Detroit Lions vs. Miami Dolphins 1st Half Quick Snap

Currently watching the first half on DVR. It appears the Dolphins have been lucky with putting the Lions in terrible field positions which has allowed them to return punts to very favorable portions of the field.

The other thing I have noticed is that the Lion tight ends have had the ability to sneak behind the opposing linebackers with nice 10+ yard gains. Including the Pettigrew touchdown.

The Dolphin touchdown to end the first half was pure luck, the throw to Bess from Henne was thrown short. It was then tipped by a Lion which then fell 3 yards behind to Bess for the touchdown. Ty Hill of the Lions had both hands on the ball, but did not capture it, as it moved beyond his hands to the sneaky Bess.

This game was pure luck the Dolphins were leading at halftime.

Another Detroit Lion Streak...Outside Cold Temp in Nov/Dec

I was thinking, you know it has been an absolute misery to root for the Detroit Lions for the past 10 years. Then I thought, when was the last time the Lions actually won a road game in November or December where the location is a typical cold temperature city .

I created a spreadsheet with all the scores for the past 10 miserable years and guess what.....no win in Nov or Dec in a cold temp city!

So we go back to the year 2000. Nov 17, 2000, At Meadowlands Stadium in New Jersey, the Lions beat the Jets 10-7. A few weeks earlier they also beat the NY Giants in New Jersey for a double dose of NY road wins.

What about other cold weather cities not NY based teams? Well....we gotta go wayyy back....

Well in 1997, The Lions beat the Vikings at the Metrodome (INDOORS), but that was not outside! So we gotta go back!....

1995! NOVEMBER 19, 1995 At Chicago vs. the Bears! 24-17 WIN!

Hard to believe!

Happy Holidays!

Happy Holidays all Friends and Family!

We wish we could make it back to the homeland but due to scheduling and work commitments we won't be able to make it back. Although we hope to see everyone in 2011 at some point!

Ho Ho Ho!

Mice Caught

Instead of using the Hockey Puck style mouse trap, we bought 2 L shaped Boot traps. Those suckers really worked, caught 2 mousers! No more mouse sounds in the FanCave. Big Win. Sorry Mice.

Mutant Mice

I set up two mouse traps earlier in the week. I heard the mouse up there, figuring it was trapped. Today I go to throw out the traps, and they, the mouse or mice ate the plastic from the inside out to escape! These mice are mutant mice, and I can only imagine they are one part Arnold and one part James Bond.

I will not stop until these mice are caught!
