You’ve got to be kidding.William Clay Ford Sr., with the garbage product he disguises as a football team, actually said he wanted his two-headed front-office team to RETURN next year?It’s beyond belief, isn’t it?On a day when the Lions players showed...
A Floor at the Bottom of the World
First of three parts
The men keep their coats on. It is cold inside this church. They sit at tables, hungry for food, and listen as a woman tries to rouse them with inspiration.
"I AM" she yells.
"I AM " they yell back.
The lighting is dim. Some men hold their chins in their hands.

ONLY FEAT LEFT FOR LIONS IS ONE THEY DON’T WANT
