiant effort not to shout “eat their young” as a motivational tool for the Saints defense to get aggressive with their opponents. At least, I’ll try to stop doing it when little kids are standing next to me in the stands.
Mother Hen’s Resolution: I won’t caustically attack the Chicago Bears for no reason, even though there always seems to be a reason….
It’s A Wrap
And the award for Worst Rookie Season Ever goes to: (Drumroll, please)
U guessed it, Mr. Matt Stafford! (Please, hold your applause.)
This #1 draft pick had the dubious distinction of joining the NFL’s worst team. His lop-sided credits include winning a grand total of TWO games, injuring his non-throwing shoulder in the process, then tying the NFL record books as the youngest player to throw 5 TDs. His 13 total TD passes are a new Lions’ passing record – though, I’m sure his INTs are probably historic as well. His latest feat was being placed on IR before the season’s end, and this week Stafford will undergo “a minor surgical procedure” on his knee.
Long Time, No Speak
I know it seems like I’ve given up on my boys.
Just because I haven’t had much to say about their spectacles, like getting that AZZ tapped 48-3 by the Ravens. Hey, we already established that the kicker was the best player on the team! He sure earned his coins last week.
Truth is, it’s kinda hard to catch Lions games in me new local viewing area…hell, in any viewing area, really. But seriously, I took a look at the Injury Report today and felt compelled to speak out.
Packers Gobble Up the Lions
This Thanksgiving the Green Bay Packers had a lot to be thankful for—namely, Donald Driver, Charles Woodson and Aaron Rodgers. The trio led the Packer to a 34-12 victory over conference rivals the Detroit Lions and are making waves in the playoff pool with each additional win. Merely three games ago the Packers were on the verge of chalking up this season as a bust, but with big wins over Dallas, San Francisco and now Detroit, the Packers are back in action.
The Packers’ slow start on Thursday led to Detroit early game lead. Jordy Nelson fumbled away the opening kickoff and the Lions took advantage of the short field with a quick and easy score.
