I am envious of all the fans that can actually enjoy the NFL week in and week out because your team IS NOT THE DETROT LIONS.
Week after week I am subject to the utter stupidity that is the Lions. What a bunch of buffoons.

They have got to be the most pitifull NFL franchise of all time.
I do get some entertainment from them though,..they have become a wonderfull comedy act.

When does hockey season start?... Go Wings!!

The only thing wrong with the Lions, well wait a minute its a shorter list to say what isn't wrong with them. But those of use that call ourselves their fans just like punishment.

In Baltimore there are only the two pro sports teams, so when the Orioles start going downhill, usually around late May, early June the countdown to training camp for the Ravens start, and then when they start going doing downhill the countdown for Spring Training starts. At least Detroit usually has a competitive hockey and basketball team and lately the Tigers are somewhat decent. The Lions though are another story.

Lions fans are the most loyal of all sports fans, they have to be because their team never even makes it to the playoffs and even when they do they are out so fast it makes your head spin usually by a very one sided a$$ kicking full of sport center highlights.

What really sucks is they don't have very exciting games, their games are usually decided by half time and are perfect for a thanksgiving evening after a full belly full of turkey, just thinking about it makes me sleepy.

Post back tomorrow and let's see how many lions highlights are in the top 10 plays on sport center. I will accept their opponent's highlights too, the Lions games are usually so boring that nobody on the field with them does anything remotely exciting. I heard their punter had to replace his shoe at halftime last year because he wore it out going 3 and out over and over.

If you guys ever have a good team, I will be happy for you, as you deserve it, and if the redskins don't make it to the playoffs and the lions do I will route for them for your sake.

I love that.

Today made me embarrassed to be a Pittsburgher. WTF was up with our line? At least Polamalu made a highlight-reel-worthy play.

Falcons fan here, so I feel your pain....(although even the Falcons stuck it to Detroit pretty good this year). nelson

It could be worse though, you could be a Raiders fan.

At least the falcons and the raiders have been to the superbowl, they don't even give the lions team tickets that every other team gets so they don't bring the dark cloud that hangs over that team with them, nobody wants to see a 9 to 6 field goal kicking contest.

There are only two other teams that are as bad the Saints and the Cardinals. Let's see who gets to the super bowl first the Lions, Saints or the Cardinals, and if the Houston Texans get there first they should just let those teams go to owners who care enough to put a competitive team on the field. It would be nice to see one of those teams on Monday Night football, instead of looking at the schedule and seeing an automatic win for your team (unless they have an off day) against any of those teams.

My pick is the Saints to get there before the other 3 teams, but don't count out the Texans, if the Texans get there first then they shouldn't rebuild New Orleans next time.

Edit: Just watched sport center, and there actually was a highlight from the Lions game, don't get your hopes up, it was when the 49ers woke up and completed a long pass for a touch down, you can go back to sleep Detroit fan.

It was so nice getting our A$$E$ kicked by Mike Martz, and J.T. O'Sullivan (who?). They were not good enough for the Lions. Martz was fired and O'Sullivan was just released.

The Lions make everyone look good. You need a new contract, just play the Lions and you will have a career day.

It does make for some very interesting sports talk radio fodder though. Its Bash the Lions day every Monday.

Tim, the worst part is I think that even if the Lions do win the Superbowl, something will happen to make it forgettable, either a 9 to 6 score, or something like that would make it so people would be scratching their heads a few months after trying to remember who won the Superbowl last year. The Lions would have to make a dynasty, for at least 3 seasons to wash all of the decades of loosing off that city like a hooker after a hard night's work.

Can't wait for the Bears to play the Lions. Maybe the Bears can actually hold a fourth quarter lead.

BTW Coach, The Bears were in the Superbowl just a couple of years ago. Even though they didn't deserve it. They did it with mirrors. You know, the ones at the amusement park that make you look bigger than you really are.

That was a totally uneventful Superbowl day, as far as Football goes. I drove into the City for a Superbowl Party. And, when I exited the Expressway, my tire went flat. I changed it on the street, in below '0' temperature. Brought the tire in to be repaired, where we found that the flat was caused by a BULLET. Don't want to go back to the City for quite a while. I'll stay out on the farms. At least rabbits don't shoot back.
