Well I’m up at 6:30am and out the door at 7:30am to head over to Ford Field for today’s game between the Detroit Lions and the undefeated Green Bay Packers. I arrived early knowing that it was going to be a REAL PAIN getting to the Compuware parking structure, because of the Thanksgiving Day Parade. Traffic was backed up big time. It took me about 35 minutes of detours before arriving at the Compuware building. Took my shuttle to Ford Field, cleared security and headed down to the field/ media room.
Shot the breeze with some fellow photogs and set up my work area and headed outside the stadium to cover some pre-game tailgating parties.
Alcohol and turkey’s galore!!!
Transmitted pre-game pic’s and headed up to the 7th floor for the saddest media Thanksgiving dinner I’ve ever had. Turkey was gone…I had a little green bean stuff, a roll, and a cookie. I’m shooting again today with Andrew Webber.
Game was very ho-hum…Lion’s never really got it going. Suh got thrown out of game for stomping on a player. Lots of penalties AGAIN. Green Bay was the better team today.
Lions look SO MUCH better than when I started covering them during the 0-16 season. My hats off to the Lion’s front office and coaches. I look forward to covering them again next season. Today is my last game of the year covering the Lions. My friend Tim Fuller has the last 2 home games against the Vikings and Chargers.
