Damn. I guess the free ride is over. For the past six years, since the
move to Ford Field, every home game has been a sellout as far as the TV is
concerned. Yesterday we got a flyer from the Lions pushing full and half
season tickets for every section in the stadium. I guess the waiting list
for tickets has been eliminated. There will be blackouts this year.

There were two or three close calls last yr- once they needed to extend the
deadline. With this economy and a weak team- well, somthings gotta give.

Now, you don't have to waste your afternoon
watching the dummies disappoint you/us anymore.

I wish no one would go to a game until the old man
croaks - but then we'd just get the next Ford dummy in line.

Might as well watch MISERY w/ James Cann and Kathy Bates over
and over.

Or, a minute of Hanson scoring all of the Lions points on highlights.

Forgot this- are you going to any games Mort? I am- guess I'll have my
pick. Although we haven't had any problems getting a ticket except for the
one Fins Turkeyday match up. Denver game last yr. was FUN.

GO ahead and spend your money too see the
organization SHIT on you.

People like you - are why this team won't change.

Yeah, I would love to see a good team and I still root
for them - but why would you spend a penny on them
when, they put out a joke of a team for 5 fuckin' decades ?

Ford loves imbeciles such as yourself !

Don't forget to wear you Harrington jersey while you're at it.
Get your markers out and make your sign - KEEP MILLEN !

Stupid - just plain STUPID !

I kind of doubt it. I always liked going to the Green Bay game, but now
that Favre's semi-gone, it won't have the same old meaning. I guess I lost
my enthusiasm somewhere along the way. I didn't go last year at all, and
the season before, I had to scramble to find anyone willing to waste a
Sunday going with me. I suppose it could be a personal problem. Nah.
