Thanksgiving Trivia (answer)


Dear POD'ers,

It's Thanksgiving and that means only one thing - Lions football.  Come to think of it two things:  Turkey and Lions football (sort of sad not having Madden call the games though).  As I make my way up to Utica, NY to visit the family, my girlfriend and I have all of our Lions gear packed and ready to wear PROUDLY on Thursday (well me anyway, not convinced she's fully on board yet).  Anyway, I hope everyone on POD has a happy Thanksgiving!!  I hope to talk to some of you guys during halftime of the game on POD.  I'm hoping for a miracle here but a Win would be HUGE!!!!    GO LIONS!!!!

ANSWER:  Alas, as our wonderful moderator Sean pointed out the Lions certainly didn't go 3 - 10 in the 1990's on Thanksgiving!!  LOL.  I meant 3 -  7 (sorry mistype).  The answer is the Lions actually went 7 - 3 during the 1990's on Thanksgiving.  Not a bad record.  Some great games were included - the smackdown Barry put on the Bears, the "Coin Toss" game vs. the Steelers, the dismantling of the Patriors (pre-Brady of course), etc..  Let's hope for some more great memories tomorrow!!!
