Oh man, I am so ready to sip the sip of delusion. The cup of promise. The smokey bowl of hope and change. I want so much to believe, I ache.

And then I remember how many times the Lions have played Lucy to the Charley Brown of my heart. Plum. Landry. Danielson. Barry and Billy Sims. The Lomas guarantee to beat the Eagles.

Like ashes in my mouth.

Still I want to believe.
