Detroit-St. Louis NFC Championship Game

The Detroit Lions are now at 0-17 and looking for a way to end their misery this season, but can they do something they haven't done all a season and put one in the win column? In their way, are the St. Louis Rams, winners of an actual Super Bowl and players that have actually been to a Pro Bowl. The Cowardly Lions lost in the Divisional Round to the Packers on a soul crushing fumble return for a touchdown and the Rams looked very ugly by getting shut out by the Seahawks. Is William Clay Ford Sr. actually watching the team he ran into the ground or is he just busy hiring more imcompetent people to do it for him? Video and recap right now.

1st Half


2nd Half


For fuck's sake, we get another scoreless first half as both teams suck so bad it's not funny (actually it is pretty funny.) The Rams went punt, punt and missed field goal and the Lions went interception, missed field goal and interception. Hey Lions and Rams, here is a suggestion: get a fucking quarterback that doesn't suck donkey dick. Even Rex Grossman would be an upgrade to the shit these teams put under center.

To start the second half, the Lions drive the ball to the Rams' 42 yard line and make the gutsy to call to go for it and fourth and four. Since this the Lions we're talking about here, they fail to convert. The Rams, emboldened by their defensive stand, march down the field and get the game's first points on a two yard touchdown run by Steven Jackson. After exchanging punts, Daunte Culpepper's third interception of the game pretty much seals the Lions' fate. However, an ill advised Marc Bulger pass leads to an interception gives the Lions a first down at their 31 yard line with 35 seconds left and no timeouts. The Lions just don't have any time to make a comeback and they advance to the Bizzaro Bowl to face the Bengals. Another day and another loss for the Lions. Can the finish off their disperfect season to go 19-0 and be the Bizarro Bowl champions or the can the Bengals pull off what the Giants did and shock the world? Check back later for all sorts of Bizzaro Bowl fun including previews, player profiles and gambling advice. Be safe out there!
