He is a recovering addict. I actually feel bad for him. Im 17 years sober myself so I understand how devastating that can be.

Ah, I didn't realise that. Wouldn't have been joking about his image change if I had.

HE isin the public gaze so he is fair game.

Monday Night Football. Los Angeles Chargers haven't exactly blown the Raiders away (yet!) but nevertheless they look a different level.

Heck of a finish in the LAR PHI game. The Eagles blocked two FG attempts, the second of which denied the Rams the win, and they returned it for a walk off TD. Great sport for the neutral.

That was a fun one. Similar in the Steelers v Browns game and the Bucs v Jets, but the Bucs had enough time to hit another FG and win the game.

The Eagles did my 49ers a favour beating the Rams, as the NFC West has the Niners at 3-0, then all three other teams at 2-1. They've already been hammered by injuries, so hopefully can squeeze past the Jags next week and get some players healthy for a huge game away to the Rams on the Thursday after.

The NFC West is shaping up to be the division to watch this year.

5 turnovers on offense for the Patriots an yet we were still in the game right to the end. I think potential is there but they have something like 27 penalties through 3 games. Unreal.

Looking forward to the Browns at Ford Field got tickets behind the endzone. I was thinking of touching base with you to see if there was anywhere that will be playing the Swans game on the 27th (7:30 am in the States I think) until I realised we will be driving from Cleveland to Detroit on that day!

The game tomorrow night is on Channel 5 over here so I will be wathcing that on free to view tele which is great, don't have sky sports so have to make do with redzone usually.

Today is the day, CSF. It’s going well at half time.

Better from the Pats. Drake Maye is for real. Diggs looking unreal for under year removed from an ACL. Promising signs. Unfortunately we play th eBills next Monday. Assume the position.

It went well all the way through!!

A great day. The city was buzzing from 8am when we went for breakfast. Then people setting up tailgates.

Ford field is colossal, like a city itself. The shop was amazing, there's not a lot they haven't branded with the Lions and then sell!!

Could talk for ages about the gameday experience.

As for the game itself, interesting to watch it live. It goes a lot quicker than you think. My wife commented it didn't seem as long as 3 hours.

Had a Brown's fan 4 seats down from me sitting with Detroit friends. Also saw a number of couples one wearing Brown's colours and the others Detroit. Again the wife said she preferred the Brown's colours, she loves Autumn.

Headed over to Eminem's "Mom's Spaghetti" and proceeded to get Mom's spaghetti down my new white Lions soccer jersey.

Loads to add but it was brilliant.

Ford Field is something else. Wembley Stadium is impressive, but FF is on another level again. Where’s next on the road trip?

Currently sat having food in Saugatuck West Michigan on the shore of the lake. Been to Ottawa Beach and Holland today.

Dropping the car off in Midway tomorrow then heading downtown Chicago to the hotel for two nights before leaving Thursday night for heathrow Friday morning.

Stunning time overall. Been collecting collegewear along the way. Dicks sporting goods is amazing. No single one has been the same as another!

Got Cornell, Texas Tech, Michigan State gear. Plus a ton of lions stuff.

Titans get their first win of the season in crazy style 22-21 with a walk off field goal. What the hell did I just watch.

Cardinals scored TDs on their first 3 drives, they were stomping all over us (it would have seemed insanity for anyone to suggest they would not score another point). Titans offence was just abysmal. Lucky to get 6 points (2 FGs). Offense was somehow even worse in the 3rd quarter, barely able to get a 1st down.

However......

Our defence stepped up and Arizona started to crumble. Then....(so funny), their RB breaks through the line and runs 70 yards to the endzone to score a touchdown...but the f*cking idiot dropped the ball before crossing the line (yes, that STILL happens) and it gets overturned. Would have been 28-6 and game even more over than it looked. After that, momentum turned towards the Titans. Cam Ward came alive, drove down the field and Pollard gets a TD.

Then we get a stop and we drive 60 yards down the field and then one of the bizarrest TDs I've seen. Ward throws, it gets tipped and one of the defense catches it for an interception - would likely have been game over...but he takes a few steps and falls down and the ball comes out before contact. Then there's a scramble and one of their players did his version of that goofy penalty kick thing that Trunds does where he pretends he's going to pick up the ball, but kicks it instead, that shoots the ball back towards the endzone, other defenders try and stop it, but just end up pushing it back further into their own endzone and Locket comes round and jumps on it, TD Titans. Comedy stuff.

We make another stop and get down the field again and our kicker whose missed 4 FG already this season, including a PAT today, get's the walk-off FG. Watching stuff like that is why sports fans exist. The Titans could not have been more dead and buried in that game, but somehow came back to win. I can't imagine what I'd be feeling if I was a Cardinals fan. That was brutal.

Pats just won in Buffalo. Thats a seismic shift. It wasnt a lucky win. Bill have had their run of that division and won nothing. Changes are afoot. I will say it a again. Maye is for real. Diggs was unreal against his old team. Things have definitely improved.

I guessed that would bring a smile to your face. That’s heck of a road win.
