“You Know You Can’t Hold Me Forever…”
AUDIO By LC Weber on November 26, 2009 at 11:49 am
Let us join hands around the Thanksgiving table and bow our heads for a few words. Shall we?
Lord,
So far as I see it, there are two options. Either Mike Ilitch decides his Little Caesar’s pizza franchise has room enough to house the Lions along with the Tigers and Red Wings, or Bill Ford Sr. gives the team a long, Fredo kiss-of-death “goodbye” and let’s them move onto greener, more winning pastures in another city.
We — the we that continue watching Lions games every Thanksgiving in the hopes that a retro Honolulu Blue jersey will garner a holiday bowl “W” — have been the unwitting Dorothys to these cowardly Lions for far too long. We’ve skipped gheyly down the path, awaiting the wise words of the man behind the NFL curtain, preparing for an eventual victory we always believed was within us. But now I see this just isn’t so.
So thank you, Lord, for this food and all the Blessings you’ve bestowed upon me and the we that is us. I am and we are truly, truly thankful. And I would like to give back — I give back my local yokel NFL team. May they win a Super Bowl ring as the Los Angeles Lions.
Amen.
P.S. I’d like to redact all of the above iffen Barry Sanders makes dreams come true and returns in any capacity to the Detroit Lions at the tender age of 41. AND/OR the Fords sell the team to someone else in Detroit who actually likes winning enough to properly handle the team.
P.P.S. With my Wizard Of Oz fantasies wiped away, I dedicate this to my cowardly Lions.

If the Lions win today, that’s 3 W’s.
Think about that.
And think about the fact that TSS is the only place where you’ll see an Elton John song that’s not “Benny & The Jets,”
that would be too easy & we’re just too diverse.
*brushes shoulders, turns to brush LC’s then pops both our collars*
That’s Rae’s sample for “Kiss The Ring”
i want to take this day to thank you for making this site focused so exclusively on the city of detroit. its the only city i care about, and i want to read about it on a daily basis.
Detroit = *yawn*
Don’t you just love Detroit? Detroit & Miss. are the underdogs of the America. How can you not love them?
Another “the Lions are horrible” joint really?..although no mention of Sangria..so that’s a plus..but I’m waiting for another how hard life is in the “D” post..cause I mean it’s the only city that has it rough,right?..lol..it’s all love though..peace..
It’s the only city she calls home though, so you write what you know.
This has to be the LAST Detroit game on Turkey Day; the nfl has to put on more competitive games on Thanksgiving.
another lame Detroit post…on to the next one
Detroit > your city. Hell, mine too. I like Detroit.
Detroit is not now nor was it ever, even in its supposed “glory days,” ever > New York City. Sorry bout it.
