I mean, you saw it
if I knew the answer, it
wouldn’t have happened
When asked what happened in the game between the Detroit Lions and the Green Bay Packers on Thursday, September 28, 2023, Green Bay Head Coach, Matt LaFleur said:
I mean, you saw it.
We got our ass kicked.
If I knew, it wouldn’t have happened,” he said, clearly perturbed.
It wasn’t good enough.
They whipped us.
They manhandled us.
Again, if I knew the answer to that, it wouldn’t have happened.
Winston Churchill once said, “Short words are best and the old words when short are best of all.“
I think Coach LeFleur would agree.
We got our ass kicked.
They whipped us.
As an addendum to that, I would like to add that old words, when short, are best of all when you can hear them for a second time.
So let me repeat what Coach LeFleur said:
I mean, you saw it.
We got our ass kicked.
If I knew, it wouldn’t have happened,” he said, clearly perturbed.
It wasn’t good enough.
They whipped us.
They manhandled us.
Again, if I knew the answer to that, it wouldn’t have happened.
Gosh but BOY HOWDY how much of life can we say that about?
But the Lions beat, handily, the Packers.
Pray do not mock me.
I am a very foolish fond old man, Threescore and upward, not an hour more nor less; And, to deal plainly, I fear I am not in my perfect mind … but in the last 47 games against Green Bay, my team, the Detroit Lions, have won but 15 times.
Mitch Albom, in his column, referred to the “… the old ghosts of Lambeau.“
They have now won 4 in a row against the Packers.
While the entire rest of the world seems to be going down the tubes, the Lions seem be on the the upswing.
I guess that adds up to the way it should be.
In 1959, the Chicago White Sox won their first pennant in 40 years.
After the game that clinched it for the White Sox was over, the Fire Chief of the City of Chicago turned on the Air Raid/Weather Alert sirens to celebrate which led most Sox fans to think that it figured that the SOX finally win and Russia drops the big one.
Right now the Lions haven’t won anything … yet.
But I hope I hear more coaches say, If I knew the answer to that, it wouldn’t have happened.
