Rule, Were Unable To Review The Play. The Nba Announced Yesterday That The
Shot Shouldn't Have Counted.

     The Detroit Tigers Will Be Looking To Snap A Five-Game Losing Streak

     Once Again, Detroit Lions Quarterback Jon Kitna Says The Team's Goal
For This Season Is 10 Wins. Last Season Kitna Predicted The Team Would Get
To The 10-Win Mark, But They Fell Short And Finished The Season 7-And-9.

Goal Is To Make The Playoffs. The Lions Had Their First Organized Team
