For years and years Lions fans have been beat down. Mocked and spit on by the rest of the league.

When Barry Sanders was here, we had an excuse.

“Watch our games, we’d say. You might see something spectacular”.

But alas, the days of Barry juking defenders are but a distant memory. The days of the Matt Millen era have stunk up the city so much, you forget about that raw sewage seeping from the sewers.

Detroiters deserve something better I always told myself. But how, how could we somehow cleanse ourself from the filth of crappy football for over a half century.

For years I contemplated this predicament

And then…

A few nights ago there was a light, a faint light at the end of a eerily dark tunnel. It was in the form of an email.

An anonymous email…

At 2:30am I opened this email and everything seemed so much clearer. There were no words in this email, just a link

For the first time in my life, I cried over sports. I knew this was the answer I had long been looking for. I knew this was the gift Detroit fans had been longing for.

Amidst tears, I screamed….

“Get the F out of our city Lions, Get the F out. Let the city of celebrities take you. Let them deal with your sh#$ for the next 50 years”.

I woke up the next day a new man. Ready to take on all of life’s troubles. Just not the one thats been causing heartache since my conception.
