I forgot to post this Wednesday, but I wanted to let you know the Bloguin NFL Power Rankings for week 10 are available for your purusal, as is Joe Fortenbaugh's (of National Football Post fame) breakdown of our breakdown . Both are, in my opinion, fun reads.

I had to go and read the latest tweet from the News' Lions beat guy, John Niyo...
Lions RG Stephen Peterman seeing specialist, may have season-ending ankle surgery.
D'oh indeed.
Not cool.
The Lions may be on the verge of placing player number 12 on the IR soon.

I thought I should note what I wrote on Wednesday came true. Yes, I even guaranteed it...not that I was taking much, if any, risk.
It's official. Sunday's matchup of two of the worst teams in NFL history, the Cleveland Browns visiting the Detroit Lions, is blacked out in SE MI .

There's very sad news out of Columbus tonight regarding the family of a former Detroit Lions great.
Per the Cleveland Plain Dealer :

Every week, no matter the opponent, no matter how bad the play the previous week, the Lions Congregation meets to discuss all things Detroit Lions. Sucks for us, I know.

Here's the scoop from Blane, aka TWFE friend and frequent commenter Wolverlion, on his weekly NFL pick 'em challenge against his radio listeners. Just as last week, the scoop isn't good. Wolverlion's record has fallen to a mediocre 4-4-1.
Another week and another beat down. The listening ...

We all know the stands of Ford Field are going to look like this on Sunday:
There is NO CHANCE IN HELL Lions - Browns is going to sell out by 1 PM Thursday.
NO. CHANCE. IN. HELL.

It's a scientific fact ...

This is getting old. Very, very old.
Per John Niyo at the News :
The team placed safety Marquand Manuel on IR on Wednesday, replacing him on the roster with safety DeAngelo Smith, a rookie fifth-round pick who was signed off the Chicago Bears' practice squad.
Another day, another player ...

Today, the snake bitten by injury Detroit Lions made official the altogether too frequent move of a player to the IR.
For those who have lost count, this would be the 10th Lion moved to injured reserve.

It's no longer even a theoretical possibility.

The Detroit Lions will not win the NFC North.

The Vikes start the quarter with Favre wanting
to throw deep...OH SHIT! Rice has a step, and
makes the catch at the 5! Christ, I HATE this team. 2nd and goal, play actions, Favre rolls left...the TE, Dugan, is WIDE FUCKING OPEN. Too easy of a TD. ...

The Vikings have outgained the Lions 302 to 125 on offense. Favre is 11-16-197. Peterson has 100 yards on the ground on 8.3 YPC. Rice has 6 catches for 145.
Yet the Lions are only down 7.
If I'm a Vikings fan, I'm furious. I'm guessing this is how your typical Vikes fan sees Brad Childress. ...

Detroit starts the 2nd quarter with a Harris punt, which is returned over the 50...FLAG. Vikes blocked in the back, shooting themselves in the foot once again, losing about 25 yards in the process.

Some suggested pregame reading:
Detroit4Lyfe has done the math, and have selected the Lions All-Time...fantasy football team. It's a shame Scott Mitchell makes the team, but he does have the best season by a QB in my lifetime, 1995. '97 ranks up there as well.
