This week our esteemed Colts/Beagle haiku reporter struggles to deal with the ignominy of a loss, and finds that 17 syllables just aren't enough to continue her angst:
Colts: a record streak
And 50,000 yards. Kate
Beagle simply shrugs.
[And now, to the tune of "Blowing in the Wind"]
How many games will we see Indy tank
Despite setting records again?
And how many questions will Caldwell deflect,
Painter getting boos from ev'ry fan?
The answer, my friend, lies with Bill Polian;
The answer lies with Bill Polian!
--Mary Campbell-Droze

Meanwhile, in Lions Land we note that the Colts took 23 games to gather their 23 wins prior to that game, while it has taken the Lions most of a decade to earn* their last 23 wins. And so, your esteemed Lions correspondent finds that just nine syllables can contain his feeling about the Lions' twentieth consecutive road loss, a streak that threatens to soon pass the NFL record of 24 consecutive road losses set by ... you guessed it! ... the Detroit Lions, earlier this decade.
Anyway, here are my nine syllables on this week's Lions stinker:
"Thank you sir may I have another?"
*"Earn", "Luck into" ... eh, whatever.

I certainly hope that:
ReplyDeleteThe pain of this week's
Losses is reduced due to
Christmas memories
Happy New year to you all too!
ReplyDeleteBoy, I hope this sweet, little not-for-all-viewers video is not a metaphore for your New year's wishes for us in 2010! 2009 was indeed hard the world over but do we really have to bend over and pray for another like it in 2010?
