Thanksgiving is right around the corner. Then I put them on the wheel to select a topic. Basically I just ask Twitter to do half my job for me when I’m feeling lazy.

Last week, I was stuck in the middle again at 7-7. My season total is still a feeble 75-87-3. Thanksgiving The Lions are 8-2 for the first time since 1962. They improved to 9-2 that year by beating the Packers 26-14. It was the only loss the Packers suffered that season on the way to an NFL Championship. The Lions would finish 11-3 and play in the forgotten runner-up Playoff Bowl....

And remind me that my late father never trusted any politician ever until JFK. Maybe because they were both saw combat for the US Navy during WWII. But the reason she said he gave her was, “there’s just something about that guy.” Perhaps a vast one. That included multiple gunmen and coverups by investigators at all levels of government.
