Update: Not 5 minutes after I posted this, MVN sent out notice the new platform is launching later tonight! So make sure you are using WayneFontes.com to get here, and NOT THE BLOGSPOT ADDRESS. More coming as news develops. I'm exhausted after spending the day at U of M hospital...
Detroit Lions @ Minnesota Vikings - Final thoughts: The refs didn't cost the Lions the game, but they sure as Hell helped

1. First things first. I realize all Lions fans are blaming the refereeing for the loss. And yes, I do agree the refs had not a clue, and made a couple of bizarre calls which royally screwed over the Lions. The big one was the pass interference call on Leigh Bodden. It was as bogus...

Sorry about the short posts today, but I'm feeling a little rough...But not rough enough to keep me from coming up with a few more Rod Marinelli jokes!
Rod Marinelli walks into a building and says to the clerk, "I'd like to pound the rock!" The clerk says, "...

Today, as after I woke from one of my too frequent naps, there was a note that had been slipped under my door. What did this note contain? William Clay Ford's short list of replacements for Rod Marinelli. No shit! The names on the list, with my thoughts, follow. Wayne Fontes: Why...

I'll make my final thoughts quick, and to the point. By the way, I'm doing much better now.
Live blog links:
1st quarter: No hope, no hope at all
2nd quarter: Abandon hope all ye who enter here
3rd quarter: Fire Marinelli!
4th quarter: Seriously. Fire...
Lions fans are so desperate, they believe incompetence equals a curse
October 04, 2008 by
The Wayne Fontes Experience
| Comments
The Lions have been not-so-loveable losers for 50 years, which means fans are going to look for any damn excuse they can find which could explain such a miserable half century.
Thus, the "Curse of Bobby Layne."
This coming week being the 50 year anniversary of the...
Jim Leyland: I want an extension, you SOB's! Detroit Tigers: Die in a fire!

The Wayne Fontes Experience
| 1 comment
OK, I admit it isn't quite as contentious as my headline, but there is definitely some tension between the Tigers and their manager. Jim Leyland has gone public, letting everyone within earshot know that he deserves a contract extension, while conveniently forgetting he turned...
It's all in the timing, Mr Ford

The Fords thought they were doing the right thing in the long long long long long long long overdue canning of the porn 'stached goon, Matt Millen. For the long-term future of the franchise, the firing was the right thing to do. But for the remainder of this season? Well, there...
Housekeeping: I'm still kicking

A little bit of housekeeping before things go back to normal at TWFE.
I had the talk with my doctor Monday, and he's found out...well, not much.
It's confirmed that I'm bleeding internally, but they still don't yet know why, where, or how. I'm anemic,...

It's been quite some time since TWFE last interviewed the owner of the Detroit Lions, William Clay Ford. With the Lions in the news for all the wrong reasons, I had the rare opportunity to chat with Mr. Ford recently. What follows is the transcript of out discussion.

Green Bay Packers at Detroit Lions: Final thoughts - That SUCKED

The Wayne Fontes Experience

I try not to put my final thoughts about any Lions game till I've had a few hours to let my emotions simmer down a tad. Otherwise I'd post in an insane rage nothing but "FUCK THE LIONS," over and over and over again, in 72 point font, till I blew up Blogger's...
Reading between the lines: Rod Marinelli speaks, yet says nothing at all
September 09, 2008 by
The Wayne Fontes Experience
| Comments
After listening to the Rod Marinelli gets quite defensive and combative with the media during his Monday presser, I could have let it go as more of the same. As The World of Issac said, "The Lions Have Their Heads Up Their Butts." Indeed. He even posted the proof...

As usual, here's the links to my live blogging gradual descent into profane lunacy.
1st quarter: Do you believe in...gag...now?
2nd quarter: Just kill me now. Put me out of my misery

As I was scrolling through my RSS feeds, I ran into the following headline at Scout.com's Lions site, Roar Report.

Morons in the media: Case number 002*

SI's Peter King, in his Monday MMQB column, writes about the Bengals, and their asinine re-signing of the number 5 (with a bullet) criminal on the FBI's "Most Wanted" list, wide out Chris Henry. Obviously, the Cincy media, and most of Cincy's fans, is aghast....

Gus Johnson's play by play call? The man could make a sewing circle sound exciting. I want Gus Johnson calling every game I watch.
Dan Orlovsky's block taking out 2 Browns? Let's make him the lead blocker on all running plays.
Or Kevin Smith's marvelous run...
