A you know, the NFL goes to extremes to ensure parity each year. The Detroit Lions recently concluded a 0-16 season so the league office has gone to extremes to help them out in 2009. 2009 DETROIT LIONS SCHEDULE September 13..................... Taft Junior High School 20......................Cub Scout Troop #101 27..................... Detroit Blind Academy October 04.....................Spanish American War Vets 11.....................Crippled Children's Home 18.................... Eloise Mental Hospital 25.....................Girl Scout Troop # 353 November 01.....................Michigan Venereal Disease Clinic 08........ .............Fraser Boys Choir 15.....................Korean Vets 22..................... National Hospital Pastoral Ministers 26.................... Great Lakes Synchronized Swimming Team SPECIAL MONDAY NIGHT GAME December 08.................... Grand Rapids Gay Boys Clubs Proposed Rules Changes The Lions will be allowed 20 men on the field at all times. The Lions will be allowed to substitute with band members at anytime. The Lions will be awarded 10 timeouts as opposed to 3 for the opposing team. The Lions will be awarded a first down with each gain of three yards or more, instead of the usual ten yards. ** NAME CHANGE ** The Detroit Lions will be changed to the " Detroit Tampons" as they are only good for one period and have no second string.
Some optimists here think that next year could be a 10 win season.....but many of us are not so sure. There are some difficult games on that schedule.....if you're the Lions.
I thought it was early for next year's schedule to be out. Looking at the one George posted, I think it could be a phoney. I heard that on Thanksgiving this year that they would be playing the Mackinac Island Fudge Packers. It used to be that the Lions played the Packers every Thanksgiving.
