Yah, me and some buddies crossed the border, but the customs lady was a real be-atch, she checked out everyones birth certificates to make sure we were Canadian, and I forgot mine, but showed her my health card, and drivers licence, she wasn`t going to let me through, but gave me a warning!

Anyway, it was my first NFL game, and I was not too impressed, the fans weren`t the lively. I guess cause there weren`t too many touch downs, but still...

Oh, and I experienced the American tailgate partying at it's best in the parking lots. Met some cool people, and bought some of that watered down American beer!

We took I-75, into Pontiac County. Cops were EVERYWHERE! You guys have lots of those Chev Tahoe cop vehicles. Luckily, we didn`t get into any trouble, as we usually do.

So, anyone know where I am talking about?

Poontos, glad you were able to visit our fair state *cough* :) I'm not extremely "up" on football, but I do know they've had a pretty rough/bad season so far, and last week the head coach quit, that might account for some of the atmosphere. Hopefully things will get better for 'em.

I-75 into Pontiac, no traffic problems there I'll bet.

Atlanta is not exactly a big rival of Detroit's since they only meet once every couple of years, plus the Lions have been stinking up the place lately.

At least you enjoyed "tailgating".

I caught that game today, I'm not really a diehard fan (never been to Pontiac) but I'll catch a game now and then. I've lived in Ann Arbor and Lansing, and I've crossed the border to Windsor a few times as well.

Kinda weird watching Mo as a head coach again.
