Lions vs. Giants Game

Bill, Mark and I took our boys to the Lions/Giants game yesterday at Ford Field. The Lions lost and played badly 95% of the game. This was Nate's first Lions game and he was super excited. We'd been talking about this all year as something I wanted to do as recognition for his hard work and dedication in Panthers football this year. Nate and I have Eli Manning in our Fantasy Football League, so we were torn as he'd make a decent play or two. Luckily, Eli is no Payton. We had great seats (thanks Bob) at about the 40 yard line, 27 rows back.

Once we got there, Bill changed into his Lions outfit that he wears to watch every game:

The one bright spot was this huge catch in the end-zone by Calvin Johnson. Apparently, no one on the Lions staff thought he was worth throwing to the rest of the day. Maybe he's just too tall, and good, and fast.

We got see Kitna get the crap beat out of him frequently. These are just two - there are many more in the photo gallery.

It all ended with lots of horrible plays, including the two game ending plays like these last two:
