I have a theory. This team has been owned by the Ford family starting with William Clay Ford November 22, 1963 the same day John F. Kennedy was assassinated. The only championship ever won by this franchise was in 1956 under the ownership of D. Lyle Fife (Fife Electric) and one of the owners of the Goebels Brewery for a little history. Old Henry reputably was a vicious Anti-Semite sometimes siding with the National Socialists in Germany along with his colleague Fr. Charles Coughlin the radio priest. I think the Fords should relinquish ownership of the team completely. Maybe the anti semitism of their ancestor caught up with them and cursed the team. They have had few if any winning seasons under their ownership with more quarterbacks than I can count. Loyal fans have learned disappointment and it has become part of the local lexicon. We are always building the team. We only lost in the last quarter. I learned to curse with my father yelling on the couch at the TV.
Bitter cold morning today. Got the kids to school at about the right time. Those responsible for clearing off Telegraph did a lousy job but the freeway was ok and speeds moved at nearly normal. Feeding my buddy Apollo this morning. Got a new wallet finally. My family has been complaining about my relic for many years. Yes. it was old and tired but really broke in and felt familiar in my back pocket. Made roasted potatoes to go with the orange chicken for this troops this afternoon.
not much else
and Happy Valentines Day
stay safe
