Did the Detroit Lions play in the NFL this year? Surely they were in a different division than the rest of the league. 🙄
Case in points: the Lions fired their defensive coordinator after last year. A good idea since their defense ranked 32nd out of 32 teams in yards allowed. Obviously, they needed an experienced defensive genius to turn things around.
Guess who they hire? Gunther Cunningham the defensive coordinator last year for the Chiefs. He did far better than the Lions' DC; his defense ranked 31ST in yards allowed! http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/9113092/Cunningham-takes-on-tough-Lions-defensive-job

did anyone think after last year that the Dolphins would win the AFC East, while the Patriots wouldn't even make the playoffs?
did anyone think the Cardinals, a franchise with as unsung a history as the Lions, would be going to the Superbowl?
Superbowl 44 -- Lions vs Chiefs 😀
I once watched an official full length inter-high school game of basketball, complete with refs wearing regulation grey shirts and an electronic scoreboard, where the half-time score was 2-0. The full time score was 6-2. It was in Sorong, West Irian, Indonesia, 1993.
NCAA Basketball changed the rules after Oregon (maybe it was Ore State) won 18-16 (maybe it was 16-14). They introduced the shot clock, or changed its rules. The details are hazy as it was a long time ago.
100-0 calls for rules changes: coaches should be required to train their players to shoot at the wrong basket when they are ahead by 50. That way this game, invented in a YMCA after all, can continue to exhibit fine Christian virtues of selling yourself short when faced with utter incompetence.
