PERFECTION

There are a number of people who have a personality strength which is often overlooked or underappreciated. That strength is perfectionism...and I confess that I am a perfectionist. It's difficult for us to be around imperfect people and sometimes it's even difficult for imperfect people to be around us.

I've discovered during the past few weeks that perfectionism can be a good thing or something that is outright disgusting and shameful. How? The Detroit Lions have a unique opportunity to be perfect this season. All they have to do is lose their last game to the Green Bay Packers in Green Bay where they have not won since 1991, and they finish the season a perfect 0-16. No one has done it, and no one has tried to do it, until the Lions came along. They saw a unique opportunity and decided to take it and the 2008 Lions will proudly hold this record until the NFL expands the league to include a few high school teams.

What if the Lions played a game and no one showed up. Would the game still go in the loss column?

This year the Lions have an opportunity to be perfect...perfectly inept, untalented, without a win, and miserable in every way. Go Lions! Go for perfection!
