The rest of the county was treated to a Detroit Lions game Saturday afternoon at Ford Field, the day after Christmas, also known as the day the rest of the football viewing country learned what it is like to love and, ahem, watch this team.
Not that anyone stayed after the first couple of series, when Tampa Bay — and Tom Brady — scored two touchdowns as easily as I dunked a half-dozen molasses cookies sometime during Christmas. But forget about my sugar stupor for a moment (I got in real trouble when I sandwiched the last four cookies around a couple scoops of vanilla ice cream) and focus.
