The Lions Had An Awful Lot Of Excuses About The Wind Yesterday
You could chalk the Lions' embarrassing loss to Chicago up to many things. Turnovers, an inability to get the run game going, Matthew Stafford...but no matter how many things don't go your way, it remains all-but-impossible for an NFL team to win when the wind itself is a Bears fan.

Yeah, That's A Rangers 2011 World Champs Tattoo
Add another to the ever-expanding world of premature Texas sports tattoos. I would like to think this fellow got his ink done with two outs in the ninth in game 6.

Men Whose Job It Is To Hurt Quarterbacks Chided For Being Happy When Quarterback Is Hurt
I get that Lions-Falcons was the closest thing to a matchup of two winning teams yesterday, and that both are likely to be vying for the same limited wild card slots, so we should have expected a competitive game, bordering on the chippy.
