I know that I've overly harped on being at this game.. but I'm extremely thankful of drinking way too much at a Skins tailgate, during the game, and getting "smoked out" by Lions fans (something I hadn't done in years, which unfortunately cost me the chance of seeing Moss' TD). It saved me from seeing a truly horrendous showing from the Skins (I never posted the pics due to the embarrassment). My reply to the game was leaving with other Skins fans, somehow missing where the bus was supposed to be, walking all over inner-city Detroit which thankfully was a Sunday afternoon where most of the city was indoors. Getting a ride from some warehouse guy to.. somewhere. Taking a bus to 8 mile, being woken up by the bus driver telling me it was the last stop. Walking back home to 10 mile..

Overall just a horrible day. I don't even remember Haynesworth being carted off. Since then I've learned that in heat and stadium atmosphere that very limited drinking will still have you amped and ready to deal with the postgame.
