Legal Commentary

I know this has nothing to do with law, and I promise a substantive post on labor law reform tomorrow or the next day, but today I ask that you indulge my posting about the Detroit Lions, the first pro football team to go 0-16 since the NFL went to a 16-game schedule some years ago.  As a long-time fan, I need to vent.

I propose two competitions.  First, a joke competition.  Example:  "Knock, knock"; "Who's there?"; "Owen"; "Owen who?"  "Owen sixteen."

Second, a challenge to list improbable events that have happened more than Lions playoff victories.  The Lions have won exactly one playoff game in the past 48 years, and none since 1992.

So, for example, one could say, "who would have thought in 1960 that there would have been serious impeachment proceedings started against more Presidents than Lions playoff victories in the next 40 + years"?  Or, "who would have thought in 1988 that the U.S. would be involved in more wars against Iraq than Lions playoff victories in the next 20 years?"

Feel free to leave your suggestions or related thoughts in the comments.
