Brad and I went to the Lions game after Kohne had to bail on his own tickets due to a work related conflict. Mark's seats are fantastic, about 15 rows up from the field, but they're in the visitors section. 70% of our section were Dallas fans, all wearing their Tony Romo jerseys and their signs. The first drive they came alive, until Dallas missed the field goal. After that, we didn't hear a peep out of them. The Detroit fans (myself included) when out of our way to over-celebrate everything Detroit did well (which was a lot), mostly to annoy the Dallas fans. Every time Detroit would make a play, we'd high-five about 10 fans right around us while the Dallas fans sat their stoically with their arms crossed. With Detroit being up the whole game (except for the last 18 seconds), there was a lot to celebrate. Even when Dallas would score, the crowd would yell out ("What's the score??")It was one of the most fun games I've been to in a while, partly because Detroit played so well against a great team, but mostly because there were so many Dallas fans in our section looking so dejected.

Ironic that this was the Joke of the Day on my Google home page...
On the seventh day, God said, "Let there be football."
And it was good.
Later that day, God said, "Let there be one team to rule the others and set the standard for excellence."
With that, he plucked a star from the heavens and placed it on the helmet of silver and blue.
God said, "Let it be called, 'The Dallas Cowboys' - America's team."
Later that day, God said, "Even Cowboys need a**holes."
So he made their fans.
