http://www1.myp2p.eu/broadcast .php?matchid=21834&part=sports

I have never used it before, so if it doesn't work at gametime, don't blame me..LOL!!

Why would anyone, even attempt to watch, and waste their precious time, watching this team? They must want to hurt themselves, or have no life. Here's some better things to do:
1.Attend church with your family
2.Get to know your kids more
3.Drink less beer
4.Be in a better mood all day for your wife
5.You'll swear alot less today
6.Go to the zoo or DIA
7.You won't kick your dog or wife today :-)
8.Read a good book, maybe a bible
9.Relax, maybe take an afternoon nap
10.It will be your less frustrated Sun. in years

Use your imagination, instead of watching this joke of the NFL. If you really want to watch this, question your sanity and seek professional help. It's your choice and up to you.

How hypocritical can you be, stotter?

Out of those ten supposedly "helpful" things you've listed, how many of them do you do every Sunday? Or are you one of those fans that "must want to hurt themselves, or have no life."? Do you "question your sanity and seek professional help." when you yourself watch the games??

Again, bag on the Lions team for being a horrible team, blast the Ford family for not being smart about things, criticize the play of the players, critique the logo, hate the color scheme, question the draft picks, nit pick the officiating, complain about the price of beer at the games, play armchair quarterback, be a stat geek but NEVER ever question the loyalty of the fans; because you're one too.

1.Attend church with your family
BTDT

2.Get to know your kids more
No Kids

3.Drink less beer
Don't drink

4.Be in a better mood all day for your wife

My mood isn't affected by the Lions unless they lose during a "contending season" (which hasn't happened in the 21st century)

5.You'll swear a lot less today
See #4

6.Go to the zoo or DIA
Did that dozens of times in the 80s and 90s, and am disabled now

7.You won't kick your dog or wife today :-)

No dog, but I love our cats (and all pets) too much to be cruel to them. My wife is 5' 11' and kicks back...LOL!

8.Read a good book, maybe a bible

I am semi-retired, have read thousands of books, can read whenever I want.


9.Relax, maybe take an afternoon nap
See #8

10.It will be your less frustrated Sun. in years
See #4


I think that it is kinda cool to be able to watch the Lions play a NFL-mandated blackout game anyway in the internet age, and I don't expect anything but a blowout today by the Redskins, but I haven't attended a single game since the move to Ford Field, and own no team paraphernalia.

The Lions took the wind out of my sails for poking fun at them by firing Millen, benching their starting QB, and trading a star WR. They have put up the white flag, with the season not even half over and now I watch for the reason of the historical significance of their real possibility of running the table to an 0-16 season record.

(they're up 7-3 and moving at 11:50 in the 2nd)

0-7, but at least they weren't blown out. The strip from Campbell late in the game might have given them a better chance to win, had the Lions recovered it.

Am I the only one that is beginning to think that Calvin Johnson could be a bit over-rated? Or is he still young and his youthfulness is showing. Or could it be the play scheme of the offense. I think he was better under Mike Martz.

Also Dan O' still has yet to make a big play in a timely fashion. He seems scared under presser. I don't see him being a Lions much longer.

Bottom line, this team is not very talented...on down to the coaching staff!

How was I so fooled during the exhibition season?..then too, I had some skepticism. I guess it was the cornbread smell!

By the way, thanks for the link (especially the second link) showing the Lions. I must be a true fan?

Calvin Johnson needs a two minute drill on how to tie his shoes.

QBs have to throw to their star WRs in double coverage, and especially when they have a size advantage and jumping ability.

No risk, no glory.

Lions' O rarely takes chances, unless the defense forces them to, and then disaster occurs.

your right the team is not very talented but when he has the ball you can see that he is a special player. Unlike Barry who got the ball twenty times a game, Detroit has a QB who has no balls and is scared to throw down the field. Teams will allow you to dink and dunk all day long.

the fact remains that the players on the bench have better talent then the players on the field, problem is they don't play.

The streaming links from the stoogeTV website were perfect when viewed with WMP and using IE to browse to it. The links posted in the chatbox there had to be clicked within 20 seconds or they became unaccessable. Fortunately they were reposted frequently by the moderators for almost the entire game for every game all day.

The first link that I posted was of poor quality with apparently no sound or any video sizing controls.
