Tday Throwball: Patriots @ Lions

Now you’d think living in the armpit of New England as I do I’d be a die hard Patriots fan, but in fact I’m still kind of torqued off at them screwing over Hartford to blackmail themselves into a better Stadium (paid for with Tax dollars btw) in Foxboro.

And the Lions are customarily so hapless that they have the whole underdog thing going for them in addition to being the sentimental favorite of my Troll ancestors.  Thanksgiving Day dinner was never served at Grandma’s house in central Michigan until Grandpa was done watching the Lions (which was usually shortly after the start of the 3rd quarter).

The Patsies (as I like to call them) are 1 – 2 on Thanksgiving and will probably start without Brady.  It is however a matchup of an 8 – 2 team against one that is 2 – 8 and has a notable record of futility (6 straight and 8 of 9 since 2001).

As they say, anything can happen on any given Thursday.  This will be the 3rd game for the Patriots in 11 days.

    Which they’ve done about twice as often as the Patriots so they have a lot of practice.

    If they’re smart, the Lions will attack him all game.

    Not that I wish anyone suffering or injury, but that’s the way the game is played.
