According to this piece of news, the NFL will be offering the first live game broadcast in 3-D this Thursday evening. You’ll be able to see the Superbowl-winner New York Giants play in 3-D in a New York theater. You’ll be able to see the dynasty New England Patriots play in 3-D in a Boston theater. And, uh, you’ll be able to see the Raiders play in 3-D in an LA theater. Yeeeeah…

It’s hard to hate the Raiders when they’re 3-9. It’s like kicking someone in the teeth when they’re already bleeding profusely from the eyes and ears. Lest ye think I’m being facetious, the Titans went 4-12 not so very long ago. It ain’t pretty. Strangely enough, the Raiders aren’t the worst in their division. That dubious honor belongs to the Kansas City Chiefs at 2-10. Guess who one of their wins was against? (See “Raiders” above.)
Even if your team is kinda crap this year, you can take heart that at least your team ain’t the Detroit Lions. What in the hell is going on over there? Besides the fact that Detroit is hemorrhaging economically, especially with the auto industry bailout, the Lions are winless so far and look to go 0-16 this season. The rest of their games are against teams with winning records. I saw only part of their game last week against the Titans because it was so depressing.
If you follow hockey, it’s like looking at an entirely different photo. The Detroit Red Wings are the current Stanley Cup champions. Talk about putting all your sports eggs in one basket.
