I recorded the Buccaneers and Rams game. I saw the final score on Sunday but I didn’t watch the game until yesterday. This morning I watched the Terry Bradshaw interview with Matthew Stafford. I’m going to put it here as a reference for you all if you did not see it:
I first became a Detroit Lions fan at this time:
This was a picture from Sean‘s first year playing peewee football for the Dearborn Lions. When I saw their first game, it was just a bunch of little kids pushing each other. I was a big football fan in high school and I knew all of the positions (because I was dating the quarterback) but it had been a while since I knew what the positions were. I couldn’t figure out watching the kids play so I started watching the Detroit Lions to get a better feel of the game. This was in 2009. The year that Matthew Stafford started playing for Detroit.
I really got into it because my son was playing so I needed to understand the game and I immediately had a super big crush on Matthew Stafford! I was extremely saddened when he was traded! The trade really put things into perspective for me and I didn’t know who my team would be after that. I don’t recognize any of the Lion’s players now which bothers me. I watched the first Rams game and saw the highlights from the second game. A programmed my DVR to record the box and rams.
Frankly, I’m a bit overwhelmed that my man won! I sent this text to Sean and two friends from high school.
Sean responded with these texts:
I knew it would be a good game but I needed to wait to watch it. I watched it yesterday and before I did, I saw tweets from GMFB because —#MSsucks! So I can no longer watch it live and live tweet them during the show but instead I will see the tweets later in the day. Before I watch the game, I saw this:
I remembered when Golden Tate said that Matthew Stafford was the best quarterback that he received passes from and that was after he had played with Russell Wilson! I knew that he had it in him! One friend from high school texted me this:
I have always liked Kurt Warner! To see this comparison kind of overwhelmed me and I texted it to my other friend. Here was his response to me :
This friend has known that I have loved Matthew Stafford the whole time and had tons of faith in him! To see it come to fruition it’s a bit overwhelming as well but also a little sad that he couldn’t do that for us here in Detroit!
