The thing with the Detroit article is there is no other way to take that. All the others the author meant something else, but in this one they clearly meant to say Detroit Blows.

Right?

Unless the image is cropped to shave off extra words. That might be what happened, and then someone with photoshop just cropped the pic to make the headline funny with the photo.  Indeed.

The image is not cropped, it just happened Batch was kneeling in the pain of defeat and his center was to his side.  

Either way, I am so fed up with Detroit Football I don\'t know what to do anymore.

yea, look at the letters..the borders of the words is whiter than they should be. It probably says something like "lions blow the lead" er something. Still funny.
