Lions Get 1st MNF Game In A Decade

[krulmichael]

Week 5, October 10th, 2011. Chicago Bears @ Detroit Lions at Ford Filed. YESSIR!

And yes this deserved it's own thread, it's a been a 10 fucking years since we got one (in which we lost 35-0 to the Rams in 2001 lmao).

Hopefully you guys sellout the arena...

edit: but congrats

Imagine when you get your first Sunday night game!

Monday Night is the new Sunday Night Jr.

[TheImmortalGoud]

I'll consider going to this.

[Rayman]

That's not true. Detroit had a primetime game last year

 

...when the Metrodome got its roof torn open.

[Kuzzy Powers]

The Bears say you're welcome.

[Rush]

Jay Cutler said get off his coattails pussies.

[G-men]

thats pretty stupid, even if the Lions dont sell out their stadium. there are teams that play on MNF three times a year, i never even noticed that the Lions havent been on in a decade.

watch the lockout continue into the season and this game is cancelled...the streak continues.

East Dillion Lions > Detroit Lions

After reading up on the political consipracies thread, I'll chalk this one up as ESPNs attempt to restore analyst Matt Millen's rep. When the game rolls around and it's Cutler vs Zac Robinson for supremacy at the bottom-half of the NFC North, America will know Millen wasn't the only one in Detroit that couldn't draft worth dick.

I had tickets to the last one, but I didn't go. I've been waiting so long for this, now I probably won't even be in Detroit for it. Might just have to come back for it, but I guess watching it on tv will be cool.

Haters gonna hate

Excuse me? Drew Stanton will be doing the dougie all Monday night long.

I agree, its like watching the Red Sox and yankees every fucking night on ESPN, I know its a rivallry and ratings but Im sick of seeing the same teams. Im glad they got Monday Night Game. I hope they wear their unis that they were on thanksgiving I love those silver helmets with nothing on them and the silver pants with the blue jerseys. Dont do anything gay and wear black or something.
