Interesting Factiods:
Seattle: Depending on the travel agent of choice, he/she will tell you that the Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers are 1-2 in most miles traveled in 2009. According to the NFL, Seattle tops the
list with 29,054 miles traveled followed by San Francisco’s 29,020 miles. Each will “travel around the world,” which is approximately 25,000 miles.
Seattle will travel 256 more miles than the Indianapolis Colts, Pittsburgh Steelers and Cleveland Browns combined and in the last two years have traveled 63,820 miles, the most in the NFL.
Detroit: The last time the Lions won on the road, the Dow Jones reached its all-time high of more than 14,000 points, oil prices were over $90 per barrel for the first time ever and a share of General Motors stock was still considered a viable investment.
Just the stats, please:
What to watch:
About the only thing worth watching on the Lions is the maturation of Matthew Stafford, and his becoming simpatico with Calvin Johnson. As Megatron is playing today, there's some hope for Detroit. Not much, but some.
When it comes to the watching the Lions, we have to take whatever little we can get. And if that means watching the development of their (hopefully) future stars while they are being de-pantsed by a mediocre to bad Seahawks team, then that's what I'm going to do.
Really, what else is there? The season is over, and the Lions, as is their wont, are playing out the string. A fan has to to make his own fun when watching such a bad team as Detroit. What else would explain the high number of drunks littering the Ford Field stands on a game day?
Prediction:
The Lions winning on the road happens as often as the Vatican names a new pope. I don't expect to see a puff of white smoke coming from the offices at the Lions' Allen Park HQ tonight.
