Hope: the feeling that what is wanted can be had or that events will turn out for the best; a particular instance of this feeling; too look forward to with desire and reasonable confidence.
Hope, for this last decade, was a mostly meaningless word for Lions fans. There was no cause for hope, no reason to look towards the future; the present was bleak enough. That’s begun to change.
It’s Week 3 of the NFL season, Week 3 of Fantasy Season, and I’m just now getting around to writing a fantasy column. Do you want to sit around talking about my inadequacies, or do you want fantasy football advice? Yeah, that’s what I thought. Week 3 recap after the skip-hop.
Let me tell you a story.
The Detroit Tigers have two players who are essentially locks to play in July’s All-Star Game in Anaheim: Justin Verlander and Miguel Cabrera.

Uggghhh… I need coffee, I can’t feel my left arm, there’s marker all over my right arm, one of my eyelids feels heavier than the other, and I don’t remember a thing.

The Orlando Magic are down two games to none in this year’s Eastern Conference Finals after two home games, and the outcome of this series looks bleak for the Magic and their fans. So what can the team do tonight in Boston to take a little momentum back from the Celtics? It’ll take 3 Steps to Win Game 3.
