Dad Suggested

Thanks for the guest post by Esteban Vinson

My dad suggested we get Hughes Net Internet for the new house because I had been complaining about how isolated I felt way out here in the country. I don’t know that I was ever cut out to be a farmer’s wife but at the end of the day when you marry someone you marry their hopes and dreams, too, and Chris had always dreamed of having his own cheese making operation. I’m getting used to all the strange smells and noises out here but the goats still freak me out – it’s hard being so far away from the conveniences of town like restaurants and shopping and mail that comes every day and to your house. I mean, I guess I just never imagined that at 30 years old I would be living in the middle of nowhere running a farm like this one but it’s all part of life, you know? You can’t predict where things are going to take you and I guess this is as good an adventure as any other I could imagine!

Lions Road to 8-8

I don't think there is much more than an 8-8 season in the works for the Lions now. After starting 5-0 and then 6-2 they have looked anything but playoff bound. Getting torched by both our division rivals Chicago and Green Bay we just look lost.

With 5 games left expecting to win more than 1-2 of these is a longshot. New Orleans will outscore us. Easily. Minnesota might be the only game left that we do win. Oakland is possible, but it is on the road and there is little confidence I have in winning it. San Diego is a loss. Green Bay there is a guaranteed loss. Triangle Direct has more chance of making the playoffs than we do.

At best we're 9-7. Does that get us a playoff spot? Doubtful. Bears will be around there. Giants should be around there too. Atlanta will also be there. 4 teams fighting for 2 spots and the Lions have arguably one of the toughest finishes in the league. It doesn't look good.

Suh Sucks

After our latest embarrassing T-Day game I think it is safe to say that we no longer have to listen to Suh lovers defend him for his idiocy anymore. Pulling a Haynesworth and kicking a guy on the ground was top notch dirty play. Most fans will turn on him because of their sense of fair play. Me? I don't care. Sammie Lee Hill can do his job the way he is playing this season. Detroit had no reputation that was positive before this. It changes nothing. No personalized pins with catchy slogans can hide the fact that the Lions are still a national embarrassment.

This was the biggest game for the Lions in probably 20 years. That's how pathetic they are. This season is done folks. Don't bother with the playoff tickets. Bears will finish better. Atlanta will finish better and has the tiebreaker. The Giants will likely finish better. Those are the only 3 teams that matter. By the end they may be so far back that 7 may still be their number of wins.

New In Town

Author: Theresa Guerrero

A girl that I work with just recently moved her from California. I was talking to her about all the adjustments she is having to make. She said that she has adjusted pretty well so far and that she has most of her stuff moved in as set up. One of the things she did have set up was her tv. She was not sure which company to use. I told her to go to http://www.cannonsatellite.com/ to research what is available. I told her that she can compare prices and packages to find what would be best for her. I know that it is probably hard moving across the country without knowing anyone. I am trying to help her adjust as much as a I can and she seems to be really grateful for my help. Apparently she is not used to people being so friendly and willing to help. I just know that if I were new in town, I would want someone to reach out and help me. Letting her know what her options for tv packages is just a simple way I can help.
