There is a part of me that does not like to pile on Lions’ fans. Why? Well, they’ve been through a lot of shit in their lifetime being fans. I recall a conversation I had over the summer with a Lions fan who talked about all of the different shit that happened to him in his lifetime as a fan. Now, this is something I couldn’t relate to but I did feel bad for him. I don’t put Detroit in the ‘cursed sports fan’ category because they’ve won in other sports. In my 31 years of living, they have 3 NBA titles, 4 Stanley Cup championships and made the World Series twice. They’re not cursed by any shape of the word. Their fans have not gotten over the loss to the Packers. They keep blaming the refs whilst ignoring how much they didn’t do in the second half. It went a step further with billboards posted in Detroit.

This is dumb. Why waste your money on this type of thing? Why care so much about one game? It is over! You lost! Now, move on to play Minnesota this week. If they beat Vikings this week, things are going well for this team. Don’t worry about the game you nearly won against the Packers. Again, the refs did screw them over, but it is the classic line from Vince McMahon about Bret Hart, ‘The Lions screwed the Lions.’

Good luck to Detroit this weekend, and if they lose against Minnesota, I’m sure they’ll find something else to blame it on but themselves.

Charlie.
