So the report & statement from the HOF was premature. Just talked to Mel Farr Jr., he said he talked to Lem Barney III, who talked to Lem's nurse, who said Lem is alive. "He's fine. I don't know where that report came from." He said he got a picture sent of Lem w/his nurse today.

Not sure what kind of NFL ceiling Trinidad Chambliss has as a QB, but he's a high-floor guy as a toolsy backup at worst. You wouldn't know he's short just from watching him play.

Nobody's ever allowed to have a bad game ever again, apparently.
I get the frustration. I share it quite deeply. But the 24-hour rule really needs to be heeded more. Has saved me from making (more of) an ass of myself many times.

My Lions buddy has already texted me this morning and said Lions need to move on from Meathead Dan and should have fired him and kept Ben Johnson 🤦🏻♂️. Claims Dan is Lionized and his reckless ways have set team back.

Age-old axiom that teams don't like having to taste their own medicine. Certainly true for Detroit.
Every team now goes for every 4th down vs Detroit 🙃

Lions can't execute, fall to Packers in Thanksgiving heartbreaker. My story from a statistical dead heat that Green Bay won by being smarter and sharper.

Welp. That's a rough miss on 4th. Jamo drop on the Goff rollout. Detroit's 4th down woes persist. Play was there, execution was not.
