Aaron Jones is out today.

Tight end Luke Muskgrave is also out. Last week he sustained a lacerated kidney during the game with the Chargers. It happened when he was tackled and landed on the football.

Musgrave stayed in the game (which must have been excruciating), but he was later hospitalized because of the injury. He is out of the hospital now, but not sure when he will return to play.

When the Lions beat the Packers 26-14. I wasn’t that close. The Packers scored two meaningless late touchdowns.

Bart Starr was sacked 11 times. Fuzzy Thurston said it wasn’t all bad. The Packer line had learned how to do the “lookout” block. That’s where they’d block and then turn around and yell “Lookout, Bart.” Fuzzy was trying to block Roger Brown who had seven sacks in the game.

magic mushroom nonsense. In ten days he’ll 40 years old, and post achilles surgery. I’m long over him.

And this years game is shaping up to be a massacre the other way.

Ordinarily I’d want a Lions victory, but a loss could be a 49ers advantage in the playoffs.

Both Dallas and Washington are wearing white, but their uniforms are completely clean at the end of the 4th quarter. I guess that's artificial turf for ya.

At Lambeau Field every part of the uniform gets grass stains.
