Well, can't win them all.

Livonia Stevenson, my alma mater, had one hell of a year in football. They played strong all season. But it was that last game with Macomb Dakota that ruined the title hopes of the Spartans, 49-21. It wasn't that the Spartans sucked. It was that Macomb Dakota was as good as advertised. I wish the Spartans pulled off the upset, but I knew that was a long shot. But still, they played well every game and looked almost unstoppable (of course, Macomb Dakota WAS unstoppable). I feel very proud to be a graduate of Livonia Stevenson more than ever following this fantastic run. Hold your heads high, Spartans. You're chmapions in my book.

My time's up, you've been great. For the road: The White Stripes "Conquest"

Uh-oh!

The Lions looked horrible on Thanksgiving. Not only did the Packers beat the Lions, they absolutely horrendous. Did they even so up? I think that's all I really need to say. DAMN YOU, BRETT FAVRE! DAMN YOU!

My time's up, you've been great. For the road: Snoop Dogg "Sensual Seduction"

Survivor Series results

Could I have asked for a better Survivor Series? Yes, I could have, but this will have to suffice. I went a phenominal 6-1 for Survivor Series here. Thank you Randy Orton; Batista; Jeff Hardy, Kane, Rey Mysterio & Triple H (the fact Matt Hardy couldn't compete didn't change my opinion of this match); CM Punk; Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch; and The Great Khali for picking up the victories for me. As for Beth Phoenix, Jillian, Layla, Melina & Victoria, as punishment for ruining my undefeated hopes, I will not be sleeping with you. My record after Survivor Series is a very powerful 128-97. Take that, snitches!

My time's up, you've been great. For the road: Jay-Z "Roc Boys (And The Winner Is)..."

They still can't win in the desert

Once more, the Lions lose in Arizona to the Cardinals. It's really nothing new, but I hope it's not the start of something new. By that, I mean I hope it's not the beginning of a Lions downward spiral. Playing the Packers next on Thanksgiving, a losing streak is something they do not need.

My time's up, you've been great. For the road: Estelle "Wait A Minute (Just A Touch)"

Wish me luck.

My time's up, you've been great. For the road: Chris Brown "With you"

*pant, pant*

Sorry, I'm late. Now where was I? Well, I'm glad I missed the Ohio State vs. Michigan. It was ugly. I just wish that Lloyd Carr could have gone out on a higher note. And as for Michigan State defeating Penn State was good to see. I mean, this is my sister's school we're talking about now. So I'm glad they finally reached a bowl game.

My time's up, you've been great. For the road: Daughtry "Over You"
