Did you know that the Detroit Lions was the first team to ever have a imperfect season?
DETROIT — The Detroit Lions somberly dressed after another defeat that was different than all the others.
This one made NFL history and set the stage for a perfectly imperfect season.
Detroit became the first 0-15 team when it was routed 42-7 by the New Orleans Saints on Sunday.
"Awful, embarrassing," Lions quarterback Dan Orlovsky said. "We stunk. Any bad adjective you can use, throw it in there."
The Lions try to avoid the dubious distinction of finishing 0-16 at Green Bay, where they haven't won since 1991.
"It's very real," center Dominic Raiola said. "It's right there in front of us.
"It's pretty sad that its come to this."
Drew Brees threw for 351 yards and two touchdowns after four Saints ran for scores in the first half in their first game since they were eliminated from playoff contention. more

Man beat up another man for urinatig on his leg
A man was arrested early Thursday for allegedly beating another man who had urinated on his leg while he was sleeping.
Arrested was Joshua L. Mattison, 31, of the 1000 block of South 11th Street.
The 35-year-old victim suffered a swollen right eyebrow and a bump on the back of his head, and he was treated at St. John’s Hospital. Police said he was intoxicated and uncooperative.
Mattison told police he was sleeping at his home and awoke to find the victim urinating on his leg. He yelled at the victim, and the victim ran to a house in the 1200 block of South 11th Street. Mattison and four other people followed the victim to the house, he told police.
A woman who lives at the house told police Mattison said he had a gun and blocked the door when she wouldn’t let him in the house and closed the door on him.
Mattison told police he never said he had a gun and denied threatening anyone or attacking the victim.
