An NFL team called off practice this week because of an out break of swine flu.  Of course, none of the team members were actually tested for the swine flu but they did display flu like conditions so therefore, it must be the swine flu.

After all, getting the regular flu is just so common and boring.  So, if you are going to get the flu, why not say that it is the swine flu so that you can grab the headlines.

I suppose that the Lions could use this as an excuse for the way that they play, but, unfortunately, the flu doesn’t last that long.
