I was lucky enough to win an auction or a pair of tickets to the Jets/Patriots game a few weeks ago. I won them in a charity auction for the Make a Wish Foundation. They were 3 rows behind the Pats bench at about the 35 yard line and included a parking pass. I won them for $400 dollars.

I'm a Pats fan and have been since the late 60's. That was the closet, and by far, the best seats I ever had.It was a great experience. I got a couple of autos (Bourne, Pop Douglas), beautiful weather, great seats and a perfect outcome when the Patriots scored with 22 seconds left to win the game to beat our hated rival. I expected the Pats to get smoked quite honestly. This was a bucket list item for me. I'm starting to do them now that I'm getting older (66 tomorrow).

I'm really enjoying the Jets meltdown this season because my Pats pretty much suck, but getting better. I look at the Jets the same way I look at the Yankees. If my team can't win I want those teams to do horrible.

You know who are the anti-Jets? The Detroit Lions.

Dan Campbell seems to have gotten that culture right. All those fourth down calls, receivers who block, left tackles who never give up sacks. Win or lose, you know what the Lions are about, and it's great to watch.

It's the strangest thing ever to happen in my lifetime living here in Detroit. The Lions have sucked for generations. This is the first time they have ever (since 1930!!) won 10 or more games in successive seasons. Their first 11 game winning streak. They even seem to be getting all the calls from the refs. The only bummer is that the Ford family still owns the team. They don't deserve this. If you can put money on the Lions to win the Super Bowl, do it! This is a once in a century event!

Lions are certainly an entertaining team. Fun game last night. Jared Goff is one of the strangest QB's I've ever seen. Every ball out of his hands looks like a lame duck, but it gets where its going almost every time. He does kind of have that Drew Brees touch on the ball. Doesn't always look pretty, but extremely catchable. Great story.

I'd like to see them make a run at it. Dan Campbell was originally drafted by the Giants and spent 4 years with them, so it's enough of a connection to give me an excuse to root for them.

Did Eli throw a single spiral in his entire career?

Yep, indeed. The only thing I noticed were his two rings.

Read the devastating article about Woody Johnson in the Athletic. Wow. I guess it isn't fair to entirely blame Aaron Rodgers for the Jets sucking so badly. I mean, the guy is out there on McAfee laughing at the Jets himself!

(See video at https://www.espn.com.au/nfl/story/_/...release-season)

It's funny that the Giants have an even crappier on-field product, but they are not seen as as much of a laughingstock as the Jets.
