Still rooting for the home team.

It’s rare that the Detroit Lions are on national television here in Denver. But today, I was in luck. They were playing NFC North rival Minnesota and with so much hype surrounding Brett Farve and the Vikings, FOX thought it pertinent to air the game. So, I donned my favorite Lions attire and settled in with a bottle of Pyramid Apricot Ale. It wasn’t long, however, until I was once again crushed by the lesser play of the Lions in comparison to the on-fire Vikings.

Matt Stafford and I.

But, I refuse to be a fair-weather fan, and will stick by my home team and the potential Stafford, Johnson and Smith have until the day I die. So to the boys in white today, I say play on, and I’ll be rooting.
