Brass Bonanza Award: Detroit Lions

Yeah, it’s sad, believe me Missy, when you’re born to be a sissy, without the vim and verve.  But I could show my prowess; be a lion, not a mowess.  If I only had the nerve.  -Wizard of Oz 

Brass Bonanza:  Ok, here we go!  Just in case you didn’t know.  Maybe you didn’t hear about it, you’ve been away a long time.  They didn’t go up there and tell you.  They didn’t go up there and tell you the Brass Bonanza Award is given to the week’s biggest loser.  Brass Bonanza was the Hartford Whalers fight song.  Need I say more?    

I proudly present this week’s Brass Bonanza award to the Detroit Lions.  The Detroit Lions are the worst franchise in sports.  Bar none. The Tennessee Titans’ 47-10 win in Detroit marked the second-most points and the second-largest victory margin that a visiting team has recorded in a Thanksgiving Day game in NFL history.  The Titans 35-3 first-half lead was the most points scored in the first half by any team in any Thanksgiving Day game in the history of the NFL.  The Detroit Lions do not deserve this game.  The Detroit Lions have not won a game all year.  They do not look like they are going to win one any time soon. 

It’s time to cue up the Steve Spurrier soundbytes.  “I’m telling you, I respect the Lions if they do that, but right now, they haven’t done that.  So come to me, like I said, don’t call me when you’re in my town, call me when you’re on my block, and I see you next door moving your furniture in.  That’s when I’ll know you’re going to the toilet and you’re about to lose.  And if you lose it, I’ll be dressed up in a tuxedo waiting on my bride.”

The Brass Bonanza Award:

Peace out homies.  Six two and Even!
