    Why do the Detroit Lions always play on Thanksgiving when they suck every year?

    That's a question that I've long ponder. Why? Why subject the American public to more sleep after the tryptophan has worn off? The Lions suck; everybody knows it, and this year is going to be their seventh straight loss on Thanksgiving.

    Traditions, as with records, are made to be broken.

    Records more so than traditions, but I agree.

    I have always thought they should go with the biggest rivalries.

    Yeah, this is a good game. I'm hoping Detroit can pull it off. They are looking good so far. Their defense is putting a lot of pressure on Brady.

    They talked about how the Thanksgiving Day Games originated, and it turns out the Lions original owner back in 1934 was the one who brought up the idea of football on Thanksgiving.

    Since he is the "founder" of the idea, it makes sense why they get the game every year.

    At 24-17 it looks like the Lions might win this one. Beat the Colts one week and lose to the Lions the next. Will the Pats be able to endure the shame?
    10-7-07 Bears 27,Fudge Packers 20...12-23-07 Bears 35,Fudge Packers 7
    Then Favre quit and became a Jet...

    NE has made some adjustments and are now keeping the pressure off of Brady. With a few mistakes on offense, the Lions don't look like they are going to be able to hang in there.
