Not 0-16

As a sports fan, I enjoy watching historic moments.

But, I really hope that the Detroit Lions do not make history today by becoming the first to go 0-16.

No, I'm not a Lions fan. I do have family members who are. I just don't want to see it happen.

Maybe, I feel sorry for them.

The Lions have suffered enough. They had to deal with Matt Millen and his horrific tenure as President and General Manager. They've had to deal with organized walkouts. They've been embarrassed on Thanksgiving.

They don't need this.

Unfortunately, I don't think they're going to be able to beat the Green Bay Packers today. Not in Lambeau. Not with this team that seems to be devoid of pride. As a person who used to play the game, there is no way I would let me or my team go out like this. You would like to think somebody in that locker room would stand up and say, "We are not going to allow THIS to happen".

Obviously, that is not the case.

I never thought I would see a team go undefeated and then the Patriots pulled the feat last year. I definitely thought I would never see a team go winless. But, the Lions are trying their best to make it happen.

Hopefully, it won't happen.

Go Lions!!!

The Wizard has spoken.
