Chem, you realize arguably the greatest team in Detroit history was the 1962 team - right? Joe Schmidt's quote about that loss to GB that season I never forgot. "We never should have thrown the ball, we should have ran Nick. Yale could have punted that ball all the way to Milwaukee - we should have made them earn it". The other meeting was the 11 sack destruction of GB on Thanksgiving.Originally posted by chemiclord View PostComment

Yeah, I'm aware that the Lions had some good teams after their last championship. But those teams became the blips. They became the exception rather than the rule.
My point still stands. Incompetence trumps history, and Aston Villa (in this case) is led by incompetence. There's no excuse for a team with the resources they (will soon not) have to be languishing mid-table in England's second division. And when they lose that stipend, all bets are off. They can't even field a decent side with the financial advantage. What do you think is going to happen if they try to start budgeting like the rest of the second flight?
Hell... they might get relegated again within the next three years.
(Though admittedly that is a highly unlikely nightmare scenario that would require owners willing to suffer that humiliation without selling off and the Ford-like stubbornness to continue on their current course with their current leadership.)Last edited by chemiclord; September 23, 2018, 05:22 PM.Comment

Meanwhile... in golf related news; Tiger Woods might just be back, ya'll. And not even in an "old man puncher's chance" sort of way. He finished REAL strong, and capped it by winning The Tour Championship.Comment

The Villains will be back, but they are like a few teams that are too big for the lower leagues but too small to truly compete in the Premier League.
Liverpool top of the table but their schedule is pretty daunting for the next few weeks, I wonder if they punt Tuesday's game versus Chelsea.

I took a peek at the Scottish table and Hibernian is currently second ahead of the Brog and Rangers. Unfortunately they are staring up at the Jambos. A quick look at the schedule reveals they have had a soft schedule so far in the premiereship, that changes for the next couple fixtures, Celtic and then the Jambos.Comment
