Before the game started at 3:00 PM, I was compelled to go out and burn off a little steam with a two-mile run. I got back home just in time for the kickoff.

"Welcome Home (Sanitarium)" was playing when the Lions scored the go-ahead touchdown in the 4th quarter to make the score 24-17. Somehow, the lyrics of that song somewhat matched...
