I used to attend the Turkey Day game for 16 years in a row!  NO more!!  I haven't even put on any of my Lions caps or sweatshirts this year!! \n\nI watched them yesterday, because I wanted to see Harrington get his justified revenge on both the team and the fans!  I kept saying last year that he was too convenient of a scapegoat for the team!!! Now neither the fans, the team, the coaches, nor Matt Millen knows what to do because, "They don't have Joey Harrington to kick around anymore!"

not too much.  they may have beat detroit but they will not get past round two.  i say whoever plays them will win in 5 games.

Continue to stink. I wish they would pull Detroit games off TV on Thanksgiving day as they always stink it up and make for a real boring first game. Time for some new blood on Turkey Day. Heck America was born in New England (Plimoth Mass) so why not have the Pats in a few Turkey day games.

Lions will definetly win i would like to see them beat pittsburgh because they are the defending champs.  I think denver will have the toughest team so that would be a good game.  It would nice for them to play someone sorry like the colts and blow them out but that wouldnt be fun to watch.

I think this is great.\n\nMike Tirico from SU calling the most popular nationally televised game, with the help of former QB Joe Theimsmann and current PTI co-host Tony Kornheiser. Suzy Kolber and Michelle Tafoys who just went to Detroit will be on the sidelines. You couldn't ask for a better team. Al Michaels is great though, I wish he could have stayed.

It Occurs to me that anyone who is more concerned about someone elses team than their own isnt really a fan of ANY team... Thats you Georgie. Because in all honesty, if every 3 words out of 5 that spew out of yer mouth is about the Yankees and you have the Old english D as yer icon, i seriously call into question what the hell you TRUELLY are! I mean, are you a front running Detroit fan who only recently with this years success found god and the Tigers and decided to let go of your moms nipple and leave home to become a bandwagon jumping "Fan" of the Tigers. Or are you a closet yankee fan who became embittered by the fact they let go of sum player you adored so youve decided that to be what you are, a Hatter, is better than to root for them anymore.. ILD REALLY LIKE TO KNOW! I actually respect Detroit, and like their team, but can they actually WIN a World Series BEFORE you annoint them the team of the coming decade... afterall, it has been AWHILE for them. Talk about your team, talk about yer amazing pitching..talk about yer great manager, and blossoming young lineup and downright scarey bullpen... because if you were a real Tiger fan, THAT is what you would be doing you Freegin Pretender.  You beat the Hated Yankees and then in a WS that everyone and their grandmother thought the Tigers would Walk Through (including me), The Tigers get bent over, lubed up, and buttpounded on national TV... and now after reading the crap youve spewed on here, it couldnt happen to a nicer team. Oh! and by the way Georgie..PINETAR ANYONE!!?

The Tigers are having their best season in a long time.  The Redwings and the Pistons both made it to the post season, which in of itself is an accomplishment.  Our beloved Bill Laimbeer could coach the shock to another WNBA championship.  But as long as the Lions are owned by Ford (the automotive industry is dead here) run my McMillan (who just can't create the vision), I am afraid their is little hope.  But at least Michigan has an underdog to root for.

I'd really love to visit some time and catch a (NFL) Football game.\n\nI love the work hard/ play hard culture.

It's been proven that almost any NFL franchise can literally turn things around and go from goat to gloat. I believe the Lions need to take a look at some of the people they have upstairs, not just Mcmillan. We all know it starts at the top.\n \nYou don't have to be Albert Einstein to analyze other 'winning' NFL team structures and strategies to figure out how they do it. \n\nLook at New England. Look at Pittsburg. What are they doing that the Lions are not? It appears plenty.\n\nAlthough the Lions have cleaned house before, this time they need to strap on the monster vacuum and dig deep into the nooks and crannies. Take no prisoners. This is the NFL and this is business. Winning IS everything and don't be fooled by believing it's not.

I am a Buckeye fan But Michigan is a great time also. That's what make them playing a great game. I don't think they should have a rematch this year. Next year regular season they will have their chance.

I don't think it would help, look at the Bengals who are still owned by the same people that had them when they were losing really bad and now they have turned it around with going to the playoffs this year. The Detroit Lions need a new coach and GM, otherwise their not going real far in the future. \n\nThe coach needs to know more than the X and the O's, he needs to be able to handle pressure. Just as important the coach needs a GM that can go get the players willing to go out there in the game and do their end, let's face it, no matter how good a coach is he can only do so much.

no because my team is the detroit lions and we never win, but i have a feeling that Big Ben will pull it out in Denver.  But if Ben doesn't pull it out I think they should put in ex-lion Charlie Batch because he has gotten the job done this year when Ben has been hurt.  I think Ben is still feeling the affects of his earlier incident this year and the concussion he suffered last week and that is why he's been playing poorly.  I look for him to step it up and shut down his benching rumors and thougths this week to lead the steelers to the afc wildcard

Detroit will bounce back and attack seriously. Joe Dumars need to get up and start looking for some role players. Because Detroit only used 8 players. Come on. You got to have a deep bench or a bench that is solid like the Bulls had back in there championship days. Because them boys were tired. LeBron and the Cavs ran them boys. Miami is LUCKY that they had a tired Pistons team to play against. You can look at those games and see them boys were tired. Chauncey Billups, Ben Wallace, Rip, and Rasheed they were tired. Why you think TayShaun Prince was scoring so much and plus Rasheed didn't Guaranteed a win in this series when they were down. COME ON. Rasheed made his guarantee against the Cavs and won, last year against the Heat and won, Pacers and won, 2 years ago against the Pacers and WON. You know they were tired. they are not sweating this lost. Miami is LUCKY TO DEATH. Because if they were to face a Healthy Detroit Pistons, ready to go boys. Oh we would be seeing Dallas and Detroit going at it. Detroit is coming back so Miami get ready to face the real Detroit PISTONS.

Absolutely!! so they give other teams a chance for once.\n\nWhy does alot of people hate the pistons? \n\nThese guys are great. They just got a little tired and overworked. But they will learn from their mistakes done this year and bring the title home to Detroit again next year.

The Lions played their first Thanksgiving game back in 1934.  The Lions were competing with the Tigers, and owner G.A. Richards wanted to do something to draw a larger crowd.  So, he held the game on Thanksgiving to avoid competing with the Tigers, and he also convinced NBC to broadcast the game nationwide.  The largest crowd during the previous season had been 15,000, and this first Thanksgiving Day game drew 26,000.\n\nhttp://www.detroitlions.com/document_display.cfm?cont_id=147421\n\nThe Cowboys were added in 1966 because Pete Rozelle was looking for a second team, and his good friend Tex Schramm volunteered the Cowboys.\n\nhttp://www.usafootball.com/articles/19-press-box/95-featured-articles/309-turkey-day-football-traditions.php
