Kevin Smith could not help it

NFL Football at its best. NFL Football at its craziest.
What in the world was he thinking about? Running back Kevin Smith of the Detroit Lions has publically announced that the Lions will be in the playoffs.

Let’s do the math. 0 – 16 last year and probably need 10 victories this year, so they just need, uh, just a second, uh, oh, about 10 more victories! Wonder if any team in the history of the NFL has improved by 10 wins in one season? Wait a minute, the Dolphins went from 1 – 15 to 11 – 5, of course, they had Big Tuna as their manager. But that does make is possible.

Kevin Smith better run as good as he talks

The Lions have no offensive or defensive line. New corners, new safety, new linebackers, new hot dog vendor in section 209 and problems all over the place. Now they do have Calvin Johnson, so a few wins are possible.

Here is some of Kevin Smith’s nonsense.

If Smith had stopped there, I’d have shrugged it off as homage to his departed teammate, an NFL version of a rapper sampling one of his influential forebears. However, Smith took his delusions to an entirely new level, claiming, “Believe it or not, we weren’t far off last year. Almost every game we could have won, we were one play or one player short. Except for Tennessee on Thanksgiving … they manhandled us, but nobody else did.”

It’s possible that the Green Bay Packers (48-25), San Francisco 49ers (31-13) and Chicago Bears (34-7), who drubbed the Lions in consecutive games during the first quarter of the season, might take issue with that statement. I’m guessing the Jacksonville Jaguars (38-14) and New Orleans Saints (42-7) also processed their subsequent clashes with the Lions in a slightly different cognitive manner.
