I knew my love for baseball has diminished over the years, but my god I keep forgetting they are even playing! I’m sitting at home thinking “well, what should I watch?” Then the next morning I see the highlights of baseball show up on my news feed and I’m like “dammit, I forgot again!”
20 years ago I loved MNF. Not so much any more. I like my football on Sunday afternoons. Plus, the announcers are the worst assembled crew in MNF history and that’s including the Dennis Miller and Rush Limbaugh debacles.
Oh yeah, MNF has gone downhill and been replaced by SNF.
This is a good game and it was a total accident they got it. Nobody thought this was going to be a marquee match up. Because nobody believed in the Lions.
Still cool to watch the Lions in a night game though.
It hasn’t been the same since Howard, Don and Frank were doing the game
Da-Da-Dada. i got pumped up for football whenever I heard that
It was the only real nationally televised game (other than Lions TDay) and an excuse to extend the weekend one more night. Playing on MNF back then was YUUUUUGE
Myself included, to a certain degree.
See, I mentally prepare myself each week for a loss, not so much expect it.
Only issue I have, and maybe you as well, is when these games come down to the wire… THATS when I lose my mind.
I can live with a blowout loss, and be completely fine when the final whistle blows. But when s*** gets too tense to handle, my top comes off regardless of what the outcome is.
And with our secondary at full strength, I would expect quite a few coverage sacks.
I do like our chances, I just can’t get over that hill of expecting some weird/stressful loss.
Maybe this will do it for me
