The Detroit Lions Experience
I'm sure many of you have never had the privilege of attending a Detroit Lions game in the middle of December so by my kindness, I've decided to let you all live vicariously through me.
The first step is to have your wife get you free tickets. Paying to see a Lions game would be a huge mistake.

Then after driving across the state through a winter storm warning (the next day there was about 15 inches of snow on the ground), grab some lunch at the Hard Rock. That's one of Robert Trujillo's (Metallica) basses.

A "Rock Your World" Quesadilla. To answer your question: yes.

Our seats were pretty good for being free. We were only 19 rows up.

Jason Hanson, the best long distance kicker in the NFL.

Good news, Orlovsky didn't run out of the back of the endzone.

Dante Culpepper, "This team couldn't even beat the Raiders or Dolphins when I played for them."

While we were there, we spotted a real-life NFL player that played for the Lions.

The Saints, "Well we can't make the NFL playoffs but at least we can win fantasy football championships today."

This was the last moment of hope I had of a Lions victory. The Saints returned the opening kickoff to the Lions' 40 and scored a TD 5 plays later. They scored TDs on their first 6 possessions.

We got outscored by 21 in the first half but Rod gave them "the talk" at halftime and it must have worked because we only got outscored by 14 in the second half. At this point I got sick of taking pictures so I stopped.

After sitting through that, all you want to do is chainsaw some Locusts in Gears of War 2.
