    Lions 6-10, 4gm win streak (no longer active streak in the NFL besides the Pats) we're hungry, determined and angry. We've learned to win and not give it away in the 4th. Too bad the seasons done!

    It should be an interesting draft!

    Megatron was a big part of one or two of my fantasy championships this year. Didn't matter who was throwing to him, he was solid.

    That is true. I am eager to see what Detroit does with Shaun Hill, he had a huge role in the late success of the Lions and to just dump him when Stafford gets back would be horrible.

    Even as a backup he is worth more then ever letting go. Especially with Stanton being #2 if Hill leaves. Ewww... (I'm a huge State boy but Stanton just isn't performing like Hill)

    The draft will be exciting that's no doubt. Hill is a free agent now and I'm concerned they're just going to dump him. What a mistake.

    I didn't understand why SF let Hill go, his play helped Singletary get the head coaching job.

    Time for a nanny state update. No surprise here, the latest city to seek a ban on Happy Meals instead of dealing with real issues is... New York City.

    We aren't happy people . I wonder when Comrie will propose banning dirty water hot dog stands ?

    Want to see how long it takes for NY to ban being rude?

    I don't suggest holding your breath,

    Boston Mayor Thomas Menino just banned sugary drinks from city property.

    “I want to create a civic environment that makes the healthier choice the easier choice in people’s lives, whether it’s schools, work sites, or other places in the community," said Menino in the press release issued last week about the soda ban.

    Menino announced the ban to force people into healthier choices the day after reaching an agreement to allow the sale of mixed drinks at Fenway Park, as Coke is obviously the healthier choice when mixed with Jack Daniels.

    I think they should ban wealthy Senators from parking yachts elsewhere to avoid paying taxes to the state they represent.

    Start, or showing up for work instead of being "fleebaggers" in another state.

    Some Chicago schools are now banning lunches packed from home. No word yet on whether they'll allow the sale of mixed drinks.

    I read that in this morning's paper. The kids who packed their own lunches brought chips and soda and cookies. The school principal hoped the school would give them a better variety and more nutritious food. The kids are throwing it away.

    Go back to chips and sodas and cookies?

    I'm thinking the school should involve the kids in making up the menu. Both should compromise.

    I can't imagine the ruckus my mom would've made if they prevented us from bringing in the lunches she made for her 5 children.
    Actually... yes I can imagine it. She stormed the gates of the schools more than once.

    She sent you to school with a lunch of chips, soda, and cookies? I think not! That is exactly why the principal is doing this -- the kids are packing their own lunches -- and badly. What would you have put in your lunch bag?

    I used to get chips and a sandwich, Soda was available in the machine at school and I got an allowance so I could get cinnamon rolls that they baked fresh daily and smothered in butter. So why should the state control the foods people eat?
