1997 Topps Autographs #6 Herman Moore

I am writing on a Wednesday since I didn't have time yesterday. I was so hoping to update this blog every week, on Tuesdays, no so worried thought since nobody is following me yet so I am sure there isn't anyone upset this is a day late.

Week One in the NFL is officially in the books. As in every year a few surprise's in week one. The Texans beating up on the Colts wasn't a big surprise to me. Now the Browns losing to the Bucs was. I really thought Cleveland was going to pounded the Bucs. Overall broke even on the gambling side. Took the Browns to win (instead of the pts), Lions, Ravens and Chiefs all covered. Falcons and Bengals did not. 3-3 not so great.

Now lets get back to the Detroit Lions for a moment. 31 seconds left 2 and 10 from the 25 yard line, Sean Hill in for the injured Stafford throws a nice pass to Calvin Johnson for an apparent Touchdown, a called touchdown, but wait is it? The booth calls for a review, and the play is overturned. What a bunch of horse shit! The NFL dropped the bomb on this one. I really hope this is motivation for the Detroit Lions. I would like nothing better than to see the team that went 0-16 in 2008 win the NFC in 2010. Here is the highlight (or lowlight) for those that can't search on the internet.

Now I have always liked Calvin Johnson, since watching him at Georgia Tech. He is turning into a great received, and could possibly be the greatest Lion receiver of all time. He does have a long way to go though before he can knock Herman Moore off the mountain.
