I will begin with weeping....move to sobbing....then finish up with some good ole wailing.

The Ravens absolutely embarrased me yesterday. Their play sucked overshadowed only by their poor behavior. Yea we got bad calls but that happens to every team sometime during the year.

About Detroit....and the fans

The stadium was 1/3 empty and for a dome the fans weren't loud. Pretty sad.

However...

They were pretty good natured about the game and had a good time joking around with them.

Ford Field is an amazing stadium. Very clean and well designed. 5 levels of sky boxes? Wow. The marble (I think) lion was impressive.

The Tigers stadium was pretty impressive too....the huge tigers leaning over the entrances, nicely done.


Driving in from Flint I noticed that the designers had no imagination with street names.....I passed "12 Mile Road" (on 75). I thought wow that is a goofy name until that was followed by "11 Mile Road" and "10 Mile road" all the way to 8.

Hey D I found out afterwards we had a ton of extra tickets....sorry guy...although my suffering was best done alone.

I love the mile roads. Imagination? No. Logical and easy to find things/give directions? Yes!
