Kitna to Williams

Roy Williams, 20 yd pass from Jon Kitna (Jason Hanson kick is good), 10:14. Drive: 8 plays, 78 yards in 4:46.

Hope this keeps up in the regular season.

Passing game looks good so far

Have no visual though just the numbers.

10-3 lead at the half

Surprise, surprise. On the Giants 1st string too. They sound good. unfortunately, I have to wait until tomorrow night to watch how they played (NFL network).

Another friggin' penalty

They’d better get them out of their system before the regular season starts.

Sucks. Nice place to check out, though. Thanks!

Thanks for the heads up

I’ll have to compile a list of these things for Lions fans out of town during the season.

That would be very cool.

I miss the Lions very much….as well as the Wings and Pistons.

Orvlosky sounds like he's doing pretty well

I’ve always liked him, he just needs a chance.

Glad Hansen is still the man. He hit one from 50 a bit ago.

4-12-NYG 19 (8:28) 3-E.Johnson 37 yard field goal is No Good, Hit Right Upright, Center-48-D.Muhlbach, Holder-2-N.Harris.

Evening everybody

I’m surprised I haven’t seen any of you guys over at Bless You Boys, the Tigers blog here on SBNation

Sorry, lifelong Cubs fan.

Cant’ root for the American league. I am a big fant of the Lions, Pistons and Wings, though. Used to have season tickets to the Red Wings back in the 90’s.

Ian does a great job with BYB

I can’t even imagine having to blog about the Tigers after the way they’ve played recently.

Me either

But he keeps it going strong..

BTW This pregame show is almost as excruciating as the last few Tiger games..

by explosivo2k2 on Aug 7, 2008 9:18 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Lol

I agree, although it’s better than CW’s coverage of the Lions. Plus I’m looking forward to Gus and Desmond.

You should check out BleedCubbieBlue...

SBNations Cubs blog. One of the most active blogs in SBNation. Their game day blogs have 1000’s or entries. Lot’s of loyal fans.

Have the Tigers' closers put you on suicide watch yet?

I’m lucky my remote didn’t go through the wall.

No belts or shoe laces

And my arms have to be restrained when I sleep.

Other than that, it’s hunky dory. :-)

Yup, Al does a great job

and is very knowledgeable and passionate about the Cubs and baseball in general. great place to visit. I’m there (as well as here) daily.

Now I see why this game was blacked out

Seats look pretty empty.

I think it might be different if it was a Friday or Saturday night

Not saying the place would be full. But Thursday night for a preseason game is kind of tough, even during the summer.

Yea

They gave away a ton of tickets to this game at the Fan Day, and the one two weeks from now. We’ll probably get a better idea for their third preseason game since it’s on a Saturday I think.

Yeah but if some regular season games get blacked out maybe WCF will finally come to his senses and fire millen

by LVLionfan on Aug 7, 2008 9:29 PM EDT   0 recs

True that

They should’ve had a couple blacked out last year but got extensions to sell the tickets.

How about most of them. I'm waiting to hear about

it during the Lions game. Again, glad he’s gone, thanks for the butt whoopins’, don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.

Cason returns the kick to the 23

Looks like those promos were taped. The crowd is sparse but not empty.

Great play by Kitna

He avoided a sack and hit Johnson downfield on the run for a big gain.

TD LIONS!

Kitna fakes the handoff, hits Roy Williams right before getting hit, and Roy takes it to the house.
