A Bad Day All Around At Ford Field

Everything went wrong at Ford Field today, as the Lions had their eighth straight holiday turkey 27-15. Before the game began, "American Idol" runner-up Lauren Alaina forgot the words to the national anthem! Once the game began, the Lions went up and down the field, only to have nothing to show for it. Late in the first half, one of Stafford's passes was intercepted, and the Pack converted to take a 7-0 halftime lead. Well, that's not so bad, but the Lions had lost Kevin Smith to a high-ankle sprain. Hopefully, he'll be able to play in the Sunday Night Football game in New Orleans a week from Sunday. I'm not sure I can say the same for Nadakong Suh, who foolishly shoved a player's head into the turf, them stomped on him in the second half. That penalty basically gave the Pack a touchdown, earned him an ejection, fine, and quite likely a suspension. I like how the Lions, and Suh in particular, play with an attitude-it is similar to how the Pistons and Raiders played back in the day-but the Lions have GOT to control their emotions, before too many stupid things like this ruin their season. It was a bad day all around for the Idol finalists, as Winner Scotty Mcreary had a lip-sync malfunction at the Macy's parade in New York the morning.
