Thread Of The Day

As I write this, the Detroit Lions record is 0-11. Right now they are playing the Tennessee Titans and losing 47-10 in the fourth quarter. Assuming they lose this game, they will have lost 20 of their last 21 games, going back to last year. Some say this is the worst team in history.

Detroit fans were in danger of being blacked out from watching today’s traditional Thanksgiving game because it wasn’t a sellout. An extension by the NFL allowed the Lions to barely sell out the game in time.

Through all this, the Lions fans in the forums of LionBacker.com have a thread to talk about all the positives of this team.

Good luck, not an easy thing to do. The best they can come up with is their kicker, Jason Hanson, is playing well.

Today is the opening kickoff to the new NFL season. So today’s thread of the day takes us to a football forum where Bengal fans discuss this latest piece of news.

At first I thought this was a joke, but unfortunately it is not. The Cincinatti Bengals’ Chad Johnson has legally changed his name to Chad Ocho Cinco. Ocho Cinco means “eight five” in Spanish which is his jersey number. The “Johnson” on his uniform will now be replaced with “Ocho Cinco”.

He should have went with the more technically correct “Ochenta y Cinco” which is “Eighty Five” in Spanish. I guess it doesn’t have the same ring to it.  Oh well, the important thing is I’m sure he will sell millions of jerseys now.

Here’s what Bengal fans are saying about it:
