It's funny retreading this comment thread. Some of you guys are bigger douche bags than Dez. Well done.

legitimate form of protest.

 

Anyways, you are wrong. 

Dez Bryant slapped his mother and undermines his team with his selfish behavior on the sidelines.. Ranting fans, however annoying they are to you, do not have the same effect. You should save your words for those who threaten players and coaches lives, like some idiots did to Sam Martin last week.

there was almost unanimous understanding that the point lost the game but he was a rookie that had been pointing very well until that one. I didn't see too many people upset, let alone giving death threats. Then again, only chimed in to give my support to the punter. Great rookie punter, first bad punt. It happens. Also, not cfb. You can drop a few in the NFL (sometimes be below .500) and make the playoffs. I really get even remotely bothered by one NFL game.

That final drive was a thing of beauty: Three big passes by Stafford and then the surprise at the 1/2 yard line of calling for the spike but then 'showing' the ball across the goal line for the TD, all with about a minute to go in the game.

5-3! Can you imagine the uproar 'round these parts if our Wolverines were 5-3? In Motown it makes for a good week, way to go Lions!

This is the worst analogy. The NFL has a playoff system. Fewer teams. The percentage of teams that make the playoffs is higher than the two who make the BCS title game. You don't have to be perfect to get in the playoffs. Please don't ever compare the two leagues like this ever again. A 10-6 team could easily win the Super Bowl while a 9-3 team cannot come close to winning the title in college.

ESPN guys said some interesting things on Sportscenter.  One, the Lions are definitely a high-ceiling, low-floor team right now.  Very true.  Makes them a pretty captivating watch, too.

Second was that people who liked Brett Favre's style ought to be loving Stafford.  The word "gunslinger" got turned into an overused cariacature, but Stafford flies by the seat of his pants a lot the way Favre used to.  That goal-line dive was awesome.
