UNDEFEATED

The Detroit Lions are 5-0!!!! If you don’t understand what that means, THE LIONS ARE UNDEFEATED!! The only other undefeated team is the Green Bay Packers. The Lions take on the Packers in our usual Thanksgiving battle.  I have faith in my boys and their abilities. There are only a handful of people that believed this day would come, and all others have been silenced. 

 In case you were on a different planet on Monday October 10, 2011, the Lions played on Monday Night Football for the 1^st time since 2001. We played the Chicago Bears and beat them 24-13.  I had chills when they showed how many people showed up on the streets of Downtown Detroit to support the team, I miss home!!!  It almost brought a tear to my eye to see the one and only Barry Sanders run onto the field. The intro to the game was an AMAZING video of Detroit narrated by Barry Sanders. 

There is a new spirit in Detroit and it is AWESOME!!! Along with the Lions being 5-0, the Detroit Tigers (MLB) are in the ALCS!! It is a proud day to be a Detroit sports fan!!! Many people have doubted Detroit for so long, and for so many reasons. Most people view Detroit as a dump, and a very scary place. True enough the city has been on the Forbes 25 Most Dangerous Cities list, BUT that is no reason to count us out.  While I am not from the city of Detroit, I AM PROUD to say I am from Michigan and live right outside of the city.

The next 2 games are at home, Lions take on the San Francisco 49ers this Sunday and the Falcons next week. Ford Field is sold out!!! To just think 2 seasons ago we had games blacked out and now everyone wants to see the Lions. 

You may not like Detroit, but you will respect Detroit. You may not like The Lions but you WILL respect their record. My team is 5-0…..what’s yours?
