NOT the Year of the Big Cat

Some people look forward to New Years as a chance to begin again - to improve and to obtain goals however meger or lofty. I have a feeling 2009 is going to be a better year for the 0-16 DETROIT LIONS.
This was not a good year for the BIG CATS of the National Football League. The Detroit club last won the NFL title in 1957. The disappointments were also with the other big cats - the JAGUARS and BENGALS. The PANTHERS, who previously lost 15 games in row in 2001, made the play-offs.

The last team to lose all of their regular season games was the 1976 Tampa Bay BUCCANEERS -
when they wore jail house orange and had a fancy feathered dude on their helmet. Unfortunately, the LIONS should have been like this ...

but were more like this ...

Here's hoping that the teams have a better year - but at least it's a memorable one for the record. Congratulations to the LIONS !
