Amazing

Football is AMAZING! September thru February are my favorite months of the year. The NFL has games on Monday, Thursday and Sunday.  College football can be seen on Thursday, Friday and of course Saturday. Needless to say Tuesday and Wednesday are BORING for me! I LOVE football!!

My favorite NFL team is the Detroit Lions!! We had a wonderful last season (6-10) and I am sure we will go to the playoffs next season.  The Lions have gone thru some ROUGH times as a team, but are beginning to turn that around. The Detroit Lions are nothing short of AMAZING! Yes I am aware of the fact that 2 seasons ago we were the last team in the NFL finishing the season with a 0-16 record. We all know football is unpredictable. In the 2009 draft the Lions acquired Matt Stafford at the number 1 pick. Stafford was rated very high and proved to be a great quarterback at the University of Georgia.  While playing fir the Lions Stafford has, in my opinion not proved his self. He has been injured most of the times he has been on the roster! I believe that Stafford is a good quarterback; he just has to stay healthy. Also in the same round the Lions picked Tight End Brandon Pettigrew.  Brandon had a very good season and shows potential to do wonderful things with in the organization. 

“Now with the 33^rd pick in the 2009 NFL drafts the Detroit Lions choose Louis Delmas- Safety from Western Michigan University”. Those words will always remain with me. I remember screaming and running around the house! I was excited for my fellow bronco, but most importantly my friend. In the first game of the season against the New Orleans Saints, Delmas had a very key fumble recovery and return for a touchdown. He also had a 101 yd touchdown from an interception against the Arizona Cardinals. As for the rest of the season, Delmas finished as the first rookie in NFL history to have a fumble recovery for a TD, and Interception for a TD and a safety in the same season!!!  He has been a very crucial part of the defense, The 2010 season was slower due to injury, but I am POSITIVE Louis Delmas will be healthy, and will explode on the oppositions offensive! 

GO LIONS!!!!
