Let the Big Man Eat

It has to be the play of the year. In fact, for my money it has to be the single greatest play I've ever seen. And I'm not even slightly kidding, I'm dead serious. Shaun "Big Baby" Rodgers put the stamp and exclamation point on the Detroit Lions decimation of the Denver Broncos on Sunday. Good times and laughs were had all around Ford Field on this afternoon.

The hysterics of the afternoon came when Big Baby picked off a Patrick Ramsey pass (he'd already knocked Jay Cutler out of the game) and took it 66 yards to the house. As the Big Man galloped down the field, he pushed his way to the finish line after a stiff arm to Selvin Young. He then leaped for a gorilla splash/collapse over the goal line. Several Lions players swarmed "Big Baby" in the end zone to make sure he was still alive and breathing. He motioned for oxygen and/or food, as the gesture looked more like a "feed me" signal. He found the oxygen mask on the side line, but undoubtedly treated himself to a well earned post game king's feast.

It was just one of those, you had to see it moments. However, it's simply a fitting cap on what was an all around "great" day to be a Lions fan. As always, Big Al from the Wayne Fontes Experience puts the day in perspective in his weekly recap. God's Team is for real at 6-2...where we go from here is yet to be seen. For now, enjoy the photo recap of "Big Baby's" scamper.

I love it when ya call me Big Poppa...

It was all a dream I used to read "Word Up" magazine...

A tee bone steak, cheese eggs and Welch's grapes...conversate for a few cause in a few we gonna do what we came to do ain't that right boo? True.

Biggie, Biggie, Biggie can't you see, sometimes your words just hypnotize me.

I can't remember the last time I had that much fun watching a Lions game.

The Lions are 6-2? 6-2! I'm going to start stocking up on MRE's, ammo, and water, then bunker down, as in a world where the Lions are 6-2, Armageddon has to be just around the corner...
